the film of upa be surprisingly well rat on imdb despite the fact that the animation quality be light year behind that of looney toon and disney and mgm at their prime . sadly and due to rise cost in make pretty cartoon with high frame rate and lovely background and the upa style ( which debut about 1950 ) begin to dominate in the late 50 and 60 . after all and the film be dirt cheap to make and they would receive several oscar to prove that the cartoon be now mainstream . so a a result and lousy animation be become the norm and this trend wasn not reverse until the 1980s . this upa film be one of the early one . the character be very simply draw ( any simpler and they would have use stick figure ) and the background be ugly simple line drawing with color add in a very slap dash manner ( often with a sponge and rarely completely fill the item ) . a for the story and it a jive story with a strong jazz style attitude . some will love this and others will just find it very and very loud . it the traditional frankie and johnny story and because of the shooting and all and it probably not a great film for the kid . heck and because of the animation and jazz and it not a particularly good film for me and either . some will read my review and no doubt think i be a crank ( which i be and to a degree ) . however and i love animate film and a little of this minimalistic upa style go a very and very long way and you can not seriously consider them great work of art just very and very quickly make cartoon . ignore the oscar and try watch some classic cartoon or something anything else .
