Just discovered this, the fifth episode of Hanna-Barbera's "Laurel and Hardy"s cartoon series, on the Saturday Morning Blog as linked from YouTube. Both comedians were dead by then so Hardy is voiced by Jim MacGeorge and Laurel is voiced by the owner of their likeness-Larry Harmon. In this one, they are hunting for a rabbit. Unfortunately for them, they keep running into a moose. That's all I'll say for the plot line of this four-minute short and just say how lame the whole thing was for me. This was a typical '60s low-budget television enterprise that was produced to capitalize on the revival these, and other classic film comedians, were experiencing during this decade when TV made many of them popular all over again. As such, you'd wish some quality time was spent on making these cartoons reasonably entertaining but no, with the lack of money and preparation all you get here is some repetition of movements (espcially during chases) and waste of dialogue that hardly passes for witty (the closest comes with Stan's reply after Ollie says he can't hear anything from a rabbit whistle: "Rabbits don't make any sounds"-or something like that). You don't even get to hear Ollie's "Here's another nice mess you've gotten me into!" here. So in summation, this "Laurel and Hardy" cartoon episode-No Moose Is a Good Moose-was a complete waste of time for me.
