Bat Overhead

Porky opens a door in an abandoned yacht club and out fly a number of bats. In fact, one with a moustache soars directly at the theatre audience.



Mel Millar’s story for It’s An Ill Wind (1938) also has a bear (actually a bearskin rug) that comes at the camera. Between a disobedient dog and a duck sidekick that won’t shut up (why did Warners love that kind of character in the late ‘30s?), the cartoon is more annoying than funny.

Bugs Hardaway and Cal Dalton are the directors, while Herman Cohen gets the animation credit. Mel Blanc and Danny Webb supply voices.
