Sadly since the MGM hour long block went off of Boomerang, it has been rare to see any classic non-Tom and Jerry animated MGM short. This is why you all need to watch Turner Classic Movies on April 15th. They are airing two of these shorts back to back. They are a 1937 animated short directed by Rudolf Ising called
The Hound and the Rabbit, and a 1942 cartoon directed by Hugh Harmon called
The Hungry Wolf. These are both great cartoons, and it is fantastic to see them on TV. This is a part of an Easter marathon of films with bunnies in them, this marathon also includes three live action films/Those are
Harvey (1950),
The Rabbit Trap (1959) and
Night of the Lepus (1972). The marathon starts at 5:00pm (west coast) and 8:00pm (east coast). The two cartoons [lay back to back starting at 10:15pm (west coast) and 1:15am (east coast). I hope that TCM plays more MGM cartoons in the future, and I will definitely be watching these.
