This short was deservedly nominated for an Academy Award and is an excellent effort. The Hubleys teamed up well with Gary Trudeau. They were able to take the comic strip characters and animate them while still making a cartoon that was recognizably a Hubley cartoon. This was the last thing John Hubley finished before his death. Trudeau and the Hubleys meshed together quite well and it is unfortunate that they didn't get an opportunity to do more as a team. Worth the effort to locate. Most Highly Recommended.
