Featured review
They don't make 'em like they used to,....THANK GOODNESS!!
This is a totally awful little film short that has historical value but should hold practically no interest to any sane person in the 21st century. Like so many of the very early sound films, it's an experimental film that showcases singing and dancing--a VERY common theme of the day. Many of these early films feature some pretty anemic musical numbers but this one is much worse due to the gimmick of having all the acts be kids. The overall effect is akin to being Homer Simpson being forced to watch one of his kids' school talent shows (D'oh)!! And, to make it worse, the host of this short is a bizarre little 6 year-old who just seems creepy and spouts some really campy dialog that just seems weird coming from a little kid and so it's almost like one of the kids from VILLAGE OF THE DAMNED, but with curly hair. Dreadful and uninteresting, this is one short that is better ignored despite it being filmed in two-color Technicolor and sound.
FYI--It's probably due to its age and deterioration that the film was almost completely orange! The film, if it weren't so awful, would be a great candidate for restoration.
