When Kirby Kelvin gets the giggles during a spelling test, stern Ms. Frost sends him to Mr. Gloomsmith for "Not-Laughing Lessons." Images of rusty bicycles and forgotten birthdays are supposed to subdue Kirby's good humor, but irrepressible Kirby puts an end to Mr. Gloomsmith's twenty-nine-year not-laughing streak. Animated caricatures and skewed perspectives help enliven the predictable story.
