Features I Haven't Got a Hat (1935)

"Behind the Tunes: Porky Pig Roast - A Tribute to the World's Most Famous Ham" was created for Disc 2 of the "Looney Tunes: Golden Collection" DVD. The short documentary assumes that you know absolutely nothing about filmdom's well-known stuttering swine; I already knew most of what they discussed. I had never realized that Porky's stutter was supposed to sound like oinking, or that Porky and Bugs didn't co-star on account of their similar personalities.

So, it's mostly interesting - for me, at least - to see interviews with relatives of the cartoons' creators and Leonard Maltin. Worth seeing, if only once.
