What happens

Porky and Gabby is a 1937 American animated comedy short film directed by Ub Iwerks (Mickey Mouse's co-creator). The short was released on May 15, 1937. It is the 85th film in the Looney Tunes series, the 23rd cartoon to feature Porky Pig and the first to feature Gabby Goat. The cartoon was the first of four cartoons for which animation production was subcontracted by Leon Schlesinger to Ub Iwerks' Animated Pictures Corp. studio. When production fell behind, Bob Clampett, Chuck Jones, and Robert Cannon temporarily joined the Iwerks staff to help with the animation. Iwerks was reunited with his former employees, Jones and Carl W. Stalling, on the film. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
