Really Surprised!

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

. . . Jane Fonda kicked back on their Atlanta Verandah with six pitchers of mint juleps and made a random selection of 11 Looney Tunes to be consigned to the Fire within the 13th Circle of Hell, no evidence has turned up to date that any notes were taken as to any REASON why this "Turner's Dozen" were Damned For All Time, rather than scores of other potentially Equal Opportunity offenders. As was the case with the "Rebellion" of Ted's ancestor Nat, who attacked an apparently random group of victims, there may have been little Rhyme or Reason to Ted's Choice. (This Eenie-Meeni-Ness may run in the family, like hemophilia sometimes does). Assuming that Ted and Jane actually fast-forwarded through what they forbade everyone else to see (as opposed to X-Ing out shorts based on their titles alone--after all, "Hallelujah" is pretty tough to spell, ain't it, Ted?), it seems most likely this booze-addled pair Red-Lined HITTIN' THE TRAIL when they noticed that the male pig loses his shorts about 5:56 into this cartoon as he jumps into the Mississippi River to save Uncle Tom. Looney Tunes are no place for Pig's Feat, eh, Ted?

Overall, I think this cartoon wasn't for me. I understand why it is banned, but that's not going to change my rating. The cartoon just isn't funny. It's just dancing with skeletons, which was okay, but then A save of Uncle Tom is going to be pointless if it is in the protagonists' favor. If there was more to it like multiple attempts to save, then it would more entertaining, but this one doesn't cut it for me.The first few Looney Tunes were not amusing. Occasionally, there will be a laugh or two, but that's it.

Just saw this, one of Warner Bros. infamous "Censored 11" that will probably never be on regular television again and will probably be only available on public domain tapes or DVDs from bargain basement companies or the internet, on Thad's Animation Blog. It begins with a sequence inspired by Steamboat Willie with whistles and dancing, continues with another one with an "Uncle Tom" character at a graveyard with skeletons dancing possibly inspired by Skeleton Dance, and ends back at that same steamboat with the "Tom" character getting his butt nicked by a giant saw! Yikes! That last scene, along with a couple of characters laughing at it, disturbed me more than any "stereotyping" in here that might be offensive to some viewers today. Other than that, this was a pretty entertaining musical cartoon made by Hugh Harmon and Rudolf Ising long after leaving Walt Disney before he created his famous mouse.

This short is one of eleven that likely won't be seen on television any time soon, if ever again. An innocuous little thing, cute in spots and with some good animation, it also has elements that make it unpalatable to some in the present day culture that has developed a mindset that no one should ever get their feelings hurt. Which, in the case of this short, is really unfortunae, because there is a scene with dancing skeletons which, though a bit derivative, is almost as enjoyable as the short it's emulated, The Skeleton Dance. An engaging cartoon and well worth the time and effort to locate. Most highly recomended.
