Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Benas Mcloughlin Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Dawalk-1 This is one of the Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies shorts I remember watching years ago well. When Nickelodeon, TBS, and TNT used to air these cartoons, as well as those by MGM in the 1990s. I didn't have many favorites in this series growing up, but I think this is among my favorites, both as a one-off and among those in either series in general, as well as favorite '50s cartoons and those directed by Chuck Jones. One day, the unexplained happened. Other than arriving by ship, an abnormally small, adult, bull elephant comes seemingly out of nowhere and wanders around a large city (maybe somewhere in New York). Almost every person and animal he encounters along the way causes them to react the same way, which is freak out at the sight of a rather unusually miniature-sized elephant, faint, or flee, and finding that weird. Out of all of those moments, my most favorite part is when he's in the apartment home of Marsha, Jennene, and John. If nobody had seen him for themselves, they would've never believed it as the saying goes, "seeing is believing". It must not be so far-fetched after all if more than one individual has come across it. Once that happens, most everybody is convinced and they haven't gone mental after all. There's no explanation how nor why this elephant is not like other, average-sized elephants, nor even where it came from exactly (other than Africa), but I guess that doesn't really matter. Most everyone's fright and puzzlement may be the point of what makes this so greatly entertaining, in addition to this mystery. One reason why I love this so much and more than Jones's more recognized shorts, such as One Froggy Evening, is because of how much it seems to poke fun at surrealism and its self-reference to that. In how in this everything seems to be normal until the elephant arrives. Recommended, I've always enjoyed it.

Edgar Allan Pooh . . . but few if any viewers in the 1900s would have sensed that Warner Bros.' Looney Tuners intended PUNCH TRUNK as a warning parable, or been able to decipher all the Real Life Chaos packed into PUNCH TRUNK's seemingly innocuous seven minutes. Warner's always Prophetic Animated Shorts Division obviously uses the image of a rat-sized 5" Bull Elephant stalking the streets of a major U.S. city to trumpet the advent of D.J. Trump. The "Picayune Pachyderm," as Warner labels it, is an accurate True-to-Scale Life-Sized Comparison of the Elephant Party's Giant-Souled first President, Abe Lincoln, and its would-be final POTUS, the small-spirited Trump. That the Party of Big Game Hunter Teddy Roosevelt could degenerate into the current rabble led by a self-proclaimed P - - S Y Stalker/Grabber, and that Ronald "Tear Down This Wall!" Reagan's Bunch would decay down to a mob led by a GAME SHOW HOST ranting about erecting Huge Walls of our own would have been as unfathomable to the I-Like-Ikers as it is Today to the Heavenly Host. Warner tried to warn us, but the Angels are Weeping, anyway.

Lee Eisenberg I originally saw "Punch Trunk" in the compilation film "Daffy Duck's Quackbusters", and I've now seen it in its own form (or should I say "I SEEN IT!"?). It was one of Chuck Jones's many completely outlandish shorts during the Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies heyday. My interpretation is pure conjecture, but I get the feeling that the cartoon may have been an allusion to things like the possible UFO landing in Roswell; it seems like the sort of thing that could never happen, but what if it could? Just how would we respond if a five-inch-tall elephant started walking around the city? But like I said, that's just my interpretation. The cartoon was probably intended as pure entertainment (and it is fairly funny, if not Jones's best cartoon ever). As it's not readily available on video or DVD, you can watch it on YouTube.

James L. Screwy one shot in which a tiny elephant escapes from a banana boat and causes havoc on a town, raiding a doll-house , a bird-bath, and a circus, among other things. It's funny mostly for its surrealism , and not because of the humor. By Chuck Jones , the famous animator. He made a series of one-shots during the late-40s' to mid-50s', which this is one of.
