Featured review
Not so happy Pinhead
While not one of my favourites, Ub Iwerks was responsible for a lot of interesting work. Especially when working with Walt Disney, his oldest friend and one of his best, and co-creating one of animation's most famous characters in Mickey Mouse. His career since opening his own studio had interest value but the quality was variable, often being successful in the animation and music but wanting in the story and variable in gags, lead characters and tone.
1933 to 1936 saw twenty five cartoons, mostly based on famous fairytales and familiar stories, as part of Iwerks's "ComiColor" series. The "ComiColor" series is very much worth watching and interesting, as is the case with many series some cartoons are better than others but there are no real animation nadirs. 1936's 'Happy Days' is a pretty good pleasant watch and a pretty good swansong for the series, with a few issues but a lot of big strengths.
'Happy Days', while faithfully adhering to the basic details of the story while putting its own spin, is slight and is at times a little too cutesy and gets at times silly.
However, 'Happy Days' in no way disgraces the story and has enough freshness to stop it from being stale. It avoids the over sentimental factor, while having traces of poignancy, and is never dull.
There are amusing gags, that aren't too corny and never repetitive, it's very charming, endearingly wild at times and there is a genuine likeability and cuteness. The characters drive 'Happy Days' well, with a very likeable main character who is also relatable to anybody who is regularly ridiculed and treated like an outcast.
Furthermore, the animation is great. Meticulously detailed, fluid in drawing, vibrant in colour and often rich in imagination and visual wit. The music is cleverly and lushly orchestrated, is infectiously catchy and adds a lot to the cartoon.
Overall, pretty good. 7/10 Bethany Cox
