By the late 1930s, Looney Tunes was one of the better cartoon studios. Their animation quality was excellent...probably only second to Disney. And, they developed a few decent recurring characters. It wasn't like this in the early to mid-1930s...where the studio was really struggling to find its way and they didn't really have any decent and memorable characters--just cute and forgettable ones. So, why when things had improved so much did Looney Tunes invest in a dozen cartoons starring Sniffles starting in 1939? While the animation was nice in all the Sniffles cartoons, the character itself was lousy...cute but saccharine sweet as well. All this while the studio ALSO was making Daffy Duck and Porky Pig shorts....fun ones at that.

In this one, Sniffles leaves home and wanders about the countryside. In the process, he sees a lot of things that scare him.

Dull, dull and dull. This cartoon is a huge step back for the studio and it took eight years before Sniffles took his last bow. Hard to watch despite the nice animation quality.
