Yeah, it's one of my favorite childhood movies. The "Worthless" musical number is pretty harrowing, too. The whole film has some surprisingly dark themes to it, considering its target audience.

Apparently there are more celebrity caricatures littered throughout the movie, but most of them went over my head. I guess they're just before my time. The ceiling lamp from the pawn shop scene (http://youtu.be/nOeK0Ig-H9g) is supposedly Peter Lorre, who I've only recently seen in Casablanca.

One of the great animated films I never saw. By that scene, it really seems to live up to hype.

It's such a charming, precious little movie. I didn't know there was any hype surrounding it; in fact I don't even know how well-known it is. But I could see how it could fit snugly in a list of animated cult classics.
