The Draft Horse is a Warner Bros. Merrie Melodies cartoon directed by Chuck Jones. [1] The short was released on May 9, 1942. [2]
The title is a pun on draft horse and the draft (conscription).
A farm horse sees a poster that says the U.S. Army needs horses. The horse goes to the recruiting station and tries to volunteer, but is eventually rejected, labeled " 44-F". Leaving the station dejected, he wanders into a wargames situation, and the flying bullets frighten him so much he makes a dash for home. At the end, he is serving the war effort in another way, knitting " V for Victory" sweaters for the boys overseas.
The short uses multiple music cues for several scenes. This includes:
The EU Dubbed Print Uses 1937-1938 MWRA Over Dubbed Ending Card While The USA Dubbed Print Uses 1938-1941 MWRA
