Although I have quite a few copies of the piece, I have never been able to get a copy of the version used in the Cartoons. The original tends toward the dark, and can be a bit gloomy, where-as the Mynah Bird version is upbeat while still keeping a light menace to it. I wish that WB would release a full version of it on one of their sountracks.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05114000859210124184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1589696115267272664.post-51663058027839607822013-10-01T22:48:28.625-07:002013-10-01T22:48:28.625-07:00Jones would reuse that little bird in "The Bi...Jones would reuse that little bird in "The Bird Came C.O.D." (1942) with another no-talking character, Conrad the Cat, who had just as much shades of Claude as the little bird here had to Henery Hawk (and I gotta agree on that percentage of resemblance, and, in fact, Jones HIMSELF created Henery also in 1942 for "The Squawkin' Hawk"...). Incidentally, the little theme for the "Henery" bird is rather catchy...StevePokeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15936757752447320636noreply@blogger.com
