Seldom has the Apocalypse been so thoroughly depicted in a cartoon . . .

Warning: Spoilers
. . . as it is here in PLENTY OF MONEY AND YOU. On its surface, PLENTY OF MONEY is a simple story about a hapless ostrich in a flock of chicks. But what do ostriches have to do with money, unenlightened viewers may quibble, and how does a Black Hen give birth to eight normal chicks and an ostrich, anyway?! However, those "in the know" will tell you that PLENTY OF MONEY actually has NOTHING to do with ostriches, and EVERYTHING to do with the 2016 U.S. Presidential Election. Warner Bros.' warning division of Animated Shorts Seers (aka, the Looney Tunes prognosticators) use the Black Hen birthing an ostrich gambit to symbolize the Fox-in-the-Henhouse-like Advent of Billionaire White House Resident-Elect Rump rising to the top by perpetuating the Racist Birther Movement. The Weasel trying to cook Rump's goose, of course, in meant to foreshadow the Russian KGB Rat Vlad "Mad Dog" Putin himself, would-be Czar of Moscow, Crimea, and the USA. Realizing that desperate tactics are needed to get out of a predicament that's his own fault, Rump the ostrich swallows tons of fireworks, which shake the very ground when he unleashes them, thus foretelling us that Rump soon will be forced to nuke Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, Mexico, and probably tiny Monaco, for good measure (that little Principality's zoning board nixed a proposed Rump Tower Casino). Then all Hell will break loose.
