Phantom of the Horse Opera (1961)
Phantom of the Horse Opera Review
Phantom of the Horse Opera is a 1961 animated short film from the Woody Woodpecker series. It is a fine flick.
In the ghost town of Spooksville, Arizona, Woody Woodpecker tangles with an outlaw who disguises himself as a ghost to scare Woody away. This cartoon had nothing to do with The Phantom of the Opera. It’s just titled that way. Instead, it is another western and I am getting sick and tired of these personally.
With that being said, this one worked more often than not due to a solidly utilized premise and a couple of solid moments throughout. I liked the characters quite a bit and the scenarios are amusing overall. I just wished that Woody was present more as he was quite sidelined here.
