Synopsis

This one has lots of what Terrytoons are notorious for: cycles! And cycles of the commonest kind: ants harvesting and a baby factory! It also has a voluptuous Queen Ant and a sweetly delivered punchline which may make it worth your trouble. Withheld from television release; presumably because it leaves too many "birds-and-bees" questions unanswered for tiny tots (and their beleaguered parents).

ManiakJiggy This is How Movies Should Be Made
Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
Frances Chung Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
boblipton This Terrytoon from 1945 is most remarkable for the amount of looping that goes on. I'd estimate that you could cut out a third of the movie without losing a single shot.Looping -- that's when an action sequence is repeated -- is a long-time economy measure and one much in favor at Paul Terry's cartoon studio. You can have the in-betweeners painstakingly redraw a sequence to give it that sense of reality or you can simply print the sequence twice or more. It's a lot cheaper to do the latter and spend the money, instead, on making the details of the looped sequence richer, with more ants and more elaborate background work.That's what director Mannie Davis has done with this script about ants. In doing so, he has made the looping its own joke and part of the ants' natures. It's very clever and I might award this a higher score for that -- self-mockery is a worthwhile joke -- except that I've seen too much Terrytoon looping and can't enjoy the joke. So this is an okay cartoon with some nice jokes, but nothing special.
