Linkshoch Wonderful Movie

Btexxamar I like Black Panther, but I didn't like this movie.

Catangro After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

gavin6942 The story of a little boy who would only talk in sound effects. With story by Dr. Seuss (and Bill Scott of Rocky and Bullwinkle fame) this cartoon won the Oscar for best short subject (animated) for 1950.Some people seem to give this short a hard time. And I suppose the animation is not that incredibly amazing. But keep in mind this is 1950, making it one of the earliest (if not the first) Dr. Suess cartoon. And there is no denying the rhyme and story are quite original and clever.This is no Pixar or anything too deep. But worth checking out if you area fan of Dr. Suess, because this story gets overlooked compared to the Grinch or Cat in the Hat.

Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) This is a 7-minute animated short film which won a BAFTA and also the Oscar back in 1951 against competition from Mr. Magoo and Tom&Jerry. In the center of it is a little boy who does not speak, but makes artificially created noises instead, such as the sound of a locomotive. His parents are obviously very worried, but no doctor can help, no teacher can help and the contact with children of his age goes all kinds of wrong too. Until he finally finds his spot where his unique disability is appreciated. The film's director is Robert Cannon and he made a couple more short films with the character, but it gets old pretty quickly and the charm is gone then. Some more famous people from animated movies contributed to this film in different positions, such as Dr. Seuss, Bill Melendez and John Hubley. Worth a watch in my opinion, good short film and I also liked the animation style and colors.

Robert Reynolds This short, which won an Oscar, spawned two sequels and a TV cartoon show, has minimal animation but adelightful script (by Theodore Geisel aka Dr. Seuss) and aneven more memorable and enchanting main character. UPA pioneered a style of animation that even influenced Disney during the mid-1950s and produced some of the best animated shorts done in the late 1940s and the 1950s. This is on of their finest. God to have it in print. Highly recommended.

imimslim In my opinion, this is the best cartoon ever made. It has terrific animation and a charming story, it is witty and lively, and of course has a "moral" in that you don't have to be the same as everybody else to succeed as the title character ends up in a wonderful job, despite his "disability."
