MEESA BACK! And this time, I’m finally starting the decade that probably really should be where you start if you ever try to do this. I can tell you though, this year does not start off pretty, but there’s a very distinct turning point where the quality gets significantly better, and it seems that things are finally on track to being what we all know and enjoy (love is a strong word here) about Looney Tunes.
I will make sure to mark titles that I found of particular interest for GREAT, WORTHWHILE, or TERRIBLE!!! (If it’s outlined in black, I didn’t really feel like the short offered much of anything, and is just harmless filler.) Merrie Melody shorts (which are shorts that don't feature a recurring character) will be denoted by an "MM" after the title.
271. Porky’s Last Stand:
To start the 1940’s we have a cartoon that isn’t completely terrible! It’s just pretty middle of the road. It’s just Porky running a restaurant with Daffy Duck and some antics ensue when Daffy tries to kill a cow for more hamburgers. Just safe and basic. Not much going on here. Can’t expect things to turn around instantaneously! (4/10)
272. The Early Worm Gets the Bird (MM):
Well, the 2nd short of the 1940’s is absolutely atrocious. This one is filled to the brim with black stereotypes, and relies on it far too much. It’s about a family of (ugh) “Blackbirds” who are told by their “Mammy” about not going after the early worm or else they’ll get eaten by the fox.
What follows is a little journey by one of the children (with an extremely irritating fake accent) going after the bird. The stereotyping and racism fill this one to the brim, and there isn’t anything of value in this one. The jokes are even lazy and stupid. Just a bad short through and through. (3/10)
273. Africa Squeaks:
#&$#*!!! This is even worse than the last one (if the title didn’t give it away.) More racist jokes, more stupidity, and just all around bullshit. It doesn’t really have a plot except for Porky Pig being in Africa leading some native around. The jokes are extremely lazy...such as the joke literally being that an Ostrich is sleeping with it’s head underground. (I admittedly did chuckle at the baffling nature of the joke, but not the joke itself.) Another joke featured DEER and a Condor. (Again, I felt cheated because of the anarchism.)
Overall, this is one of the worst, most, lazy, and terrible shorts I’ve watched yet. I really hope that the next cartoon, “The Mighty Hunters” doesn’t follow suit with with stereotypes and racist depictions. (1.5/10)
This image pretty much sums up the whole thing quite well.
274. The Mighty Hunters (MM):
So, yes. This is filled with some stereotyping, as it deals with Native Americans, but I didn’t find this to have outright terrible depictions. The only problem I saw was really at the beginning and end, where a voice over narrator uses words like “Reds” “Savages” and such to describe the Native Americans.
The rest of it is just kinda cute and innocent because it’s really about these little Native American kids who go on a little hunt. They live amongst puppies for some reason, and the only adult you see is an arm.
The stereotyping really does sour it though. It just sort of made me feel uneasy watching it, because I felt like something really disturbing could happen at any moment. I can’t really recommend this one. (PLEASE DON’T HAPPEN FOR THE NEXT SHORT...) (5.5/10)
275. Busy Bakers (MM):
Basically, this is “The Elves and The Shoemaker” but, it’s told with bakers instead. Bizarrely, the short can’t seem to decide if it’s going all the way with the retelling by making the bakers tiny, because the sizes of the Bakers range from being smaller than a donut, to being actual human size. It’s also worth nothing that it was clearly that some of the bakers were meant to be caricatures of celebrities. I think I recognized the Marx Brothers, and the 3 Stooges(?). It was interesting to watch, because it was well animated, and overall a fun time. (6.5/10)
276. Ali-Baba Bound:
Okay, so this definitely has some stereotypes of Arabic people. Yet again, a recurring theme for this year. It’s unfortunate because there were a couple of good gags in here, but the short definitely has some problems. The pacing and animation are pretty off, and not much happens aside from Porky defending a building from Ali-Baba and his “Forty Sleeves” (an example of a gag that made me smile.)
