Featured review
Charming Fleischer cartoon
Hawaiian Birds may get a bit overly-serious at the end, compared to everything else before it, and like a fair few Fleischer cartoons(especially the moralist ones, Small Fry however is a notable exception of a cartoon that has a great moral and story without being overly-sentimental) doesn't escape falling into sappiness. However, it is immensely charming stuff with typically outstanding animation, with the smooth backgrounds, easy movements and lush colours as well as the coolest-looking birds' nest you'll find in animation or anywhere.
It also has a music score that is both whimsical and lively, not to mention memorable, has a few amusing moments(though Hawaiian Birds admittedly doesn't have an awful lot of laughs) and the story is incredibly sweet and warm-hearted, even if it is sappy and rather slight it is difficult to resist the charm it has. The moral is not delivered too heavy-handedly and is easy to identify with while the bird characters are adorable and appropriately voiced.
Overall, Fleischer has done better but Hawaiian Birds has a lot of charm. 8/10 Bethany Cox
