The Hound That Thought He Was a Raccoon

Standard, vastly enjoyable fun from Disney's Tru-Life Adventures, concerning a hound and a coon dog.

Rex Allen narrates in his Good Old Boy voice and the photography and animal tricks are up to standard. Although by this point, it was no surprise to anyone that the Disney series was staged with trained animal, more than half a century later, this is still highly watchable for young and old alike -- although those of middle years may be too sophisticated to admit to any pleasure in these matters.

The music is by Bill Lava, who is best remembered these days for his music from Looney Tunes in the 1960s and DePatie-Freleng later on. Given a budget and an orchestra, he offers the listener good accompaniment.
