Definitely deviates from a typical Laurel and Hardy film, but in a good way. It's nice to see fantastical elements incorporated into the story. Other characters play a more prominent role in this film, as compared to typical Laurel and Hardy films. Laurel and Hardy's mission is more to help other people, rather than getting themselves out of a mess.
