My Little Buckaroo

My Little Buckaroo,Catalog of Copyright Entries reissued as My Little Buckeroo, is a 1938 Merrie Melodies short directed by Friz Freleng.
== Plot ==
In 1872, in Boiled Beef, Texas, a thief is robbing the townsfolk of their possessions. After he steals their possessions, he runs to the county line so he can be safe from the townsmen who chase him. He repeats this process multiple times, but one day, a sheriff pig sees his antics and decides to catch him. The thief succeeds in stealing items again the next morning, but little does he know the pig is on his tail.
As the pig is following him, he tries to shoot the thief with a gun, resulting in the thief shooting back. Every time the thief shot back, the pig got a new hat, eventually returning to the old one. The thief looks at the road ending ahead and takes an escalator to escape. The pig follows him and eventually both of them are riding their horses down many sloped hills. They then ride down a large slope.
The pig's horse wants to slide down the slope again, begging his master. His master obliges, but this allows the thief to get away. Though the pig was still on the cliff, as a final attempt to catch the thief, the pig uses his long rope to reel in the thief. Luckily, he succeeds.
Back in the pig's office, he is relaxing. To the left, the thief's head stuck in a wood carving, with the rest of him behind. He tries to get out of it, but he can't.

== Notes ==
* Because the short credits Schlesinger, when re-released into the Blue Ribbon Merrie Melodies program, the original closing title card was kept.
** Though no complete copy of the cartoon with its original opening and closing titles have been released on any home media format, the cartoon does appear with its original ending card on Porky Pig Cartoon Festival Featuring "Nothing But the Tooth" VHS tape, albeit with its original opening titles axed out; however, this only applies to the international (non-USA) release of the VHS tape, as the tape that was released in the United States does not include this short.https://www.4shared.com/video/x1JrtJn-/pp_y_la_fiebre_del_oro.html
* The narrator was voiced by Charles Frederick Lindsley, the pig was voiced by Tex Avery, and the thief was voiced by Charlie Lung.
* This is one of the few Merrie Melodies cartoons released before 1940 not to have an iris-out at the end, having a fade-out instead.
* This is the oldest Blue Ribbon re-release to survive to this day, as "A Feud There Was" was replaced with another reissue. In fact, the WB shield on the Blue Ribbon reissue is the same one as those from the 1942-43 color cartoons.
* The American and European Turner "dubbed" version prints have subtle differences.
** The American dubbed print has red borders while the European dubbed print has none.
** While the American Turner dubbed print alters the 1937-38 rendition of Merrily We Roll Along to that of the 1938-41 rendition, the European Turner dubbed print keeps the original 1937-38 rendition.
* This cartoon was copyrighted on 28 December 1937.Catalog of Copyright Entries
