Graveyard Jamboree with Mysterious Mose

The puppets and background used in this short film are THE star in "Graveyard Jamboree with Mysterious Mose". The crazy puppets are a bit like monsters and Ugly Dolls combined--really cute ones. Unfortunately, as for the rest of the film, it never really engaged me. It consists of a song about Mysterious Mose and the zombies in the cemetery all having a jam session. The problem is that the song isn't particularly good and the film gets a bit old after the newness of the animation wears off about halfway through the film. It's a nice attempt, but I'd really love to see these puppets in a more traditional story...and without the song and dance.

This film was a unique puppet and drawn animation short. It was set to music from the early 1920's (?). It was fun to watch. Very colorful. Clever Idea. I would love to see more work being shown in the main stream media like this. I think this style of work would make a great kids TV show.
