Promotional poster

Pullet Surprise is a 1997 six-minute Looney Tunes short released in theaters with Cats Don't Dance. It was produced by Chuck Jones Film Productions.

Plot

Pete Puma is trying to raid the hen house Foghorn Leghorn is guarding. Foggy decides to have some fun with Pete. He tells Pete what he really wants is a Venezuelan Racing Chicken which has unfortunately run back to Venezuela. Pete runs there and back in jig time. Next, he really wants an Irish Wrestling Chicken, which turns out to be a rope tied to a bull's tail. When Pete makes off with a chicken, nest and all, Foghorn grabs the chicken, then says Pete's found the rare Mongolian Disappearing Chicken, and the only way to make it reappear is tap dancing. Pete dances into a hole. Foggy drops an anvil on Pete's head ("a whole lotta lumps!"). Foggy walks away, chuckling at his cleverness, when a genuine Irish Wrestling Chicken pins him ("I'm glad I didn't show him the Norwegian Exploding Chicken").

Notes

• Since this cartoon was produced after the death of legendary Looney Tunes voice artist Mel Blanc, the voice of Foghorn Leghorn is supplied by Frank Gorshin. Stan Freberg still voiced Pete Puma, after voicing him in the 1953 short, "Rabbit's Kin".
• The bull resembles Toro the Bull from "Bully for Bugs".
