Featured review
Funny, but an odd cartoon, even for a Tex Avery
This short is quite funny, but it's an odd one, even for Avery. Part of a series of shorts featuring two characters called George and Junior, most of this centers around the activity of a very small pygmy, somewhat reminiscent of Inki from the Warner Brothers shorts. Unlikely to be in general release due to caricatures, it is worth hunting down nonetheless. Recommended.
