  • The person who disliked this is the guy Joe yelled goodnight to

  • Originally released in March 1941, with an "experimental" version of the "Looney Tunes" theme. This "public domain" print is a 1955 Guild Films TV print- after they bought the pre-1944 black & white "Looney Tunes" library, they refilmed the main title cards to eliminate the Warner Bros. logos (using a montage of Porky and other "funny animals", and a "Sunset Productions" copyright at the beginning, and a Guild Films credit at the end). The end title here is an earlier one used in 1939-'40.

  • It was the best of times - It was the worse of times. 1941 - Chuck Jones was creating fantastic illusions by way of cartoons while Hitler was destroying Europe and it's people.

  • @BadBooking This one is from the 12-DVD set called "Giant 600 Cartoon Collection" from Mill Creek. This is also the only WB cartoon included in the set except the opening and closing titles are completely cut off.

  • Not all cartoons have to be funny. A lot of Disney classics weren't really humorous at all, but they were still beautiful art and animation, still cool.

  • I actually like this cartoon in spite of everything. Yes, it's not funny but it has a certain charm to itself and it actually does the whole "small, cute character exploring world as he sees it" bit that Disney did better than Disney itself. This and "Good Night Elmer", while not recommended for those who watch WB cartoons for laughs, are shorts I can enjoy if I want to watch something just to appreciate fine animation.

    But I still like Jones' genuine "classics" far more than this.... ;-)

  • *bzzzzzzzz*

    ...

    GOOD NIGHT!!!

  • An early version of the fast paced "Merry Go Round Breakdown" in the first 10

    seconds. Maybe it got redone later.

  • Porky's snout looks different and creepy. mostly creepy...

  • Another Porky Pig Ripping Himself out of the Drum
