Reviews for The Good, the Bad, and Huckleberry Hound




Lady Iapetus Spoilers

One of the things that Hanna-Barbara was famous for was churning out movies that got together the whole gang from the old animated shorts (Yogi Bear, Boo-Boo, Snagglepuss, etc) for an adventure. Most were kind of sappy.

This is not one of those movies.

The setting is the Old West, California during the Gold Rush. Two-Bit is a boomtown inhabited by such personalities as Hokey Wolf, Yogi and Boo-Boo, Snagglepuss, Quickdraw McGraw and Hokey Wolf. And of course, Huckleberry Hound, the reluctant sheriff who's been charged with bringing the Dalton gang to justice. This movie is a direct spoof of old spaghetti westerns, particularly Clint Eastwood's "The Man With No Name" trilogy.

I'd reccommend this movie to anyone who is a fan of the old-school Hanna-Barbera, and especially anyone who is a fan of Huckleberry Hound. Its nice to see ol' Huck get top billing in a movie after many years of service to H-B, as well as finally get the girl in the form of the Indian maid Desert Flower.
