Since we've been posting a bunch of links to cartoons posted on YouTube, I thought I start this thread for the purpose of linking to interesting cartoons that has been posted on the site.

Here are a bunch of 1960s Paramount cartoons that were taped from "Glen Michael's Cartoon Cavalcade." It has live action skits bridging the cartoons.

Part 1 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NF1wg77F8bw) - "Robot Rival" with Zippy Zephyr and the opening credits to "Swifty and Shorty" cartoon "Fix That Clock."

Part 2 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zk7IYE1EnEY) - the rest of "Fix That Clock."

Part 3 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UmNIlrLI1t8) - "Tell Me a Badtime Story" with Goodie the Gremlin

Speaking of 1960s Paramount, Jerry Beck posted "Marvin Digs," directed by Ralph Bakshi, over at Cartoon Brew.

When I first saw Siskel and Ebert on Sneak Previews on PBS, I wondered why they were using the theme to Max, The 2000 Year Old Mouse.

The narrator on these cartoons (if you can call them that) is the wonderful Bernard Cowan. My wild guess is the mouse is Paul Soles.

Glad to see someone else discovered these like I did! Those cartoons bring back some memories for me having to catched them on Nickelodeon in the 90's (how or why they aired them I'll never know).

Jerry Beck was a programmer for Nickelodeon back then. I remember him posting on an older version of the TTTP that the executives wouldn't let him show the Bill Dana/Jose Jimenez cartoon. (But they did let him show the "Geronimo and Son" cartoons.)

Hmmm, then I guess I outta thank him for exposing me to something I can't even find on the Black Market! Somehow I remember the Jose Jiminez cartoon actually show up on Nick at some point or another (they used to air them in a separate block once, but they also showed up first on a Sunday program called "Total Panic" and a later show hosted by Marc Weiner, "Weinerville"), but perhaps I saw that cartoon elsewhere, but I shouldn't have given the scarcity of said property. I managed to pick up at least one of the Culhane-era shorts on 16mm years back, love to hunt down more.

I found a couple of films you really hardly see anymore.


The last theatrical "Sidney" cartoon from Terrytoons, Driven to Extraction (1963): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TieFbHWtE6s

and the truly "trippy" closing to the series Kid Power (1972-74): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BEpx0qjgkRo

Nice to see Sidney up somewhere. Does anyone have any more of those later Terrytoons to put up? (Specifically, the ones that still retains the original credits)

The rather infamous Popeye cartoon "Barbecue for Two."

Here are two of the three Willie Wimple anti-pollution segments that Abe Levitow directed for Sesame Street in 1972. Note that he also co-wrote the memorable song:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oINOdrweVMI

[cbrubaker]

Wow, this guy has all the "Capitol Critters" up (http://www.youtube.com/profile_videos?user=honestwolf).

This was a prime time series done in collaberation by Hanna-Barbera and Steven Boncho Productions and was made as a result of the success of "The Simpsons."

It was very short-lived. In fact, of the 13 episodes produced, ABC cancelled it after airing only 7 episodes. Cartoon Network later picked it up and aired all 13 episodes.

Even though it was from Hanna-Barbera, the style is very different from what were used to from the company.

[Studio Toledo]

Really Charles?? It's on an "unauthorized" DVD out there...;)
From the looks of it, perhaps more a case of someone just having the chance to tape them when they aired or there had been a commercial release in that country (whatever prints they use is pretty cool since they have the Transamerica UA logo on them).

The language might be from somewhere in the former Yugoslavia (perhaps Croatia). That's the only clue I'm going on.

Here's another episode (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ew5yQVEog3w) the same user uploaded!

FF

[Tom Stathes]

I tried doing that on the first two...hopefully it's less distracting.
My intent in using youtube is only to expose this kind of animation to a larger audience and increase my customer base--not just for personal gain of course; any time the latter increases, I'm able to acquire more films.
Unfortunately, many only rely on low-res online videos and do not financially support those who painstakingly make these films available (I'm not speaking just for myself, but for others as well).
At least one person has gone ahead and bought some DVDs after seeing my youtube stuff.

