It is the custom of reporters filing reports of their observations under the above banner line to take the product apart, piece by piece, and deal as informatively as possible with each as a saleable or static item of box office merchandise.
But this custom was born of and thrives more or less ruggedly upon a product composed in prime or principal part of personalities, performances, human equations of this or that variety which have been added up expertly or otherwise to total a motion picture.

The other part to talk about is the Disney production of the first feature length motion picture in the cartoon medium, and there's more to talk about in that than any normal showman could possibly get around to.
