Rapsodia newyorkese

This is my second review of a cartoon nominated for an Academy Award for 1941 having previously done so for George Pal's Rhythm in the Ranks. It depicts a dog construction crew performing Franz Liszt's "Hungarian Rhopsody # 2" with their tools. Director Friz Freleng does the gags justice when done in tune here. That particular piece of music would appear in other cartoons over the years including Freleng's Rhopsody Rabbit starring Bugs Bunny. I thought the whole thing was hilarious from beginning to end. Freleng always knows how to make entertaining musical cartoons, that's for sure! So on that note, Rhapsody in Rivets is highly recommended.
