Merrie Melody No. 1, 1932

constiffsFebruary 10, 2010

Amusing, forgettable, odd, animation stealing, unfortunately it really is problematic when the music isn't quite up to snuff. Most of the antics are recycled at this point so even the more amusing sequences aren't really all that great. Another whiff in the air.
