So I was at theatre to see Chaplin's "Modern Times", when the newsreel before the movie mention Disney ("Three Little Pigs", "Flowers and trees") is making this :
I don't know about you guys, but I don't think this daffy project will fly well. I mean - hour and half of animation? Won't people get blind from all the bright colors? Plus I can handle gags for seven minutes in a cartoon before the feature, but this is just insane. That 16 minutes Popeye/Sindbad flick was long enough for me.
If you ask me that Disney chap had lost his marbels! He should stick with just making them Mickey Mouse pictures! This will ruined the wolrd of animation as we know it!

Wow! Sounds good to me. It may be crazy, but I bet that Walt Disney can pull it off. The Silly Symphonies and Mickey Mouse Shorts have been improving by leaps and bounds, so maybe a feature length cartoon film is just crazy enough to work. Modern Times was quite a picture, too. You have to hand it to Charlie Chaplin. He's quite the talent.
Golly! What a fantastic notion! But maybe that Disney fellow can pull it off. We all thought it was crazy when he decided to put sound in cartoons, didn't we, and look how well that's gone over! Not to mention making that crazy duck popular. Who would ever've thought that would work out!

Yes, but I think the Tramp's days are over. I mean, here we are, seven or eight years into the sound era, and Chaplin is still making silents?! By now that cartoony slapstick stuff is feeling out of place anyway, replaced more than adequately by all those great Disney shorts. I'm sure in just a few years nobody will care about slapstick comedies anymore. Not even about Laurel and Hardy, who have already stopped making shorts, I hear. Of course, Disney doesn't make it easier for them at all, experimenting with feature-length cartoons for the future. I'm sure he is right on the money with this - as usual. I predict it'll be a huge success!
Hmm, maybe the Three Stooges will survive, because they talk a lot.
