Walky Talky Hawky

Walky Talky Hawky is a Henery Hawk/Foghorn Leghorn animated short film from Warner Bros. released in 1946 and directed by Robert McKimson. All voice characterizations are performed by Mel Blanc.

Storyline
Henry Hawk discusses his cravings with his father, who then tells him he is a chicken hawk and as such must feed on chickens. Meanwhile, in a barnyard, Foghorn Leghorn and George P. Dog are feuding as usual. Henry meets Foghorn, who, seeing the hawk as a potential pawn against George P. Dog, tells Henry that he is a horse and that the dog is a rooster. After a series of pranks and gags where both the Dawg and Foghorn argue over who is a rooster. When the pair's brawl takes them into a barn, a genuine horse forcibly ejects them, clunking their heads together in the process. The two foes, shaking hands to prove solidarity, re-enter to double-team the horse. Finally, Henry captures Foghorn, Gorge P. Dog, and the horse, mimicking Foghorn by saying, "One of these things, I say, one of these things has to be a rooster!"

Trivia
The film is mostly notable for being an Academy Award for Animated Short Film Nominee, losing to Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's Tom & Jerry cartoon The Cat Concerto, which shared one of 7 oscars for the cat and mouse team. Leghorn's imitation of a whinnying horse, effected by pressing a finger against the side of his nose and creating the nasal sound, mimics the technique Mel Blanc actually used to make the sound.
