We're in the Money Audience Reviews

Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Teringer An Exercise In Nonsense
Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
Horst in Translation ([email protected]) Legendary animator Rudolf Ising's "We're in the Money" is a 7-minute cartoon from 1933, so this one will have its 85th anniversary next year already. It is a Schlesinger production distributed by Warner Bros and this black-and-white animated short film is still from a time that may have counted already as the Golden Age of Animation, but not at its peak yet. It is a work we have here that is acceptable because these mediocre cartoons were needed to carve the path for the greatness about to come. It's Toy Story from soon a century ago. Toy stores and the toys coming to life was a premise they did on more occasions back then in animation. This one is not at all about fun really, but the focus is on experimenting with animation and even more so with sound really as the film's title is also a song used in this little movie. The fact that the term "in the money" is not really common today anymore also shows you how old this one is. It's really only worth seeing for the very biggest lovers of old cartoons. Everybody else can skip it without missing much. I give it a thumbs-down. Not recommended.
Edgar Allan Pooh . . . WE'RE IN THE MONEY, and listen to that haunting lyric, "We've never seen a headline about a breadline--Today." (To recap, that means we DID see a soup line yesterday, and expect to line up in the queue for drinking water tomorrow, but we found enough pennies in the sidewalk cracks to SKIP the breadline--and the breadline headlines--Today.) "What's a breadline?" those from totally sheltered backgrounds may be asking. It's America's Once and Future Fate. As Warner Bros.' live action feature HEROES FOR SALE documented the same decade that they released WE'RE IN THE MONEY, America's War Veterans got a tiny taste of breadlines--in which the Fat Cat One Per Centers scrape a few of the many crumbs off their plates for the starving American Majority when their Greed has made the whole nation as Bankrupt as Trump--in the 1930s. The Coming Deluge will make breadlines the norm, with Life as we Knew It ending. With the Fox "News" contingent of the U.S. Military set to cram Trump into the White House Win, Lose, or Withdraw, and the Presidential "Tie"-breaking American Supreme Court fiendishly sabotaged, the entire U.S. power\banking\water\sewage grid will collapse within a month of Trumpenstein Day. So you'd better memorize the lyrics to WE'RE IN THE MONEY now while you still have access to Electricity and Communication, and pray that the Trumpsters will have the Decency to revive Breadlines!
tavm This is one of three Merrie Melodies cartoons based on songs from Gold Diggers of 1933 that was included on that movie's DVD. This was a Harmon-Ising production and it has toys coming to life singing and playing the title song to amusing life though I laughed heartily when the carbon heads of Laurel & Hardy did some nonsense gibberish. The movements were pretty good especially when one of those human toys was playing on the xylophone with his feet. Oh, and the coins in the cash register with the presidential heads were also amusing when they were singing. Really, I was just charmed by the whole thing so on that note, We're in the Money is worth a look for anyone interested in these early talkie cartoons.
didi-5 The first few Merrie Melodies were not particularly original or inventive - the best years were yet to come - but this Harman/Ising production based around the Dubin/Warren tune from 'Gold Diggers of 1933' is OK.The basic premise surrounds a group of toys who start to walk, talk, sing and play instruments when the shop owner has gone to bed. In a blatant plug for the song (which Warners owned), toys, hats, and the like join together in chorus.The trouble is there were quite a few cartoons with the same plot, all using a song as a centre, and this is nothing new. As a historical document though, it has its interest.
