A charming children's fable with musical narration compares with what the other studios were producing at the time (Disney's "Silly Symphonies," or Warner's and Fleisher's color stories). The animation is impressive, the characters convincing, the story wholesome and sentimental. It makes one wonder why the studio didn't keep up in popularity. I guess Woody Woodpecker and Andy Panda simply weren't as endearing as Mickey Mouse, Bugs Bunny, or Betty Boop.
