Hook, Lion and Sinker (1950)

This short takes a basic premise used often by Disney and others-someone has something another character wants and the rest of the short consists of comical attempts to take away and/or keep said possession. In the hands of Tex Avery, this simple plot can produce The Legend of Rockabye Point, which is a masterpiece. Then there's this cartoon, far more representative of the norm-an average cartoon, humorous in spots, entertaining but not terribly special in and of itself. Which proves the point that it's not the idea that matters, but how it is used. Worth watching at least once.
