moral of the story --------- bullies get their karma when the "picked on" have enough and turn the table around returning the humiliating things done to them instead. done me good to see the rooster get his karma in the end and the other farm critters backed off accepting rupert in the end.
I do not see how funny it is to plunge a child's head into a container filled with liquids or to make a chain of spankings for no reason. I thought that in 1940 they had a better kind of humor.
