Viva Willie

The Willie Woppers are among the most circulated of the Iwerks animations and they are representative of his work and indeed of the independent cartoons of the thirties - always an agreeable break in a first half of the show but less than brilliant. The Disney work blew away the opposition, showing a whole lot more man hours and often innovating.

Willie wasn't a particularly endearing character but his tall tale adventures were fun. This one is pretty simple. Insutin' the Sultan is more lively. Still our hero battling bandidos to the strains of "last Roundup" fills in the time nicely.
