- Synopsis
- Hunky and Spunky is a 1938 animated short film, part of the Color Classics series produced by Fleischer Studios and distributed by Paramount Pictures. Produced in Technicolor, the short revolves around a mother burro and her son.
PLOT: Hunky is a mother burro and Spunky is her young son. This story takes place in the old west, where a prospector attempts to make Spunky into his pack animal. Hunky and Spunky was nominated for the 1939 Academy Award for Best Short Subject (Cartoons). Fleischer Studios went on to produce six more Color Classics cartoons featuring Hunky and Spunky: Always Kickin' (1939), The Barnyard Brat (1939), A Kick in Time (1940), Snubbed by a Snob (1940), You Can't Shoe a Horsefly (1940), and Vitamin Hay (1941). Hunky and Spunky was the only subseries within the Color Classics.
A positive contemporary review of Hunky and Spunky in Film Daily praised the short for introducing "funny new characters," and stated that the short's device of having the animals speak in "donkey talk" "will amuse the kids"
