IMHO, it actually works somewhat better than The Adventures of Baron Munchausen, although Terry Gilliam's film, which was directly inspired by this version, gets off to a more rousing start in my estimation. The 1943 UFA release actually has several interesting twists not contemplated in the latter version with much more of a dark fantasy flavor (i.e., w/o the unfortunate campiness of Robin Williams over-the-top man in the moon performance).
