!!!NEW REVIEW!!!

for the first time since early 1938 (that isn’t a returnee, as is the case with Friz Freleng) Warner’s invites a new director to the stand: Norm McCabe. in spite of such a short career—drafted into the military in late 1942 and the studio reaching capacity upon his 1946 return–he proved to have one of the longest careers out of any of the directors (and being the last to pass away in 2006), even working for Steven Spielberg’s Amblin Entertainment in the ‘90s on such shows as Tiny Toons and Animaniacs to name a few.

having gotten his feet wet co-directing with a Bob Clampett out on sick leave, Robinson Crusoe, Jr. is the first short to truly put his skills to the test: a burlesque of the ever popular Daniel Defoe novel (whose lack of lampooning now is pretty apparent) with Porky as the titular castaway.
