Play Safe

Just watched this restored Max Fleischer Color Classic with French credits on the DVD collection "Saved from the Flames". It concerns a boy who plays with toy trains who tries to get on a real one but is kept from doing that by a St. Bernard that watches him. Of course, that doesn't last for long! I'll stop there and just say if you're familiar with these Fleischer cartoons then you probably won't be surprised by a sequence that has real train models in the background during a dream sequence. And that there are some faces on inanimate objects that talk. All in all, this was quite an entertaining cartoon that should provide quite a lesson for children who don't always follow instructions. Oh, and the 3-strip Technicolor process is so awesome! So on that note, I highly recommend Play Safe.
