cricket30 Review of Monkey Melodies

Monkey Melodies (1930)

When the Good Book first hit the bestseller chart . . .

[6/10 · 12 October 2021]

. . . it succeeded in part because no one had to inform its Author that characters had to be consistent to be credible. Job could not be a constant complainer one minute, and a fawning sycophant the next. However, when the producer of MONKEY MELODIES hired nine different dudes to draw his primates, he did not think to tell them anything about how the title characters should look. That's why these chimps are virtual stick figures one instant, and then immediately morph into overweight fluff balls. You might expect this sort of colossal goof from a newly-hired manager his first day on the job, but NOT from a bozo in the business for a decade with several hundred animations circulating among an undiscerning, gullible, too-easy-to-please Public.
