THE KARNIVAL KID (Theatrical Release USA 1929)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.3|5.0 Starsìììì

The Karnival Kid—terrific period piece that shows how well cartoons could tell their story in just a few minutes—shows the promise of the Disney team and gives a hint at where they were going to go. This short film takes little time for viewing and is well worth the effort.
