I keep running into cartoons that I have never seen before. This is a Norm McCabe-directed short featuring a kangaroo and a couple of Scottish rabbits. If not for a few interesting camera angles, the first half of this is entirely disposable. But then when the rabbits set up a Wile E. Coyote style contraption that launches the kangaroo into the air, things get wild. The whole short turns into a crazy WWII action sequence with the kangaroo inadvertently bombing Tokyo. There were some interesting backgrounds which would have been more noticable if the cartoon weren't black and white. I ended up liking this despite the slow start and the fact that the kangaroo is a cheap copy of Disney's Goofy.
