One More Time (1931)
7/10
Foxy appears for one last time
28 February 2017
The third Foxy cartoon after 'Lady, Play Your Mandolin!' and 'Smile, Darn Ya Smile', 'One More Time' like those two is not great but still pretty good, and perhaps the best of the three.

Once again, 'One More Time's' story is limited, with a thin structure, little sense and is somewhat derivative. Some of the sound is slightly rough and not as crisp as it could have been even for an early cartoon.

Animation is uneven, the black and white is crisp and there are some lovely details, good flexibility and perspective visuals, but other parts are on the crude side like with the character designs.

However, much of the animation is not bad and generally it's the best-looking of the three Foxy cartoons. The music is suitably peppy and devilish, while there is a nice mix of amusing and dark moments. The most note-worthy example of the latter being a pretty ballsy ending, the one thing surprising about the story. Foxy is the most compelling and expressive of all three of his cartoons.

In summary, Foxy's last cartoon is a decent one. 7/10 Bethany Cox
