Comments: The audio seems very mature (perhaps refined would be a better term) for Terry. The wolf is still kind of spineless as a villain, tho he has some good ideas; a clear pre-cursor to Ralph Wolf . Tho he is a wolf in bo peep's clothes... First he strips the lamb, then starts chasing it around. The character interaction has a more abstracted sensibility I associate with slightly later cartoons, fighting against its hackneyed rural setting. The pretty girl dog is a reasonable precursor to Terry's eventual leading mouse ladies. The wolf is self aware of the movie audience when stripping. It's a hard and ugly kiss given in the midst of the film, and a disturbingly trunk like kiss at the end. The fight clouds are almost sausagey, but do not maintain a shape; there are sectors of the fight cloud tho.
