==Reception==
Steve Schneider's 1998 ''That's All Folks! The Art of Warner Bros. Animation'' writes that with this short, "the lord of cartoon misrule, Clampett established conclusively that in animation, realism is irrelevant".<ref>{{cite book |last1=Schneider |first1=Steve |title=That's All, Folks! : The Art of Warner Bros.

In the 2001 ''Masters of Animation'', John Grant writes that "this short, in its cumulative effect, is more wildly inventive than anything even [[Tex Avery|[Tex] Avery]] had produced for Warners".<ref>{{cite book |last1=Grant |first1=John |title=Masters of Animation |date=2001 |publisher=Watson-Guptill |isbn=978-0823030415 |page=55 |url=https://archive.org/details/mastersofanimati00gran_0?q=%22porky+in+wackyland%22 |accessdate=23 July 2020}}</ref>

Animation historian Steve Schneider writes, "No mere Looney Tune, ''Porky in Wackyland'' was Warner Bros. [[Emancipation Proclamation]]. Building on the creaky liberties inaugurated by director [[Tex Avery]], here Bob Clampett scoffs and shreds the conventions — realism, literalism, infantilism, cutesiness, and worse — that, with the ascendancy of [[Walt Disney Animation Studios|Disney]], had come to caramelize cartooning. By reminding us of animations' horizons — namely, none at all — this anything-goes film illustrates [[Sigmund Freud]]'s notion that humor arises from breaking taboos. And breaking taboos is something that animation, with its limitless freedom, is uniquely gifted to do".<ref name=greatest>{{cite book |editor1-last=Beck |editor1-first=Jerry |title=The 100 Greatest Looney Tunes Cartoons |date=2020 |publisher=Insight Editions |isbn=978-1-64722-137-9 |page=142}}</ref>
