The Little Bantamweight is a 1938 Happy Harmonies cartoon directed by Rudolf Ising.
Plot[]
When his eggs begin to hatch, Papa Rooster (named "Egbert") starts training his little fighters for the big bantamweight match. All the chicks look tough - except for one "mama's boy." Pop tries to forget about him, but when the chips are down, and all the other chicks have been knocked out, "mama's boy" comes to the rescue. The little rooster is thrown into a cockfight (the Golden Spur Tournament for Junior Bantam Weights) after The Champ wipes out a challenger. The runt of the group wins the fight.
