The Old Bull (1932)
7/10
Zasu Pitts steals the show yet once again
4 July 2013
Todd and Pitts are a good team whose characters nicely complement one another. As usual, it's Pitts that provides most of the laughs. In this one, Pitts' shoe catches on the gas pedal of their car and they careen across the country side finally crashing through a barn. The understandably angry farmer confiscates their car to help pay for the damages and the two are sent on their way. Instead of walking to the nearest town they inadvertently walk in a circle and end up back at the farm. They hear on the farmer's radio that a lion has escaped from the circus and become disparate to get their car back. Pitts tussles with some pigs and a duck and there's general wacky mayhem. And, of course, they get to meet the lion face to face. At the start of the short there is some pretty poor back screen projection but this can be forgiven because it is followed by a lot of laughs. Another funny short from Pitts and Todd.
