The Phantom Ship (1936)

Review by planktonrules

The Phantom Ship

6/10

So how does a cat have nephews who are dogs?

This is one of nine cartoons where Beans the Cat starred in Looney Tunes shorts. During this period of time, the Harmon-Ising team had left Looney Tunes, which was a good thing long-term, as their cartoons tended to have too much singing and cutesy characters, but since they took Bosko with them, the studio was left scrambling to create a new star. Their attempts were mostly unsuccessful for the next couple years and the likes of Bean as well as Buddy and Goopy came and went...and 99.9% of viewers today probably never heard of these characters. When you see "The Phantom Ship" you might just understand why. It's because although Looney Tunes had some major talent animating their shorts, the characters and writing were generally quite bland.

Joining Beans in this one are his nephews, Ham and Ex...which is weird since they are dogs and Beans is a cat! I wonder what sort of unholy union created these creatures! Regardless, the three go flying in Beans' plane and discover a phantom ship filled with frozen pirates. But as Beans loots the ship, the pirates come to life and give chase.

Beans and his nephews have no particular personality other than they are good. Sadly, the same can be said for the pirate leader...he's bad but not much more. Overall, very well animated and dull.
