Little Lulu, Gandy Goose, Woody Woodpecker, Donald Duck, and Bugs Bunny make the team this week.
Several double-headers on the schedule today – two games for Popeye, and two games for Bugs Bunny.
Multiple cartoon-conscious visits with Warner Brothers, another with Droopy at MGM, and one-shots from the waning days of Columbia/Screen Gems.

While it isn’t the funniest of the series, it’s beautifully designed and animated with a great score – and Dutch subtitles!
It’s a charming cartoon, well-designed and executed. And Little Lulu’s mischief making gags are pretty fun.
We’ll cover more titles than usual this week, due to several containing only rather short sequences of direct relevance to these articles.
The timing, gags with a jazzy score keep this cartoon moving right along in this 35mm print.
