I guess Harry Cohn jsut wasn't ready to keep up with the times. Columbia didn't release their first color feature until 1943. 1946's Jolson Story was the first one I can remember

I thought the kangaroo sounded like Stan Freberg.

The ending is Tex Avery's "King Size Canary" in reverse!

Stupid! There aren't Ostrichs in Australia. Typical insular American crap.

@natethefighter Yeah, it's like a cartoon from the early 30's...

Man, 1946 and still in black and white.... Columbia must have had the lowest budgeted cartoon studio at the time.

@jgbennie Thank you!

@deadlyshoesalesman Mather's the hunter. He used similar voices at MGM.

Thanks for information. IMDb credits Freberg with the kangaroo. Did Jack Mather play the other two characters - Fuzzy Wuzzy and the ostrich?

stereotypically drawn black guy whose behavior is not stereotypical...can kick ass, control the situation, escape from danger using wits and is stands up to the threat with courage.
