Porky Pig's Feat

'Porky Pig's Feat (1943)' is great. This 'Looney Tunes' short is packed wall-to-wall with chaotic, side-splitting sight gags and an unrelenting energy that's simply infectious to behold. When Porky Pig and Daffy Duck are saddled with an unreasonably hefty hotel bill by an intimidating manager, the duo try everything they can think of to get out of the building without paying a single penny. It's a really fun experience that feels as though it could go on forever, never running out of steam even as it approaches its final gag. Its set-pieces are all vital and amusing, mixing pure visual bliss with delightfully 'contemporary' (now dated) references that really sell the personality of its lead characters. Mel Blanc's impeccable voice work also does that; there really is no substitute for the impossibly talented actor when it comes to injecting life into shorts like this. Overall, this is just a fantastic effort that's one of the best 'Looney Tunes' I've seen so far. It's a total blast.
