LOONESSEY III: SMILE, DARNA YA', SMILE! (1931)

This is the stuff of nightmares, zany to a demoniacal degree. -- N.B. I typed those words while still watching the short. As it turned out in the last 10 seconds, the whole thing apparently was a dream. Features this terrifying cartoon creature that remains unidentifiable for the first several minutes (actually, I thought it was Mickey Mouse or a close knock off), before its tail suddenly identifies it as a sort of fox like the Tails of Sonic fame. Animation's not up to par even with the last two shorts.

The Scream. It's everywhere.
