Featured review
The sorts of shorts that make most folks cringe or fall asleep today.
In the 1920s, 30s and 40s, Paramount produced a bunch of cartoons which were quite popular. However, when these same films are watched today, they are a total bore. They consist of a sing-a-long...often with a bouncing ball...and in the day folks actually sang along in theaters but today they'd just stop watching them. Additionally, in "Camptown Races" the racist imagery would most likely make many people have an apoplexy!
The story begins with the animals all going to a minstrel show! There, several animals dress up and act like the worst black stereotypes...including a kangaroo that acted a lot like Steppin Fetchit. Even for 1948, this sort of thing was out of fashion...and you wonder why Paramount even released it in the first place. Overall, rather unsavory and dull.
