With the Oscars coming up a few days from now, I thought I'd review some animated shorts that were nominated for that award for the year 1941 culminating in the winner. This was the first George Pal Puppetoon to get the nod. In this one, there are toy soldiers in formation of which one of them is in charge of bringing the cannon for a drill. That one soldier gets distracted by a girl figure skating while pulling his arsenal so they spend some time together. There's a few more things that go on but I'll just say that I liked most of it especially with the choice of music playing throughout. There's actually more than the usual five that were listed among the nominees for the Academy Award so I'll try to get to all of them before the ceremony begins next Sunday...
