Porky’s Badtime Story Review

Porky’s Badtime Story is a 1937 animated short film from the Looney Tunes series. It is a very fun film.

This is such a big improvement over the previous film starring Gabby which was ‘Porky and Gabby’. He is still not very likable, but he is at least less aggressive this time around and the interactions between him and Porky were actually much better here and I even thought that they had a good friendship dynamic.

The film revolves around these two having trouble to wake up for work and having in mind that this premise was ripe for laughs, it wasn’t executed greatly and only the ending and a couple of small moments were really funny. But still this is a solid picture which benefits from such strong storytelling, pacing and especially the entertainment factor that mostly stems from Porky and his friend Gabby.

Porky’s Badtime Story definitely is flawed, but also hugely entertaining in its very amusing plot and character interactions.
