Mjeteconer Just perfect...

Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated

Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

Edgar Allan Pooh . . . being "a phoned-in minimal effort proving that the Looney Tuners were on their last legs by the late 1950s." Perhaps ironically, the framing device for the quartet of flashbacks buried within FEATHER BLUSTER involves "Foggy," a geezer version of Foghorn Leghorn, and "Barney" (a geriatric Barnyard Dog, of course). Today's Youth will recognize this stodgy pair for the spot-on representations of Aging Baby Boomers that they are. Warner Bros.' always prophetic Animated Shorts Seers division deftly uses FEATHER BLUSTER to warn America of the disastrous 2016 USA election "choice," between "Tweedledee" and "Tweedledum," a pair of out-of-gas Boomer Windbags. Just as with the outcome of the various moments of conflict between Barnyard Dog and Foghorn Leghorn taking place within FEATHER BLUSTER, it pretty much does not matter which blah option prevails. Two years ago it was a lose-lose prospect for our beleaguered nation, just as Foghorn vs. Dumb Dog is a non-winnable proposition for their farm. In showing the offspring of these deplorable oldsters following in the footsteps of their progenitors, Warner's seers take a pessimistic view about the overall chances for America's continued survival. Countries come and go. Some, such as Atlantis, go out with a bang. But most--including Mesopotamia and Byzantium--fade away with a whimper.

TheLittleSongbird Foghorn Leghorn may not be my favourite of all the Looney Tunes characters, but he's funny and stands out from the rest. He's also like Pepe LePew in the sense that I appreciate him more now than I did. Most of his cartoons are thoroughly entertaining and have good re-watch value. Feather Bluster was a decent one from him but didn't see him at his best. The animation is lovely in the clips shown and in the reminiscing parts, it's colourful, detailed and never looks jerky. The music has lots of energy and is lushly orchestrated though I do marginally prefer Carl Stalling's work over Milt Franklin's(that is not knocking Franklin at all as he was a fine composer indeed). Both Foghorn and Barnyard Dog in the clips and in old form are on top form, and their children are pleasant additions but not given much to do(though that was most likely the point). Mel Blanc does a bravura job in what is essentially a vocal one-man show, doing six voices and giving a different voice and personality when needed. There isn't anything terribly wrong actually with the writing, it is funny and sweet but overall I did miss the sharp wit and manic energy that I usually see, it's these that makes Foghorn's cartoons so fun. The gags in the clips are also good, but I agree that none used are the best gags of their respective cartoons(it actually wasn't until recently when I finally understood the significance of the green tongue gag though), though the one used for the All Fowled Up clip came closest. I like all three cartoons used a lot and all three should be seen in their entirety on their own for the gags to have an even stronger impact. The story is a nice idea, the reminiscing parts are touching but deserved more time because a lot of it was more an excuse to string along the clips. At around the 6 minute mark, Feather Bluster did seem rather short for a Foghorn cartoon, if it was about a minute-and-a-half longer I think it would have given the parts where Foghorn and Barnyard are reminiscing a more powerful punch. Overall, it was nice enough and I was entertained but at the same time I didn't really see much of a need for it. 6/10 Bethany Cox

bob the moo Foghorn Leghorn and his dog companion are old and retired from the henhouse game. They sit on the stoop and watch their grandchildren chasing each other around - putting them in mind of themselves of their earlier days together.This cartoon looks like it will be one of those rather horrid `replace characters with child equivalent' films, but it soon reveals itself to be a `remember when' clips film instead - neither particularly desirable types in my opinion. The kids' stuff is mainly used as a prologue and epilogue to allow the main characters to have something to do their reminiscing against. The clips they show are quite funny but, having seen some of the films they come from, are much better in the context of the film they are shown in - although I know there are funnier gags from the series and I did wonder why they chose one or two of the ones they did.In clip mood, Foghorn and the Barnyard Dog are both as funny as they can be, however their old characters are a little annoying and are giving way too much screen time considering all they are doing is acting as hosts of a mini clip show. Their grandchildren are OK and are mercifully kept in the background for the majority of the film.Overall this is a cartoon that is really just a mini clip show. It is funny because the original cartoons that the gags are lifted from are funny - but it is worth hunting down those rather than watching this by itself.

Chip_douglas It's a look into the future with the grandchildren of Foghorn Leghorn and Barnyard Dog stepping into the footsteps of their elders. Judging from the old rooster's broken leg, the pair of old age pensioners still seem to be at it as well. That might have been funny to see, but instead we are only treated to old clips as the pair of them reminisce about their old ‘rousting games'. Cue some sequences from `Hen House Henery' (1949), `All Fowled Up'(1955) and `The High and the Flighty' (1956). Most of these get newly animated bookends (for instance Daffy Duck is removed from the `High and the Flighty' gag). But the new bits don't quite match up, as Foggy has changed his appearance somewhat (in the earlier flicks, he had less on top and more around the waist).One has to wonder if they could not have chosen some funnier stuff from all the previous entries in this series. Especially the last clip is a letdown, chosen mainly to be easily recreated by the younger versions. It must be said that the designs for the two grandchildren are much cuter than their counterparts on 'Tiny Toon Adventures' three decades later. Shame they were wasted in this typical episode of ‘Family Ties'.4 out of 10
