What a Cute Little Boy! I Hate Him

The plot of this Columbia Color Fantasy is that a small boy mistreats his puppy. His mother paddles him and tells him that some day the dog will be bigger than he. So he dreams of that happening.

It's Mintz' cartoon factory at its cutest, which means that I really hate it. The child is a curly-haired, fat-cheeked blonde little tyke who speaks in a high-pithed lisp. Occasionally they could pull this off; the Mintz version of THE LITTLE MATCH GIRL is lovely and tragic, but ones like this have nothing in them to appeal to children, just the old biddies of the ladies' league. It's all wasted effort so far as I am concerned.
