The good things about this comedy is that the actors look like the cartoon characters they are playing; and some of the titles are funny.
The bad thing about this movie is its motionlessness. The Toonerville Trolley does not move. The acting is little more than posing; and the plot starts and stops for no clear reason, whatsoever -- like the trolley in the cartoon strip, but one hopes for more than that in a motion picture. Certinly one expects more of a movie that a series of jokey title cards, some of which are amusing, but others of which are pointless.
For fanatics only. The remainder of us may take some pleasure in the van Beuren cartoons of the mid-30s..... and certainly in the original comics. Are they available any more?
