Foghorn Leghorn's Filmography Timeline

This barnyard blabbermouth got his start in 1946 as a part of the Henery Hawk cartoon "Walky Talky Hawky". His supporting role in this academy-award nominated short launched him on a career of his own. The final WB feature cartoon in which he starred was Banty Raids, released in June 1963. Foggy went on to appear in an assortment of movies and TV spots after the original WB cartoon studio was closed in 1964 - most recently involving a 1999 MCI commercial.

Below is a list of the original Warner Bros Foghorn Leghorn cartoons with some key information included about each production including dates, plot summaries, and the cast of characters. There is also a section outlining his various cameo, movie and TV appearances. If you have any comments, corrections or additions, your feedback is welcome.

Title and Date	Characters	Comments
08/31/46	Foghorn Leghorn Henery Hawk Barnyard Dawg	Academy award-nominated cartoon. Foghorn was first seen in this cartoon and was merely intended as a costar for Henery. Walky Talky Hawky introduced several item which would emerge as running gags to be used throughout future Foghorn Leghorn offerings such as a Foghorn vs. Dawg "prank war", a loud "ahhh shudyap!", Dawg running out of rope, and Foghorn claiming not to be a chicken (he says he is a horse). At the end, Henery winds up dragging off a horse, Dawg and Foghorn since "one of these things has got to be a chicken".
07/12/47	Foghorn Leghorn Sylvester Henery Hawk Barnyard Dawg	Sylvester and Dawg are enemies in this cartoon, who become entangled with Foghorn's attempts to confuse Henery. Once again the young and inexperienced Henery is out looking for a chicken but isn't sure what a chicken looks like. Henery decides to determine who is a chicken (Foghorn Leghorn, Sylvester or Dawg) by watching to see who crows at sunrise.
10/09/48	Foghorn Leghorn Henery Hawk Barnyard Dawg Henery's pop	After Henery's pop tells him that Foghorn isn't a chicken, but is a "loud-mouthed shnook", Henery goes looking for a real chicken. In a bit of a reversal of the usual plotline, Foghorn spends the rest of the cartoon trying to convince Henery that he is a chicken. In the end Henery decides that he'll take Foggy home for dinner - not caring whether he's really a chicken or a shnook.
07/02/49	Foghorn Leghorn Henery Hawk Barnyard Dawg	A standard Foghorn Leghorn cartoon with the standard elements: Henery Hawk looking for a chicken, several verses of Camptown Races, Foggy and Dawg having a "prank war" in which Foggy gets ahead early but eventually loses, Foggy sends Henery after something other than himself (ducks, turtles), and in the end Dawg and Henery work togther to bag Foggy.
05/06/50	Foghorn Leghorn Barnyard Dawg Henery Hawk	This offers many items in the standard Foghorn Leghorn formula: Dawg and Foghorn in prank wars, Henery looking for a chicken, but unsure what a chicken is, Foghorn telling Henery that Dawg is what he wants (a pheasant). One notable exception from the usual is that Foghorn doesn't sing "Camptown Races", but instead does "Old MacDonald" and (briefly) "A Hunting We Will Go". One highlight involves Foggy putting fake "vanishing creme" on Henery, who then thinks his is invisible as he proceeds to sneak up on Dawg.
09/16/50	Foghorn Leghorn Barnyard Cat (unnamed) worm	Foghorn and "Barnyard Cat" spend most of the time fighting over a worm (Cat wants it for fishing, Foggy wants it for lunch). Foggy is at his loud-mouthed peak in this cartoon, as he does all the talking except for one line.
07/28/51	Foghorn Leghorn Henery Hawk Barnyard Dawg Barnyard Cat	Foghorn tells Henery he is too small to want Foggy, and Dawg offers to help for a bone which he can get from Cat for a fish, etc. Foggy inadvertantly helps Henery get what he needs and he drags off the rooster in the end with Dawg's help (the bonehead technique).
wallpaper 09/08/51	Foghorn Leghorn Barnyard Dawg Miss Prissy	After reading the book "Live Alone and Hate It", Miss Prissy sets out to bag a husband, rolling pin in hand while the other hens laugh at her. In this "prank war" Foggy falls behind early, until he is able to get Prissy to believe that Dawg is a rooster in a dog suit. In the end Dawg and Prissy combine forces to get Prissy a husband.
05/10/52	Foghorn Leghorn Kid Banty Barnyard Dawg	After falling off a truck, the pinfeatherweight boxing champ, Kid Banty finds himself at Foghorn's farm. Anytime the Kid hears a bell he comes out swinging, even punching a cow after the cowbell rings (a cowpuncher?). This leads to a series of gags in which Foggy and Dawg try arrange for a bell to ring when Banty is near the other. One rarity in this cartoon is that in addition to Camptown Races, Foggy hums the "This is the way we wash our clothes" tune.
10/04/52	Foghorn Leghorn Henery Hawk Barnyard Dawg Mrs. Leghorn	Mrs. Leghorn orders Foggy to sit on her egg. With Foghorn stuck on the egg, Dawg takes advantage of him. Henery wanders by and Foghorn convinces him to watch the egg while he exacts revenge. Eventually Foghorn gets his lumps from the wife when he is caught neglecting his duty.
08/22/53	Foghorn Leghorn Barnyard Dawg (unnamed) Weasel	The plot revolves around Foghorn and Dawg each using the weasel to to cause trouble for the other. Foggy tries to get Dawg in trouble by letting the weasel get near the chickens, while in return Dawg encourages the weasel to go after Foggy. Eventually Dawg clubs Foggy and leads the dizzy rooster into the weasel's clutches.
