Enjoyment: I understand this is a remake of a black-and-white Porky cartoon. If I'd seen that one, I might not rate this one so highly, but who knows. As it is, of the cartoons represented in the comprehensive "Golden Collection," this one clearly marks the beginning of Looney Tunes' greatness. It's the template for half the cartoons they ever make, and it's copied for good reason. A

GPA: 2.8/4
