The first paragraph explains the overall summary of the story and outcome. There was also a crossover in terms of how realistic the court hearing ended “is herself led away, as tradition demands, to jail.” This is something we do not always see in cartoons however within Rooty Toot Toot they show us how it connects with the real worlds law and justice system. If someone was to commit the same crime the likelihood is they would be taken off the jail. Therefore we feel mentioning that adds an element of reading between the lines.

They then expressed how “successful” and “enterprising” the cartoon was out of the ones seen by that group. This then lead on to stating the cartoon had “incisive wit and elegance”. The audience may agree’s with this not only for the fact that the cartoon was made in the fifties but also the characters, music, colour choice and design could be seen as very sophisticated, fictionally and non-fictionally.

The style of drawing is also mentioned, stating “emphasising detail rather than merely filling the screen”. As the audience can tell, the viewer had noticed the amount of detail put into the drawings, and the colours used to show different character. The audience may feel as though it is very important to mention drawing styles and colours within a review as colour and the unusual drawings can catch the eye of the viewer quite easily.

Terms such as “Clever Ballistic Movements” & “Sophisticated” are just some of many in which the person reviewing describe the cartoon – The audience may agree with those terms not just because they fit the cartoon in an obvious way but also the fact that for its time, the cartoon is more than relevant.