Unfortunately, the short ends with a particularly eager individual, who really REALLY wants to suicide bomb the building porky is in, and the word “Suicide” is actually used. The guy is eager in the way that Scrappy Doo is eager to get into a fight, if you have recollection of him enough. That alone really destroys this cartoon into the “terrible” category. A few decent gags don’t help it. (4.5/10)
277. Elmer’s Candid Camera (MM):
Here we go! The cartoon that, before I began this project, was the one I assumed was the very first Looney Tunes cartoon. And, in some ways, it can be considered as such. With a few exceptions, I could have started here and been none the wiser, because this is the big ol’ blueprint for how most of the best known shorts would play out (although, there are some shorts that play out like this that came before, namely “Porky’s Duck/Hare Hunt”, and “Hare-um Scare-um”)
If it wasn’t obvious, this is the first true appearance of Elmer Fudd, voice and all. He looks a little different, and he isn’t a hunter, but he definitely has the same mannerisms, and his personality is pretty much on point already. He’s trying to take pictures of a rabbit, (who isn’t quite Bugs Bunny, but “Happy Rabbit” who looks like Bugs Bunny, and has a personality that is also a little different) but, the rabbit just decides to mess with him to keep him from taking pictures. (A key difference here with the rabbit is that he decides to screw with Elmer for no reason, where as actual Bugs has a reason to screw with people.)
The pacing is still a little slow, but there’s a certain air of confidence to the short, perhaps in the animation, and cinematography, that sort of makes it feel like they realized that this is the winning formula that they’ve been after for such a long time. It’s a great short, and I can recommend it for sure, but bare in mind that it’s still a prototype of what will be the *true* introduction of the formula a little later this year. (8.5/10)
278. Pilgrim Porky:
Another one where you can tell there are going to be problems from the get go. Stereotypes, historical anachronisms, and just overall poor quality with this one. Porky comes on the boat to America as a Pilgrim...and that’s basically it. Not much else to it, story wise.
Compared to a similar (in some ways) short “Johnny Smith and Poker Huntas” this one fails because it doesn’t really do much with the nonsense going on. Instead of the gags and anachronisms changing and molding the story to the point of absurdity, this tells the same story with a few silly gags, but it plays it safe and really doesn’t do anything else (a common trend for Porky Pig shorts.) But, yeah. There’s a black stereotype and a Native American stereotype (apparently Sitting Bull met the Pilgrims, who knew?!?) and it just didn’t work for me. (4/10)
279. Cross Country Detours (MM):
Another “nature documentary” short, this time regarding state parks. At first, it starts out pretty run of the mill, and honestly pretty damn boring. Suddenly, about halfway through, it takes a pretty crazy turn (honestly, its like someone else took over) and there are some insane jokes with a frog shooting himself, and a stripper.
One thing I never really thought worth mentioning about these types of shorts is that there tends to be a recurring character that’s doing something that is repeatedly checked in on throughout the short, in this one it’s a dog that slowly makes his way across the US to get to California. The little bit is pretty boring, and not that interesting, which I find emblematic of the rest of the short. Not that great overall, but some jokes kind of make sort of middle of recommendation. (5.5/10)
280. Confederate Honey (MM):
Yet another short where you can tell that its headed in a bad direction from the title alone. This time it’s a *looooose* retelling of ‘Gone With the Wind’ (which is, admittedly, impressive in that it got the general idea out in 8 minutes) starring Elmer Fudd as “Ned Cutler.”
Of course, you can’t have a short set in the Civil War without racist depictions of Black slaves. Some of this imagery is the worst I’ve seen yet, and it’s really getting exhausting. Worse yet, this particular short is *NOT* a censored 11 short (it should be!) and only gets away with what it does is because it’s a “parody.”
It’s not the WORST... But, there are definitely some things that place it among the worst. 1940 is absolutely the worst and most racist year of Looney Tunes I’ve watched, and I can’t really imagine it getting much worse. 6 of 10 so far have some sort of stereotype or racist depiction. Please let this be the end. (I don’t see many titles that seem racist for the rest of the year, so that could be a good sign!) (6/10)
281. Slap Happy Pappy (MM):
Oh, look. There was a racist depiction of a black man inside of an egg that the Easter bunny had, that didn’t last very long at all!
Outside of that this short is perhaps one of the most dated shorts yet. It features a rooster named Eddie who’s excited to have a son for the first time, after another failure he proceeds to run into a series of 1940 celebrity caricatures I couldn’t recognize, to help him succeed. Apparently, one of them is supposed to be Bing Crosby helps out, and you actually don’t find out if he has a boy or not.
