Digiview: Cartoon Craze No. 19
Porky Pig: Porky`s Cafe`

These are licensed cartoons not public domain. There is a better care taken with the quality of the films. Most of the cartoons are Looney Tunes in glorious original black and white. No muddy 1972 slap dab color job here folks, thank you very much.

It is so great to have good copies in black and white finally. I have good copies for the bad color and bad copies of the good black and white. . . You get the picture. $1 at WalMart

1. Porky`s Cafe`: B/W title toon, is a good clean transfer of a good print. Chuck Jones at his best. Loved the ant in the pan cake stick.

2. Porky`s Prize Pony: B/W has a good transfer from a clean print. Another Chuck Jones. Story okay but not his best. Enjoyable.

3. Ali-Baba Bound: B/W a Bob Clampett Porky cartoon. Minor screen noise and a small projector line. Current events have conspired to make the suicide bomber unfunny.

4. Confusions of a Nutzy Spy: B/W print is a little muddy, minor screen noise. Norm McCabe refreshing take on toons a little different from what we think of as Looney Tunes.

5. Pigs in Polka: COLOR (Merrie Melodies) Friz Freleng at his best. A telling of the 3 little pigs to classical music. Very clean transfer of a pristine print.

6. Joe Glow the Firefly: B/W Chuck Jones. Minor screen noise. Not the best story line.

7. Notes to You: B/W Minor scratches, Friz Freleng, not my favorite story line.

8. Gay Gaucho: B/W Van Beuren. Cleanest I have ever seen this cartoon and I have a number of copies on VHS and DVD. Great 30`s movement. The shocking see through skirt is a furries` dream.

9. The Booze Hangs High: B/W Harman Ising Bosko. Super clean transfer from a clean print. Minor projector line left middle. Opening and End titles intact. 30`s movement. Jazz age booze humor on a farm with drunk pigs. Lots of music and dancing.
