Barnyard Blackout
"Put out that light!" Gandy Goose and Sourpuss are Civil Defense air raid wardens on the home front during World War II. They come across a rooster and his family. The rooster fails to heed the media warnings to prepare in advance for blackout drills and scrambles to find suitable materials to make a blackout room in his house- with covered-up windows and no lights on- when the drill does come with hilarious results.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
The acting in this movie is really good.
Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.
Gandy Goose and Sour Puss are Air Raid Wardens, leading a parade with a a marching song. They are only incidental to this cartoon, however. It's about a rooster named Henry who has not obeyed World War II blackout regulations and the humiliating self-injuries he undergoes as a result of his dereliction in this Propaganda Terrytoon.It's not that this is a poorly made cartoon. The gags are consistent and well executed, and the uncredited voice work is quite good -- Henry sounds like a rooster. It's that this was clearly aimed at Terry's target audience of small children, who would doubtless go home and pester dad about fixing up the blackout curtains. I suppose any chance to make children more annoying was one worth taking.