I noticed that there are two prints of "Super Mouse Rides Again" on Youtube. One is pretty splicy with no title, but near the beginning our hero signs an autograph book as "Mighty mouse" (in new footage). The other version has "Mighty" titles, the narrator's word Super is redubbed as Mighty, BUT our hero signs the autograph book as "Supermouse". I wonder how these two version got mixed up over the years...

I've always thought the beginning of the Capital Critters pilot where the family gets killed is really disturbing.
I've only seen the episodes aired on NBC, I should check out the rest. The whole concept of the show is strange. It's cartoony and adult at the same time, but there's very little appeal story and characterwise. Except for that lab rat that exploded all the time, he's hilarious.

The complete opening and closing of YOGI BEAR with the Kellogg's tag is on Daily Motion in color. Another surprise is both the 1958 and 1959 closings to HUCKLEBERRY HOUND. The 1958 version has the opening and closing. The 1959 closing is slightly different, and designates the official time when Hanna-Barbera Productions was elevated from the original H-B Enterprises started in 1957.

FISH POLICE was a good idea that was misdirected in so many ways. First of all, John Ritter did not have the right voice for the lead character. Second, for something that was promoted as "Fish Noir" as a corny play on Film Noir, it was too brightly colored. Doing it in black and white would have been novel. The stories were lost on me since the voice casting was so bad, I couldn't really follow any of them. Top it all off, I was amost hired on that series, but when I reported to work on April 1st, 1991, they had moved the production to Canada. APRIL FOOL! Considering the outcome, I don't think I lost anything by not being associated with that show.

Being reminded Fish Police was loosely based on a graphic novel which looked nothing like the show that had it's title (having found one of those books once at a local shop).

Incidentally, Capitol Critters was aired on ABC, not NBC. The spring-sumemr of '92 was a rather interesting year for those that thought they could replicate the success of the Simpsons with these shows (also Family Dog that aired on CBS).

Heres one of the two "Yuckie Duck" cartoons that was created by Pat Ventura for the "What a Cartoon?" show. Ventura was also responsible for the George and Junior revivals on the same show, as well as writing the three Roger Rabbit shorts made in the early '90s. If you want an example of a truly hideous, ugly cartoon, then you're in luck.

Also from the "What a Cartoon?" show, is Seth MacFarline's proto "Family Guy" short, "Larry and Steve", with the two characters having more or less exactly the same voices and character of Peter and Brian. Visually it looks much better than how "Family Guy" eventually turned out.

I feel the same way about most of the "What a Cartoon!" pilots that were spun off into their own series, excepting "Dexter's Lab" and "The Powerpuff Girls". The first Johnny Bravo cartoon (didn't Seth MacFarlene work on this also?) was a lot funnier than any of the ones that followed, as was "Chicken from Outer Space", the original Courage the Cowardly Dog. Both shorts had a sort of sophisticated quality which was lost when they were transferred to full time shows.

Who knows what went into this (the dialog is very Macfarlane while the direction is so Hartman).

Kinda find it amusing some people actually like Larry & Steve more than Family Guy. I wouldn't blame 'em, I think this was far better than what came out a couple years later (which for it's time stunned me as I still remembered this cartoon when I heard those voices and characters and made the connection).

Of course, there's also Macfarlane's student film of interest (where Family Guy's humor had it's genesis)....

For the first time in over 14 years, I've watched some old Yogi Bear cartoons on Youtube. I have to admit, these cartoons are kind of boring now. Yogi's one-liners are funny at times (particularly when he's confronting Ranger Smith and getting all political). But the cartoons are just too kiddie for me to really enjoy them like I used to. Unlike Looney Tunes, most of Yogi Bear's jokes catch on to you even as a kid. Making the cartoons seem rather shallow in comparison. I dunno, may be I just don't have a heart. But I can't really get into these cartoons like I used to.

