It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

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

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Love animation, it was a big part of my life as a child, particularly Disney, Looney Tunes and Tom and Jerry, and still love it whether it's film, television or cartoons.'Porky's Pet' shows that, as to be expected, that Porky is a likable character and he is and also amusing, cute and interesting, though to me he works better in support against a stronger in personality character, where he plays it straight, than a lead. The ostrich is a great pet companion, very funny and matches Porky in cuteness and likability. 'Porky's Pet' may not be Porky at his best, this was not quite his prime period, but one can definitely see why he was popular at the time and how he remained so.As far as the story goes it is pretty slight and, although this is personal preference and something not everyone will share, Joe Dougherty's voice for Porky has never really done it for me. It's not just because Mel Blanc's more famous interpretation is more appealing to me and fits better but Dougherty doesn't sound anywhere near as natural or endearing, have always found that he overdid the stutter and that's true here too.On the other hand, the animation is characteristically great, especially in the first half, crisp, detailed and fluid throughout.The music is not Carl Stalling or Scott Bradley and does lack variety at times, but it is still lush and characterful and adds a good deal to the action if not quite enhancing it.While not hilarious, the gags are numerous and they are never less than very funny. Some of the best moments belong to the ostrich. The cartoon goes at a lively pace, never does it get dull.Concluding, nice effort. 7/10 Bethany Cox

Porky's Pet (1936) *** (out of 4) Porky and his pet ostrich get a job offer on Broadway so the two of them hop on a train heading towards the big city. Of course, once on the train things don't go as planned.PORKY'S PET is the first time in the series that Porky got his name in the title and obviously fans had grown to love the pig throughout 1936. It's amazing to see how quickly he went from a supporting player to the top pig and this here is a fun short. As you'd expect by this point, the animation itself was quite good and I really loved the scenes where everything was sped up. This includes the ostrich getting into a case and going a tad bit nuts just as the train worker comes around for tickets. There are a number of small laughs throughout the short and it remains an entertaining little picture.

. . . Confederate Neo-Nazi Racist Inbred Red-State America, they often turn to Porky Pig to do the trick. In PORKY'S PET, Warner's Animated Shorts Seers division (aka, the Looney Tuners), famous for their clarion klaxon blood-curdling cautionary calls of America's upcoming Calamities, Catastrophes, Cataclysms, and Apocalypti, select the perfect pet for Porky to symbolize the mindset for the supporters behind the USA's current Leninist Regime: an Ostrich. What is this fowl creature known for? Burying its head (and brains) in the sand at any sign of danger, that's what. "Draining the swamp" by appointing a cabinet full of Goldman Sachs fat cat J.P. Morgan Chase Billionaires? Bury your head in the sand. Make health care affordable by throwing 20 million poor people off Medicaid? Bury your head in the sand. Appoint Red Commie KGB Chief Vlad "Mad Dog" Putin's best Yankee buddy as Secretary of State? Bury you head in the sand. Convert America's Public School System into chains for Deplorable For-Profit Charter Brain-washing Shacks? Bury your head in the sand. Spending more time on plugging family fashion lines and resort properties than bringing jobs back to the coal mines? Bury your head in the sand. The Ostrich turns out to be the perfect pet for Chris Christie's Party of Porky Pigs.
