Cleveronix A different way of telling a story
ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
Caryl It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
Edgar Allan Pooh . . . emanates from America's top whistle-blowing outfit of All-Time, Warner Bros.' Animated Shorts Division of the mid-1900s. Warner's Watchdogs focus on a gluttonous bulldog who's a Total Trumpster in CHOW HOUND. This voracious gangster forces a red cat to work at least four jobs for little or no pay (putting at least three felines out of work). It's small wonder that consumers of this behind-the-scene manipulator's offerings are deprived of more than 75% of the services for which they've contracted. (In the case of the Municipal Zoo, the bulldog is defrauding it entirely with his knock-off goods.) This Fat Cat Bulldog also enslaves and demeans a small rodent in his rapacious plot to gorge himself with enough food to maintain the population of a fully-stocked kennel. Taking a Prophetic Page from Trumpenstein's Playbook, the insatiable bulldog begins bouncing out bogus contracts in quadruplicate, accumulating enough ill-gotten Moolah to buy his Own Private Butcher Shop. After biting off more than he can chew, the Trumpish Bulldog's Gravy Train finally derails, indicating that there's hope for America yet, if we all hang together like CHOW HOUND's red cat and abused mouse.
slymusic Directed by Chuck Jones, "Chow Hound" is a great Warner Bros. cartoon about.........a greedy chow hound! He consistently abuses an innocent feline to bring him slabs of meat.............with gravy, no less! My two favorite scenes: First, when the dog grooms the cat and ties a large blue bow tie around the cat's neck, the musical accompaniment is "Baby Face". Second, at the very end of the film, after the dog devours an entire meat market and convalesces in a hospital, the cat returns (along with his mouse companion) and says, "This time we didn't forget the gravy." Oh, how revenge can be sweet! "Chow Hound" is one of a series of one-shot cartoons that appear on the Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 6 Disc 4. It's a really fun cartoon to watch!
Glen Wooten This is my all time favorite Warner brothers Cartoon,I cannot tell you how many times I have seen this one ,It is also my favorite revenge story, In seven minutes it tells a great story of intimidation and revenge, In "Jean de Florette" and Manon des Sources" it takes four and a half hours to tell the story of crime and revenge, And in two films, If you love Warner brothers cartoons of this period, You Must see this one ! all the characters are original and fresh, No regular characters in this one ,I am surprised no one has made a live action film of this story it would not take much imagination to do so, I still love to use the tag line,"This Time we didn't forget the gravy" see it !And if you have the time , see "Jean de Florette" and Manon des Sources" "revenge is a dish best served cold".
bob the moo A dog is so hungry he can never get enough food. He uses a cat to `belong' to about 10 different homes and bring him the food from all of them to him. He also uses a mouse to play dead and get rewards for the cat for catching him. When this isn't enough he devises a plan to get even more from the cat.Hoping to see a scheduled Wallace and Gromit short, I was disappointed to have this come on instead. Once over this I settled into this to try and waste a few moments. The cartoon is amusing but the one joke repeats itself until the final two minutes that are clever, and a good ending.The characters are of the usual animation style and everyone will recognise the structure of the dog, cat and mouse. It's only a shame that the plot has only a few jokes in it, but it is still amusing and worth a few minutes of your time.
