The Duck Hunt (1932)
7/10
Still a lot of fun 80 years later.
29 April 2012
This is an interesting cartoon because it exists in two versions--the original black & white and a colorized version released decades later. While I am NOT a fan of colorizing (and thank goodness the fad died out), it doesn't look too bad on old cartoons. However, it's easy to tell which version is colorized, as the colors tend to be in pastel shades and less of the more traditional primary colors actually used in the early to mid 1930s.

The summary to this cartoon pretty much explains the entire cartoon, so my summarizing it here makes little sense. The bottom line is that Mickey and Pluto go duck hunting and have a lot of adventures. The quality of the animation is, like all Disney films of the era, clearly better than the competition. And, most importantly, this one is fun and works about as well today as when it debuted 80 years ago. Well worth seeing.
