Porky's Hotel (1939)
8/10
Porky is open for business
13 June 2018
This time around, Porky operates a hotel and gives a traveling goat a place to stay, but a young duck starts making trouble. Like many Bob Clampett cartoons, "Porky's Hotel" features some rubbery stuff and the occasional gag. It's not the funniest short that Warner Bros. animation turned out, but enjoyable enough for its few minutes. I read in a book that while Disney would often spend up to $60,000 to produce each Silly Symphony, Warner Bros. only allotted $9,000 for each cartoon, and even less went into the cartoon's production once Leon Schlesinger took his cut. This makes one appreciate the effort that went into each cartoon. Clampett's direction, Carl Stalling's music and Mel Blanc's voice work - as well as the Rhymettes' singing - make this a good one. I recommend it.
