Porky's Five & Ten

A newspaper dated March 24, 1938 shows that Porky is setting sail for the Boola-Boola islands, with hopes of opening a five-and-ten-cent store. A swordfish cuts a hole in the ship and all of Porky's goods fall out. The fishes make use of them, and instead Porky opens up a Hollywood nightclub, which consists of fish-impersonated celebrities. Porky is ultimately saved when a water-spout restocks his ship.

Censorship[]

For unknown reasons, all prints of the redrawn colorized version cut the ending in which Porky sprays a fish with seltzer water.^[4] It's been theorized that the original print used for the redrawing process had a splice causing the abrupt ending, though no official word has been made.

Notes[]

The tin of sardines labeled "Cannon Brand Sardines" is a reference to animator Robert Cannon.
This cartoon uses the song "Hooray for Hollywood", with one part of the lyrics changed from "Go out and try your luck, you might be Donald Duck" to "Go on and try your luck, you might be Daffy Duck", likely changed to avoid the mention of the Disney character. Coincidentally, the same thing happens in the short released prior to this one, "A Star Is Hatched".
