Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAt one point in the pan of the various denizens of Wackyland, a character with large glasses comes out of a pot and says, "Hello, Bobo." This refers to animator Robert Cannon, whose nickname was Bobo and who did wear big glasses. On the pot are the words "Treg's a Foo", refering to sound effects man Treg Brown. (Foo, incidentally, is a nonsense word from the Smokey Stover comic strip, a big influence on this cartoon in terms of humor and visual style.)
- GoofsIn the Wackyland sign, the words "It Can Happen Here!!" are underlined (with "Can" being double underlined) on close-up, but are not underlined in long shots.
- Quotes
[last lines]
Porky Pig: Oh b-b-boy! I caught the l-last of the D-D-Do-Dos!
The Do-Do: Yes, I'm really the last of the Do-Dos. Ain't I, fellas?
[hundreds of Do-Dos surround Porky]
Other Do-Dos: Yeah, man! Woooooooooo!
- Crazy creditsA paper boy walks onto the title card and thrusts the newspaper with Porky in the front page into the camera, covering the entire screen. After enough time for the audience to read the headline, the camera dissolves to Porky in his plane.
- Alternate versionsThe colorized version is actually censored. The scene where the prisoner behind bars he holds up ends with his complaining. In the original, he's beaten by a jailer. Many characters are cut out, and the ending is completely different.

Featured review
This black-and-white early Looney Tunes cartoon looks different, sounds different...and is terrific.
We read in the "The Globe" that Porky is off on a rare do-do bird hunt, trying to get a bird that is nearly extinct and worth billions of dollars. He flies off to "darkest Africa" and winds up in "Wackyland" where the population is "100 nuts and a squirrel" and the sign that says that audibly speaks to Porky saying "It can happen here!!!!"
With that, we start seeing some really bizarre things regarding the scenery, the characters who inhabit this place and the weird things that happen. It looked a cross between a Salvardor Dali painting and Alice In Wonderful.
Porky is then led to "the last of the do-do birds" and this a one strange bird, who fits right into Wackyland.
This is great stuff, a real visual treat and a cartoon you could enjoy over and over just trying to catch all of the sight gags and great drawings in here. I couldn't help wonder what the audience thought way back in the 1930s. This had to be something really unusual for them to see.
