I’ve long thought that the Gandy Goose cartoons are underappreciated. They’re funny, well animated and have a great deal of variety. The early ones, in particular "Doomsday", have lavish production values. "Aladdin’s Lamp" is a typical wartime short featuring the duo, and it includes a great jitterbug dance sequence by Carlo Vinci. Vinci’s hand is evident throughout this short.
