Charlie Dog's Best Gags - The Awful Orphan (1949) Review

Video version available on YouTube. Please note that certain sections may not translate well to the audio only format.

In this episode, we review 'The Awful Orphan,' a classic Looney Tunes short directed by Chuck Jones and released in 1949. Joined by my good friend @blugenesi, we discuss the film's plot, where Charlie Dog tries to convince Porky Pig to be his owner, along with trivia and our favourite gags. We share our thoughts on why this short is funnier and more refined than its predecessor 'Little Orphan Airedale' and appreciate the subtle animation and Mel Blanc's voice acting.
