Porky's Super Service is a 1937 Warner Bros. Looney Tunes animated short film directed by Ub Iwerks.[3] The short film, starring Porky Pig, was released on July 3, 1937.[4]
The cartoon was the second of four cartoons for which animation production was subcontracted by Leon Schlesinger to Ub Iwerks' Animated Pictures Corp. studio.[1] It was also the last short in the contract that Iwerks himself completed production and direction of; Schlesinger aniamtors Bob Clampett and Chuck Jones, on loan-out to Iwerks, completed supervision of the final two cartoons themselves.[1]
Plot
Porky Pig works at a gas station and has to deal with a brat baby that won't stop bothering him, such as getting him stuck in an engine.
Colorized versions
This cartoon was colorized in 1968 via being retraced and repainted in color. This version had every other frame redrawn, which affected the animation quality. It was later computer colorized in 1995; this version preserved the original animation.
Home media
The short film was released on the Kid Galahad DVD, along with two other Warner Brothers cartoons Egghead Rides Again and I Wanna Be a Sailor. It is also available on the five-disc Porky Pig 101 DVD set.
