Apparently, the first of a series of shorts of a forgotten Terrytoon character, whose creation is apparently attributed to Ralph Bakshi, legendary director of many raunchy, controversial animated films (Such as Fritz the Cat, Heavy Traffic or Coonskin)
That said, anybody expecting to find here any of the usual elements from Bakshi's ouvre will be bitterly disappointed, since this is basically a generic 60s cartoon aimed at kids. This is a very early gig for him as director, predating even the creation of his superhero parody The Mighty Heroes.
That said, I didn't find to be as bad as the other reviewer claimed. It might be very dated, but it does has some vintage charm. A couple of elements from it make me chuckle a bit (Such as the secretary character looking like a scribble made by a little kid and walking as if she was a South Park character)
All things considered, I do think this is better than the ugly and nonsensical Christmas in Tattertown.
