Here, more simply packaged is a DVD already in the collection in a larger jewel case with a date of 2006. Since the front cover is identical with the jewel case, I will show the back cover here, appropriately smaller. As I wrote on that version, produced later but viewed earlier by me, to my surprise, the title cartoon "Foney Fables," second among the seven cartoons here, features several fables. It was directed by Fritz Freleng in 1942. In GA, the cicada answers the ant's critique of being lazy by pulling out a series of war bonds. He will not starve! By the way, I noticed this time through that there is no reference at all to music as the grasshopper's activity. He just rests. BW interrupts the series of reinterpreted stories several times. The last time has us encountering not the obnoxious laughing boy but a laughing wolf picking his teeth. The wolf in sheep's clothing meets a second wolf in sheep's clothing already working this herd. The goose who laid golden eggs has converted to aluminum eggs, to help the war effort. By the way, Mother Hubbard's dog turns her in to the authorities. It turns out that she has been hoarding food! Good color.
