Porky ventures into Darkest Africa in search of the last Do-Do bird, and winds up in Wackyland, a surreal place where the sun comes up atop a human pyramid, the Warner Brothers shield comes zooming from the sky, and populated by creatures such as a three-headed Larry Moe and Curly beast. The Do-Do finally appears, to great fanfare, and eludes Porky by pulling out a pencil and drawing himself a door. (imdb)

This is a brilliant use of animation working with in and around the frame, and sublime in subverting expectations (like, you know, gravity).

It's incredibly weird, but also entertaining and has some interesting surrealistic backgrounds and animations.

The Do-Do: "Yes, I'm really the last of the Do-Dos. Ain't I, fellas?"

It's pretty typical in content and form for the era, but my god is beautifully drawn, with a relentless onslaught of gorgeous visual gags.

It's the original version of one of my least favorite Looney tunes shorts (Dough for the Do-Do). And even tho the remake that I hate is almost a shot for shot remake of this I liked this version much much much better.

(Please check out "IT'S A BIRD" BY CHARLES BOWERS which doesn't get the credit it deserves for inspiring this.) A minor classic of surrealism and one of the essential Warner shorts. Almost seems like a fond farewell to the anything-goes style of animated short that was falling out of fashion in favor of more focused and conventional storytelling. The dodo's personality would influence Daffy Duck, who had appeared at this point but in primitive form.

A lot of praise has been heaped upon this cartoon by Robert Clampett, but I tend to find it as bit tedious. The surrealism is definitely unique, but it doesn't disguise the fact that there really isn't much to the story, and the concept goes stale pretty quickly.

Awsome motion/character managed, I loved the never ending scene with all those imaginary elements.

This one of those cartoon shorts that grows on me with every time watching it.

Some interesting visuals (i especially enjoy the black and white animation) but it's not very funny at all. Especially the punchline.

Has gorgeous animation backed up with an amusing premise. Like everybody has said about this short, it's pretty damn wacky.

Very amusing. Almost like what might have happened had Fleischer and Jones worked together.

How imaginative! I think the Fleischer brothers did this kind of stuff better, but still, this is great stuff.

I normally dislike "wacky" humor. The thing that makes it work so well here is, quite simply, the excellent animation.
