Review of Quack-a-Doodle-Doo

In honor of the recent death of Sid Raymond, the voice of Baby Huey, Mark Evanier showed Huey's debut cartoon on his website. Huey's mother had been so desperate to have a child that she took a lot more than the prescribed amount of pills to induce pregnancy (which only recommends one per day). So is born the enormously huge character that would star in his own animated series for theatrical company Famous Studios throughout the '50s. As in subsequent entries, Huey creates well-meaning chaos wherever he goes causing him and his mother to be banished from society. But then a fox comes and Huey, not knowing what he's dealing with, manages to defeat him with his own brand of "playtime" that exasperates his opponent. So Huey and his mom gets a welcome parade in their honor. The end. This is my second viewing of a Baby Huey cartoon and I'm still a little amused though I can see the creator's reliance on formula that usually marks a series blandness that also marked Famous' other short series like Casper and especially, Popeye the Sailor. Still, undiscriminating kids should still be amused...
