Heir-Conditioned

An interesting but not terribly funny short starring Sylvester the cat and Elmer Fudd, directed by Friz Freleng. This is a cartoon with a message, namely about investing your money instead of spending it on frivolous things. Sylvester inherits a fortune and his financial adviser Elmer must try to keep him from giving it all away to his greedy friends. There were three Looney Tunes shorts like this made, all three starring Sylvester and all three paid for by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation. Even though it's not particularly funny, it's still worth a look for Looney Tunes fans. The animation is bright and colorful. The music is lively and fun. The voice work, from legends like Mel Blanc, Daws Butler, and Arthur Q. Bryan, is terrific. The only major problem with it is that it's kind of dull outside of the curiosity factor. See it if you like Sylvester and Elmer. Also there's a Tweety cameo that might make you crack a smile.