11/14/53	Foghorn Leghorn Miss Prissy Barnyard Dawg	Miss Prissy is distraught over her lack of a husband and sets out to commit suicide. Foghorn happens upon the scene and catches her, saving her life and making the hen fall in love with Foggy. Her attempts to attract Foghorn are resisited, so Dawg offers to help her catch the rooster. He dresses up as one himself, and acts interested in Prissy. Foghorn can't stand that Prissy seems to like someone else and Dawg's plan fools Foghorn into competing for her. In the end Prissy gets Foggy for her husband. A very well executed cartoon with good dialog and even an original song by Foggy about Dawg.
06/05/54	Foghorn Leghorn Egghead Jr. Miss Prissy	Foghorn is seeking warming living quarters when he woos Miss Prissy saying he needs her love to keep him warm. She consents to let him in if he'll prove he can be a good father to her son Egghead Jr.. Foghorn's attempts to engage him in various games all wind up the same: Egghead always outdoes him using his genius. Even his paper airplane shoots down Foggy's! Eventually Foggy gives up saying that his bandages will keep him warm instead.
01/15/55	Foghorn Leghorn Miss Prissy Egghead Jr.	Foghorn decides to take it upon himself to make sure Egghead Jr. learns to be more than a bookworm and play like a boy should. But as always happens when those two link up, Egghead Jr. figures a better way to accomplish the task at hand.
02/19/55	Foghorn Leghorn Barnyard Dawg Henery Hawk	Foghorn and Dawg start out with a barrage of pranks, into which Henery wanders while looking for a chicken. Foghorn's pranks start backfiring - the TNT explodes on him instead of Dawg etc. Eventually the rooster's final prank backfires, resulting in a cement-covered rooster, which Henery carries off.
02/11/56	Foghorn Leghorn (unnamed) Weasel (unnamed)hillbilly dog	The chickenyard is threatened by a hungry and hyperactive weasel. Foggy decides to use the little guy to torment the "hillbilly" dog. But the weasel and Foghorn don't work out well as a team as everything they try seems to backfire.
02/18/56	Foghorn Leghorn Barnyard Dawg Daffy Duck	In the only cartoon in which the famous duck (Daffy) and rooster (Foggy) meet, Daffy is a traveling salesman from Ace Novelty who happens upon a prank war between Dawg and Foggy. Seeing this as a great opportunity for sales, he sells trick items to both sides. They catch on eventually however and combine forces to bottle Daffy.
08/25/56	Foghorn Leghorn Rhode Island Red	Foghorn's old college chum, Rhode Island Red, drops in by surprise (they went to Chicken Tech). Red is an incurable prankster who Foggy doesn't want around and he spends the rest of the cartoon trying to get rid of him. Most of the attempts backfire, but he eventually prevails.
05/11/57	Foghorn Leghorn Barnyard Dawg (unnamed) fox (unnamed) small rooster	A fox appears and keeps trying to lure away the two protectors of the hens, Foggy and Barnyard Dawg. Eventually they figure out what is going on and cooperate to out-fox the fox.
05/10/58	Foghorn Leghorn Barnyard Dawg	Somehow Dawg and Foghorn have survived each their activities to make it to old age. The two old friends watch their grandkids renewing the rivalry, which brings back fond memories of their old battles.
09/06/58	Foghorn Leghorn Barnyard Dawg (unnamed) Weasel	A wintertime cartoon, providing a change of scenery for the usual Foghorn-Dawg battles, with an appearance by the weasel thrown in for good measure. Foghorn doesn't deny being a chicken this time, but he convinces weasel that he would rather have other animals instead. Foggy then dresses Dawg in antlers (after telling weasel he wants a deer) and in a girtle (after telling weasel he wants a seal). In the end Dawg winds up sending Foggy up on a rocket.
09/26/59	Foghorn Leghorn Miss Prissy Young rooster	Foghorn tries to help out the eggless Miss Prissy by slipping an egg under her. The egg hatches into a young rooster who immediately wants to displace Foggy. Foggy takes the role of mentor to little guy but his attempts to trick the little rooster keep backfiring and Foggy is sent packing.

03/18/61	Foghorn Leghorn Henery Hawk Miss Prissy	In search of warmer living quarters for winter, Foghorn woos Miss Prissy. Things seem to be going his way until Henery shows up as a foundling on the doorstep. Foggy sets out to convince Henery that he (Henery) is a chicken, but to no avail. His attempts to get rid of Henery also prove to be futile.
07/21/62	Foghorn Leghorn Widder Hen Junior Mr. Cackle	This cartoon puts Foghorn into the role of babysitter for Junior, the son of Widder Hen. As it turns out, Junior is a born trouble-maker who spends the day pulling pranks on Foggy, who eventually decides that the kid is trouble. (Note: In my opinion, this is perhaps the worst Foghorn cartoon.)
10/20/62	Foghorn Leghorn Barnyard Dawg (unnamed) ostrich	Dawg pulls the first prank, putting an ostrich egg under Foghorn, who thinks he is a mother after he notices it. Foggy proceeds to try to raise the ostrich, but Dawg is constantly working to undermine the ostrich's self-confidence. This leads to climatic fight between Foggy and Dawg.
