CommentsXp Best movie ever!

Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Michael_Elliott Porky's Poultry Plant (1936) *** (out of 4) Porky is feeding the various animals on his farm including the ducks and chickens. Then his farm comes under attack by a hawk that has been stealing various chickens. Now it's up to Porky to try and protect what is his.PORKY'S POULTRY PLANT is another winner for the series, which of course was still rather young here. What's so fun about this short is that there's a lot of imagination going on and especially during the finale where Porky gets into his airplane and goes after the hawk who has stolen a baby chicken. There's a lot of action going on and plenty of nice little laughs as this battle plays out. Another good thing about this is an earlier scene where Porky is trying to feed everyone but the same chicken keeps getting left out.

Edgar Allan Pooh . . . should have no problem seeing that Warner Bros. is foreshadowing all four years of Benghazi with its animated short, PORKY'S POULTRY PLANT. This cartoon begins with Porky stuttering. Such repetition represents Hillary's Private Email Server, which Gratuitously Rebroadcast all of America's Top Hat Secrets here, there, and everywhere. Porky's scattershot approach to chicken feeding denotes Hillary's haphazard expenditure of mere chicken feed on securing our U.S. embassies abroad. The posters mourning the losses of Olga, Dorothy, Gertie, Rebecca, and poor Petunia are meant to prepare Americans for the attacks on our African Embassies (three in total), the U.S.S. Cole, and our NSA Protection Program under the Clinton Team. When a clueless Porky cannot operate his own gun proficiently after the Chicknapping here, Warner is predicting Hillary's indecisive dithering during the Benghazi Zero Hour. But Porky's Transformation into a fighter-plane-flying hero to wrap up PORKY'S POULTRY PLANT is Warner's way of saying "Don't give up--there's still hope, as long as America doesn't expect a chick to do a rooster's job!" Just be thankful that the Looney Tuners are so easy to decipher, that they cover such important topics, and that they allow us ample lead time to react to their warnings. Eat your heart out, Nostradamus!

TheLittleSongbird Porky's Poultry Plant is interesting from a historical perspective for Frank Tashlin and Carl Stalling at the start of their Warner Brothers/Looney Tunes careers. But it does deserve to be known for more than just historical value. Tashlin and Porky have done much better since, but Porky's Poultry Plant is entertaining, sometimes cute and a decent enough start for Tashlin. There is the sense that he was finding his feet(which is normal really), the cartoon does lack energy sometimes and the ending is too cutesy and abrupt. It is unexceptional story-wise with a routine structure, and Joe Dougherty's voice work is very uncontrolled and not very dynamic(Mel Blanc is missed here). However the animation is great, detailed, crisp and beautifully shaded, plus there is evidence of directorial mastery with Tashlin in the camera angles, the opening shot is simply gorgeous. Stalling's music is similarly wonderful, it is lushly orchestrated and lively with Stalling's style all over it. The dialogue is witty and amusing, and while never hilarious the gags are also decent. The airborne chase is exciting and Porky's Pultry Plant's highlight, the snake charmer bit while a somewhat predictable gag is funny too. Porky despite the lack of Mel Blanc voicing him is a decent lead character, if not the most charismatic. The chickens are cute and the vultures are appropriately antagonistic. All in all, not great but fun and interesting. 7/10 Bethany Cox

slymusic "Porky's Poultry Plant" is an early Porky Pig cartoon that marked the directorial debut of Frank Tashlin, who would eventually make a transition from animated cartoons to live-action feature films. In this film, Porky doesn't look or speak the way we are accustomed to, but he is still such a lovable character as he watches after the livestock on his farm.There are two scenes from "Porky's Poultry Plant" that I especially like. First, Porky plays a funnel like a snake charmer's flute in order to retrieve a few worms from the ground for his baby chicks to eat. And second, when Porky flies his airplane trying to save a chick that has been swiped by vultures, a rooster serves as a football commentator!Lots of great action and quick camera cuts characterize the animated cartoons of Frank Tashlin, and "Porky's Poultry Plant" is no exception. Tashlin was certainly a welcome addition to the Warner Bros. cartoon family.
