Westward Whoa is a 1936 animated short film in the Looney Tunes series.[1] It marks the final appearances of spotted St. Bernard puppies Ham and Ex, Beans and Little Kitty.[2] It is also the last cartoon where Porky Pig is the co-star to Beans. The film is a Western adaptation of the ancient fable "The Boy Who Cried Wolf."

The film is in the public domain after Warner Bros. failed to renew the copyright in 1964.[3]
