Picador Porky

Picador Porky is a 1937 Looney Tunes short directed by Fred Avery.
== Plot ==
Porky and his two friends are in a Mexican town. It just so happens that it is the same day as the annual bull fight. They are told that the winner will get one thousand dollars. They decide that Porky will be a bullfighter, and his two friends will be the bull. When Porky enters the ring he doesn't fight his friends, but a real bull.

== Notes ==
* This is the first cartoon to feature the voice of Mel Blanc. He performs the voice of one of Porky's friends when he gets drunk and several incidental characters.
* Porky would bullfight again three years later in the 1940 cartoon "The Timid Toreador".
* MeTV aired a previously unreleased restored print of this short on Saturday Morning Cartoons. However, it uses a fake cutaway from the title card to the start of the cartoon.
*The Opening Doors sequence is reused later in Porky in Wackyland.
