Manthast Absolutely amazing

Alasdair Orr Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Winifred The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

Hitchcoc I know that those who whine at political correctness would disagree. But while I appreciate the wonderful music and the creative animation, I just can't get past the portrayal of black people as gorillas with big white or red lips. They are shown as out of control, oversexed, and stupid. The sad thing is that there are so few black people seen in the cartoons of the time. There is a portion of this that takes place in a war zone. One should remember how these people were expected to give of themselves, even to die, for a country that saw them as less than human, ninety years after the emancipation proclamation. Yes, it's a cartoon, but it certainly doesn't do much to show respect.

epa101 I do not watch cartoons normally, but I genuinely enjoyed this. The music and rhymes are quite clever. Everything fits together to make an impressive production. The story is different enough from Snow White to avoid feeling like a rip-off. The racial stereotyping is extensive. It shocked me in a way but, in another way, I thought that it was not all that different from Dave Chapelle shows or gangsta rap films. I wondered to myself, "What if I did not know that the maker of this film was White or Black?" It is very strange how the stereotypes in this film are still used today by mainstream Black comedians and entertainers. However, the slogan of the Murder Inc. firm is definitely racist against the Japanese.

haildevilman This has got to be one of the best cartoons they refuse to show.Like 'Clean Pastures' is boat-loaded with black stereotypes talking in 40's jive. Unlike same, it's got no real positive message here. Unless you count the overabundance of patriotism.It's a re-telling (from 'Mammy' to 'baby' in the wraparound.) of the Snow white legend. The evil Queen was hoarding everything that was being rationed during the war. And of course Prince Chawmin' was a zoot suiter.The seven dwarfs were a bunch of night club dancer types, except for the one shuffling one. And watch for the quick anti-Japanese quip.Yes, it can be a tad racist. And the WWII humor is dated as hell. But still a lot of laughs to be had. That is as long as you aren't TOO sensitive.

maymad People, people....Robert Clampett's style was always OVER THE TOP!!! No matter what the subject was. It is clearly shown that the team did some extensive field research(music, extra talent from the local scene, etc.) and came up with a very sardonic- urban-hop (predating hip-hop!!! Take that!) short that is deliriously funny, fast-paced and definitely NOT for everyone(what is, anyway?). Unfortunately, all the "racial" stereotypes will detract some viewers (with no sense of humor, I'm guessing-hey , I'm a Hispanic and I'm a stereotype, but, I DO have a sense of humor and Tolerance , above all), these were other times and no harm was intended-except for the members of the "Axis" during the WWII years-and STILL, it was never hate that was expressed, but plain ridicule). Clampett is my all time favorite director, the zaniest and the one who took the most risks-kudos to him on this one. Taking into account that no big-major-conglomerate-company in their right mind would release this classic on DVD, the only source that I've ever seen it on is 1989 VHS "Uncensored cartoons", definitely OOP. I think that there might be some business in releasing all of these "Politically Incorrect"(WWII, Inki, etc.) WB shorts with very stern warnings on the cover("Mothers of prevention"?-thanks FZ); we shall see...hey , if I had a way to do it, I would! It would be great to see this in a nice restored print.
