You see, writers Dave Monahan and Cal Howard have made a dog swallow the bird, and it won’t come out. That’s when the parrot (who had been harassing the dog earlier in the cartoon) becomes involved.
But it turns out the coo-coo is now outside of the dog (don’t ask how it happened). I like how it turns to the audience and urges us to be quiet as it bashes both the dog and the parrot.
Howard Swift, Ben Lloyd and Roy Jenkins are the animators with layouts and backgrounds by Clark Watson. Sid Marcus is the director. Darrell Calker’s sleepy score doesn’t help the cartoon.
Man, Calker's score is really annoying. I wonder what Stalling or Bradley would do with their brassy style, despite the cartoon itself being so boring.
ReplyDeleteGreetings from Brazil.
Punching up this one might have been a challenge for either of them.
DeleteThis cartoon really like it goes nowhere after it starts doing the whole cuckoo clock shtick. It's like they took what would've been a quick gag and stretched it out to as much as they could as some sort of feeble attempt to come up with an original idea for a short.
ReplyDeleteAt least stuff does happen in the short compared to Screen Gem's other offerings (I'm looking at you Mass Mouse Meeting...)
