Dumb-Hounded
Dumb-Hounded is a 1943 American animated short film directed by Tex Avery and written by Rich Hogan. It was the first cartoon to feature Droopy. The film was released on March 20, 1943 by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. Plot. A wolf escapes from Swing Swing Prison (a parody of Sing Sing Prison). Many bloodhounds are freed to search for him, but one of them, Droopy, remains behind and informs the audience that he is the hero of the story. He initially moves very slowly, but he still quickly finds the wolf who tries to escape from Droopy throughout  the picture. At one point, he even flees away from Droopy by boarding a taxi, a train, a ship, and an aircraft. However, everywhere he flees, Droopy pops up and sarcastically greets the wolf. Ultimately, Droopy ends the pointless chase by dropping a huge boulder on the wolf's head and crushing him. When Droopy receives his reward, he jumps about in complete enthusiasm, only to pause and inform the audience, "I'm happy".
