The Lone Mountie is this quirky 1938 animated short featuring Krazy Kat, set against the vast backdrops of the Yukon. It's got a unique, almost whimsical tone, mixing humor with a bit of that classic slapstick animation style. The pacing is brisk, with a series of gags that keep things lively and engaging. What stands out is the practical effects, especially how they animate the snowy landscapes and the inventive use of color. The character performances, especially Krazy Kat’s, bring a certain charm that just feels of its time, making it a distinctive piece in the animation landscape of the late '30s.
The Lone Mountie is a lesser-known gem within the Krazy Kat collection, often overlooked by collectors focused on more mainstream titles. Its scarcity can be attributed to the limited releases during its time, making original prints quite hard to come by. As interest in vintage animation grows, this short might see a resurgence among those who appreciate the quirks of early cartooning.
