Black and White Porky in Black and White

Porky Pig checks out a car engine in Porky’s Super Service. A little brat, the kind that populates cartoons of the 1930s, turns on the ignition. See the effect on Porky.



The tune in the background while this is going on is “Little Old Fashioned Music Box” by George W. Meyer and Pete Wendling (unheard lyrics by Mac David). The soundtrack is more likeable than the kid. It features “I’m Hatin’ This Waitin’ Around,” “My Little Buckaroo,” “Gee But You’re Swell” and “ ‘Cause My Baby Says It’s So.”

Bob Clampett and Chuck Jones have animation credits; this was animated at Ub Iwerks’ studio in Beverly Hills. Mel Blanc and Elvia Allman provide voices, and there’s an incidental voice I can’t pick out.
