BCDB: Cartoon Reviews: Fine Feathered Friend

It was BEFORE Avery had any real influence on H'B's product, but it's scarcely the worse for it. A bit more leisurely paced than some may like (and the hen looks like a relative of "Tom Turkey's Harmonica Humdingers"); but a solidly-crafted effort, with flawless timing of the ofttimes-painful sight gags. Bill Hanna's early mastery of the ANATOMY of filmmaking is really evident here.
