Clever Ending Makes Film
by Michael_Elliott2012-11-06

"Christopher Crumpet (1953) ** 1/2 (out of 4) Clever UPA short has an artist telling his dog the story of a little boy wanting a rocket ship from his father but when he doesn't get it he decides to turn into a chicken. The father brings home a doctor who doesn't believe his story until he sees it for himself and then others are brought in to see what's going on. CHRISTOPHER CRUMPET isn't the best animated short you're going to see but I think there are enough clever moments to make it worth watching. I must admit that I really didn't care for the animation here..."
