Avis à la une
It's this kind of insanity that makes me love these Tex Avery Droopy cartoons. They are so full of great dialog in addition to the sight gags that I constantly laugh throughout most of them. The absurdity of a horse asking for a tutti-fruitti ice cream bar is just one example.
Of course, you know who is going to catch this bandit: little Droopy, with a cowboy hat on that is bigger than him. The action will take place at the "Rigor Mortis Saloon" where customers are invited to "come in and get stiff." Ouch!!
As with the "Dan McGoo" cartoon, we get the beautiful woman singing a song on stage and the wolf's eyeballs flying out but that part is very short. The chase begins when this varmint grabs that sexy singer and rides off with her out of the saloon. A posse is quickly formed and we a corny horse race....but you know who will win this "race" to get the villain.
My favorite character in this story was the bandit's horse, who was really funny. All in all, more good silly, corny animated fun....and another great restoration job on this Droopy "Complete Theatrical Collection" DVD. The colors in here look fantastic. For fans of this cartoon, I highly recommend this DVD.
I like everything except Droopy's voice. He doesn't sound like the Droopy that I know and he doesn't talk enough. He has the same style, but the tone is off. They're probably using different voice performers. As for the final reveal, a funnier joke would be Droopy demanding that Wolf pay for the ice cream and let him go afterwards. This is good overall.
Watch for Droopy's appearances in this one-he pops up unexpectedly in some amusing places. There's also a great running gag here that may well be his best running gag, certainly the best Avery used while at MGM (the one at the core of The Legend of Rockabye Point may be better, but I love that cartoon so much, I could be biased in its favor) and running gags were a staple in Avery cartoons. Most of them had at least one. Good cartoon and the ending is great. Well worth watching. Recommended.
It's non-stop fun and action (even some adult-oriented fare!). Some laughs, and plenty of witty spoofs and gags.

Le saviez-vous
- AnecdotesThe background art was meticulously and colorfully rendered, as befitted animation's golden age. Among the desert plants seen are Saguaro and barrel cacti, yuccas, and the Joshua tree.
- GaffesWhen crossing the highway at the 'boulevard stop', the Wolf makes a fatal (for a human; not for a Toon) mistake - he looks left, then right, then crosses without looking left again. Looking left the second time ensures that no traffic is coming in the lane the crosser is about to enter.