I actually hate these shorts with the celebrity cameos, because it dates it far too much. I have similar problems with other shows that do this, and the short was already slow and boring to start with. Not a great one, again, pretty bad. (5/10)
282. The Bear’s Tail (MM):
A clever little retelling of “Goldilocks and the 3 bears” mashed up with “Little Red Riding Hood.” I found it to be pretty enjoyable, and well paced. I also found the mash-up to feel rather fresh! I’ve seen a bunch of mashups of these types of stories (Hoodwinked being a more modern example) but, this felt like the plot was well organized and planned than simply something that was thrown together.
I also noticed some Disney influence here and there (it opens with an actual book) and a bit of multi-plane camera work at the start. It felt rather ambitious, but I’m not gonna say its a masterpiece by any stretch of the imagination. Could definitely recommend, either way. (And, no stereotypes!) (8/10)
283. The Hardship of Miles Standish (MM):
Myles Standish was a real guy, so I’m not sure how even loosely this adaptation of his story is, but I assume it’s pretty far from the mark. It’s a story of how Miles Standish (a pilgrim) tries to win the love of Pricilla (another Pilgrim) by having Elmer Fudd sing her a Telegram. There were actually a few gags in this that were really funny (including the very first one.) But, there were also some problematic depictions of native Americans.
Overall, I could compare it to both “Johnny Smith and Poker Huntas” and “Pilgrim Porky” and say that this short falls somewhere in the middle of the two in terms of quality, probably a little bit more towards the quality of the former, because that too had problematic depictions of Native Americans. Good short, worth it for a few gags. (6/10)
284. Porky’s Poor Fish:
A painfully dull and boring short that almost put me to sleep. When a cat get’s into Porky’s pet shop, the fish revolt against the cat. Not much really happens. I will say there was one particularly visual gag that I found to be particularly adorable, and I loved it: Filet of Sole actually being shoes and doing a little tap dance number! Awww! Otherwise, completely forgettable, of course. (4/10)
285. You Ought to Be in Pictures:
Out of these first 285 shorts, this is only the 3rd that I had seen before I began working on this quest to watch all of the shorts. This is an absolutely fantastic short that clearly had a lot of influence on the industry later on down the line, with things such as “Who Framed Roger Rabbit” being clearly inspired by it.
The story is pretty cool, with Porky and Daffy going from being on a sheet of paper, to entering into the real world. (The 3rd time this has been done in a Looney Tune) but, this is absolutely fantastic, because the effect really works. Daffy convinces Porky to quit his job as a cartoon to pursue feature films, and Porky tries to make it big. It’s fun, it’s cool, it’s fast paced, and it’s by and large the one of the most ambitious short in the entire Looney Tunes series (and it succeeds at that ambition to boot!)
This is definitely one of my personal favorite shorts, and I think it’s a bonafide classic already, but I can definitely say this is among the greatest ever made. (10/10)
286. Sniffles Takes a Trip (MM):
Sniffles (you guessed it) takes a trip, into the country side. While this is very, very, light on humor and story, it’s a perfectly innocent little cartoon.
I realize that that might sound like I’m giving this a free pass for no reason, but really, other shorts like this clearly weren’t as set in stone tonally as this one was. It very clearly wasn’t trying to be overly goofy at times. It’s just a quiet nice little short that doesn’t do anything too crazy. It’s perfect harmless and there’s not much in terms of actual issues.
Of course, if you’re not into “cute and innocent” it wouldn’t be for you, but I think this one is a great example of the producers clearly knowing the tone. This feels like yet another step in the right direction! (8/10)
287. A Gander at Mother Goose (MM):
I am going to be writing down my thoughts on this in real time, in a bit of change of pace, here we go!
It starts off off with some good and cute animation, just quick Mother Goose story jokes. The gags seem to be pretty cute and funny at times! Much like the previous short, the tone seems to be pretty on point. The jokes are plentiful and interesting...including one of a recurring gag I’ve noticed where dogs are obsessed with trees, supposedly to pee on?
I’m not sure how much of these count as “Mother Goose” stories? The 3 Little Pigs, Little Hiawatha, T’was the Night Before Christmas? Well, I-annnnd it’s over.
Well, it was short and sweet. Kinda cute. Can’t say I enjoyed this format, but I did enjoy this short. I hope things continue this level of quality! (7.5/10)
288. The Chewin’ Bruin:
One thing that I really hate (with few exceptions) is when the title of something clearly came first, and then the story was built around it. This is not an exception, because it’s about a dog who hunts a bear who really wants his chewing “tobacky.” I refuse to believe the title didn’t come first on this one.
