chuck jones old glory be an totally serious warner bros. cartoon which typify jones early attempt to emulate disney in it cutesy approach . long than the average warner cartoon and old glory be also notable for it complete lack of gag . a patriotic message cartoon and it feature an apple cheek porky pig a a schoolboy who be bore by his attempt to learn the pledge of allegiance until the ghost of uncle sam explain why it be so important . cue lot of rotoscoped animation of american history . hardly the recipe for a laugh riot and old glory doesn not even try to tickle our funny bone and aim instead for a rousing effect . be neither american or particularly patriotic and old glory be never go to have much of an effect on me and and while i do recognise it a a handsome piece of animation and it a misfire in the entertainment stake . jones would later make some far strong patriotic propaganda film that manage to be both informative and entertaining ( the wonderful so much for so little for example ) but old glory always leave me yell for the love of god and somebody drop an anvil .
