Jack and Old Mac is a cartoon that won't please everybody but it is not a cartoon that will or should be universally hated. To me, it was interesting and well-done. If anything though from personal tastes the animation was the kind that most of the time it worked but others where it doesn't quite. It's in an abstract and stylised style of drawing, a style that takes some getting used to but it is also a style that will fascinate. It does look flat and blocky in places but a vast majority of the time it's colourful and stylish. The jazz arrangements are very clever and make both nursery rhymes very catchy, the orchestration sounds great and is particularly rousing in Old MacDonald. The singing is very characteristic of that of the singing in the Disney cartoons of this time, which is a good thing because it's a lovely and beautifully harmonised sound. The humour is in the sound effects and visuals and is done very well, the sound effects are not bizarre in the slightest and don't distort the music at all while the cartoon does a great job in keeping the gags and visuals varied for two nursery rhymes that are heavily reliant on repetition. Both The House that Jack Built and Old MacDonald segments are funny and visually interesting, Old MacDonald is a little more zippy in pace than House that Jack Built is but not by much. Neither segment that form Jack and Old Mac have much plot, then again the nursery rhymes don't really either, Old MacDonald is literally just introducing new things repeated. The characters visually match the animation style really well and are not bland. In conclusion, not for all but personally it was very interesting and well-done once you get used to the animation. 8/10 Bethany Cox
