Stalling. A Looney Tune released on January 27, 1940.<\/p>\n<p>Africa is a place I&#8217;d like to visit someday. (But not if I have to share a plane with other human beings. Guess I better start walking.) In the meantime, I think I&#8217;ll remember the tales Porky told me after HE went to that particular continent.<\/p>\n<p>He was accompanied by a legion of politically incorrect guides as they traipsed through the various dark stages of Africa. (This time, Porky stops in the darkest part. He knows what he&#8217;ll find if he keeps <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wackyland2.com\/blog-1\/2012\/09\/04\/2012-9-4-porky-in-wackyland-html\/\">going<\/a>&#8230;) What he actually finds is none other than Spencer Tracy who is quite the method actor, as he came all the way out here to mistake Porky for Dr. Livingston. But he&#8217;s not the only one mistaken around here. Tell me Bob, why are you insulting every ostrich on the planet with one of those &#8216;hiding their head underground&#8217; jokes? I&#8217;m not mad. I&#8217;m disappointed AND mad!<\/p>\n<p>And then we see some lions who must think they&#8217;re hyenas with all the bones they&#8217;re devouring. (I pity their stomach lining.) And, wouldn&#8217;t you know it, the world&#8217;s first Aipom! (Okay, Bob. You and me? We are cool again.) At night, we get a joke that is funny because it&#8217;s true. Porky can&#8217;t sleep due to the &#8220;silence&#8221; of the jungle. And Tracy is still looking for the doctor. He&#8217;s gotten way off course, as he&#8217;s now looking in kangaroo pouches. (He covers good amounts of ground.)<\/p>\n<p>The next day, one of the native&#8217;s lets Porky know of the strange white man that is in their village. The narrator can&#8217;t believe someone of that complexion would willingly want to stay here! I mean, it&#8217;s not like there&#8217;s any other <em>humans <\/em>around here. (Actually, with how they&#8217;re drawn, I&#8217;m not entirely sure the native&#8217;s <strong>are <\/strong>human. That&#8217;s the kind of hurtful caricatures you just have to expect in this era.) This must be the man Tracy is looking for, and Porky helps the two lost souls reunite at last. Dr. Livingston, we presume?<\/p>\n<p>Not quite. It&#8217;s actually Cake Icer! (A brilliant pun on radio personality Kay Kyser.) He&#8217;s here to turn up the musical charms and the whole jungle gets jumping! This is great! Who knew Africa was lovely not just for its scenic vistas, but also auditory parties? I could get to like hanging around here, but sadly our time is up. As we leave, the whole continent waves goodbye. (Did you know Madagascar was a hand?)<\/p>\n<p>Favorite Part: After some baby deer shoot down a&#8230; condor? (Bo-ob! We need to have another ta-alk!) They laugh in the same way the bird was when he thought they were <em>his <\/em>dinner. Cute.<\/p>\n<p>Personal Rating: 2 (Lot of hurtful images here, and nothing really noteworthy to offset them.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Now we&#8217;re looney-tuney!&#8221; Supervision by Robert Clampett; Story by Dave Hoffman; Animation by John Carey; Musical Direction by Carl W.
