'''''Porky In Wackyland''''' is a [[The Golden Age of Animation|1938]] [[Looney Tunes]] short, made by director [[Bob Clampett]], has [[Porky Pig]] going off on a quest to [[Darkest Africa]] to find the legendary Do-Do bird, for a cash reward of 4,000,000,000,000 dollars <ref>P.S.: 000,000,000</ref>. Upon arriving, he discovers the Do-Do's homeland: [[Cloudcuckooland|Wackyland]], an unbelievably insane place where nothing makes sense and ''anything'' can happen.
