Old King Cole

A vastly underwhelming affair that isn't particularly pleasantly animated, filled with memorable music or gags that last long in the imagination. Really, it's more of a cutesy idea with poor execution than anything else. Old King Cole is throwing a wild party and all of the characters from Mother Goose's popular rhymes and stories make at least quick cameo appearances. They sing and dance for seven minutes straight and that's pretty much all there is to it. A brief warning though, characters not only appear briefly in blackface (some of the little old lady who lived in a shoe's kids to be exact), but there's an extended sequence in which gross stereotypes about Native American culture and identity gets extended air time. It's an ugly reminder of what used to fly in polite society back in the day.
