Music: Carl Stalling's first cartoon, and it is striking, after watching a lot of earlier Looney Tunes, how far a Stalling score goes to making a cartoon. Once you've got Stalling, you've already got half the cartoon. A
Enjoyment: It has the old-timey approach (or lack there-of) to story and characters, but takes some big steps towards the classic Looney Tunes approach to humor. C

GPA: 1.8/4
