A wolf, starving to death, runs across a cute little rabbit. The innocent rabbit tries to help the wolf, even though the wolf looks at the rabbit as nothing more than a meal. But just as the wolf is about to strike, he gets an attack of guilt and spares the rabbit. The rabbit then rewards him with a hearty meal and friendship.

The Hungry Wolf

dingdogNovember 21, 2002

Though its running time (as per early M-G-M tradition) is way too long for its story, few cartoons address the problem of hunger during the Depression era as this one. Superb characterization: The wolf's hunger and guilt are extremely convincing.