Other than that, it was unremarkable. The animation was a little bit better than usual on a Porky Pig short (Oh, he was in this, but just barely) but, otherwise forgettable nonsense. (6/10)
289. Tom Thumb in Trouble (MM):
This is a cute and sweet little short about little Tom Thumb, and how a bird saves his life, and how he goes searching for it after his father misunderstands. The short has great animation, and works on multiple other levels. It’s not trying to be funny or absurdist, it’s just trying to tell a story. And, really that’s all I ask for. Fantastic! (8/10)
290. Circus Today (MM):
I normally love the aesthetic and feel of the circus, but this just didn’t do it for me. It’s just a very thorough series of gags revolving around circus tropes. Not many of the gags landed for me, and a lot of them were gags from previous shorts. In fact, I saw quite a few of the punchlines coming, merely because I had seen the exactly same joke before. Not a big fan of this circus. Stop clowning around! (Come to think of it, I can’t recall seeing any clowns. What an awful sin!) (5/10)
291. Porky’s Baseball Broadcast:
A painfully average short, that really just consists of Porky being an announcer for a baseball game. Most of the jokes don’t land. Although, the few that did made me laugh out loud. I think a baseball fan would enjoy this a lot more than I did, and I ain’t no baseball fan. Next! (5/10)
292. Little Blabbermouse (MM):
This one caught me a little off guard. It’s really just another one of those “random objects come to life in a store” shorts that I hate so much, but it’s framed in a rather unique way. Instead of being a disembodied voice that’s explaining everything, it’s an actual character. In this case, a W.C. Fields mouse. I would say that this slight change actually helps with improve the overdone plot quite a bit.
Sadly, there is also retreading to. A lot of songs such as “We’re in the Money” and “Singin’ in the Bathtub” are sung in this, among others, these were already included in full in previous shorts that were like this. It’s a quick medley of songs here, but it still feel awfully familiar, even if it has been 10 years since any of those songs were used.
I wanna say this short wasn’t very good, but I think I genuinely enjoyed it. The animation was nice too. If you haven’t seen any of the other shorts like this, this may be a good alternative. Probably the best of this “genre” outside of “Billboard Frolics” from a couple years back. (7/10)
293. The Egg Collector (MM):
This short is more or less a remake of 1939’s “Little Brother Rat” but, the story is changed in a few major ways, and I think it’s a lot better overall because of it.
First of all, the original short featured a rather rebellious little Sniffles, but here he is depicted as much more sweet and innocent. In both shorts, he goes after an owl egg for a collection of some sort. The designs of the owl, and the baby owl are both the same, but a bookworm character (from the short “Sniffles and the Bookworm”) joins him. It’s an interesting little story, and it doesn’t have the rather odd ending of the original short either where a cat attacks.
It’s an interesting short just for comparisons sake, but overall well done. Much like “Sniffles Takes a Trip” is innocent and harmless, and it works perfectly well tonally. A couple of jokes got a chuckle out of me too. Overall, pretty good! (8/10)
294. A Wild Hare (MM):
We’re finally here. Bugs Bunny has officially entered the building! Hooray! As has the hunter version of Elmer Fudd! Huzzah!
Much like the last short, this short has a lot of similarities to a previous short, this time the previous short being “Elmer’s Candid Camera.” A lot of what happens is remarkably similar throughout the entire thing. Now, I could also chalk this up to formulaic storytelling, but I can’t quite tell at this point. It seemed much more like they took another stab at the dynamic between Elmer and a Rabbit, and this time it worked a lot better.
I think this is a great short, but perhaps there’s a bit too much that relies on the novelty. I can say that I really enjoyed it though, and I can’t wait for the next short of this kind! (9/10)
295. Ghost Wanted (MM):
This reminded me quite a bit of Casper the Friendly ghost shorts (which are NOT Looney Tunes, in case you are wondering) in terms of character design as well as general overall atmosphere. The actual cartoons for Casper didn’t launch until around 1945, but he existed in a comic book or children’s book before then. Regardless, I don’t think it’s a rip-off by any means.
