Roman Punch

7.0 Roman Punch

1930, 5 m

Animation

This early Terrytoon looks like a variation of a football cartoon like PIGSKIN CAPERS in which we get to see critters on their way to the stadium, then the cheerleaders, then the game. The primary distinctions seem to be that the background art indicates random classical ruins and the sight gags are a little more grotesque -- "Santa Lucia" is performed with a squeaky voice and one mouse doffs his ears and the top of his head to a female mouse.
