Great, great, great!

"A Gander at Mother Goose", directed by Tex Avery, is a wonderful Warner Bros. cartoon that essentially has no plot. Instead, it presents a series of clever comic spin-offs of classic children's fairy tales. You wouldn't expect anything less from the wacky Warner Bros. cartoon studio!

My favorite moments from "A Gander at Mother Goose": I love Carl Stalling's jazzy music score during the opening credits, as well as Humpty Dumpty's butt joke, as well as the dog's reaction to receiving a tree after wishing on a star, as well as the Big Bad Wolf slobbering the words "huff" & "puff" and overreacting to the pigs' insistence that he use mouthwash.

One final point regarding the Jack & Jill sequence in this cartoon. It reminds me of the lyrics to a song: "Jack and Jill went up a hill, / Jill came down with a twenty-dollar bill!"
