I thought this was really cute and enjoyed the final short a lot. Wish the other shorts in the film were more interesting or just cut entirely. The live action and eponymous parts are so you need imo.

6.5/10 - I had a lot of fun watching this movie. The only problem was that I was excited for the payoff at the end, but it kind of fell flat in my opinion. But all in all, surprisingly enjoyable watch.

3.0 - overt racism/sexism aside this was a miss. May have been an ok recruitment material or explainer of early animation for young audiences. But most humor is weak, its very uneven, under features the most important jobs, & feels heavily falsified.
