Does Story Matter More Than Animation?
If you lived in the 60s, what would see? No doubt racism, but what on the television? Looney Tunes and Mickey Mouse were still on the air, plus there were other good cartoons as well. Betty Boop and Felix Cat were two good alternatives (And I'll review them later!). Those cartoons were good in animation, yet sometimes lacking in plot. And in the already large group of animation classics, there arrived one little unpolished gem for people to enjoy. It was called Clutch Cargo, and it would leave an impact on the animation industry, for better or worse. The show featured an author and pilot named Clutch Cargo. He was sent around the world on dangerous missions, along with his ward, Spinner, and his dog, Paddlefoot. Other than that there was no real true plot. Someone in danger would send for Clutch, he help them, and in the end, all would be safe. Taking just one look at this show, it killed my excitement to watch it. The animation was undeniably lame, and the people's mouths look horrifying! Immediately I turned it off and didn't look at it again. Finally my curiosity won over and I took another look at the show. Beneath the 100% terrible graphics, and awful voice acting, I found one glimmer of hope. The plot in the show was repetitive at best, but they were so imaginative. The one thing that kept me alive in the viewing of this show was the cool stories that were very fun to enjoy. So, with this one pro in a vast sea of cons, and I have to give it 1 out of 5. Clutch Cargo is an imaginative cartoon that is down trodden by terrible visuals and voices. It raises the question, "What is better, animation or plot?"
