Before our feature presentation, ACME would like to start the evening with the first Porky Pig Merrie Melodies cartoon, the 1935 I Haven't Got a Hat, directed by Friz Freleng.
This short marks the debut appearances of Little Kitty, Beans, Ham and Ex, Oliver Owl, and most famously Porky Pig. Many of the characters in this short were given their own shorts, to see if they were good recurring characters. WB particularly focused on Beans, to no avail, as Porky's stuttering successfully stole the show.
In celebration of the Lunar New Year, today's episode of The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour is sponsored by Gucci:
Throughout the film, viewers see two families glimpsing each other through a shared window over the years. It’s a nod to the subtle traditions and rituals that remain over time.
We are just starting the Lunar New Year celebrations and we're sure you may already need a break from your family. Here at ACME, we can think of no better way to relax than watching a comedy about trying to get home. The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour would like you to join us in watching comedy actor Xu Zheng as a disgruntled businessman in this timely lunar new year movie, Lost On Journey. A road movie much like the Steven Martin and John Candy film Planes, Trains and Automobiles, two unlikely accomplices find themselves making their way home during the busiest time of the year in China, Chunyun. So push away from the table, get comfortable and enjoy the film.
Director Yip Waiman delves deep into the Spring Festival phenomenon, and actors Xu Zheng and Wang Baoqiang shine as comic geniuses.The story is typically heartwarming, as Xu Zheng’s character Li finds himself getting drawn into zany adventures with Wang Baoqiang’s first time flyer Niu Geng, which eventually help to draw out his own ideas of what is important to him in his life.
