Accident Prevention Aboard Ship (2x11)

Data de estreia: Jan 01, 1951

Accident Prevention Aboard Ship (1951, 7:12) is much better, funnier and roundly informative and entertaining, though it’s another that gets lambasted by the commentary participants. Although it is a limitedly animated – if that’s the word – short when seen through their eyes, there’s no denying that this is a product of the time, done on a budget, and as successful as anyone could have hoped for given those circumstances. True that there is some unintentionally hilarious, dated safety film narration and situations, including some shocking ones that somehow feel astonishingly out of place in such an otherwise cheerfully toned cartoon, leading to a nervous laughter. The creative studio is unknown, even though it resembles the UPA style, but think of this as a Tex Avery comedy (“How To Have An Accident In The Navy”?) and you’ll have a blast!
