The last theatrically released Krazy Kat cartoon is a good, if standard cartoon from the directing team that had been doing them since the late 1920s. My only real cavil is that, except for Krazy's ribbon, it bears no relationship to Herriman's cartoon -- but then it hadn't since the Teens. This was the end of the line for Krazy, as well as producer Charles Mintz.
Krazy, voiced as a burlesque comic, is called in by a housewife who looks like Goofy in drag, to get rid of a mouse and the usual comic incidents ensue. The gags are well-timed and funny, the visuals are very good, but by this point Krazy had no real character nor point and Columbia, which was the distributor, was looking for a new producer. Tashlin would be called in the following year, but it would not be until 1945, when the UPA team began releasing through the company, that its cartoons would attain any permanent distinction.
