Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Tayloriona Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Cassandra Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

TheLittleSongbird I am a huge fan of Looney Tunes, and I do like Porky Pig. Porky in Wackyland is not only one of Porky's best cartoons but one of Bob Clampett's masterpieces. The animation is wonderful, none of the characters are blockily drawn and the background art is fluid and inventive. The music is energetic and very infectious. The story is very well paced and interesting, and the dialogue and gags are wonderfully funny and surreal, not to mention wacky. Porky is great here with great dialogue and personality and he even gets to ride a really sweet little plane, the dodo is the cutest cartoon dodo I've seen and they wouldn't be extinct possibly if they had the intelligence and skills that this dodo had. Mel Blanc gives a bravura vocal performance, and Billy Bletcher even shows up briefly as a Goon. In conclusion, a brilliant cartoon and one of Porky and Clampett's best. 10/10 Bethany Cox

slymusic 1938 was a peak year for screwball comedy, and "Porky in Wackyland" definitely fits that genre. This black-and-white Porky Pig cartoon was directed by Bob Clampett, who, according to some cartoon buffs, put the word "looney" in Looney Tunes, and I agree. "Porky in Wackyland" displays Clampett at perhaps his most quintessential; he stops at absolutely NOTHING in order to create a wacky, silly, anything-for-a-laugh cartoon. In search of a rare Do-Do bird worth a pile of jack, Porky flies into an extremely bizarre world, appropriately named Wackyland, and encounters all kinds of screwball characters & crazy situations! My favorite moments from "Porky in Wackyland" include the following (if you haven't yet seen this classic cartoon, don't read any further). As Porky flies toward Wackyland, it's really nice to see him cheerfully greet the audience and display for everyone a photograph of the Do-Do he seeks. During Porky's difficulty in capturing the bird, it hides behind a zooming Warner Bros. logo and smacks Porky in the face with a slingshot; the logo then zooms out again with the appropriate sliding-guitar effect. And amidst all the kooky characters that Porky meets are a three-headed monster of the Three Stooges (one of my favorite comedy teams) and a small character who buds out of a flower and, after using his nose as a flute, suddenly bangs away on a drumset and tinkers on a very miniature piano.Without a doubt, "Porky in Wackyland" is a cartoon in which director Bob Clampett was not afraid to try anything, no matter how silly, in order to get a laugh. And because we have the benefit of this cartoon being on DVD (Disc 3 of the Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 2), it may be helpful to freeze-frame certain moments of the cartoon in order to clearly see all of the various inhabitants of Wackyland.

Markc65 In 1937 Robert Clampett was promoted to director and one year later he created his first, true classic cartoon of the many that he would direct for Warner Bros. studio: Porky in Wackyland. Along with Tex Avery and Frank Tashlin, Clampett was instrumental in creating the Warner style. He was an innovator who liked to push the boundaries of the medium, and Wackyland is a perfect example of this. It was also the first of Clampett's many cartoons to use hallucinatory, surrealistic images; others would include The Great Piggy Bank Robbery, The Big Snooze and Tin Pan Alley Cats (which re-used animation from Porky in Wackyland.) Wackyland was later remade in color as Dough for the Do-Do by Friz Freleng.

clem-5 This cartoon is an early pinnacle of animation insanity, the prototypical Warner Brothers short. A blitzkrieg of jokes, puns, and free-wheeling mayhem, WB-style cartoons sometimes equaled, but never surpassed, "Porky in Wackyland". Every square inch of every frame is packed with information that flows in several directions at once. Carl Stalling's score is as integral to this cartoon as any of the visual elements (and more so than the "script"). For these, and many other, reasons, "Porky in Wackyland" is the blueprint for the best of WB cartoons, as well as a signpost to various late-20th Century highbrow/lowbrow aesthetics.
