"Bad Luck Blackie" is a color cartoon from 1949, so this one is already almost 70 years old. The director is the famous Tex Avery and Rich Hogan (not as famous) wrote the story. Avery also works as voice actor. It runs for seven minutes as they usually do and I must say I enjoyed the watch for the most part. Especially during the middle, it was downright great and I was tempted to give 4 out of 5 stars. But the beginning and ending are not on par. You could say that this one is basically a collection of very short short films. A little cat gets bullied by a big bulldog, but a black cat comes to help and keeps bringing bad luck to the dog in the most unusual situations, locations and circumstances. But the bulldog is not dumb. Will it help if he paints the cat white? If he carries a horseshoe? Or if he just steals the whistle? Watch for yourself! This is certainly among the better Tex Avery films I have seen and I recommend it.
