if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

Foghorn Leghorn, The (1948) ** 1/2 (out of 4) Henery the Chicken Hawk wants to prove to his father that he's big enough to catch a chicken but the only problem is that he doesn't know what a chicken looks like. Foghorn tries to teach the kid but he's just too stubborn to listen and ends up trying to catch a dog. This is a pretty good short from the Merrie Melodies lot as it contains some minor laughs and some good action. I think what works best is all the action between the dog and Foghorn who keeps getting blamed for everything that happens. Henery is cute enough to work, although I didn't laugh at him too much.

"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.

Little chikenhawk Henery longs to proves to his grandfather that he's old enough to catch chickens. Foghorn Leghorn just so happens to be a chicken but Henery thinks he's just a schnook on account of his hear his pop call him that. The cartoon is hilarious and if Robert McKimson just stayed with making Foghorn shorts, and never EVER made a Bugs Bunny cartoon then I would have no beef with the guy at all. This animated short can be found on disc 4 of the Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 1 and features an optional commentary by Micheal Barrier.My Grade: A+

I'll admit I love the look of Foghorn Leghorn but I hate his cartoons. Come on, they are ALL the same. It'll start out a normal day on the farm then that annoying bird will come along and say 'I'm a chicken hawk' a hundred times. Foghorn will pretend to not be a chicken but get clobbered anyway. The impartial barnyard dog will get involved and they'll repeat the same unfunny joke over and over until the 7 minutes are up. Am I right or am I right?This was the routine EVERY Foghorn Leghorn cartoon followed and I have never liked, even when I was a little kid. This cartoon is notable for being the first appearance of the Rooster but for no other reason.
