Plot
The city of Anyburg decides its traffic situation has gotten out of hand, so it puts the automobile on trial. The trial (conducted in rhyme) starts with a car that was in a hit-and-run accident, followed by a sports car whose sins are peeling rubber and general hot-rodding, followed by a heap, on trial for lack of safety.
Sinekatalog’s take
A cartoon that puts the automobile on trial in rhyme, with reckless drivers and dangerous cars as the accused. It is a safety lesson wrapped in witty mid-century design. Delightful as a period piece and a good fit for fans of classic animated shorts.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
