Star-less dreams
There is no bias towards or against the Gandy/Sourpuss dream/nightmare cartoons. There is no bias towards or against their cartoons in general. And there is no bias towards or against the characters themselves. Some of the dream/nightmare cartoons in their series are well done, there are good cartoons of theirs though the series was starting to tire at this point and they worked much better as a pairing than expected. More often than not have liked the characters too, more so Sourpuss.
'It's All in the Stars' is really not a good representation of Gandy, Sourpuss or their cartoons however. It is one of the worst dream/nightmare cartoons in the series, even Gandy's solo cartoons following this formula did this better. Which is really surprising considering generally Terrytoons had taken big strides and Gandy compelled much more as a character when partnered with Sourpuss, so there was growth with him too, whereas 'It's All in the Stars' felt like this growth had not happened. It's one of their worst overall (not quite as much as the likes of 'Who's Who in the Jungle' though), and more than indicative that the series and this particular formula was losing its mojo. And it is a pretty bad representation of both Gandy and Sourpuss.
Before beginning with why 'It's All in the Stars' doesn't work, there are things that do save it from being a complete mess. Cannot fault the animation, full of vividly and beautifully designed landscapes, vibrant colour and drawing that showed how much Terrytoons' visuals had advanced over-time. Also cannot fault the music, which is even better and always redeemed the very bad Terrytoons cartoons (oh yes they did exist). The snappy character, lushness and how much it adds to the impact of what's going on in the animation is a joy to listen to and always has been.
Also thought that 'It's All in the Stars' started off quite well, with a visually striking and surprisingly informative opening sequence, warmly narrated. The dream-like parts sometimes displayed a nice charm.
Neither Gandy or Sourpuss are served particularly well here. Gandy's characterisation seems to have gone backwards and a return to the bland, unappealing Gandy of his late-30s solo cartoons, sad seeing as there were cartoons of his like 'The Exterminator' that did very well with his personality. Was expecting Sourpuss to fare better as he is the funnier and more interesting character to me generally, but the cartoon pretty much wastes him here, he has too little to work with and what he has, which is some of his dullest of the whole series, jars with what came before tonally.
Which is one of the biggest problems with 'It's All in the Stars'. After a very abrupt and uneasy gear change going into the nightmarish parts of the cartoon, things really fall apart and it's like we are watching a completely different cartoon. It is not nightmarish or wonderfully absurd enough and the material is not very engaging. Nothing is funny here, or even remotely amusing and that is when any effort is made to be so, and there is very little to sustain interest. The story is just too run-of-the-mill, with nothing new done with a concept that was quite old, and the pace doesn't really come to life.
Summing up, subpar is a good way to sum 'It's All in the Stars' up. 4/10
