#34 APEX Cartoon Props & Novelties
Season 1, Episode 7a
We have a cartoon created Larry Huber, whose other project he co-worked on "ChalkZone" was the lucky one to get a few shorts and a full series. Let's take a look at a solo work he did.
You know the Acme company that supplies Will-e Coyote with his stuff that doesn't seem to work out for him? This is a short about a company like that called as the title says APEX Cartoon Props & Novelties, which helps cartoon characters get rid of villains that bother them. A fox and opossum are cartoon villains who don't like the company. They decide to go on a tour to stop the company.
What is funny is the things the company makes that takes all the stuff you've seen in cartoons like the fake wall that characters run into, it even does the joke of how sometimes one can run into one too. Then some gag doors, getting runover by a train. There's lots of anvils.
The fox and opossum don't have the best time a and then even get exploded. I will say that this one doesn't have a lot to write about of what's going on, it's more an endless amount of classic cartoon gags all stuffed together in a short amount of time. It's things you'd see in classic cartoons though slightly toned down because 90's. The main characters are not really interesting even as villains there's not much to them. It's not really anything too funny either.
The concept of a store that helps characters with villains and pests is an interesting one and could make for an interesting series. Here it was more like a cartoon commercial with some gags thrown in then even a looped back around start. It's not a strong short, not awful though.
That's it for now, tune in next time, when we send a package to some road runner.
