Tex Avery did quite a few shorts lampooning the travelogue shorts that were prevalent in the 1930s and one or two satires on the newsreels pre-television visual accounts of news of the week/month. Here he does a short presented in the form of a newsreel that pokes fun at travelogues. Very nice figureskating sequence using rotoscoping -the shooting of live-action footage that is later animated-that is one of the better bits. Good short, but Avery did better in the same vein. Still worth seeking out (I personally think that even Avery's less successful shorts are better or as good as some other directors best work!). Recommended.
