I love animation, and have been enthralled by it ever since I can remember. I have always had a very soft spot for the classic Hanna-Barbera cartoons. Though they are not as fast paced as Tom and Jerry and the cartoons produced by Warner Brothers, these cartoons are very fun to watch and are filled with a lot of wholesome charm. They also manage to be funny and creative, even though the pacing is slower than the other cartoons from different studios produced around the time, and include many memorable characters that delight and entertain.

The Huckleberry Hound Show is no exception. It has always been one of my favorite cartoons due to its lovable characters, animation style, music, and endearing simplicity. Yogi Bear and Boo Boo, Pixie & Dixie and Mr. Jinks, and Huckleberry Hound are all wonderful and delightful characters, and each is filled with lots of personality.

Of the three segments, my personal favorite is a tie between Jinks' Mice Device and Sir Huckleberry Hound. They are both very clever and fun. Huckleberry Hound and Mr. Jinks especially delight, they are excellent here and make me laugh and smile from ear to ear. The ending to Sir Huckleberry Hound especially made me laugh, and the villain in the segment was funny as well. I love Mr. Jinks' cunningness and perseverance, and Huckleberry Hound is pleasant, mild-mannered and great as always. Though a step down in quality from the previous two segments, it being not quite as hilarious or innovative, Big Bad Bully still has a lot of good things, and Yogi Bear and Boo Boo are always fun to watch. The voice acting by Don Messick and especially Daws Butler is terrific; they do a stellar job at bringing each character to life by voicing them. They can speak in a wide range and variety of tones, giving a distinct vocal performance for each different character.

The animation is wonderful. The beautiful colors, background art and character designs have always stood out to me. These things make the Hanna-Barbera cartoons very distinct from the cartoons produced by other companies, and I find so much charm in what the show has to offer.

Concluding, it is a wonderful episode that entertains. Hanna-Barbera fans (like me) will absolutely find joy in watching it.
