Little Boy Blue (1936)
** (out of 4)
Ub Iwerks directed this animated short, which is just a knock-off on Disney's Big Bad Wolf series. Little Boy Blue might be the title but the real story deals with a wolf trying to eat a baby sheep. Little Boy Blue and a scarecrow eventually come to the rescue. For the most part there's really nothing overly entertaining here, although if you are a fan of the director then you'll probably want to still watch it. The animation is pretty good for the most part and there's no doubt that the wolf character is mildly entertaining. The biggest problem with the film is that the story just isn't all that original and nothing fresh is done with it.
