Porky Pig 101 DVD Cover

Porky Pig 101 is a five-disc DVD set containing all 99 black and white Porky Pig cartoons and two of Porky's appearances in the Technicolor Merrie Melodies cartoons that was released by Warner Archive on September 19, 2017.[1]

This set includes cartoons dating from 1935's "I Haven't Got a Hat" to 1943's "Porky Pig's Feat", all presented in original release order.[2] It also includes several bonus features and audio commentary on key cartoons from animation historians Greg Ford, Michael Barrier, Jerry Beck, and Mark Kausler, among others.[3]

Contrary to popular belief, the new-to-DVD titles are not restored, and use television prints.[4] Consequently, some of the titles are missing and some of the opening and ending music as well as the titles are incorrect.[5]

Notes

  • While all the cartoons in this DVD set are uncut, uncensored, and, for some shorts, presented in their original black-and-white format, there are a few minor flaws on the presentations to most of the cartoons as a result of the new-to-DVD shorts using unrestored prints.
    • Both "Porky the Wrestler" and "Porky's Movie Mystery" retain their abrupt cuts that were thought to be from television, but are most likely edits done before the shorts were theatrically released.
  • Despite "Patient Porky" having already been fully restored and remastered on Looney Tunes Golden Collection: Volume 5 DVD set, the short featured in this DVD set is an unrestored print.
  • Disc 5 had the most number of public domain cartoons compared to the rest of the five discs on this DVD set. There are a total of 26 public domain cartoons in this set, hence this DVD contains the most public domain cartoons of any DVD set. Looney Tunes Golden Collection: Volume 6 DVD on the other hand, had the second most number of public domain cartoons, with a total of fourteen public domain cartoons on that DVD set.

Goofs

  • There are incorrect music cues in the following shorts:
    • "Fish Tales" (Incorrectly use the the 1939-1940 variant of "The Merry-Go-Round Broke Down" with the opening theme from "Rover's Rival".)
    • "Westward Whoa" (Incorrectly use the the 1939-1940 variant of "The Merry-Go-Round Broke Down".)
    • "Porky the Wrestler" (Incorrectly uses the closing titles from "Little Beau Porky" spliced onto the cartoon.)
    • "Picador Porky" (Incorrectly uses the opening theme from "Porky's Tire Trouble" and a different closing theme taken from another cartoon.)
    • "Get Rich Quick Porky" (Incorrectly uses the opening theme from "Confusions of a Nutzy Spy" and a different closing theme taken from another cartoon.)
    • "Porky’s Garden" (Incorrectly uses the opening theme from "Porky's Tire Trouble".)
    • "The Lone Stranger and Porky" (Incorrectly uses the opening theme from "Porky's Tire Trouble".)
    • "Chicken Jitters" (Incorrectly uses the opening theme from "Porky's Tire Trouble".)
    • "Naughty Neighbors" (Incorrectly uses the opening theme from "Porky's Tire Trouble" played twice.)
    • "Porky the Giant Killer" (Incorrectly uses the opening theme from "Porky's Tire Trouble".)
    • "Calling Dr. Porky" (Incorrectly uses the opening theme from "Porky's Tire Trouble".)
    • "Porky’s Hired Hand" (Incorrectly uses the opening theme from "Porky's Tire Trouble".)
    • "Porky's Ant" (Incorrectly uses the 1937 "Porky Signature" theme from "Porky's Railroad".)
    • "Porky's Prize Pony" (Incorrectly uses the 1937 "Porky Signature" theme from "Porky's Railroad".)
    • "Notes to You" (Incorrectly uses the 1937 "Porky Signature" theme from "Porky's Railroad".)
    • "Robinson Crusoe Jr." (Incorrectly uses the 1937 "Porky Signature" theme from "Porky's Railroad".)
    • "Porky's Midnight Matinee" (Incorrectly uses the 1937 "Porky Signature" theme from "Porky's Railroad".)
    • "Porky's Cafe" (Incorrectly uses the 1937 "Porky Signature" theme from "Porky's Railroad".)
    • "Confusions of a Nutzy Spy" (Closes with the the 1936-1937 Looney Tunes closing title with the 1937-1938 ending theme playing over it, with Porky's signature line "T-t-t-that's all Folks!" being cut out. Note: Porky's signature line is uncut on Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 6, Disc 2)
  • Other errors:
    • Near the very end of "Shanghaied Shipmates", where the crew is whipping the villain swimming in the ocean, there are two noticeable glitches on the frames where random squares are on the screen for unknown reason.
    • "Porky and Gabby" has two splices, the first being literally a jump splice from the credits to action, and the second near the end of the closing titles.
    • "Porky's Cafe" has one splice seen after the opening of the cartoon.
    • Several cartoons have the zooming-in of the WB opening shield cut-off (as well as a small part of the opening music cue), such as "Porky and Daffy".
    • Several cartoons are slightly cropped at the edges, such as "It's an Ill Wind", where, on the title card, the edges of the quote marks being slightly cut off on the title of the cartoon.
    • Each of these newly-remastered shorts appear with varying degrees of brightness, contrast, and grain (some look brighter or darker than others) and some do not appear as clear or sharp as the Golden Collection and Platinum Collection restored versions of the B&W shorts.
