This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

Love animation, it was a big part of my life as a child, particularly Disney, Looney Tunes and Tom and Jerry, and still love it whether it's film, television or cartoons.Also have much admiration for Tex Avery, an animation genius whose best cartoons are animated masterpieces and some of the best he ever did. 'What's Buzzin Buzzard?' may not be one of Avery's best, or among his funniest or most imaginative cartoons, but it's still well made, a lot of fun and an interesting look at rationing during the war. A war period cartoon that succeeds at entertaining and informing. Even when Avery was not at his best (like understandably when he was first starting out), he still delivered, have yet to see a bad cartoon from him.'What's Buzzin Buzzard?' has great animation as always for Avery. Very rich in colour, the backgrounds are meticulously detailed and the character designs are distinctively Avery in style and are fluid in movement. The music, courtesy of Scott Bradley, is lushly and cleverly orchestrated, with lively and energetic rhythms and fits very well indeed, even enhancing the action.Even with the serious subject of rationing there is enough of Avery's wild deliciously looney humour to make it a very funny cartoon, which helps things from not getting preachy. All the content is paced in a lively fashion, and the dialogue is both witty and informative.Can't fault Avery, whose style is all over, nor the dynamic voice acting and the very engaging characters (the Jimmy Durante Buzzard being particularly well done).In conclusion, very well done. 8/10 Bethany Cox

Entertaining, lively, over the top, breakings of the fourth wall –- yes, a typical Tex Avery cartoon, but this is one of his better productions. Aimed at the male audience of the war years -- there is short wolf-whistle sequence -- the cartoon is made more interesting by its references to food rationing and the war:• The juicy steak at the start and end -- an expensive commodity during the war• A sign that says "No Points", referring to a particular food (a rabbit in this case) requiring no points• Meatless Tuesday -- a reference to President Wilsons call during World War 1 for every Tuesday to be meatless.• One of the buzzard's mouths is "Closed for the Duration" – a reference to the WW2 poster that people's mouths should be closed because loose talk can cost lives.A informative short called "Point Rationing of Foods", explains the rationing system, and is worth a look.

A very fast paced 'toon from the master of mayhem, Tex AveryNothing is sacred as fun is poked at all the wartime shortages as 2 buzzards search high and low for something to eat, fighting over the rabbit they have caught, the stone painted to look like a rib eye steak resorting to even eating each other, watch out for the "drooling time" allowed for the picture of the steak dinner. The 'toon is probably not politically correct in these modern times so it is doubtful if it will get shown on t.v today, but keep an eye out for it, it is available in the DVD format as part of a Tex Avery box set issued in France where Tex has a big following......Enjoy !
