El papá de Porky

This Looney Tunes cartoon begins with a variation on the song "Old MacDonald's Farm"...but it's about Porky Pig's papa, who owns the farm. It seems that the family's cow is sick and so Papa orders a new cow...which turns out to be a robot cow! But Porky doesn't want to get rid of the cow and soon the cow and robot cow are competing.

This is a pleasant but otherwise unremarkable cartoon short. Well animated but not a ton of laughs.

By the way, in the cow's stall is a poster for 'Bull Bontana'...a cow. In real life, Bull Montana was a silent film star and professional wrestler.

Bob Clampett's cartoons often were high in energy and fun and displayed a uniquely wacky visual style that one can recognise immediately.

'Porky's Poppa' may not quite one of his masterpieces, but it is still a great cartoon that has Clampett's style all over it.

Carl Stalling's energetically high-voltage, luscious, rousing, dynamic and action-enhancing music score and inspired arrangements of pre-existing music shows off his genius. Absolutely love his unique version of "Old MacDonald Had a Farm".

The animation is deliciously wacky, eye-popping, rich in detail and high in imagination.

Loved the pacing, with many unpredictable and deliciously bizarre gags that come thick and fast at you, going seamlessly from one to another without being rushed and disjointed. The opening and the fast and furious chase scene are the most memorable.

Porky is likable enough, though the cows are much funnier, have more screen time and make much more of an impact especially the mechanical one. The voice acting is strong, interesting that the duck voiced by Clampett himself is a little reminiscent of Daffy Duck but sounds Donald Duck-esque.

All in all, a great cartoon where the animation, music and cows are the high-points, as well as that it's hugely entertaining. 9/10 Bethany Cox
