 Porky in Wackyland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Porky in Wackyland is a 1938 animated short film in which Porky Pig goes hunting through a surreal Salvador Dalí-esque landscape to find the Do-Do Bird.
The film is celebrated for its surreal humor, such as when Porky is chasing the bird, it disappears and suddenly the Warner Brothers shield emerges from the horizon's vanishing point, as it typically did at every cartoon's beginning, and complete with the standard stretched "boing" of the violin string.
A Technicolor (and partially Cinecolor) remake of Porky in Wackyland was supervised by Friz Freleng in 1949, and re-titled Dough for the Do-Do.

He was originally teamed with a trouble-making little cat named Beans (Porky and Beans-get it?), but the partnership was discarded when the likes of Tex Avery, Bob Clampett, and Frank Tashlin began using Porky in their cartoons and fleshing out his personality.
Porky Pig took the stage in Friz Freleng's showcase cartoon I Haven't Got A Hat and instantly distinguished himself from the crowd of characters in that film.
Overall, though, it's Porky's endearing nature and blushing naiveté that add up to a guileless character whose trademark "That's all Folks!" is as much a cultural icon as the cartoons themselves.

In "Dough", the brick that hits Porky in the head after he crashes into a brick wall is delayed a few seconds by a parachute instead of simply falling on his head in the original.

 In Remembrance- Norman McCabe
Norm McCabe, the last of the directors from Warner Brothers' “Golden Age of Animation” who worked on the classic short Porky In Wackyland (1938) in addition to scores of other cartoons, has passed away on January 18, 2006.
It was with Clampett and fellow animator Izzy Ellis that McCabe helped to create the classic cartoon Porky In Wackyland, whose almost surreal sense of humor helped to mold the direction of Warner Brothers’ cartoon output for the next two decades.
Since McCabe had already co-directed two Porky Pig shorts with Clampett – The Timid Toreador (1940) and Porky’s Snooze Reel (1941) – he was given the reigns of Clampett’s old unit.

 Bob Clampett
Nevertheless, with the exception of such cartoons as Porky in Wackyland (1938), Polar Pals (1939) and The Film Fan (1939), Clampett's often rudimentary early work is eclipsed by that of Avery and Frank Tashlin.
The extremity and undisciplined quality of Clampett's later Warners' cartoons can be partly elucidated by his working method; he commonly only illustrated the extremes of a character's expression, increasingly using this role as a means to stretch the corporeal and gravitational boundaries of his films' worlds and his characters' bodies.
This is illustrated in such freewheeling cartoons as Baby Bottleneck, where the bodies of Porky and Daffy are almost liquid in nature, constantly reformulating, sharpening and flattening to demonstrate the emotional and physical extremes the characters are going through.

Beginning as an artist on the earliest Merrie Melodies cartoons, Clampett moved through the ranks to become a top animator in 1934 and a director in 1937.
Instrumental in the development of Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck and Porky Pig, Clampett created many mainstay characters such as Tweety, Beaky Buzzard, Gremlins, and the Do-Do.
Although Beans got top billing, Porky was a hit, and subsequently became Warner Bros. first cartoon star.

Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig and a host of less stellar players are instructors at Acme Looniversity, where students as young as American middle-school kids (12-14) learn the fine arts of stretching, squashing, and getting hit on the head by falling anvils.
But the old guys weren't stars of the show — in fact, most of their irregular appearances were mere cameos.
The way this was explained was, each of the younger toons had chosen a special favorite teacher, mentor and role model, hence the resemblance.

In fact, Porky in Wackylandhas often been confused with President McKinley Inauguration Footagebut they are indeed separate, and the National Film Registry will record this fact for all eternity.
