The Early Bird Dood It!

This was a Tex Avery M-G-M cartoon that I just watched on the Girl Crazy (Garland/Rooney version) DVD. The worm (who it seems sounds and acts a little like Lou Costello) is trying to get away from the early bird but, of course, he's not easy to get rid of. So when a cat is chasing a mouse in his view, the worm convinces the feline to chase the bird he wants to rid himself of. I'll stop there and just say what you expect from Tex based on his many cartoons, you'll find here as well like signs stating the obvious or unexpected endings. This was one he made after immediately leaving Leon Schlesinger's studio and it's safe to assume if he hadn't, Hanna-Barbera's Tom & Jerry cartoons would have probably not been as outrageous as they eventually got. So on that note, The Early Bird Dood It! is very much worth seeing.
