Porky In Wackyland




The voices are by Mel Blanc . The short was directed by Robert "Bob" Clampett . Izzy Ellis and Norman McCabe were the credited animators. Carl Stalling directed the music. Leon Schlesinger and an uncredited Ray Katz produced the cartoon.

The film is celebrated for its surreal humor such as when Porky is chasing the bird, it disappears and suddenly the Warner Brothers shield immediately emerges from the horizon's Vanishing Point . The Do-Do comes from behind the shield to bop Porky on the head and we see the shield immediately turn to return to the horizon with the bird riding it there.

The long pan through Wackyland was remade in color by Clampett for inclusion in his 1943 short '' Tin Pan Alley Cats ''. A Technicolor (and partially Cinecolor ) remake of ''Porky in Wackyland'' was supervised by Friz Freleng in 1949 , and re-titled Dough for the Do-Do.

In 2000 the United States Library Of Congress deemed the short "culturally significant" and selected it for preservation in the National Film Registry . The Do-Do Bird is (according to writer Paul Dini ) the father of Gogo Dodo , a character seen on the '' Tiny Toon Adventures '' animated series.
