CONFUSIONS OF A NUTZY SPY (Released to theaters USA 1943)

 

Ben Meyers’ Rating: 3.8|5.0 Starsììì  Confusions of a Nutzy Spy—cute WW II short film—is a toon that tells a WWII story. It's not a great Looney Toon but for history's sake is worth a watch.  Film Poster Courtesy of IMDb Storyline  Porky Pig's unit is called to catch a German spy.  Additional Thanks Thank you to Director Norman McCabe for directing effort. Thank you to Producer Leon Schlesinger for making the film possible. Cast includes Mel Blanc.  Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?  Maybe. It is a black and white Porky Pig short film when he is finally assuming his 'look' that will follow his career. The short movie is 'average' entertainment.   Video Critique Available Here: Ben Meyers

GOPHER GOOFY (Released to Theaters USA 1942)

 

Ben Meyers’ Rating: 3.9|5.0 Starsììì  Gopher Goofy—cute, animated short film—has Mel Blanc using a different version of the voice of Bugs Bunny for one of the gophers in this film. Listen for it. Watch for gophers instead of chipmunks for the antics.  Film Poster Courtesy of IMDb Storyline  A man fights gophers to keep his garden in tip top shape.    Additional Thanks  Thank you to Director Norman McCabe for directing effort. Thank you to Producer Leon Schlesinger for making the film possible. Thank you to Mel Blanc for voicing.   Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?  Yes. This is a good watch and  relies on good writing for its story. Video Critique Available Here:
