Strangled Eggs

Foghorn's out of food and winter's coming so he decides to court Miss Prissy to get food. But everybody's favorite little chicken hawk, Henery, shows up to spoil those plans. The last Foghorn Leghorn short to feature both Miss Prissy and Henery Hawk, two wonderful supporting characters that don't often get their due. It's a very funny short with several amusing gags and likable characters. Your time is always well-spent with a cartoon featuring these three. Wonderful voicework from Julie Bennett and the incomparable Mel Blanc. Good music and nice, colorful animation. You never know what kind of quality you'll get from a Looney Tunes or Merrie Melodies short from the 1960s but, thankfully, this one is very enjoyable.

Foghorn Leghorn cartoons are always fun and Strangled Eggs is no exception. The animation is not as vibrant and the pace not as snappy as others in the Foghorn Leghorn series, and for Foghorn it's more talky than you usually are accustomed to with him and his cartoons. There is still much to like though, because the music is very upbeat and catchy enhancing the action and gags wonderfully. While there is more dialogue than usual, it is very amusing and witty stuff Henery's line about smelling chicken(in the summary) and Foghorn's final line being the standouts, and the gags are well-timed and clever, especially the cauldron "what's cooking?" and the egg grenade gags. Henery, sounding like a mix of Tweety(without the speech impediment) and Speedy Gonzales, is not as strong as he is when he is teamed with Foghorn and Barnyard Dog, but he is a good foil for Foghorn, who as usual steals the show. Mel Blanc doesn't disappoint, and Julie Bennett makes the most of her small role as Miss Prissy.

In conclusion, decent and fun but not one of Foghorn's very best moments. 7/10 Bethany Cox
