The Wetback Hound
US (1957): Short
Originally released as a 20-minute short subject in 1957, Disney's Oscar®-winning The Wetback Hound was expanded to 48 minutes for its "Walt Disney Presents" TV presentation. The titular hound is Paco, descended from a long and distinguished line of lion-hunting dogs. But much to the dismay of his master, a Mexican barber, Paco is all too easily distracted by other animals whenever he goes out on a hunt. Cowboy star Rex Allen provides the folksy narration for this gentle, laid-back nature study. (Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide)
