Northwest Hounded Police (1946)

This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

best movie i've ever seen.

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Another Droopy cartoon where the dog is the calm, slow-talking, yet witty and is sharp as nails. He drives an escaped convict crazy, showing up in every place the convict tries to escape to, resulting in hilarious facial expressions from the criminal .It's non-stop fun and laughter, sure to bring smiles to everyone's faces. It's entertaining!Grade A

Love animation, it was a big part of my life as a child, particularly Disney, Looney Tunes and Tom and Jerry, and still love it whether it's film, television or cartoons.Also have much admiration for Tex Avery, an animation genius whose best cartoons are animated masterpieces and some of the best he ever did. Generally like the Droopy cartoons and the character himself a lot, his best cartoons are classics and among Avery's best. Both these distinctions, of it being one of Droopy's best and Avery's, are true for 'Northwest Hounded Police'. It is only Droopy's fourth cartoon and he is already a character so well established in personality and manages to be both lovable and very funny.The Wolf is a villain that has menace and great comic timing, with brilliantly animated and priceless reactions, whether it's the facial expressions or his body language, some of the best in the whole of animation definitely. 'Northwest Hounded Police' is yet another endlessly inventive and hysterically funny cartoon in a way that is unmistakably Tex Avery.Avery does a wonderful job directing, with his unique, unlike-any-other visual and characteristic and incredibly distinctive wacky humour style all over it as can be expected.'Northwest Hounded Police' is deliciously wacky, it is also incredibly clever, imaginatively creative and full of inspired visual gags, play on words and hilariously droll asides and deliciously corny puns. It's essentially a one-joke cartoon but has so much variety and imagination that it never becomes repetitive.It is no surprise either that the animation is superb. The character designs are unique, Avery always did have creative character designs, and suitably fluid. The music, courtesy of Scott Bradley, is lushly and cleverly orchestrated, with lively and energetic rhythms and fits very well indeed.Voice acting is very good from Bill Thompson and Frank Graham.Overall, an animated masterpiece. 10/10 Bethany Cox

Tex Avery's tenure as director of cartoons for MGM was in the 1940s and 50s was one of the brightest moments in cartoon history. His cartoons were exceptionally inventive and surreal with MANY weird touches that were later celebrated in the movie THE MASK. Eyes popping out when a guy sees a girl, impossible stunts and non-stop action were the trademarks of these films.This is one of several Droopy cartoons that Avery was responsible for and it's among his best. Droopy is a Mountie and he is determined to get his man,...though in this case it's a wolf who has escaped from prison. Throughout the film, despite many insane stunts, Droopy keeps up with this crook until eventually the wolf gives up because Droopy is seemingly everywhere! Full of funny gags and loaded with laughs, this is a great cartoon.

Come on. Anyone who doesn't understand the greatness of this here cartoon should be kicked off any critic's panel. They should not be allowed to be heard, because they obviously have no sense of humor whatsoever. Anyone who does not love this here animated cartoon directed by Tex Avery should be chained to a chair and forced to watch "Huckleberry Hound" episodes for 20 years straight! The takes and double-takes by the Wolf in this cartoon are the finest examples of this important past of comedy that have ever been captured on film. Tex Avery should receive a posthumous Academy Award for this cartoon. It's the best.
