Yeah I know I've been slacking - BIG TIME. I'm not going to promise consistency this time around. I will assure you that I will get this project finished before volume 6 comes out though.
Right.
Before we actually go on to the cartoon, it's better if we focus a bit on Arthur Davis.
Although the big directors at Warner Bros were Tashlin, McKimson, Clampett , Jones and Freleng , there were some other minor directors and Davis is one of them. His Warners career started as an animator under Tashlin's direction, then slowly replacing Clampett when he left. To tell the truth Davis did not really direct many cartoons, and to tell the truth not many of them are very good either. Animation is sloppy, plots are weak and gags are forced ( the notable exception being the fabulous dough-ray-mee-ow) Unfortunately Porky Chops is one of these.
The plot? , not much . Porky Pig decides to chop down a tree that is inhabited by a rather obnoxious Squirrel, who retaliates by wrapping a steel plate at the base of the tree. To add a bit more to the plot a bear is included in this chase.
and that's it. Obviously Porky loses and the Squirrel and bear win.
