Scrappy Birthday Trailers

For her birthday, Andy presents his sweetheart, Miranda, with her usual present, candy and flowers. Miranda complains she wants something decent for her birthday like a fur coat...which Andy can't afford. A con man tells him he doesn't need money. He sells him a tracking hound and tells him he can hunt for the fox himself. Unfortunately, the fox Andy and his hound find has no intentions of being caught. Eventually, Andy does capture an animal to make a fur stole with. It's not the fox but, rather, something that's more of a surprise.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

Miranda wants a fur coat for her birthday, so Andy goes fox-hunting with a red-headed foxhound in this very good Andy Panda cartoon.Director Dick Lundy seems to have envisaged a Screwy Squirrel scenario, but even though the general attitude seems to suggest that wackiest of Tex Avery characters, there are enough outrageous sight gags to keep this one moving along, including a couple that I haven't encountered before -- check out the one in which the fox is hiding in the tree. This one is a real treat.For some reason, the body of the cartoon begins with half a dozen bars of "The Woody Woodpecker Song". Were they trying to turn it into a general theme for Lantz cartoons?
