Alice Chops the Suey (1925)
** 1/2 (out of 4)
Alice and Julius find themselves in Chinatown when a bad man kidnaps Alice and throws her into a bad. Julius must follow them and try to get his friend back before it's too late. ALICE CHOPS THE SUEY is best remembered because its opening sequence borrows what people saw in OUT OF THE INKWELL where a human hand is drawing the cartoon where it comes to life. It seems a lot of people really bash Walt Disney for this early sequence but I thought it was the highlight of the film. It was quite funny seeing a partially drawn Julius trying to get his other body parts so that he could move around. This leads to another good sequence where his skin is stolen and used for the bag to throw Alice in. The rest of the film is rather bland as the chase isn't all that exciting and there aren't enough laughs to keep it interesting.
