Production notes
This film is a sequel to "At Your Service Madame."
This cartoon is Piggy Hamhock's final appearance.
Said to be the first cartoon with Friz Freleng's "hold the onions" gag.
In September of 1943, beginning with A Feud There Was, Warner Bros. began re-releasing select color cartoons in their Blue Ribbon program. Typically the Blue Ribbon reissues received new opening sequences with Blue Ribbon title cards and standardized music. Cartoon production credits were also removed. Between ten and fifteen cartoons were released in any given year, with cartoons coming from as far back as 1935. The reissues continued until the close of the studio in the 1960's.
All Blue Ribbon cartoons were released as "Merrie Melodie" cartoons regardless of the original series. The first "Looney Tunes" short to be included in the Blue Ribbon series was The Hep Cat, which was added in 1949. The only current prints of many of these cartoons are the Blue Ribbon releases, although restoration of these cartoons with original elements and titles is always ongoing.

Pigs is Pigs
Hi Anonymous Cartoon Lover, I have similar feelings about this cartoon! I saw it once as a little kid, on TV in the 60s, and I never forgot it. I also was mesmerized and enchanted by Porky's gluttonous appetite and being fed more and more and more without even having to lift a finger, and how fat he was at the end. . .and the fact that he was still hungry after all that food :). Wish we could talk about it.

Absolutely loved this cartoon "Pigs is Pigs" as a child and just recently revisited it. For me, I enjoyed seeing Porky indulge in so many delicious treats without lifting a finger - food came to him.
I also enjoyed his new well fattenned and round, soft figure - a trophy for delicious eating and being well fed. Even when he was full, an appetizing turkey called him to take another bite. Would love to see it on TV again. Thoroughly excites me.

I remember watching this with my brother when I was about 10 yrs old. The scene where piggy explodes had us rolling on the floor with laughter!

Just like a song you hear that you really like, this cartoon keeps going through my head. If anyone knows how I could get a copy of this cartoon, I would deeply appreciate it. At any rate, this is an awesome cartoon and if you have seen it, you know what I mean.

I have had this cartoon in my memory for a long time...well, not too long compared to other people who saw this in the 30's ;-) I was a small child in the early 1980's when I saw this cartoon and it messed with my head every since. ;-) I was surprised to finally find exactly what it was on this website.

This cartoon gave m nightmares for years! I saw it when I was @ 5, @ 45 years ago.I was determined to never overeat, but to eat normally, to not overdo or obsess about anything. So far, it's worked!
