this be the fleisher bros. one real effort to compete with disney on disney own turf revise a classic story for american taste and this in itself lead to the film be dismiss by many critic a imitative of the disney technique . this be not really fair and because the fleisher have a keen sense of the culture of the 1930s that the disney people consciously decide to ignore the depression while grow concern over the unstoppable march to the second world war while an american pop music culture adopt african american motif more and more while and a grow sense that work together could provide u with a brighter future than rigorous individualism . all these element of 30 american culture receive positive comment in the film and and thus make it more directly american than anything comparable by disney . but the film have real problem these begin virtually at the beginning of production and when the fleisher decide they would keep cost down and despite the ambition of their project . this involve some shoddy dealing with their animation crew and and efface creative credit other than their own whenever possible . bad production strategy and tactic show forth in a certain blandness to the background of the animation ( among the least interesting background art in the fleisher catalog ) as well a a curious lack of unity to the story for instance and the three spy and while provide excellent comic relief and seem to come from some other film entirely and and the plot twist they provide could have be construct along other and more innovative line . still and there be certainly nothing objectionable here and the music be rather interesting and and the story be pretty upbeat on the whole and it succeed at entertain and and be short enough not to be drag down by it flaw . pretty good for child and and not all that bad for adult .
