It seems to me that animation always has never been able to combine comedy and pathos successfully too often; it always is done in a clunky fashion, as in too many animated features to name. The only two exceptions that come to mind are DUMBO and FEED THE KITTY.<br /><br />And while I disagree with his dismissal of BELOW ZERO, I'm sure Stan Laurel would have agreed with his negative assessment. Laurel was always negative over comedians trying to evoke 'something more' in their work, absolutely despising things of Chaplin's like THE GREAT DICTATOR.Thadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04443425643665474645noreply@blogger.com
