Absolutely Brilliant!

Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

. . . for its treacherous Rape of Nanking, PORKY'S PARTY STORYBOARD REEL reveals. This 13-minute "Bonus Feature" on the Looney Tunes Golden Collection, Volume 3, Disc 3 (2005) shows BOTH the Pre-Rape and Post-Rape versions of Uncle Pincus Pig's birthday gift note to nephew Porky, which the elder Missionary Pig has dispatched from Hotel Tapioca, Hong Kong. Though the Pre-Rape storyboard gift note refers to a miracle-working "Japanese Silkworm," the Post-Rape note actually shown in this cartoon's 1938 theatrical release deprives Japan of any credit for this Wonder Worm, simply referring to it as an "Oriental Silkworm." As America tries to retrieve all of its Gold Medal Swimmers and Rowers from the Sewage Troughs of Rio, one can only anticipate the next Summer Olympics--the 2020 Games of the 32nd Olympiad--in Tokyo, Japan, with total trepidation. Everyone knows that U.S. Pachyderm Party Congressman and World Record Miler Jim Ryun saw his Metric Mile Gold Medal dreams vanish when he caught diarrhea from the unsanitary conditions there back in 1964. Now that even more of the World War Two American Occupation Force has been withdrawn, things have gotten worse during the past five decades in terms of Japan back-sliding on the Basic Principles of Sanitation. I've heard recently that some public toilets in Japan do not even feature a reliable stock of bathroom tissue! Maybe Warner Bros. needs to do an animated short explaining WHY U.S. Olympians must always BYOTP to these Games!

. . . in one of the pop classics of the U.S. Bicentennial year, with a redundant opening line about Time slipping into the Future. The rockers who came up with this stuff seem to have been heavily influenced by Looney Tunes, particularly PORKY'S PARTY, the main theme of which is "Bra the Braless." Porky's Uncle Pincus sends America's favorite pig one silkworm from Hong Kong as a birthday present. Though this caterpillar can churn out nylons, bloomers, or top hats in mere seconds, his specialty seems to be brassieres. Since American Lingerie Pioneer Howard Hughes had yet to invent cantilevered, push-up, and rocket-cone boulder holders at the time PORKY'S PARTY hit the Big Screen, the many-hued melon-minders popping up here are of a kinder, gentler variety than Howard's future output. However, Warner Bros. was responding to an urgent need recently highlighted by National Geographic Magazine's photo spreads documenting the dangers of unbridled drooping among the naturalist ladies of developing nations. It was bad enough that America's own economy was sagging in the 1930s, Warner felt. Deflation was rampant, so it was up to America's Womenfolk to perk up their unemployed male peers with the Wonder of Silk.

Bob Clampett's 'Porky's Party' is a classic piece of inspired lunacy which was one of the director's earliest cartoons. Based on the innocent premise of Porky Pig having a party for his birthday, 'Porky's Party' goes off the rails the moment the guests arrive. As was often the case in these early cartoons, Porky is given star billing but does very little compared to the bonkers antics of a drunken dog, a goofy goose and a gluttonous penguin. Essentially plot less, 'Porky's Party' relies on great set pieces and the wild energy that is so unmistakably Clampett. There's a really strange and inspired bit in which the penguin tries to rid himself of a top hat that keeps popping up inside his body! The whole thing culminates in a wild chase and a hilarious climax in which Clampett stuffs tons of gags into literally a couple of seconds. An unforgettable cartoon that helped push forward the increasingly loony agenda of the Warner studio, 'Porky's Party' is one of the greatest of the early Porky Pig shorts and a personal favourite of my own which deserves a wider audience.

"Porky's Party" is an excellent Porky Pig cartoon directed by the wackiest of all animation directors: Bob Clampett. Clampett gave his cartoons at Warner Bros. a great amount of youthful energy and a kind of craziness that is UNMATCHED, with "Porky's Party" certainly being no exception to the rule. The plot of this film can be summarized quite easily: Porky invites two of his friends over to his house for his birthday party, where they all undergo some hilarious misadventures. One of the causes of all the trouble is a mischievous silkworm that Porky receives as a birthday gift from his uncle. Accompanying all these wacky adventures is the wonderfully swinging music score by Carl Stalling.My favorite scenes from "Porky's Party" include the following (but DON'T read any further until after you have seen this cartoon). Porky is absolutely hilarious at becoming embarrassed by all the feminine undergarments that the silkworm sews from underneath Porky's coat. Porky becomes no less hilarious upon spotting his dog Black Fury with exceptionally long hair and a mouth covered with shaving cream, after which Porky gyrates wildly in all directions while shouting, "Mad dog!" And the penguin, after having accidentally eaten the silkworm, just cannot prevent his own head from popping into a top hat; the ending of this cartoon features the wildest sight gag of all, in which the exasperated penguin becomes an unbelievable conglomeration of garments sewn by the silkworm!"Porky's Party" can be found on the Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 3 Disc 3, with an additional audio commentary by contemporary animators John Kricfalusi and Eddie Fitzgerald, who are both huge fans of Bob Clampett. During the aforementioned scene of Porky with the undergarments, Fitzgerald simply cannot control his rather contagious laughter!
