Robert Reynolds This is a cartoon in the Gandy Goose series produced by Terrytoons. There will be spoilers ahead: While I actually like the characters of Gandy Goose and Sourpuss, I wasn't terribly impressed by this particular short. It's a premise so old it has whiskers past its knees and it was past retirement when they made it in 1945.It starts with various animals in the jungle running at the sound of an approaching plane. When the best gag in the opening is a tiger outrunning his stripes, that's pretty sad and it probably won't get that much better before it's over. While that isn't the high point of the cartoon, you can see it from there. The only animals not afraid of the hunters are a group of inquisitive skunks.Gandy and Sourpuss as big game hunters isn't a new idea by a long shot. The trouble here is the gags aren't all that funny. There's an extended gag with an obnoxious ape and Sourpuss which is decent and a nice action sequence with a rhino, but the sequence with the obnoxious ape's mother is trite and predictable.Worth watching once.

They usually delivered on the laughs, and this one is no exception.However, the next set of Terry stars was on its way. Within three months, two talking magpies would show up on the screen...
