VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Aiden Melton The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Josephina Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Edgar Allan Pooh . . . Louisiana, where AN EGG SCRAMBLE is set (Porky Pig works for the Hammond Farmers Co-Op, and probably grows strawberries on the side). Gramps labored at Hammond's public schools, which he said would have been called "Lean-To's" or "Carports" had the same buildings existed in his Native North. During SCRAMBLE, Porky sexually harasses one of his female employees named "Prissy." Grand Pops rented an upstairs apartment of some sort at a preacher's home, and told stories of how the reverend would sometimes ask prying questions about whether young Gramps had ever Miscegnated. When Porky threatens to slit Prissy's throat for not participating in his baby mill scheme, Prissy objects that she's too embarrassed to engage in such goings on. Grandpa always said he survived in Hammond by eating corn dogs from the local Krystal Fast Food chain shack. Prissy's salvation is Public Enemy #1, "Pretty Boy Bagle," who responds to police machine guns by pointing his fingers and making shooting sounds with his mouth. The lesson here is that a better way for Gramps and Prissy to have fought cops, preachers, and Porky in Hammond, LA, would have been by using their Second Amendment Right to Open Carry.

TheLittleSongbird 'An Egg Scramble', as with all Looney Tunes cartoons, is filled with talent, from its undervalued director Robert McKimson, the voices of Mel Blanc and Bea Benaderet and its composer Carl Stalling.While not one of the best Looney Tunes cartoons there are, and McKimson as well as Porky have been better, 'An Egg Scramble' is very enjoyable stuff. It's ever so slightly pedestrian to begin with, all the juicy stuff comes later. A bigger issue is Porky, a good and amusing character but works better in support or with characters with stronger personalities, here he does feel too secondary and is somewhat bland with his material not being much to write home about.Everything else works however. 'An Egg Scramble', as is the case with most Looney Tunes cartoons, is beautifully animated. The colours are indeed gorgeous to look at, very luscious and vibrant, there are some lovingly detailed backgrounds and it's clear that a lot of care and effort went into the designs and drawing. Carl Stalling as ever provides an outstanding contribution to the music, love the beauty and cleverness of the orchestration, the constant energy and character and how well it fits and adds to the action. Another thing that Stalling excelled at was his use of pre-existing material and putting his own spin on it, especially good was the use of Liszt's "Symphonic Poem no. 3" in the shootout, giving the scene a tension.The dialogue has the usual wit and freshness, getting increasingly wild (with Prissy having all the best and funniest lines), while the gags, mostly centring around Prissy and the egg, are just as effective with a climax that's both fun and tense. It's a very funny cartoon, and the story while not the most interesting in hindsight is still paced mostly very well. 'An Egg Scramble' is a case of the supporting characters making more of an impression than Porky, with a riotous Prissy stealing the show. Pretty Boy Bagel is also a juicy character.Mel Blanc voices multiple characters as ever, being particularly good here as Pretty Boy Bagel, and he voices with his usual unparalleled virtuosity and ability to make his characters individual and different from one another. Bea Benaderet does a fine job as Prissy too.In conclusion, very enjoyable and particularly worth seeing for Prissy. Anybody wanting to see it for Porky might want to see another cartoon of his however. 8/10 Bethany Cox

phantom_tollbooth Robert McKimson's 'An Egg Scramble' is a run-of-the-mill cartoon. It's fairly cleverly plotted (aside from the final twist, which doesn't really make sense) but the gags are thin on the ground and not particularly top-drawer. Porky Pig (in his oft-filled role as farmer) makes an empty threat to Miss Prissy that if she doesn't lay an egg, he'll slit her throat. The other hens hatch a plot to convince Prissy she's laid one of their eggs by slipping it underneath her. The scheme works but Prissy refuses to hand the egg over and when it is taken from her she goes to extreme lengths to get it back. McKimson tells his comparatively complex story fairly well but once you've seen 'An Egg Scramble', there's little incentive to watch it again. While the story is OK, the laughs are few and far between and the whole production feels a little too pedestrian. 'An Egg Scramble' is a fair cartoon but not one I would go out of my way to recommend.

slymusic Directed by Bob McKimson, "An Egg Scramble" is just an average Porky Pig cartoon costarring that shy, blue-bonneted, no-eggs hen named Prissy. After spotting a pretty pink egg (which she thinks she laid) with her name on it, she takes ridiculously extreme measures to protect her prized possession, eventually winding up inside a gangster's hideout.Despite the fact that "An Egg Scramble" is not the greatest Warner Bros. cartoon ever made, it still manages to provide at least a few laughs. At the beginning of the cartoon, farmer Porky sings/stutters "Old MacDonald," and when he kisses one of his hens for laying two eggs instead of just one, she hilariously wipes off the smooch. In searching for "her" new egg, Prissy breaks dozens of eggs inside a grocery store, causing the proprietor to literally blow his top. When Prissy spots her egg about to be boiled on a kitchen stove, she plays a trick on the housewife by repeatedly turning the stove off when the woman's back is turned; when the lady finally catches on, the mean look on her face is quite funny indeed. And when the police throw a tear gas bomb into the gangster's hideout, the gangster and Prissy both sob as they exit the building.That wraps up my commentary for "An Egg Scramble." Enjoy the cartoon!
