Watch The Foghorn Leghorn For Free

You won't be disappointed!

There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

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

"The Foghorn Leghorn," directed by Bob McKimson, is a very good Warner Bros. cartoon starring Henery Hawk, Foghorn Leghorn, and Barnyard Dog. Henery's dad tries to dissuade him from pursuing chickens, but Henery, being a chicken hawk, has never even seen a chicken and is filled with a great curiosity. He decides he HAS to see for himself just what a chicken looks like and subsequently capture it for supper.My favorite moments from "The Foghorn Leghorn" include the following. When Henery's dad tries to steal some hens, the hens all react in horror; one hen in particular drops dead to display her rather unglamorous knickers. In trying to prove himself a chicken (and NOT a loudmouthed schnook) to Henery, Foghorn Leghorn speaks in his usual overbearing Southern drawl and repeatedly applies some wildly exaggerated gestures to inadvertently beat up on Barnyard Dog, whom Henery mistakes for a chicken.All those who get a big kick out of Foghorn Leghorn will appreciate this self-titled cartoon, in which that bigmouthed rooster really gets a chance to shine. It's especially funny to see Foghorn display an overly confident demeanor, only to have his bravado backfire on him every time, thus making a jackass of himself.

Little Henery is a young chicken whose dad won't let him hunt for chickens yet and he's frustrated. "I'm a chicken hawk and I've never even seen a chicken," he complains. His dad has been telling him how huge and ferocious chickens are, to discourage him, but Henery decides enough is enough....he's going looking for his first chicken! (It turns out, as Henery's dad explains to the audience as he lurks outside of Ferndale Farms, "I hated to tell Henery falsehoods about chickens but a kid would only be in my way.""You're probably going to hate me for what I am about to do but, after all, I am a chicken hawk," he tells us....than goes inside the coop and begins with a loud Dracula-type laugh- sound which terrifies the chickens but is very funny. However, from that point, that's the last we see of Dad as the big rooster, "Foghorn Leghorn," enters the picture and takes over from there, battling the little chicken hawk in a war of words more than anything else.This was very good animated short with some clever comedy bits and great dialog from "Foghorn." I'd like to hear more from him.

I'll admit I love the look of Foghorn Leghorn but I hate his cartoons. Come on, they are ALL the same. It'll start out a normal day on the farm then that annoying bird will come along and say 'I'm a chicken hawk' a hundred times. Foghorn will pretend to not be a chicken but get clobbered anyway. The impartial barnyard dog will get involved and they'll repeat the same unfunny joke over and over until the 7 minutes are up. Am I right or am I right?This was the routine EVERY Foghorn Leghorn cartoon followed and I have never liked, even when I was a little kid. This cartoon is notable for being the first appearance of the Rooster but for no other reason.

Foghorn Leghorn was on of the lesser stars at Warner Bros., but he was still one of the biggest cartoon stars from the mid '40's for the next 20 years. In this, his third short, once again Henery Hawk can't get it straight on what a chicken is supposed to look like, and anyone who has seen one of these classic Robert McKimson Fogorn/Henery cartoons knows the drill, and the gags in this one are very much par for the course. Also included is the Barnyard Dog, while not indispensable to this particular series, added a lot to them with his gruff matter-of-fact attitude. Besides, he was the only one who never failed to see Foghorn for what he really was, a loudmouth shnook.
