The 26 Little Lulu cartoons made during 1944-1948 (and the two made in the early 60s) were uneven (individually and the series as a general overview) but watchable.
It's an uneven series of cartoons, with some faring better than others (there are some good ones, some mediocre ones and ones that fall somewhere in between). 'I'm Just Curious' is one of the weaker Little Lulu cartoons and is barely average.
While the animation may take some getting used to, it is more refined now than it was when the Little Lulu series first started with more smoothness and more vibrant use of colour. Most of the music is very energetic and lush, the theme song is still infectious.
The second half is better than the first half, with a few amusing parts between Little Lulu and the hawk and the ending is good. Little Lulu is engaging, the hawk amuses and Little Lulu's father is a good example of an adult male authority figure that Little Lulu can pit against effectively. The characters are voiced well.
However, the first half does drag pretty badly and mostly consists of Little Lulu singing a song that is not that interesting or memorable. 'I'm Just Curious' is very light on plot, is thin in content for half of the cartoon before picking up a little in the second half and the humour has variable results with some amusing moments and others that fall flat.
So all in all, watchable but uneven and barely average. 5/10 Bethany Cox