i thought the shorts was kind of boring. The pacing was a a little down compared to other shorts from era, so it didn’t really shine bright in that department. Even the story: A ghost tries to get a job (I guess?) and the interviewer (also a ghost) screws with him. I just thought it was a pretty run of the mill short, with perhaps some good animation. (7/10)
296. Patient Porky:
Well, uh that certain was, uh “Looney.” Really, this one was a mess, and I really couldn’t follow too much of what was going on. It’s basically a bunch of hospital jokes, and then it follows a seemingly insane cat who tries to perform surgery on Porky. The jokes were weak, and the entire thing just bored and confused me as to what exactly I was supposed to be following. Oh, and there was a black stereotype, again. This time as an elevator Bellhop. Weak. (4/10)
297. Ceiling Hero (MM):
A comprehensive account of every terrible joke about airplanes you can possibly imagine. (The list of good jokes can be found in the film Airplane!) It just goes on and on and on, with none of the jokes landing. None of them were funny, and this is by far the worst of this type of short so far (where it’s all pun and no story) simply because it doesn’t stray from the subject matter at all, and a lot of the jokes are seen coming from a mile away. Abysmal. (3/10)
298. Malibu Beach Party (MM):
“Jack Bunny” holds a party for the Hollywood elite of 1940. Not much really happens except for jokes revolving around said celebrities, and if you have no idea who they are supposed to be caricatures of, the entire thing falls apart. I recognized Clark Gable (who has big ears, his only defining characteristic in these shorts) and someone who I think, maybe, was Peter Lorre.
And, I have heard of Jack Benny, and I was fascinated to find out that a very common black stereotype you see in these shorts (a black man who calls everyone “Boss”) is actually supposed to be a reference to Rochester, a character from the Jack Benny Program. Interesting, but also the depiction is still given that “Black man with big pink lips” caricature, that’s pretty terrible looking.
I would say that with few exceptions, this is one of the most dated shorts. Too much relying on jokes that barely anybody would know today. (3/10)
299. Calling Dr. Porky:
Uh. Ummm. Okay? This was something. I guess the story is that there’s a drunk who goes to the hospital because he’s hallucinating the fact that 3 ghost elephants keeping harassing him. Porky plays the doctor who’s there to help him. I really don’t understand what exactly they were going for with this one. I was really left scratching my head trying to figure out what exactly was going on the whole time, because I couldn’t discern what it all was supposed to mean. This was entirely incomprehensible, and not funny. (2.5/10)
300. Stage Fright (MM):
The 300th short! And a disappointing one at that! Another short that’s pretty confusing. (Am I going crazy?) This time its about the two little dogs from some of the previous shorts. In this one instead of a house or a carnival, they are back stage at...some sort of variety show? The spend the entire time trying to get a bone and wind up having to deal with a bird that lives in a magicians hat, and a seal. Not much really happens, it’s really random and not in a good way. I really don’t know what’s up with these. (4/10)
301. Prehistoric Porky:
Okay, this one was a bit more sensical, and at least had a bit of sense in terms of where it was going, and a few good jokes. If the title didn’t make it obvious, Porky is a caveman, and he wants a new suit (a weird direction to go in...) so he goes hunting. It works well enough, but there’s a repetitive running gag where all the dinosaurs that look ferocious are actually just silly weaklings. Most of the jokes are like this, and it’s not really very funny even the first time, but the final bit did add a bizarre twist that made me kinda laugh because it was so weird. Overall, kinda of middle of the road. (6/10)
302. Holiday Highlights (MM):
I was expecting a Christmas special of some sort, but instead I got an interesting retrospective of different Holidays throughout the year. While most of the jokes were just repeats of similar jokes I’ve seen before (such as the ever popular “dogs love trees” joke, which appeared TWICE in this short) there were a couple that threw me for a loop.
In particular, there was a joke about a successful student getting a degree, leaving university, and then immediately getting in a Bread Line (this did come out during the Great Depression after all) AND THEN, he sees the professor who gave him the degree ALSO ahead of him in line. Probably one of the strongest and most relevant jokes to date, because besides the direct breadline reference, it’s still pretty true in today’s society.
Overall, there were good parts, and a few “eh” parts, so I’d say it’s a little better than middle of the road (and hey, at least it tried!) (6.5/10)
303. Goodnight Elmer (MM):
I really liked this one! It invokes a lot of silent film humor (the short itself is primarily sound effects and music, with no words spoken at all except for a scream at the end) into this neat little story about Elmer Fudd trying to deal with a candle that’s keeping him from falling asleep. (The story itself reminded me quite a bit of “ The Sorcerer’s Apprentice” from Fantasia.)
