However, ever since I first saw this cartoon I've felt that it doesn't look like a Disney cartoon. Sure the backgrounds have that rich feel of the early features and other late Sillies, but the characters don't like Disney characters to me. some of them look like Fleischer characters, but not good ones. Now I don't have a problem with Disney trying different styles, but I personally really hate the character designs in this. I find the main moth leads particularly ugly to watch and it spoils my enjoyment of the film a great deal.<br /><br />I disagree that the Sillies should end because of the strong characters in the regular Mickey and Donald series. I think it's healthy that the artists at Disney continued to try out new things and explore different styles. This one offers some splendid fire and lighting effects unlike others we have seen before (the fire displays a much greater burning intensity than the flames we saw in Snow White). However, the ugly characters who are uninteresting in personality anyway (plus some of the animation of them isn't too great either) in this one really puts me off.Machttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17701967442508380462noreply@blogger.com
