Charles Mintz' cartoon studio was going through one of its kiddie phases when it turned out this one. It's about a four-year old pilot and four identical blonde stewardesses trying to get a collapsing air liner off the ground to musical numbers.
In large part it's engaging simply because it is so bizarre. There also seems to be an immense amount of rotoscoping used, as all the adult passengers are drawn and move in a fairly realistic style. Mintz' staff would do much better in the open sentimentality of THE LITTLE MATCH GIRL and considerably worse. This one falls somewhere in the middle and holds up better than the air plane.