Some of the elements seemed a little too silly at times (which is saying a lot) and a joke or two went on a bit longer than it probably should have. But, it still worked really well as a cohesive package. A few jokes actually made me laugh out loud too. It’s interesting to see a short try something different because I can’t recall many other shorts that went for this style of humor. What a great time. (8/10)
304. The Sour Puss:
This cartoon seems pretty focused, and doesn’t go off the rails too much, which is good. It’s a decent story about Porky and his cat going on a fishing trip, and how the fish screws around with them (a recurring theme in these shorts is animals on hunting trips screwing with the hunter) and it’s done pretty well, with a lot of originality. I can’t say it’s an amazing short, because the humor wasn’t really all that well done (and it repeats the “animal shooting itself in the head” gag) and it felt a little lack luster because of it. Oh, and some racist caricature of a Asian actor appears at the end. (5/10)
305. Wacky Wildlife (MM):
Yet another “documentary” short. This time it’s about various animals across the world. And, yet again, we get mostly terrible puns and stupid jokes. I’ll admit that a couple of them were funny, but some of them went on for so long that I was finally able to rationalize the problem with a lot of the pacing:
If you wait too long to get to the punchline, the audience is gonna figure out the joke before it comes.This was largely the case throughout the short, because so many of the jokes had been done before. Case in point: It ends with yet another dog being obsessed with trees for some reason. Overall, this short isn’t very good. (4.5/10)
306. Bedtime for Sniffles (MM):
Sniffles tries to stay awake in order to see Santa on Christmas Eve, and a bunch of simple jokes take place where he tries to stay awake. I personally felt that this short tried a little too hard to be “cute” and it took a little bit away from it. Especially towards the beginning. But, there is a lot of creative set design inside of Sniffles’ house, and the jokes are really genuine at times. I can’t really rag on it too much, it’s just not the best I’ve seen out of the character. (6/10)
307. Porky’s Hired Hand:
Porky’s Hens have been being stolen by a fox, so he hires an incompetent fool to watch over them for him, ultimately, the fox winds up tricking the fool and getting himself trapped in an incubator room. I didn’t really think this short was anything special. There weren’t any gags that were particularly funny, and it all just felt sort of dull. I don’t have much to say about it. (4/10)
308. Of Fox and Hounds (MM):
I’ve never really read or am familiar with the plot of “Of Mice and Men” but, I know the slowwitted “George” lines are meant to be a big part of it, which this includes many times, and the title references it as well. I don’t believe however that this is a direct parody of the work, but more of a short that uses a few of the same types of characters (the dullwitted character is a dog here named Willoughby (who will appear in future shorts), and the “George” is a fox.)
It’s also interesting that the short is the 2nd in a row where a slow character is outwitted by a fox. Sadly, much like the previous short, a lot of it doesn’t work, and the slowwittedness just serves to slow the short down. It also doesn’t help that 3 minutes of the short runtime is taken up by the same minute long joke on repeat (it was kinda funny he first two times...admittedly) complete with recycled animation.
The aforementioned gag really cheapens the short, and it really speaks for the short as a whole. I really don’t think it did all that great of a job, and really just follows the “hunter” short plot I’ve mentioned a bunch already. Not great, but kind of interesting to look at in someways? I guess? (5/10)
309. The Timid Toreador:
You just know there’s got to be offensive caricatures if it takes place in a country that doesn’t primarily have a white population. This time it takes place in Mexico, and there are stereotypes aplenty, while Porky Pig sells Tamales to the beat of “La Cookaracha.” Oh, and there’s a bull fight going on as well that Porky eventually wanders into...and yeah, this one doesn’t really have much going for it. It’s dull and uneven at many parts. Watchable, but just barely. (5/10)
310. Shop, Look and Listen (MM):
LAST OF 1940! A sequel sort of short to “Little Blabbermouse” from earlier in the year. Sadly, it’s nowhere near as good as the first short. The short is pretty much exactly the same with the W.C. Fields mouse giving a tour. The problem is that the focus isn’t really on him (which worked well last time), but rather the stuff that he shows off. The imbalance really hurts the short quite a bit, and it feels like a cheap knock off of the original without any of the charm. In a way, it’s TOO familiar. (5/10)
