Out of the Frying Pan and Into the Firing Line is another example of the Disney wartime shorts. They are interesting and worth the viewing though not perhaps your idea of entertaining. Out of the Frying Pan and Into the Firing Line is one of the better ones. Like most of the Disney wartime shorts, there is not much especially that you'd call entertaining, apart from when Pluto is paid in sausages rather than money. But also like them it makes for great historical value, with a message that is simple and well put across with no heavy-handedness. There is not what you call a story specifically, but it doesn't bore you and makes its point effectively, and it was a good idea to use Disney characters to do so. Minnie and Pluto are not one of their stronger characters, but they are still very engaging and are well-matched together. The animation is great, being crisply drawn with handsome colours, and the music is lively and appealingly orchestrated.
All in all, interesting and very nicely done. 8/10 Bethany Cox
