A Hound for Trouble (1951)
Awaiting More Charlie Dog on Volume 5
This was very funny. I love him holding the attention of those on the sidewalk in his cartoons and later holding up the leaning tower of Piza in this short. I hope WB includes more of these cartoons from the late 40's through the 50's which are among their funniest thanks in a huge part to Michaels Maltese's stories, Chuck's timing and Mel's characterizations. Maybe I am biased as I grew up on Maltese-cartoons being 43 years old, but I find that his sense of humour far surpasses the novelty and slapstick style of early cartoons. I hope that volume 5 of the Looney Tunes Golden Collection will contain some more of obscure characters. This is not to say that Bugs and Daffy should take a back seat to them, I just think the tunes from the early days have been well represented in the first 4 volumes and it is time to lets enjoy the wit, timing and voice of three legends from the 40's and 50's.
