Mistaking the bear essentials

The Ragtime Bear (1949)

Directed by John Hubley this cartoon is the first appearance of the character “Mr. Magoo”. An old man with sight problems has the classic problem of mistaking a bear for his banjo playing nephew.

Taking a simple situation and making it silly this is a fairly decent cartoon with some chuckles a long the way. Not as funny or surreal as some of it's competition involving better known studios this is still a decent watch. The animation is a crisp and clear style.


3/5
