Magical Maestro (1952)
Directed by Tex Avery
this is a short animated film which features “Largo al factotum”
from The Barber of Seville. After being rejected for being the
opening act for a famous opera singer a magician has his revenge
during the opera singer's act.
This is a timelessly
funny cartoon right up to the point it starts to rely on racial
stereotypes for humour and then it instantly becomes dated. I would
not say this is one of my all time favourite cartoons but if you can
look past the racism it is entertaining. The animation is good but
nothing which sets it apart from the cartoons of it's time.
3/5
