Comments

From Baruch Weiss : Next to 'Motor Mania' this car toon would be a big hit in drivers ed, because it teaches how the nut's fun behind the wheel will come to a crashing end if he/she is not careful. I saw once in high school (I took drivers ed there) a disturbing video of a boy who was at a party and at the end was drunk. A friend offered to drive him home, but the boy refused the offer and crashed into a tree. In my opinion, this cartoon was okay, but weren't the 1950's late for cartoons to still be containing humanized objects?

I have seen "The Story of Anyburg, USA" and would like to
