My Little Buckaroo, reissued as My Little Buckeroo, is a 1938 Merrie Melodies short directed by Friz Freleng. It was released on 29 January 1938.
Caricatures:
Andy Devine - singing pig
Don Wilson - "I never get to do anything"
Notes:
Because the short credits Schlesinger, when re-released into the Blue Ribbon Merrie Melodies program, the original closing title card was kept.
Though no complete copy of the cartoon with its original opening and closing titles have been released on any home media format, the cartoon does appear with its original ending card on Porky Pig Cartoon Festival Featuring "Nothing But the Tooth" VHS tape, albeit with its original opening titles axed out; however, this only applies to the international (non-USA) release of the VHS tape, as the tape that was released in the United States does not include this short.
The narrator was voiced by Charles Frederick Lindsley, the pig was voiced by Tedd Pierce, and the thief was voiced by Mel Blanc.
This is one of the few Merrie Melodies cartoons released before 1940 not to have an iris-out at the end, having a fade-out instead.
This is the oldest Blue Ribbon re-release to survive to this day, as "A Feud There Was" was replaced with another reissue. In fact, the WB shield on the Blue Ribbon reissue is the same one as those from the 1942-43 color cartoons.
The USA and EU dubbed prints have subtle differences.
The USA dubbed print has red borders while the European dubbed print has none. Both prints alter the ending music cue.
The original ending titles survive on a French dubbed A.A.P. Print. However, the Turner dubbed version is on LaserDisc.
