Foghorn obliges, the shack explodes, and the chicken hawks are blown back into their nest. Then Elvis sticks his head out of the shack and asks Foghorn for a match. The chicken hawks cannot see and Foghorn steps out of the shack. Foghorn then leads his predators into a shack containing explosives and shuts the door. Then, Elvis and Pappy break out of the cellar and continue their pursuit of the rooster. When the tornado dies down, we see Foghorn rendered featherless (wearing a pair of polka-dotted boxer shorts), so he remedies this by putting on a new set of feathers (ACME Instant Feathers). However, he hears a noise and discovers that there is a tornado approaching, but is unable to unlock the cellar in time, getting caught in it. Then, Foghorn leads his two adversaries into a cellar, pretending a tornado is nearby, and bolts it shut to trap them. Foghorn tries a series of maneuvers to evade the chicken hawks, including a pistol duel which ends up backfiring on him, knocking his beak off ("first, I say, first time someone shot my mouth off!"). In a tree, two hungry chicken hawks, "Elvis" and "Pappy", spot Foghorn Leghorn and announce that they will be having him for dinner.įollowing a pattern in previous Looney Tunes/ Merrie Melodies cartoons, Foghorn soon realizes that the chicken hawks are not extending an invitation but want to eat him for dinner. He then smells magnolia trees and figures that he is in the south, and hops out of the basket using an umbrella as a parachute, while also managing to bring a suitcase that contains a lounging chair and a mint julep. The cartoon is also the second and final cartoon to feature the buzzards (who are referred to as chicken hawks in this short), "Pappy" and "Elvis," the first being the Bugs Bunny cartoon, " Backwoods Bunny," released a year earlier.įoghorn Leghorn is seen flying south for the winter, though he is not actually flying himself but hitching a ride on a basket that is being pulled by a flock of ducks. The cartoon was released on September 24, 1960, and features Foghorn Leghorn. Looney Tunes cartoon short directed by Robert McKimson. I have also heard some quite horrendous stories about the Bugs and Daffy DVDs and how it is presented in widescreen despite the cartoons not being made in that way, which has resulted in a lot of details, including characters heads, being cut off.The Dixie Fryer is a 1960 Warner Bros. I will probably pick up the Foghorn DVD but as I already own all of the Sylvetser and Tweety cartoons I will avoid that one like the plague. In fact most of the disc looks just like one of the Golden Collection disc (Volume 3, disc 4?) with a couple of different cartoons thrown in. * Unfortunately all of the Tweety & Sylvester cartoons are already available on DVD.
