cricket30 Review of The Little House

The Little House (1952)

I'm not sure how many cartoon versions of this story . . .

[8/10 · 31 October 2021]

. . . there actually are. I seem to remember that it was on the Captain Kangaroo VHS tapes at Grandma's house, along with Mulligan's Steam Shovel. The cartoon I remember seemed to have a more gradual build-up to the city encroaching upon the title domicile, including the steam rollers slowly advancing an asphalt roadway through the hill on which the small home sits. It also seemed less "jazzy," with more rounded images. This Dizzy version appears to be more jarring and jagged than the old Kangaroo tape rendition stuck in my memory. But Wikipedia does not recognize what I recall.
