Dirtylogy It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Michael_Elliott I Haven't Got a Hat (1935)** 1/2 (out of 4)A small school is having their recital day. Porky Pig, stuttering and all, must stand up and do The Midnight Ride of Paul revere while other students follow.I HAVEN'T GOT A HAT isn't the greatest animated short ever made but it is somewhat historic as this here was the first appearance of Porky Pig. His look and vocal performance is a lot different than the Porky most people know and love but it's still rather interesting seeing this early version. For the most part this is an innocent enough of a short as it's basically introducing us to a bunch of new characters with of course Porky taking off. There really wasn't any major laughs but it was pleasant enough.

Lee Eisenberg Although "I Haven't Got a Hat" just looks like a cute cartoon, it really seems to be focusing on the various kinds of things that can happen during a school recital, namely stage fright and resentment. Probably most famous as Porky Pig's debut (he sings about Paul Revere's ride), the cartoon culminates when an owl tries to play the piano but a cat messes with the piano.So, this is a formidable part of cartoon history. The crowd behind the Looney Tunes cartoons would further develop the cartoons in later years, but this is a good reference point. Worth seeing.The lamb's fleece was as white as corn flakes. Ha!

Stephen Holloway The cartoon served as an pilot for an replacement for Buddy and even though Beans was originally going to replace Buddy, Porky eventually replaces both. Anyway, the cartoon begins at an local school and yes it's loosely based on the Our Gang series. First was Porky who tries to recite Paul Reverce's Ride but fails. Then Miss Kitty tries to recite Mary had an Lamb. But, it to failed. Ham and Ex (Twin Dogs) sings the title of the cartoon and were good. Finally, an unexpected duo courtesy of Beans and Oliver. While Oliver plays, Beans puts an cat and dog in the piano. Everyone though it was Oliver was playing until the cat and dog left. Then the boos came, Beans laugh, Oliver sprays him with his pen,and Beans land an can of paint on Oliver's head, and they shakes hands thus ending the cartoon. Porky didn't appear much in this short and it was one of an few downside. Still, the cartoon is good. I recommend it for all the Porky's fans out there. But I wish Mel Blanc voiced Porky from the start though. But Joe Dougherty wasn't that bad. Final Score: an 8 out of 10

TomWills Mr. Freling comes up with the ultimate classroom stutterer in this Merrie Melodies cartoon. It begins with an elementary age Porky reciting "The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere" in front of an audience. Other characters strut their stuff too, but I only recognise Porky.
