Interesting facts

Get Rich Quick Porky is a 1937 American animated comedy short film directed by Robert Clampett. The short was released on August 28, 1937. It is the 90th film in the Looney Tunes series, the 28th cartoon to feature Porky Pig and the third and final cartoon to feature Gabby Goat.

Production

Chuck Jones, later to be famed as a director, is credited as animator on the short, whose working title was The Oily Bird Gets Porky. Get Rich Quick Porky marked the fourth and final short Clampett, Jones and Robert Cannon worked on while on loan from Leon Schlesinger Productions to Ub Iwerks' Animated Pictures Corp. Iwerks had directed Porky and Gabby and Porky's Super Service before quitting the project.

Unlike the two Iwerks films and Porky's Badtime Story, which were written at Schlesinger primarily by Cal Howard, the storyboard for Get Rich Quick Porky was devised entirely by Clampett himself at Animated Pictures. Howard did work on Get Rich Quick Porky as the voice artist for Gabby Goat. Following completion of the short, Clampett, Jones, and Cannon returned to the Warner Bros.
