English After six years, Tex Avery has gone quail hunting again... And this time not only the result, but also the course of the hunt is much weaker. The 1935 silent film Quail Hunt is brimming with ideas, it's frantic, and the quail are pretty calculating bastards who give the hunter and his stubborn four-legged friend a good amount of trouble. However, in The Crackpot Quail there is only one quail and one very dumb dog that keeps bumping into trees, which is funny the first and second time, but unfortunately not after that. There are not many ideas or much humor... In short, one of Avery's weakest pieces, which probably has something to do with his disgust with the Warner Bros. studio, from which he left for good in 1941. ()
