Featured review
Apparently, clothes DO make the man.
"The Girl at the Ironing Board" is very typical of the early Looney Tunes cartoons. It has great black & white* animation and LOTS of singing. Many cartoons of the day featured a lot of singing and dancing...which is why these cartoons don't hold up as well as the more comedically minded cartoons of the 1940s and 50s.
The short is set at a laundry. Soon after closing for the night, folks drop their clothing off through a night deposit window...and the clothes come to life and begin acting out a Dudley Dooright/Snidely Whiplash sort of fight over a girl's set of clothes. It's all quite strange...even by cartoon standards.
So is it good? Well, it's pretty much a one-gag cartoon....well animated but pretty dull.
*The only true full-color cartoons of the period were made by Disney. While a few studios (including Looney Tunes) experimented with color, they were forced to use the inferior two-color process film (like Cinecolor) because Disney signed an exclusive contract with Technicolor to use their new three-color film...which gave a fuller and true color look to the cartoons.
