Featured review
For the most part, I hate cute cartoons. But there are certainly a few exceptions, such as "Porky the Giant Killer". Another really good film in this same category from Looney Tunes is "Feed the Kitty" and both are worth your time.
When the story begins, the villagers are all banding together to go kill the giant. However, the giant in this fairytale seems like a nice guy...and all he wants if for his little son to go to sleep and be happy....and that's where Porky comes into the story. See the short and you'll see what I mean.
The cartoon has nice animation and provides a story that is NOT what you'd expect. Clever and worth seeing even after all these years.

Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWhen the baby giant slams Porky into the drum, the word PIG can be seen spelled in the blocks just before he hits it.
- GoofsMany things in the giant's castle are out of proportion. The steps are normal-sized (too small for the giant). Also, the cooking pot and fireplace it is in are too small for the giant.
- Alternate versionsThis cartoon was colorized in 1968 by having every other frame traced over onto a cel. Each redrawn cel was painted in color and then photographed over a colored reproduction of each original background. Needless to say, the animation quality dropped considerably from the original version with this method. The cartoon was colorized again in 1992, this time with a computer adding color to a new print of the original black and white cartoon. This preserved the quality of the original animation.
