Absolutely the worst movie.

A Masterpiece!

To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.

The first must-see film of the year.

"Little 'Tinker" is another Tex Avery MGM cartoon and this one is from 1948, so it has its 70th anniversary this year. The protagonist here is a little skunk that is madly in love with basically all the animals from the forest, but his smell makes it fairly hard for them to appreciate his efforts. Like many other times with Avery, it is about a character that really only appears in this one film and never again. The voice cast includes a few fairly well known names that lovers of these old cartoons will immediately recognize. Sadly, the outcome here is a bit on the underwhelming side though. The protagonist is cute in his off-stage scenes and the ending is kinda sweet too, even if it feels a bit forced to be happy, but the weaknesses prevail. The music and coolness factor did almost nothing for me, the plays on words are fairly mediocre and it just wasn't funny or entertaining or sweet enough in my opinion. Avery's films are usually more about coolness really than about emotion, but this one comes short in both fields. It does not live up to the premise in the seven minutes from start to finish. the good animation alone os not really enough for me to give this one a thumbs-up as honestly most cartoon works from this Golden Age of Animation, not just by MGM, look very nice. My suggestion is to skip this one.

OTHER THAN THE central character of a love starved skunk who has no problem with trans-species relationships, there is nothing to distinguish this entry into MGM's animation department. That's no to say that it isn't interesting, enjoyable and full of yuks, for it is. FILLING THE ONE reel of cartoon with such a slim premise is made possible with Director Avery's inclusion of multiple examples of two of his favorite tools. Those would be the sight gag and its literary cousin, the play on words or "pun", if you will. WELL, ANYWAY THE cartoon was not meant to be the main event; but rather a sort of warm up for the movie going public of the day. It was supposed to get the program progressing along to the feature film in a happy, ,receptive mood.AND WE BELIEVE that Mr. Frederick Bean "Tex" Avery did well achieve this end!

"Little Tinker" is a very funny cartoon involving a lonely, smelly skunk who yearns for true love. This may sound like a Warner Bros. cartoon featuring a certain familiar French skunk, but it isn't. This cartoon was made at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) and directed by perhaps the king of cartoon exaggeration: Fred "Tex" Avery. This film hums with energy as the poor skunk seeks out just about every small animal he can find for their affections. He does win out in the end, but only after a lot of searching and experimenting.My favorite moments from "Little Tinker" include the following (DON'T read on until after you have seen this cartoon). A little gray bunny sniffs the skunk's flower and then lets out a hilarious scream before scurrying to the nearest hole and zipping it up. When Cupid appears, he gives his own hilarious reaction to the skunk's scent before strapping on a gas mask. An owl drops dead after being smooched by the skunk. The skunk makes a mockery of the Italian language while serenading a raccoon with the famous Sextet from Donizetti's "Lucia di Lammermoor." During the skunk's act of camouflaging himself into a fox, we hear a jazzy, energetic rendition of "Sweet and Lovely." And finally, watch for all the puns & wordplay with the various signs & labels in this cartoon."Little Tinker" is probably a cartoon that has been overshadowed by the various Warner Bros. cartoons featuring Pepe Le Pew, but I would suggest that you give this cartoon another look. It has a fair number of funny moments & wild sight gags, and it bustles with energy, which is all we could count on from director Tex Avery.

I loved this cartoon. It is so cute and it's funny at the same time. You know, during the beginning and the middle of this cartoon, I do feel sorry for the little skunk. Like nobody loves him until the end that is. The scenes with The Curdina-Bunny and The Frank Sinatra parody were especially hilarious. Who would of thought Frankie was quite a stud back then; I am sure he wasn't that lanky too.One more thing I would like mention, I am also a hopeless romantic. I mean I love a good romance - neither movie or cartoon. Also I thought this short will be prefect for Valentine's Day along with Pepe le Pew cartoons. Pepe's my favorite cartoon character and Valentine's Day is another favorite holiday of mine.
