The Tex Avery cartoons at MGM are among the very best cartoon shorts ever made. Their insane sensibilities, irreverent attitude and silliness make them all timeless classics and KING-SIZE CANARY is certainly no exception.
The film starts with a hungry cat looking for something to eat in the alley. He looks through binoculars at a house and spots a "Coldernell" refrigerator and figures he can get something to eat there. When he catches the mouse in the house, it tells him he'd read the script and the cat was supposed to eat the canary in the next room! But, when the cat sees that the bird is minuscule, he gets an idea and feeds it "Jumbo Gro" liquid. Now the canary is huge....so huge that the tables are now turned! Well, somehow the dog and mouse get involved and this Jumbo Gro is an amazing product--you take a swallow and almost instantly become huge--leading to a rather cute ending.
The bottom line is that this cartoon isn't exactly "high art" but it's doggone funny. You'll laugh and have a great time, so give it a try today!
