Jetée The Reforms Location: Rarely, if ever, here or there, but always in transition	1st appearance of Barnyard Dog & Foghorn Leghorn (2nd viewing of Henery Hawk) Walky Talky Hawky Directed by Robert McKimson Written by Warren Foster Released on August 31, 1946 Distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures Watch Online Young Henery Hawk's father regretfully admits their family's shame: they hunt and eat chickens. Henery sets off to find one, and comes across Foghorn Leghorn, where the loudmouth rooster is currently engaged in his favorite pastime, playing tricks on a grumpy dog. Fun Stuff click to show First appearance of Foghorn Leghorn. Foghorn Leghorn was closely based on Senator Claghorn, a character on ‘The Fred Allen Show’, whose trademark lines included, "Somebody, Ah say, somebody knocked," "That's a joke, son," and "Pay attention, boy!" First appearance of the Barnyard Dog (whose unspoken real name, according to the model sheets, is George P. Dog). "So round, so firm, so fully packed" was the advertising slogan of Lucky Strike Cigarettes. Foghorn's line "Open the window, Richard!" is a reference to saxophonist Jack McVea's 1947 hit song, "Open the Door, Richard." The film is mostly notable for being an Academy Award for Animated Short Film Nominee, losing to MGM's Tom & Jerry cartoon The Cat Concerto, which shared one of 7 oscars for the cat and mouse team. Leghorn's imitation of a whinnying horse, effected by pressing a finger against the side of his nose and creating the nasal sound, mimics the technique Mel Blanc actually used to make the sound. __________________ As human beings, our greatness lies not so much in being able to remake the world (that is the myth of the Atomic Age) as in being able to remake ourselves. —Mohandas K.
