Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With almost no lasting buzz, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Aimed squarely at anyone who wants a laugh and families. Works for the whole couch, from little ones up. Liked Rango? This is a good next one.
The mood
Light and funny, feel-good.
The pace
Bright and bouncy, at 8 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off
  • No age rating on record, so check it first for young kids.
  • Made in 1935: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you can't get past animation (your loss).

Porky and Beans are prospectors during the Gold Rush. When a villain steals Porky's bag of loot, Beans races to get it back so he can marry Porky's daughter Little Kitty.
