==What Makes Them Ensemble Dark Horses?==
*There presence serves as a much-needed comic relief in a serious film about unlikely friendship between two characters who were supposed to be enemies by nature, which helps balance out the sadder aspects.
*Younger viewers who were scared of the gunfire practiced throughout the film easily fell in love with this pair of characters and dubbed their presence the best thing about the film.
*The slapstick that these two endure is very Roadrunner-esque, with Boomer even standing in midair after pecking off the branch he is standing on, before suffering gravity.
*Boomer gets bonus points for having the same voice as Tigger from Winnie the Pooh, Dick Dastardly from Wacky Races, and both Sam-I-Am and Guy-Am-I from Dr. Seuss on the Loose, courtesy of the late Paul Winchell.
