THE NIFTY NINETIES (Theatrical Release USA 1941)

 

Ben Meyers’ Rating: 4.2|5.0 Starsìììì

The Nifty Nineties—cute and honest—fully illustrates what entertainment needs to encourage. WOW! This is a wonderful short film. It has a perfect, light conclusion and quickly assigns itself to the great animated film for child/adult share category. Watch for nice cameos of Goofy, Donald, Daisy, Huey, Dewey, and Louie. This short film features at the beginning of the Pollyanna movie DVD.
