"Porky in Wackyland" (short), 1938. Porky Pig hunts the last of the dodos. Directed by Robert Clampett. Written by Warren Foster. Starring Mel Blanc.

Concept: 3/4 (Good)
Story: 1/4 (Bad)
Characters: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Dialog: 3/4 (Good)
Pacing: 4/4 (Great)
Cinematography: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Special effects/design: 4/4 (Great)
Acting: 3/4 (Good)
Music: 4/4 (Great)
Subjective Rating: 9/10 (One of my favorites, 4/4 5/4). Surreal silliness and visual gags of the best kind. One of the things I really like about this cartoon is how menacing Wackyland is; the Looney Tunes world is never what you would call a safe place, but these creatures would really have fun doing horrible things to you.
Objective Rating (Average): 3.0/4 (Good) 3.1/4 (Very good)
