It's up to Oswald the Lucky Rabbit to make sure the four-and-twenty blackbirds are in good shape for serving to the king. The dragon may interfere with that in this Walter Lantz cartoon.The muddled print I saw may have affected my judgment of this cartoon, but despite a clever ending, it looks like a middling effort, with lots of looping -- repetitious action that can be achieved by printing the same strip of film several times -- and that makes me think this one had either gone over budget or had its budget cut to make up with other, pricier cartoons from the Lantz factory. 1932 seems to have been a weak year for Oswald. Lantz was trying out new characters, such as Pooch the Pup and his staff may hae been distracted.v
