Watch Young and Healthy For Free

This is How Movies Should Be Made

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

. . . which Warner Bros. uses to warn We Americans of the (then) Far Future about the Advent of Rump. What better way to caricature a bloated geriatric billionaire bragging about being "the Fittest President Ever!" with the "Highest I.Q. Cabinet in History" and the "Biggest Inaugural Crowd Known to Man" (sounds a lot like Lake Woebegone, which was supposed to be hyperbolic satire) than to draw Rump as a morbidly obese round sick humbug? As always, Warner's Animated Shorts Seers division (aka, the Looney Tuners) are spot-on about the White House Joke whom Don Lemon's CNN Panel of Experts diagnosed as certifiably insane tonight. Just as Rump's Third Lady Melancholia and The Rump Kids, not to mention such sycophants as Pence, Spicer, and Conway are living in a State of Denial, King Louie's hen-pecking queen here, and the crooked Royal Dachshund (could be Tillerson, could be DeVos) feel obligated to out-crazy Louie by singing that they're all YOUNG AND HEALTHY (if not sane or responsible), too. This sad saga ends with Louie getting tumbled into Deep Water to become chum, with none of the sort of help Osama Bin Laden got from our Brave U.S. Navy SEALs. Let's hope Rump's demise is equally easy on us taxpayers as that here of King Louie.

This early Warner Brothers Cartoon decides that the perfect theme for the song "Young and Healthy" is to have a rotund king (Louis XVI, apparently) grumble about, slap around his Jimmy Durante Jack-in-the-Box, and scowl at his homely queen.The short looks like it might become interesting when the King brightens up upon seeing a group of poor children playing, and joins them, but even them nothing much comes of it. The King leads them into the palace, but never makes it up the stairs. (There's a LOT of stair climbing and falling in this cartoon.) Warner Brothers animation had not yet reached its era of greatness, but this was a poor effort by even their early standards.
