Synopsis

Little Henery the Chicken Hawk wants to prove he's big enough to hunt chickens, but he doesn't know what a chicken is. He labels Foghorn Leghorn a loud-mouthed shnook and dismisses him, prompting Foggy to indignantly try to prove he's a chicken and therefore fit to be Henery's prey.

Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) this 7-minute cartoon from over 65 years ago was never really among my favorites of his. It's one of his earlier films and in my opinion this one has just too many characters and too little fun for such a short runtime. It's Warner Bros, so of course Mel Blanc does all the voices again, but the writer-director duo are not Jones/Maltese this time, but McKimson and Foster, both very successful in their own right as well. Foghorn attempts to prove to a young chicken hawk that he is indeed a chicken. He has to do so after he beat up the hawk's daddy and the daddy says he is not a chicken to avoid the embarrassment. Sadly for Foghorn, this fight with the haws's daddy was his only glorious moment in here. He gets owned a lot afterward, by the small chicken hawk, but also by the dog living on the farm. All in all, not one of the greatest Warner Bros cartoons and not even among the best Foghorn Loghorn films. Not recommended.
tavm Once again, Henery Hawk is looking for a chicken to catch and once again, he doesn't know what a chicken looks like. When he sees his father looking at Foghorn Leghorn, the father, because he doesn't like his son tagging along, tells him he's not a chicken but a "snook". Supposedly because his ego is deflated, Foghorn keeps trying to convince Henery he really is a chicken. Of course, there's also the Barnyard Dog he has to deal with...Seeing the Southern rooster make some awful puns always gets a smile from me and occasionally even a laugh and it's always great to see him and the Barnyard Dog play tricks on each other. While Henery also provides some amusement, I was glad when he was eventually jettisoned for some other supporting characters like Prissy and her intellectual son. Anyway, The Foghorn Leghorn is another classic from the Robert McKimson unit.
slymusic "The Foghorn Leghorn," directed by Bob McKimson, is a very good Warner Bros. cartoon starring Henery Hawk, Foghorn Leghorn, and Barnyard Dog. Henery's dad tries to dissuade him from pursuing chickens, but Henery, being a chicken hawk, has never even seen a chicken and is filled with a great curiosity. He decides he HAS to see for himself just what a chicken looks like and subsequently capture it for supper.My favorite moments from "The Foghorn Leghorn" include the following. When Henery's dad tries to steal some hens, the hens all react in horror; one hen in particular drops dead to display her rather unglamorous knickers. In trying to prove himself a chicken (and NOT a loudmouthed schnook) to Henery, Foghorn Leghorn speaks in his usual overbearing Southern drawl and repeatedly applies some wildly exaggerated gestures to inadvertently beat up on Barnyard Dog, whom Henery mistakes for a chicken.All those who get a big kick out of Foghorn Leghorn will appreciate this self-titled cartoon, in which that bigmouthed rooster really gets a chance to shine. It's especially funny to see Foghorn display an overly confident demeanor, only to have his bravado backfire on him every time, thus making a jackass of himself.
Rikichi Foghorn Leghorn was on of the lesser stars at Warner Bros., but he was still one of the biggest cartoon stars from the mid '40's for the next 20 years. In this, his third short, once again Henery Hawk can't get it straight on what a chicken is supposed to look like, and anyone who has seen one of these classic Robert McKimson Fogorn/Henery cartoons knows the drill, and the gags in this one are very much par for the course. Also included is the Barnyard Dog, while not indispensable to this particular series, added a lot to them with his gruff matter-of-fact attitude. Besides, he was the only one who never failed to see Foghorn for what he really was, a loudmouth shnook.
