A baby hen sees a lot of food on the other side of the fence. To get to it, he has to scare away a scarecrow by using a kerosene lamp and burning its stuffing.

I Wish I Had Wings

If you want to see many of Looney Tunes&apos; early cartoons that have NOT been colorized, I was surprised to find them on HBOMax...which is where I found &quot;I Wish I Had Wings&quot;.

The story is set on a poultry farm, where you see ducks and chickens doing various funny things such as chase worms. I certainly wouldn&apos;t consider any of this hilarious, but for the early 30s, this is pretty typical. He edginess in cartoons we&apos;ve come to love and expect mostly came in the 1940s.

The story is about little black chick who doesn&apos;t seem to get any food due to all his brothers and sisters. So, when he sees crops just over the fence, he wants to have wings so he can fly to the feast...though if you look, he IS small enough to just squeeze through the chicken wire fence! Oddly, once he makes it, he&apos;s chased by a scarecrow and in the end, the chick is able to outthink him.

All in all, a big improvement over most Looney Tunes films of the day because it is reasonably funny and the singing isn&apos;t as ubiquitous as it usually was. My score of 7 is relative to other cartoons from 1932...and by today&apos;s standards it&apos;s still a bit limp.
