Chuck Jones has made a lot of masterpieces, and while Much Ado About Nutting is not among them it is not one to scorn at. The ending did seem a little weak and too bizarre, but everything else was fine. It is a very beautifully drawn cartoon full of vibrant colour and very distinctive of Jones' style. The music is a perfect match to the visuals and gags in character and how appealingly orchestrated it is. Much Ado About Nutting is somewhat leisurely, but the clever gags and the way the simple story is told without any dialogue stop it from falling into the dull-trap. And you'd be hard pressed to find a more adorable animated squirrel, unique for Jones maybe not but irresistible yes. And this cuteness is done without feeling too much. In conclusion, sweet and amusing, not one of the master's best but one of his more underrated ones. 8/10 Bethany Cox
