Hellzapoppin'

genuinely momentous. I hope in a few years this cycles around and becomes what it deserves to be—talked about every single day. “live action looney tunes” is wildly overused but there’s no way this didn’t influence the next 30 odd years of cartoons! the gags are incredible, worthy of a 4 or 5 star rating on its own (there’s a citizen kane joke for god’s sake! in 1941!) and then they combine it with incredible dancing and music. the whitey’s lindy hoppers scene feels allegorical for the film, and it’s insanely fun at the same time. ahead of its time and we still haven’t caught up.
