Reviewer:Christine Hennig - - November 1, 2004 Subject: This Is a Story About a Boy, a Dog, and a Sign Language Interpreter... Somebody had the bright idea to revive a bunch of old Castle Films cartoons from the 40s and make them accessible for the deaf. So we have a cute, slightly scary cartoon about a boy and a dog and a mean father and the elf justice system, interrupted every few minutes by a perky sign language interpreter, who tries to explain things deaf children might not get. This cartoon is pretty weird to begin with, containing a truly frightening dad and a scary Youth Machine that turns him into a baby, but the sign language interpreter makes it even a weirder experience to watchsome of her facial expressions are priceless. This could be the cartoon on a film program featuring Deafulanow all we need are some sign language snack bar promos. Ratings: Camp/Humor Value: ***. Weirdness: ****. Historical Interest: ****. Overall Rating: ****.
