Tex Avery – What’s Buzzin’ Buzzard? (1943)
1941-1950AnimationShort FilmTex AveryUSADonnie Smith wrote:
What’s Buzzin’ Buzzard follows two starving buzzards who plot to eat one another. Having characters in a desert wanting to eat each other in comical ways has been done countless times, but this short is one of the ones to thank for the trope. The random ways the two buzzards attempt to one-up each other are hilarious and screwy as is typical for an Avery short. Some classic cartoon gags are present, including dressing up as a woman and making a sandwich out of someone’s hand without them knowing. There is even a brief cameo from William Hanna, who provides one of his trademark screams when one of the buzzards is bitten.Read More » -
