Movie Mad (1931)
** 1/2 (out of 4)
Flip the Frog falls in love with the movies so he attempts to walk onto a movie lot but he's stopped by the security guard. Determined to get in Flip gets creative to find his way on the lot.
MOVIE MAD isn't the best film in the series but there are enough charming moments to make it worth watching. I think the highlight of the film happens early on when Flip tries to hide inside the shadow of a large man who's walking into the studio. The second portion of the short is rather creative but I honestly didn't find it all that funny or even all that entertaining. There's a nice gag wrapped around a Western setting. As usual, the animation is very good throughout and there's no doubt that Ub Iwerks managed to bring his sense of style to the picture.
