"Wagon Heels" is a 1945 Looney Tunes cartoon, starring Porky Pig and directed by Bob Clampett. It is a remake of a 1938 Porky Pig cartoon also directed by Clampett, "Injun Trouble"note not to be confused with the 1969 Robert McKimson cartoon of the same name.The cartoon opens in 1849, with a map showing a sliver of land on the Eastern Seaboard labeled "USA", with all land to its west labeled "INJUN JOE'S TERRITORY". Porky is leading a wagon train to California and is warned to watch out for a Native American "Super Chief", named Injun Joe. Along the way, both Porky and Injun Joe are repeatedly interrupted by a goofy bearded hillbilly named Sloppy Moe, who keeps repeating, "I know something I won't tell, I won't tell, I won't tell!" to the tune of "London Bridge is Falling Down"... | |

Bear Trap | |
| Wagon Heels / int_2a9b1de6 | comment |
Bear Trap: One scene has a trap catch Injun Joe by the leg, but, being virtually invincible, he feels nothing. In response, Joe bites the trap with his just-as-sharp teeth, sending it whimpering away like a dog. | |

Vocal Evolution | |
| Wagon Heels / int_2ef005ab | comment |
Vocal Evolution: While Sloppy Moe's or Porky's voice had little changes, Injun Joe's voice is most changed one. before, he has a deep voice in the original 1938 short. in the colored remake "Wagon Heels" though, he has a raspy voice instead. | |

Shout-Out | |

Shout-Out: "Super Chief" Injun Joe is a play on the famous Santa Fe train run of the same name (a frequent reference in WB cartoons), and reinforced by each character spouting smoke and crying "Woo-woo!" like a steam locomotive, each time they say Injun Joe's name. | |
