Watching "Porky's Preview", I was surprised that it wasn't wackier, given that Tex Avery directed (here he's billed as Fred). But even so, it's still fairly entertaining. The cartoon features Porky Pig showing a group of animals some work that he did as a child. Probably the cleverest gag comes early on: the entry fee is five cents, but the skunk only has one (s)cent.
I get the feeling that this one was sort of a place holder in between the really great cartoons (1941 also saw the release of "Tortoise Beats Hare" and "Wabbit Twouble"). Still, it's always great to see these classic cartoons. Worth seeing. As it's a special feature on the "Sergeant York" DVD, I wonder whether or not it preceded that movie in the theater.
