oscaralbert Review of Weasel Stop

Weasel Stop (1956)

Warner's obsession with "numbered feathers" . . .

[5/10 · 10 October 2015]

. . . continues in WEASEL STOP. It seems like every other outing featuring either Daffy Duck or Foghorn Leghorn Rooster involves an explosion or varmint plucking Daffy or Leghorn nude (save for their boxer shorts), after which the bare bird says, "Fortunately, I keep all my feathers numbered." That begs a question. I might keep all my toothpaste tubes--past and present--carefully enumerated, but what good would that do once all the white stuff has been Squooze out? Next time you take your Thanksgiving turkey out of your oven, try inserting all of its feathers BACK into the holes you carefully numbered when you plucked it. See for yourself if "Tom" suddenly becomes the "life of the party." Jeffrey Dahmer "experimented" for years on all creatures great and small in his parents' basement before he moved up to humans. I think the Hollywood Cold Case Squad should try to correlate the whereabouts of the Looney Tunes "numbered feathers"-obsessed writer with the Blue Dahlia Murder Case and similar unsolved Kinkster Killings.
