With almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Tailor-made for people who'll be humming afterwards and animal lovers. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top. An animal steals a fair few scenes.
- The mood
- Light and funny, feel-good.
- The pace
- Lively and easy to follow, at 8 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- No age rating on record, so check it first for young kids.
- Made in 1945: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if you can't get past animation (your loss).
Dangerous Dan McGoo (Droopy) faces the wolf, a dangerous outlaw who is trying to steal his girl Lou, during the Alaska gold rush. Loosely based on "The Shooting of Dan McGrew" by Robert W. Service.
