Why use Henery Hawk again, McKimson? He should've stopped appearing after Henhouse Henery. He is very annoying, even more than Tweety, as for the cartoon itself, it's not the best Foghorn Leghorn cartoon, everyone aside from Foghorn Leghorn are unlikable, Why did IMDB rejected my previous reviews for this entry? It is terrible after all, I feel really bad for Foghorn Leghorn here, he was just doing what his wife told him to.

Foghorn Leghorn may not have been one of my favourite animated characters as a kid, but from an adult perspective I find him very entertaining and he is certainly one of Looney Tunes' most distinctive characters. The Eggcited Rooster is one of his better cartoons, if you want a story that is different from usual with Foghorn Leghorn you won't find it. But that doesn't really matter when the story is as well-paced and always fun as it is here. And yes there is some Indian stereotyping, but I for one didn't find anything to be particularly offended at, and it wasn't as if it was being blatantly used the entire time. Whatever reservations you might have, there is still much to enjoy. The animation is great, anybody who likes their colours vibrant, their backgrounds detailed and never sparse and their characters drawn well will not be disappointed at all with the animation of The Eggcited Rooster. The music always adds so much to the Looney Tunes cartoons, and it still does here. I always love with Looney Tunes how the lush orchestration meshes so well with every gag and every sound, and how there is a mix of recognisable tunes and music written especially, which is to heard wonderfully in the music of The Eggcited Rooster. There is some really genius writing as well, there is plenty of sharp wit and lines like "This boy is making more noise than a couple of skeletons on a tin roof!" are genuinely hilarious. Not just that, but there are also some imaginative sight gags, the best one- and the one that always cracks me up- is when the doghouse explodes and you see Barnyard Dog with a fried egg on his stomach. Mel Blanc was one of few voice actors to voice multiple characters in one cartoon alone and be consistent every time, and as you'd expect his voice work is stellar with plenty of energy, inspired dialogue delivery and verve. All in all, really funny stuff and one of my favourites from Foghorn. 9/10 Bethany Cox

Somehow, I say somehow the worst things always seem to befall Foghorn Leghorn. In "The EGGcited Rooster", he has to sit on his wife's egg and not leave it, or else. But when Henery Hawk - dressed as The Last of the Mo-hawk-ens - enters the fray, Foggy naturally sends him to harass Barnyard Dog. Guess what all ends up happening! Why did Foggy always have the worst luck? Who knows. The point is that his blustery attitude, and desire to play nasty tricks on Barnyard Dog, always get the better of him. And Henery's pride at being a chicken hawk - in this case, it means a chicken who eats other chickens, not a warmonger who never served in the army - always benefits him.

So it's a pretty funny cartoon, despite the stereotyping of Indians. As it's not available on any video or DVD that I know of (at least not yet), you can watch it on YouTube.
