Awful Orphan (1949)
*** 1/2 (out of 4)
Classic Merrie Melodies short has Porky Pig being taken over by an orphan dog looking for a master. No matter what Porky tries the dog keeps coming back and getting on his nerves even more. I think this here is one of the better known shorts from the series and it's certainly hard to resist its charm. Porky gets to do all sorts of great things and you can't help but feel sorry for him as this dog drives him nuts. It's also nice to see Porky flip out at the end and it can't help but remind you of Daffy whenever he goes off the deep end. The vocal work on the dog is priceless and also very fun. One of the best scenes in the movie has Porky packing the dog up and ready to ship him to Siberia.
