3/10
A good idea that ends up preachy and stiff.

Mary Queen of Scots Little Jack Horner London Bridge

The idea of giving the history behind various nursery rhymes sounds like a great idea, this cartoon certainly isn't something I'd like to see every again. That's because the script is so very dull and the narrator's delivery is even duller. As for the artwork, it's a far cry from the great artwork of the 30s and 40s and barely looks like something you'd expect from the great Disney Studio. I can't see kids or adults enjoying this film.

The nursery rhymes all have a strong root in British history--and I assume they must have deliberately chosen this. They include Little Jack Horner (who was a servant of Henry VIII), Mary, Mary Quite Contrary (about Mary, Queen of Scots) and London Bridge is Falling Down. While some of the information is interesting, most of it isn't and sound like a dull lecture--and completely lacks comedy or joy. You know it's bad when the funniest portion involves London catching fire!!

Tedious to watch and lacking fun.
