Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined

Bergorks If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Delight Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

tavm Like the other reviewer pointed out, Walter Lantz is identified as the animator on this particular cartoon on YouTube. Happy Hooligan is on a park bench with another person when he gets offered a trip to the moon. Sounds absurd right now, right? Anyway, since this was way before the 1969 trip of those astronauts, Happy goes on a rocket that's shaped like the car convertible of the time and therefore has no worries of not getting any air when he gets there especially since the planet's inhabited in this version! When on this planet, he becomes king (unbelievable, right!) and falls for a ballerina before...Let me just say that if you didn't think this was possible before, you're right! Anyway, it's because of that ending that I sorta liked this cartoon despite not having much in the way of gags. So on that note, I say give this A Trip to the Moon a chance if you're an animation buff like I am.

boblipton This early example of animation in the Happy Hooligan series doesn't come with much information attached, although the source of the Youtube copy I saw attributes it to Walter Lantz.It's not much of a cartoon by modern standards: Happy speaks with someone in the park and takes a trip to the moon on a rocket that looks like the front half of a current racing car, where he is made king of the moon. A ballerina does a shimmy and Our Hero winds up back in the park being accosted by a cop. The inference is that he has fallen asleep and dreamed the entire trip.Visually there are some glosses on the famous 1902 Melies film and the animation is spiffy for the year this was made. However, this effect to the modern eye is .... well, it seems pretty pointless. It's of some interest for its position in animation history, but that's about it.
