The Sneezing Weasel Review

The Sneezing Weasel is a 1938 animated short film from the Merry Melodies series. It is such a derivative entry.

This was a perfectly competent short film, but the fact that it is so damn derivative hurt it tremendously. The animation is definitely very good with the character designs all being stellar. The action is solid and the film is quite a lot of fun to watch. As I said, perfectly solid and well made overall.

But the story and the action on screen are nothing short of unoriginal. This is basically their rendition of ‘Three Little Pigs’ as the weasel tries to break into the chickens’ house with the disguise as well. That story is always a lot of fun to watch, but in terms of originality, it is the worst offender yet from the series.

The Sneezing Weasel is very well made across the board and with good voice acting, but the story and action on screen are entirely unoriginal.
