"The Ant and the Aardvark" is a 6-minute cartoon from over 45 years ago directed by the legendary Friz Freleng, an Academy award winner at this point, and written by the very prolific John W. Dunn. Unfortunately, cartoons had their best years behind them already and this one here is no exception for how mediocre these films were in the 1960s. It runs 6 minutes and features 2 new characters, the ones in the title. The story, however, is nothing we have not seen in Warner Bros cartoons of the previous decades already, so I am not sure if I am too happy about the Ant and the Aardvark getting many more cartoons in the years after that. i guess I will decide when I watch these. Actor John Byner voiced the 2 characters and he is an exception to voice actors as he has been mostly in "real" live action movies to this point. All in all, not a great watch sadly. Little fun snippet at the end of this review: In Germany the aardvark (sounds like a Nordic or Estonian mythical figure) was voiced by a female actress and called Elise.
