Porky’s Naughty Nephew Review

Porky’s Naughty Nephew is a 1938 animated short film from the Looney Tunes series. It is a weak short.

This is basically one of those Porky Pig cartoons where the focus is on Porky being a victim and this time around he is tormented by his very annoying cousin. I honestly like the victim formula more than most people out there, but this one is weaker than most of the previous offerings and for many reasons.

Certainly it is energetic and mostly well executed plus the animation is good, but the cousin is a forgettable new character and Porky here is even less memorable or endearing than he usually is. But the film just doesn’t have any quality, truly great gags and thus it is an entirely forgettable offering.

Porky’s Naughty Nephew has a forgettable title character and a lack of strong gags to make it more memorable.
