The Builly (1932)
*** (out of 4)
Flip and a friend are out having some fun when a bully pops their balloon for no reason. The bully just keeps causing them trouble so Flip climbs into a boxing ring to try and settle the score.
THE BULLY is a fun animated film that will certainly appeal to fans of the series. Ub Iwerks once again creates a fun natured animated film that's certainly aimed more at adults than actual kids. I thought the animation was once again excellent and I really love how the B&W really makes it feel as if you're watching something darker than your typical animated movie from this era. The boxing match contained some creative laughs including one scene where Flip has the spirit knocked out of him.
