Again, this is subjective, as a bunch of decision makers found pure big fat idiots to be something they wanted in their cartoons. And note that I find Disney's output on the whole to be the worst studio for the year; this doesn't mean I dislike every cartoon (although I dislike this cartoon as it is based on a pure idiot, and doesn't rise above it). There are several '39 Disney cartoons that I like more better than some cartoons from other studios in '39, but on the whole they are more boring and unfunny and long and drawn out than any other studio for the year.Tedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14783618617749580841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4917473912378530721.post-29564140543611456912012-04-19T10:19:43.707-04:002012-04-19T10:19:43.707-04:00Can you explain to me why big fat idiot cartoons g...Can you explain to me why big fat idiot cartoons generally suck? I don't understand.

"Merrily we roll along" becomes "Now we gently roll our dog." "I've never been so mortified in all my life" becomes "Enough of this, I'm ready to fight to get my hat."<br /><br />[Repost: fixed a typo.]ramapithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01751343744514656549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4917473912378530721.post-37730036564246529512010-05-19T01:00:24.643-04:002010-05-19T01:00:24.643-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.ramapithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01751343744514656549noreply@blogger.com
