Room and Bored (1962)
Room and Bored Review
Room and Bored is a 1962 animated short film from the Woody Woodpecker series. It is a pretty weak cartoon.
Woody decides to make a home in a telephone pole where he encounters Smedley, a lineman determined to stop his company’s property from trespass. This lineman is a dog and I simply did not find this to be a good idea. A dog does not mix well with Woody, which was painfully obvious from the start.
The premise itself was fine and it had some potential, but the execution was off. The gags were not interesting at all. The animation is pretty good, but the energy was missing here and I wished that the plot was better and more memorable overall. The ending was also lackluster.
