Holiday for Drumsticks (1949)
Holiday for Drumsticks Review
Holiday for Drumsticks is a 1949 animated short film from the Merry Melodies series. It is a weaker flick.
This short starts off great as those first couple of sequences are a lot of fun. Daffy Duck warns Tom Turk that he is a turkey and Thanksgiving is coming. I found that dialogue exchange excellent and Tom Turk here is a lot of fun, even better than Daffy which is odd to say, but that really happened in this instance.
Daffy needed more memorable moments and unfortunately that entire second half failed to live up to the potential of the first half as the humor devolved and simply the entire ending I found very disappointing and not funny at all. They needed a better script for the second half for sure.
Holiday for Drumsticks has a good first half, but later on it becomes much more disappointing leading to the first somewhat weaker Warner Bros. entry of 1949.
