So Does This Cartoon

In the aftermath of the success of their first animated feature, GULLIVER'S TRAVELS, the Fleischers tried to spin off some of the characters into series. The annoying Gabby got a few cartoons, so did the spies, and in this one, the carrier pigeon the spies use is named 'Twinkletoes' and given a starring role.

Twinkletoes is working for an express company and is given the task of delivering a parrot to the royal palace. Unhappily, while competently done, it lacks the hallmark of the better Fleischer cartoons, a constant barrage of well-timed gags and asides to the audience. The result is decent, but of real interest only to completists.
