Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAt one point in the pan of the various denizens of Wackyland, a character with large glasses comes out of a pot and says, "Hello, Bobo." This refers to animator Robert Cannon, whose nickname was Bobo and who did wear big glasses. On the pot are the words "Treg's a Foo", refering to sound effects man Treg Brown. (Foo, incidentally, is a nonsense word from the Smokey Stover comic strip, a big influence on this cartoon in terms of humor and visual style.)
- GoofsIn the Wackyland sign, the words "It Can Happen Here!!" are underlined (with "Can" being double underlined) on close-up, but are not underlined in long shots.
- Quotes
[last lines]
Porky Pig: Oh b-b-boy! I caught the l-last of the D-D-Do-Dos!
The Do-Do: Yes, I'm really the last of the Do-Dos. Ain't I, fellas?
[hundreds of Do-Dos surround Porky]
Other Do-Dos: Yeah, man! Woooooooooo!
- Crazy creditsA paper boy walks onto the title card and thrusts the newspaper with Porky in the front page into the camera, covering the entire screen. After enough time for the audience to read the headline, the camera dissolves to Porky in his plane.
- Alternate versionsThe colorized version is actually censored. The scene where the prisoner behind bars he holds up ends with his complaining. In the original, he's beaten by a jailer. Many characters are cut out, and the ending is completely different.

Featured review
This is almost too wacky - but as long as you remember this Looney Tunes cartoon is supposed to be wacky it can be funny in places. I say this because some of the wackiness in "Porky in Wackyland" seems very silly and almost disturbing, but as long as you see the funny side of it, it is perfectly fine. If you do not like anything that is remotely crazy, wacky or silly, then this will be an utter nightmare for you (if you happen to be being forced to watch it, otherwise, you ought to stop watching IMMEDIATELY).
I enjoyed this episode for its craziness, Porky, the Dodo, the animation and some of the jokes included. I will have to watch this episode a great deal of times before I remember all of the jokes and you probably will have to as well (unless you did not like it).
This episode starts with a newspaper article about Porky going to hunt the last dodo. He goes to darkest Africa (the portrayal of this is not a comfortable one for me, which is odd), to a place "where anything can happen". The population of this area unknown to everybody else is 100 nuts and one squirrel (this is the first proper joke). After this - most things do happen...
I recommend this to people who like old Looney Tunes, Porky and wackiness. Not only is this also worth watching for historical value, but it is surprisingly good for modern audiences as well. Enjoy "Porky in Wackyland"! :-)
