I guess I'm not as enthusiastic about this film as others who posted here. I enjoy a wide range of movies/films, have worked as a film reviewer in the past, etc., etc., but I kept thinking "So what's the point?" during my viewing of this film. I felt the same way about other "MTV-like" films such as the (IMHO) AWFUL remake of "Romeo and Juliet" set in "corporate America." I can appreciate new film approaches such as "Run Lola Run", but this one just didn't do anything for me. None of the characters were appealing to me, the atmosphere seemed "emotionally sterile" (even with the "scream," which seemed annoying and silly when it started breaking things)and ultimately, as I've stated, I was left with a view of "so what's the point?"

I saw this cartoon for the first time when I was under the age of ten, didn't know it was a "movie spoof" (which is mentioned in other sources)until I became an adult. It is one of my favorite cartoon shorts of all time (and I'm over 50, though not as old as this 'toon!) The "tune" sung by "Owl Jolson" gets stuck in your head once your mind wanders that way! I haven't seen the cartoon in several years, but I find myself remembering it fondly! Love it! Love it! Love it! I was also surprised to find that one of the voices is done by a former child star who was part of the "Our Gang/Li'l Rascals" films. If you are a "baby boomer" like me and haven't seen this classic cartoon, you are truly missing a gem...another "obscure" music-related cartoon favorite: "Russian Rhapsody" (with "Gremlins from the Kremlin")
