Review of Believe it or Don't

Just discovered this unusual live action/animated short on the Europa Film Treasures site. It's made by the now obscure experimental film maker Charles R. Bowers, an American. A parody of the Ripley's "Believe It or Not" shorts series, Believe It or Don't has three narrated segments: a circus act entirely performed by peanuts with stick hands and legs, a hen that lays eggs from which toy autos come out of, and a humanized lobster who looks like a saloon singer walking the streets but actually becomes cheery when he plays the xylophone! While the short looks primitive today, Bowers' Believe It or Don't retains its entertainment value especially during the last sequence that should still amuse some little ones under the age of 10. Highly recommended.
