best movie i've ever seen.

Absolutely the worst movie.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

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

. . . Louisiana, where AN EGG SCRAMBLE is set (Porky Pig works for the Hammond Farmers Co-Op, and probably grows strawberries on the side). Gramps labored at Hammond's public schools, which he said would have been called "Lean-To's" or "Carports" had the same buildings existed in his Native North. During SCRAMBLE, Porky sexually harasses one of his female employees named "Prissy." Grand Pops rented an upstairs apartment of some sort at a preacher's home, and told stories of how the reverend would sometimes ask prying questions about whether young Gramps had ever Miscegnated. When Porky threatens to slit Prissy's throat for not participating in his baby mill scheme, Prissy objects that she's too embarrassed to engage in such goings on. Grandpa always said he survived in Hammond by eating corn dogs from the local Krystal Fast Food chain shack. Prissy's salvation is Public Enemy #1, "Pretty Boy Bagle," who responds to police machine guns by pointing his fingers and making shooting sounds with his mouth. The lesson here is that a better way for Gramps and Prissy to have fought cops, preachers, and Porky in Hammond, LA, would have been by using their Second Amendment Right to Open Carry.

Fun short with Porky Pig and Miss Prissy. This is Prissy's first cartoon before she would become a regular staple in the Foghorn Leghorn series. Farmer Porky scolds Prissy for not producing any eggs. Then she lays one (or thinks so) but doesn't want Porky to take it. He does anyway and from there things take a hilarious turn with Prissy rescuing her egg from a woman who bought it in the market, then getting mixed up with a gangster named Pretty Boy Bagel. It's a very funny cartoon, more for Prissy and the side characters than for Porky. My favorite scene is when the police are shooting at Pretty Boy Bagel and he "fires" back at them with his fingers. Priceless. Very nice animation. Love the colors. Great voice work from Mel Blanc and Bea Benaderet. A fun short that should please most Looney Tunes fans, especially those who enjoy Miss Prissy.

Robert McKimson's 'An Egg Scramble' is a run-of-the-mill cartoon. It's fairly cleverly plotted (aside from the final twist, which doesn't really make sense) but the gags are thin on the ground and not particularly top-drawer. Porky Pig (in his oft-filled role as farmer) makes an empty threat to Miss Prissy that if she doesn't lay an egg, he'll slit her throat. The other hens hatch a plot to convince Prissy she's laid one of their eggs by slipping it underneath her. The scheme works but Prissy refuses to hand the egg over and when it is taken from her she goes to extreme lengths to get it back. McKimson tells his comparatively complex story fairly well but once you've seen 'An Egg Scramble', there's little incentive to watch it again. While the story is OK, the laughs are few and far between and the whole production feels a little too pedestrian. 'An Egg Scramble' is a fair cartoon but not one I would go out of my way to recommend.

Directed by Bob McKimson, "An Egg Scramble" is just an average Porky Pig cartoon costarring that shy, blue-bonneted, no-eggs hen named Prissy. After spotting a pretty pink egg (which she thinks she laid) with her name on it, she takes ridiculously extreme measures to protect her prized possession, eventually winding up inside a gangster's hideout.Despite the fact that "An Egg Scramble" is not the greatest Warner Bros. cartoon ever made, it still manages to provide at least a few laughs. At the beginning of the cartoon, farmer Porky sings/stutters "Old MacDonald," and when he kisses one of his hens for laying two eggs instead of just one, she hilariously wipes off the smooch. In searching for "her" new egg, Prissy breaks dozens of eggs inside a grocery store, causing the proprietor to literally blow his top. When Prissy spots her egg about to be boiled on a kitchen stove, she plays a trick on the housewife by repeatedly turning the stove off when the woman's back is turned; when the lady finally catches on, the mean look on her face is quite funny indeed. And when the police throw a tear gas bomb into the gangster's hideout, the gangster and Prissy both sob as they exit the building.That wraps up my commentary for "An Egg Scramble." Enjoy the cartoon!
