Horrible.....Just Horrible

This was the first of three animated shorts featuring this parent-child burro team of "Hunky and kid "Spunky." I hope the next two are better than this one, because cartoon stunk!

There was very little, if anything funny, in here, just a "cute" and then almost-horrifying story as a gruff-looking miner steals the little burro who cries out desperately for "mommy" for about a minute or two. The mother, of course, comes to the rescue.

The noises the donkeys made was annoying, even their laughter. It was abrasive to one's ears.

Overall: a terrible cartoon. There's no other way to put it.
