The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

After having a fun time watching Walt Disney's Alice's Orphan for a poll being held on IMDb's Classic Film board for the best titles of 1926,I was happy to see a number of short Disney titles being mentioned for the upcoming 1921 poll,which led to me getting ready to see Walt's laugh-O-gram.The plot:Walt Disney draws a picture of a man getting kicked out of Kanas City.View on the film:Filmed years before the Disney empire came into existence at Laugh- O-Gram Studios,Disney shows in this very rough style some small sign of what was to come,with the rather wacky appearance of the man getting kicked out of Kanas,which leads to this being a title that is worth cleaning up for.
