"The Good Egg" is a fairly decent Warner Bros. World War II cartoon starring a bumbling navy private named Mr. Hook, and this ultra-quickie attempts, in its own wacky way, to answer a big question: What good is a war bond?
My one favorite sequence in this film involves Hook's good & evil consciences; the former beats the hell out of the latter!
And what about the musical accompaniment? Carl Stalling did his usually masterful job with this cartoon; it just saddens me, as a professional musician myself, that the maestro never received the credit he deserved. Among the popular songs I recognize in "The Good Egg" are "Yankee Doodle" during the aforementioned fight scene, "Any Bonds Today?" when Hook's good conscience tells him to keep saving, and "We're in the Money" when the good conscience shows Hook a pile of spending money for his nest egg.
