I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

" . . . bottled duck," concludes Warner Bros.' recommendation about--in Mitt Romney's words--the "con man" who mesmerized 47% of American Voters to go totally Looney Tunes in 2016, despite numerous Warner Bros. warnings against Molester-in-Chief Rump. But what can YOU, an ordinary American, DO against he whom Ted Cruz labeled as a "con artist," who now has millions of jack-booted government thugs at his beck and call? How can YOU bottle up the threat posed by he whom Marco Rubio called a "tiny-roostered Fraudster" (if you substitute the four-letter C-word synonymous with rooster)? Start in your own backyard, as THE HIGH AND THE FLIGHTY shows Foghorn Leghorn and Barnyard Dog dealing with the "New York Values" (by way of Walla Walla, WA) of fast-talking con artist Daffy J. Duck. No one since Hitler has assembled such a rabid pack of mad-dog killers as Rump with his first half dozen "Cabinet" selections. When Rump's American murder toll segues from the hundreds into the thousands (making Weasel Bush's 12,000 dead from 9-11, Afghanistan, Iraq, and Katrina seem like "small change"), write out a Citizen's Arrest Warrant for your neighbor with that Rump\Scents bumper sticker, or that annoying door-to-door Rich People Party campaign solicitor. Then arrest them for Conspiracy to Commit High Treason. There may or may not be a market for FLIGHTY's "bottled duck" now, but surely one will develop soon for bottled Rump Stakes.

Foghorn Leghorn's never-ending feud with Barnyard Dog continues in this Bob McKimson short that also stars Daffy Duck. Daffy's a salesman who stumbles upon the farm where the rooster and dog are going at each other for the millionth time. He quickly sees an opportunity to exploit this and supply items to both parties to use against each other. I'm apparently in the minority as I didn't love this one. There are some funny moments but something is just off about it all. The voice work, courtesy of the legendary Mel Blanc, is wonderful. Nice animation with bright colors. Whimsical music from Carl Stalling. I wish I could rate it higher but it just didn't impress me much. It's OK but nothing special.

All of Foghorn's cartoons are great fun to watch. The High and the Flighty is no exception, it is quite possibly one of his best actually. And it is not just because of the presence of Daffy, though he is one reason why. The animation is lovely to watch. The backgrounds are fluid and detailed, all the characters are well drawn and while there is vibrant colouring the use of darker shades make sure that it isn't ever too saturated. The music again enhances the action wonderfully with lush and lively orchestration and a perfect matching of gestures, facial expressions and sounds. The writing is sharp and witty, Foghorn's word repetition for example is still endearing, and the gags- revolving mainly around Daffy selling Foghorn and Barnyard violent items- imaginative and highly amusing. The story is fast paced and always maintains interest, it was nice with the inclusion of Daffy to have something different from the norm. Even if the ending is like a slightly different variation than what you see in other cartoons from Foghorn, in terms of humour it is hardly a let down. All three characters are on top form. Daffy is in greedy mode, which not many people like- though this is a different type of greedy than seen in his outings with Speedy Gonzales, and a more subtle type- though his effortless charisma really shines through. Foghorn excels also just by what he does best without it ever becoming tiring, and Barnyard likewise both as the butt of the joke and a cunning and vengeful barnyard dog. Mel Blanc is fantastic as you'd expect. To conclude, a lot of fun. 9/10 Bethany Cox

I quickly interpreted "The High and the Flighty" as an allusion to the incidents in geopolitics when a superpower sells mutually hostile groups the same weapons and plays them off against each other, much like how Daffy Duck sells both Foghorn Leghorn and Barnyard Dog the same kinds of gadgets. A specific example in real life is that the US basically sold India and Pakistan nukes, and they seem to have been threatening each other ever since. "Divide and conquer" some people call it. No surprise that Foghorn and Barnyard eventually wised up to Daffy's shenanigans.I'm probably reading too far into this cartoon. It was probably just intended as nice, zany entertainment. It sure came out hilarious. So check it out.
