Kailansorac Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Marva-nova Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

TheLittleSongbird Love animation, it was a big part of my life as a child, particularly Disney, Looney Tunes and Tom and Jerry, and still love it whether it's film, television or cartoons.Also have much admiration for Tex Avery, an animation genius whose best cartoons are animated masterpieces and some of the best he ever did. 'Little Johnny Jet' is not one of his best, animation limitations show in some of the backgrounds and it lacks the imagination and hilarity of his best work. It is nonetheless a very nicely done cartoon with a good deal to like, managing to make a story about an aeroplane family entertaining, endearing and full of human emotion which can't have been an easy thing to do but was achieved.'Little Johnny Jet' for much of the length is very amusing, and perhaps funnier than 'One Cab's Family', and then without feeling disjointed has a more dramatic second half that has excitement and pathos.The characters are very engaging and easy to like and the voice work is wonderful from Daws Butler.Expectedly, Avery fares very strongly in the directing, even if other cartoons show off his unique wild and wacky style more.Some limited backgrounds aside, the animation is colourful and expressive. The music is lushly and cleverly orchestrated, with lively and energetic rhythms and fits very well indeed, a lot of the action is even enhanced by the music.In summation, very nicely done but Avery is not at his best. 8/10 Bethany Cox

slymusic "Little Johnny Jet" is a fine MGM cartoon produced by Fred Quimby and directed by Tex Avery. I never would have guessed you could make talking characters out of airplanes! John (wonderfully voiced by Daws Butler) is an old-fashioned airplane who goes ballistic at the mere thought of jets. His loving & patient wife Mary lets him know a baby is on the way. And guess what that baby turns out to be? A JET! My favorite scenes from "Little Johnny Jet": Mary spoon-feeds Junior and changes his diaper while he flies back & forth buzzing his dad. During the climactic race, director Tex Avery employs a plethora of sight gags: the Sphinx head shaved bald; the Statue of Liberty's undergarments; the thick smog cloud revealing the city of Los Angeles; the ocean liner transforming into a toy boat; and the jet streaks "Drink Zippy Cola" and "Burp!" "Little Johnny Jet" actually saves his papa's life, for which his parents are grateful and proud of him. But the story doesn't end there!

Robert Reynolds This cartoon was nominated for an Oscar, which is welcome although a bit puzzling, as this is a prototypical Tex Avery cartoon-take something ordinary, twist it in some odd or extraordinary way and fire sight gags at the audience for the bulk of the cartoon. Avery often gave inanimate objects human traits, as he does here and this is a marvelous cartoon, but he did at least a dozen that were as good or better that weren't nominated. Which proves that the Academy Awards process is as much chance as anything else. This shows on Cartoon Network often. Recommended
