This is an unusual animated film that supposedly shows a behind the scenes look at how animated cartoons are made. Much of it is realistic...some of it is not. The biggest misconception the film might give the viewer is that it's basically a one-man operation--with one guy doing everything except giving the final approval to the script and finished cartoon. Still, it's very interesting and gives much insight into the tedious process of animated an early cartoon. Interestingly, it was made before clear cels were used and the animation was much more difficult and time consuming. The film is both live action as well as containing some animated sequences. Well worth seeing--particularly if you are a fan of early animation.
