I wanted to stop it several times.<br /><br />I'm all for absurd humor, honestly. Monty Python, all that, hilarious. But this? This was actually warping my brain and I couldn't wait for it to be over. Seriously, every time I see the name "Van Beuren" in the credits I start to think twice before watching it.<br /><br />Meanwhile, I love Felix the Cat. The weirder the better. I don't know what it was with Sentinel Louey but I just plain hated it. I, honestly, couldn’t wait for this cartoon to end. I wanted to stop it several times.

I’m all for absurd humor, honestly. Monty Python, all that, hilarious. But this? This was actually warping my brain and I couldn’t wait for it to be over. Seriously, every time I see the name “Van Beuren” in the credits I start to think twice before watching it.

The lightly orchestrated music track with the odd soloist noodling around here and there really underscores that comparison. I'm thinkin' the two Sentinel Louie toons preceeded the Little King films. Louie's attitudes toward animals and battered women probably preclude much of a revival in the near future. Stone-age UPA — nice observation!

The second one, "A.M to P.M." is better paced, and the music more typical of the period, though still a notch above Van Beuren's average. They still did a very good job of keeping Soglow's style - much better & more consistent than in the Little King cartoons. "A.M to P.M." also introduces a bizarre supporting character, with his own theme song, "the mysterious Mr. Zoot." I don't think he was in the strips, but I haven't seen enough to be certain.

I have both Sentinel Louey cartoons, from Bosko Video. They were probably a big stretch for Van Beuren, what with the highly stylized characters, background, and, for this period, very strange music. To me, they have always looked like stone-age UPA.

And what glacial gags! What an odd style. And what glacial gags!
