Merrie Melodies Cartoon Walky-Talky-Hawky - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I found a Merrie Melodies cartoon that appears to be circa 1940's-50's called Walky-Talky-Hawky and when I saw this cartoon I couldn't believe that there was a cartoon with my name on it. From what I learned about this cartoon is that it marks the first appearences of Foghorn Leghorn and Henry Hawk. Was this a rare gem of Merrie Melodies cartoons and is it considered the top cartoons of Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies? I was so surprised that this cartoon had my name in the title

Henery Hawk first appeared a few years earlier than this cartoon, which is from 1946. It is the first Foghorn Leghorn cartoon though.

Besides being the first Foghorn cartoon as Biff mentioned, it was also nominated for an Oscar.

Walky-Talky-Hawky was the first Merrie Melodies cartoon to be nominated for an Oscar? I find that hard to believe because only movies get Oscars. What is Walky-Talky-Hawky about? From what I saw Henery Hawk likes to talk a lot and Foghorn Leghorn teaches him a lesson about not talking so much. Is Henery Hawk's nickname actually Walky-Talky-Hawky?
Thank you very much for the interesting info Charles

There's an Animated Short Oscar category. The first Warner cartoon nominated was "A Wild Hare" in 1940, and the first Warner short to win an Oscar was "Tweetie Pie" in 1947.

The Warner shorts had relatively few Academy wins, compared to Disney and MGM (MGM primarily for Tom and Jerry shorts).

I can't get over how this Merrie Melodies cartoon has my name in the title and when I saw Walky-Talky-Hawky I had to smile and laugh. My dad has known to call me Walky-Talky Hawky sometimes when I can't stop talking a lot which I dislike because i'm known to be a chatterbox around people and when I get real excited I get really loud and holler a lot. Too bad that cartoon doesn't spell Hawky with two e's though. It would've been a lot cooler don't you think?
