Edgar Allan Pooh . . . why that notorious Male Chauvinist Pig Champion of Lookism, that Fanatically Finicky Professional Judger of Female Pulchritude; yes, the Bozo who can walk in on a Women's Room Full of Stark-Raving Naked Totally Topless and Barely Bottomless Regional "Beauty Contest Winners" simply because HE BOUGHT THE PAGEANT to satisfy his Juvenile Prurient Interests is trying to Smuggle into our White House as America's FIRST LADY a Eurotrash Porn Starlet whom--to paraphrase the Epic Poet Homer--sports a Hardened Visage Tough Enough to Stop One Thousand Battleships in their tracks. As is often the case, Warner's Animated Shorts Division of uncannily prophetic Looney Tuners deftly casts Foghorn Leghorn as Donald J. Duck and Prissy Squarepants as his third wife, Finlandia, in LOVELORN LEGHORN. Barnyard Dog plays the devious Vladimir "Mad Mutt" Putin here, hatching his nefarious plan to install Finlandia (that is, Prissy) as a Fifth Column Mata Hari in Our Lincoln Bedroom. Prissy uses her KGB martial arts skills to box Trumphorn Leghorn into a position with NO ESCAPE, dooming America to a Red Harvest by Barnyard Putin.
Horst in Translation ([email protected]) Weeeelllll.... "Lovelorn Leghorn" is a little cartoon from 65 years ago and as they always do this one runs for 7 minutes as well. It is another Foghorn Leghorn movie, so the voice acting comes from Mel Blanc of course and McKimson and Pierce made it like so many other times too. But i dare say this may not have been their best moment. The comedy here was too gadget-oriented and did not really have that much wit in terms of the characters, also was more loud than funny. Also I wish I would have been more touched by Prissy and how she is a bit of an ugly duckling, but honestly it left me fairly uninterested. Nice ending for her though. But not for the audience. I give this one a thumbs-down.
TheLittleSongbird The Foghorn Leghorn cartoons are always fun to watch. I don't think they are quite masterpiece status but the best of them are enough to make your day whether it was hard or not. Lovelorn Leghorn is not one of the best of the series, some of it is a little slow with a couple of gags feeling a tad too drawn out and the story is not that much of a surprise. However, the animation is fluid and vibrantly coloured, and the music is upbeat and enhances the action, humour and every character expression perfectly. As always with Foghorn cartoons, there is some sharp witty dialogue(Foghorn as always has the best lines). "Your only chance to get a husband is to trap one" is a classic. The gags do work despite them being rather lengthy in development, the rooster trap gag is for me the highlight of the cartoon. Foghorn steals the show, being as interesting and distinctive as ever and Barnyard Dog is a great foil, I always love how he is mix of butt-of-the-joke and craftily vengeful. Both characters are flawlessly voiced by Mel Blanc. Miss Prissy(ably voiced by Bea Benaderet) is a worthy replacement for Henery, though with a different kind of motivation. All in all, solid fun if not quite among the best of the series. 8/10 Bethany Cox
Lee Eisenberg "Lovelorn Leghorn" probably wasn't the best Looney Tunes cartoon ever, but it certainly has its moments. It features Prissy looking for a husband, so Foghorn Leghorn tells her that Barnyard Dog is a rooster in disguise. After a football sequence, Barnyard clarifies everything and helps Prissy build the most whacked-out "rooster trap" ever, the sort of thing that looks like it was dreamed up by Rube Goldberg.It was always neat how Foggy had his hillbilly phrases, and how he and Barnyard liked to razz each other. This cartoon makes OK use of everything, so I have to say about it - to quote Prissy: "Ye-e-e-e-e-es." Pretty good.
