Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Disappointment for a huge fan!

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

This is a cartoon in the Gandy Goose series produced by Terrytoons. There will be spoilers ahead: This short is a musical cartoon, opening with a narrator welcoming the audience to the opera and leading into the opera with a brief synopsis of the opening. Though billed as an opera, the music style varies significantly, with operetta and even a pop-jazz style at one point.Carmen's mother wants her to marry Count DoDo for the money, while Carmen insists she will only marry for love, doing an extended musical number on the subject. Count Dodo is shown and he's singularly unimpressive, to say the least. There follows an extended musical quarrel over Carmen refusing Count Dodo, with Carmen throwing things, including a cast-iron stove and nailing the count with it! Her mother sets the guards on Carmen and she sends a note to her beloved, Tyrone, via woodpecker. Her beloved is Gandy Goose. "Tyrone" has a winged horse, can fight effectively and is a tenor. He sounds a bit like Mighty Mouse. Gandy manages to fight off a whole army of knights and eventually rescues Carmen.Unlike most operas, this one ends happily for all concerned. The final scene, with Gandy and Carmen flying off on the horse, is good, so I won't spoil it here.Well worth watching.

It's opera night at the theater! It's a stand Terrytoons plot, but the gags are bigger and funnier than usual when the white cat is the soprano and Gandy Goose turns out to be a tenor.This was the peak period of Terrytoons, and for a few of the best cartoons from Paul Terry's studio, the animation was stretchier than anything seen outside of Tex Avery's wolf leering at Red or anything by Bob Clampett. The white cat, last seen as a dancing girl in oriental gauze in SOMEWHERE IN Egypt gives quite a performance. Terry's musical director, Philip Scheib, could do any of the musical genres, but he seemed to be particularly fond of operetta, giving the audience quotes from William Tell, way over the top. It's a very funny cartoon.
