Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Leoni Haney

Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

Being a movie buff, I thought this might be a fun cartoon, but it wasn't really much. The laughs were few and far between.The "history" begins with cave drawings of some men, and then with their legs moving fast. From there, we go to Fr. Roger Bacon who invents the pinhole camera in the 13th century, only to be banished to hell for his invention. I guess that was supposed to be funny.From there, it's on to France and Lumiere's premiere, and then to Hollywood with westerns as the feature attraction (at least in this cartoon.) The cartoon then takes a cheap shot at censors, followed by talkies, television and its impact in hurting cinema attendance, and then some goofy things about different shapes for TVs and movie screens. Apparently, they were making fun of various widescreen presentations in the theater so decided to exaggerate the point. As I said: this isn't much.
