Scrappy (1930s)

Scrappy is a 1930s theatrical cartoon series that focuses on a little round-headed boy named Scrappy who often found himself involved in off-beat neighborhood adventures. Usually paired with his little brother Oopy (originally Vontzy), Scrappy also had an on-again, off-again girlfriend named Margy and a Scotty dog named Yippy. In later shorts, the annoying little girl Brat and pesky pet Petey Parrot also appeared. The shorts were produced by Charles Mintz's Screen Gems (which was distributed by Columbia Pictures).

Why It's A Scrappy (no pun intended)

 * 1) The cartoon was nothing more than a Mickey Mouse wannabe.
 * 2) The voice acting is mediocre at best.
 * 3) Scrappy is a very unlikeable protagonist due to how bland he is and how he can be mean towards other characters, especially Oopy in "The Little Pest".
 * 4) *In said short, Scrappy tries to drown Oopy, twice.
 * 5) Some of these shorts had bad and/or rushed endings.
 * 6) Characters like Oopy, Brat, and Perry Parrot are also unlikeable as well.
 * 7) In "The Black Sheep", Scrappy and the white sheep flock disown a black sheep which may allude to racism.
 * 8) Some of the gags are weak at best.
 * 9) In "The Dog Snatcher", Scrappy tears off a dog's skin until it's nothing but a skeleton, which counts as animal abuse.
 * 10) In “Let’s Ring Doorbells”, Scrappy and Oopy go ding-dong ditching, which today is considered a criminal offense! Even the butterfly knows it was a bad idea to begin with.
 * 11) In "The Little Pest", Scrappy drowns his younger brother, which is considered animal abuse!

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) Has some good cartoons such as "Yelp Wanted", "The Clock Goes Round and Round" and "Holiday Land" (his first color cartoon).
 * 2) The character designs can be pure adorable.
 * 3) The Disney-style animation and the soundtrack (especially the theme music) are passable.
