The Saga of Windwagon Smith

This is one of the most un-Disney cartoons I've ever seen from this studio. It simply looks unique--not like any other cartoon I've ever seen. Now this isn't really bad, as Disney's short cartoons from the late 50s and early 60s were pretty poorly animated--with VERY simple drawings and backgrounds. This cartoon is a far cry from them or the older style art of Mickey and Donald. You just have to see it to understand.

The story is a strange tall-tale about a weirdo named Windwagon Smith--a sea captain that has created a combination of a covered wagon and a sailing ship. The locals in Kansas are excited about it and throw money at him to build an even bigger one. What happens next is very odd--and the ending is VERY unusual. I liked it as a change of pace but cannot imagine the average child enjoying this odd cartoon--especially with its eerily animated character, Molly. Genuinely odd but highly original.
