The most famous of races

The Tortoise and the Hare (1935)

Directed by Wilfred Jackson this cartoon is based on Aesop's fable of the same name. Facing off in a big race it's a battle between the slow and steady versus the fast, show off.

Taking a familiar story this cartoon adds on some decent jokes and fills out a decent cartoon. The classic moral stays intact and works well with Disney's humour. While the animation is not a big stand out it is one of the early uses of cell animation and works well.


4/5
