A tawdry tale of a Peckish Heiress . . .
6 May 2015
Warning: Spoilers
. . . with THREE concurrent fiancés and a molesting kidnapper, DOVER BOYS may NOT be suitable for younger viewers. Possession might usually be "nine-tenths of the law," but the quartet holding "Dora Standpipe" for most of this animated short end up losing her to a guy old enough to be everyone's grandpa (and a ringer for Hugh Heffner, as well). This geezer is the "strong, silent type," which suits Ms. Standpipe to a T, as she prefers to do all the talking, totally oblivious to anyone else in the room. The Ancient Gent's only pastime is aimless strolling, looking for winning lottery tickets blowing in the breeze. His Life Style will dovetail perfectly with that of Dora and her fellow One Per Centers. Since Dora's old-timer lacks even an ounce of Situational Awareness, she'll be able to have as many irons in her fire as she pleases. As there was no reason to "pull" for anyone among the "losing" quartet, this may be a case of "all's well that ends well." Alternatively, you could call this a case of "Girls Just Want to Have Fun."
