An early film from the Fleischer studios using the Technicolor three-strip process which they had been previously restricted from using because of an exclusive deal between Disney and Technicolor that had expired a few months before, this is a great looking cartoon which manages to build to quite a suspenseful climax.
The story involves a cute little kid who's wild about trains and who keeps trying to run out of the garden when one flies past but is usually stopped from doing so by a lovable old dog. One day the kid gets out and winds up unconscious on the tracks with a locomotive on its way.
This one is worth watching for a short dream sequence alone which makes use of innovative 3D techniques to fashion memorable images - especially combined with a tracking shot. Even without the technical innovations the film is inventive and enjoyable and not to be missed if you get the chance to see it.
