This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

In the tradition of Wille E. Coyote and Roadrunner, there is no dialogue and the action speaks louder than words. Inki the hunter was going to hunt a dinosaur, but instead goes after the Mynah Bird leading them in a series of wacky events. It is a great cartoon, the dinosaurs are interesting to look at and the animation is great, not to mention the music. But with every up there is a down. It is politically incorrect. First of all, the character is offensive to look at and is bound to cause an uproar. There are some running gags there. It must be seen to be believed. Give it a watch. Although it is not rated, but a G-rating would be nice.

. . . Warner Bros. courageously attempts to thwart the need for a #Cartoonssowhite Hashtag by depicting Inki as a Proud Member of the Black Race during CAVEMAN INKI. Ten years after CAVEMAN INKI graced USA theater screens, the Hanna & Barbera weasels--spawned in the same Racist Miasmic Swamp at MGM studios that birthed that infamously mendacious snooze-fest, GONE WITH THE WIND--plagiarized INKI with their Deplorable FLINTSTONES television series. These cheap cartoons Whited Out History with their bigoted all-White cast featuring the Rubble Family, along with the title characters, of course. Warner also uses CAVEMAN INKI to poke fun, in their usual clairvoyant way, at the Holy Roller Museums destined to dot America in the 21st Century in order to spread Fake "Facts" malarkey about people and dinosaurs roaming Earth AT THE SAME TIME!! The weak-minded Holocaust, Climate Change and Evolution Deniers that currently visit these Brainwashing Shacks are the same folks that accelerated the looming Human Extinction Event by AT LEAST a century when they recently installed Red Commie KGB patsy Don Juan Rump at the White House through the Rigged Election of 2016. Warner's Animated Shorts Seers division (aka, the prognosticating Looney Tuners) gets the last laugh at the expense of this Fascist Confederate Nazi ilk by throwing a Minah Bird into the mix, contemporaneous with Inki and the long-necked dinosaur. Every True Blue Loyal Patriotic Progressive Union Label toddler knows that in Reality, Minah Birds evolved from Minotaurs many eons later!

Chuck Jones clearly liked using classical music. In this cartoon he used the same mysterious, black, myna bird as he did in several other cartoons.The bird, (whose appearance signaled a stop to whatever fighting was going on) was always accompanied by the same melodic phrase by the classical composer, Felix Mendelssohn. Anyone familiar with the works of Mendelssohn will recognize the music immediately. And, I suspect the reverse will also be true, i.e. anyone having seen the huge, black myna bird, with the bored expression, doing his silly hop to the music of Mendelssohn, will find it difficult to listen to this music again without conjuring up a memory of this curious bird.

CAVEMAN INKI (1950, Warner Brothers cartoon, D: Chuck Jones) In pre-historic times small animals run when they hear the great beast roar. Then the great beast runs in terror as the ground quakes, mountains rumble, the earth splits and out hops the mynah bird, to alternately bedevil, mystify and rescue Inki as he hunts dinosaurs. Great IB-Technicolor fun! I feel so luck to have caught this rare film at CINEFEST the annual early & rare film festival in Syracuse, NY - March 2003. More film buffs should support these festivals and share their discoveries on the IMDB so other film fans can track these old titles down.
