Trolley Ahoy (1936)
** 1/2 (out of 4)
Mr. Bang, an obnoxious jerk, is upset that the trolley isn't on time so he goes to the conductor's home and begins to throw a fit. He then bets the old man $10 that he can't get to the station on time.
TROLLEY AHOY is the second film I've seen to feature the old conductor and it's certainly a minor step up in regards to entertainment. What really stands out about this movie is the quality of the animation, which looks extremely good. As with other films from Van Beuren Studios, this film looks terrific with some wonderful shots of the trolley in action and I loved the way the color is used. With that said, stories were never a strong point with Beuren but this one here manages to be entertaining thanks to the two leads as well as the wife.
