Snake Preview
Now I doubt people will actually find this short, along with other Blue Racer shorts, but I luckily found it in 16mm format.
So far, the only Blue Racer episode I saw, but it's not so bad. The Blue Racer snake is hunting for an egg but the clumsy bird (from "Tijuana Toads" series) tried to eat him. Eventually, he spots a bumble bee and decides to change his menu. Unfortunately, the bee tries to sting him and also keeps running into the bird.
This doesn't beat "The Ant and the Aardvark", but some of the lines are pretty funny and the end was funny, too. I think Cartoon Network should've aired Blue Racer instead of "Hoot Kloot".
