One of the musical cartoons that Warner Brothers usually did quite well and a very worthy effort, 22 August 2001
9/10
Author: Robert Reynolds (minniemato@hotmail.com) from Tucson AZ

A nominee for an Oscar, this cartoon has excellent artwork, a great musical score and an entertaining premise to make it a most worthy effort indeed. A very cute cartoon that uses artwork to provide a counterpoint to the premise on occasion. The music alone would make it worth watching this one. Some of the jokes are rather dated, but it's still a very well done cartoon. Recommended.
