2hotFeature one of my absolute favorites!

Numerootno A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Edgar Allan Pooh . . . so Americans have been wondering for decades about WHAT Warner Bros.' always prophetic Extreme Early Warning System aimed at We Citizens of (The Then) Far Future meant to represent with Foghorn Leghorn's egg-sitting duties, as depicted here in THE EGGCITED ROOSTER by Warner's Animated Shorts Seers division (aka, The Looney Tuners). Wonder no more, America. It's crystal clear that the "egg" here symbolizes the nest egg of American Wealth, of which an Evil Insidious Gang of Billionaire Oligarchs now hoards 99%, leaving We True Blue Loyal Patriotic Honest Normal Average 99 Per Center Silent Majority Progressive Union Label Citizens to quibble over the literal crumbs of the remaining measly ONE PER CENT!! (How can this be, you might wonder, if you think that you own a home, a car, and have "money in the bank"? The answer to this query is that most if not all of We 99 Per Centers are in hock up to our eyebrows, with mortgages, student loans, credit card debt, etc., etc., etc.) Warner Bros. uses the rather lame character of Leghorn Foghorn to warn us that we're getting scalped in the end--like he does here in THE EGGCITED EGG--unless we OUTLAW job-killing Corrupt Red Commie Corporate Capitalism ASAP and exile all of KGB Chief Vlad "The Mad Russian" Putin's Fellow-Traveling Repug Party Traitors to Antarctica AFTER confiscating "their" ill-gotten wealth and paying off the "national debt" we've allowed them to foist upon us!

TheLittleSongbird Foghorn Leghorn may not have been one of my favourite animated characters as a kid, but from an adult perspective I find him very entertaining and he is certainly one of Looney Tunes' most distinctive characters. The Eggcited Rooster is one of his better cartoons, if you want a story that is different from usual with Foghorn Leghorn you won't find it. But that doesn't really matter when the story is as well-paced and always fun as it is here. And yes there is some Indian stereotyping, but I for one didn't find anything to be particularly offended at, and it wasn't as if it was being blatantly used the entire time. Whatever reservations you might have, there is still much to enjoy. The animation is great, anybody who likes their colours vibrant, their backgrounds detailed and never sparse and their characters drawn well will not be disappointed at all with the animation of The Eggcited Rooster. The music always adds so much to the Looney Tunes cartoons, and it still does here. I always love with Looney Tunes how the lush orchestration meshes so well with every gag and every sound, and how there is a mix of recognisable tunes and music written especially, which is to heard wonderfully in the music of The Eggcited Rooster. There is some really genius writing as well, there is plenty of sharp wit and lines like "This boy is making more noise than a couple of skeletons on a tin roof!" are genuinely hilarious. Not just that, but there are also some imaginative sight gags, the best one- and the one that always cracks me up- is when the doghouse explodes and you see Barnyard Dog with a fried egg on his stomach. Mel Blanc was one of few voice actors to voice multiple characters in one cartoon alone and be consistent every time, and as you'd expect his voice work is stellar with plenty of energy, inspired dialogue delivery and verve. All in all, really funny stuff and one of my favourites from Foghorn. 9/10 Bethany Cox

Lee Eisenberg Somehow, I say somehow the worst things always seem to befall Foghorn Leghorn. In "The EGGcited Rooster", he has to sit on his wife's egg and not leave it, or else. But when Henery Hawk - dressed as The Last of the Mo-hawk-ens - enters the fray, Foggy naturally sends him to harass Barnyard Dog. Guess what all ends up happening! Why did Foggy always have the worst luck? Who knows. The point is that his blustery attitude, and desire to play nasty tricks on Barnyard Dog, always get the better of him. And Henery's pride at being a chicken hawk - in this case, it means a chicken who eats other chickens, not a warmonger who never served in the army - always benefits him.So it's a pretty funny cartoon, despite the stereotyping of Indians. As it's not available on any video or DVD that I know of (at least not yet), you can watch it on YouTube.
