  • The market is fairly flooded with good cartoon material — but you ain't seen nothing yet until you pipe this new opus just turned out of the animated studios of Van Beuren, their best to-date and one of the funniest cartoon subjects we have ever seen — bar none. Clever pen-and-ink animation is greatly enhanced by proficient musical synchronization. The gags are big laugh provokers from the flash of the main title until the end. A splendid job; book it! (en)
