Not really a movie, more of a documentary. A really playful way of showing what happens in creating an animated movie at that time.

Honestly a lot better than I thought it was going to be. Had never heard of this before watching it but loved seeing the behind the scenes of animation in the 1940s. The animations themselves were pretty weak tbh, I enjoyed the live action portions more
