Billy Boy (1954)
9/10
Does It Matter Whether The Moon Is Made Of Green Cheese?
12 June 2021
Tex Avery's wolf -- voiced by Daws Butler in a southern drawl -- gets a goat, which proceeds to eat everything in sight, and out of it too.

Although this lacks the polished graphics of Avery's early work at MGM, he even has some fun with that. There are lots of things with circular motion, but they're all out of alignment, offering a defiant fist against the usually smooth, and cheaper to animate, of such objects. Other than that, it's a fine example of Avery filling his cartoons with gags that vary on a single theme, without getting in the least tired.