Thanks for posting that! I've always wanted to see a Little Lulu cartoon (actually, this one specifically), and now I finally had the chance. Although you're right in that LuLu's nanny is a pretty good indication of why I've never been able to see this cartoon on television.

Hmm... Tubby was at the party. I've seen a lot of vintage cartoons—but not many Paramount Lulus. Are there many with him in them for more than, say, a second of screen time?

Tubby is called "Fatso" in BEAU TIES (voiced inevitably by Arnold Stang). He has a nightmare about being married to Lulu.
He's been in a few. One I can think of is "Bored of Education" where he kept screwing with Lulu over answering questions on American history to the point the teacher had her sit in the corner of the classroom with a dunce cap while she has a dream involving her and Tubby chasing each other through the pages of history. Tubby eventually gets his comuppence right in the end.

[Leviathan]

Hmm... Tubby was at the party. I've seen a lot of vintage cartoons—but not many Paramount Lulus. Are there many with him in them for more than, say, a second of screen time?

I've seen all but 4 of them (it's soon going to be only 3) and aside from that, Beau Ties, Bored of Education and the brief cameo in Musica-Lulu, he's not in any more of them with him in it.

I'm Looking at Lulu's Birthday Party now. The opening is not present, but a brief UM&M-redone Animation card appears advertising credits from Dave Tendlar's unit (with John Gentilella, Joe Oriolo and Morey Reden credited as animators).

Those animation credits perfectly match those of Lulu Get the Birdie, of which I have a copy with original titles, but I've never seen the UM&M print of it. Does anyone know if the animation credits are those for Lulu's Birthday Party or if they come from Lulu Gets the Birdie?

The closing sequence...with all the lights flashing and ultimately exploding...has a way of getting in your head and never getting out! All that's missing in comparison to my own memories is the segue into a Program Exchange logo at the end.

It's on the now out-of-print DVD "Walt Disney Treasures: Mickey Mouse in Living Color" as an easter egg on disc 2. Yon can find it on Ebay, but the sellers usually price it over $100. For a cheaper way, your local library might have it, but make sure the discs are not scratch badly, which they usually are.

Oh I have the DVD, I just never found the easter egg. Thanks man.

EDIT: Interesting cartoon. Funny how Nabisco's packaging hasn't really changed much in the past 70 years. And to top it off I was incredibly impressed by the use of shading for scenes on Minnie's porch.

If only the Ritz box. Most other products have seen design changes periodically over time. Strangely enough they still make Social Tea Biscuits yet I hardly ever see those!

And to top it off I was incredibly impressed by the use of shading for scenes on Minnie's porch.
It was a little startling if only because they had the wad to pull it off for it's time (you only wish commercials in the theaters would be this charming, European countries often got very elaborate to avant-garde types of advertising in those days)!

[CueBallCat79]

The Milk Bone dog biscuits box still looks similar. As do the boxes of animal crackers. And it's strange to hear Minnie say a brand name like "Fig Newtons" in a 1939 cartoon.

It was a little startling if only because they had the wad to pull it off for it's time (you only wish commercials in the theaters would be this charming, European countries often got very elaborate to avant-garde types of advertising in those days)!

Again, I first saw the shaded scene with Mickey on YouTube. Not always the best way to see anything and it had me thinking there was some late '80s/early '90s Mickey cartoon that I wasn't aware of. For 1939 that shading technique is amazing and blow aways the computer shading nonsense all 2-D Disney cartoons these days tends to suffer from.

And I love the look of the characters here. While I think I may prefer the Mickey design from the mid to later '30s, this Mickey is nicely appealing - still very round and basic but with the redesigned eyes. And I think this is my favorite era for Pluto as well as my favorite overall design for him.

Lastly, who did the animation for this? Are what time was Ken Muse working for Disney?

I disagree. I thought the series got alot funnier by the time the series end and I don't see that much ugly animation in the films. Sure their were some clunckers ("Pluto's Surprise Package", "Mail Dog", "Pluto and the Gopher") but I thought it was good if not great entry in Walt Disney Treasures series.

[oceansoul]

So because the series is based on the comic books, this means they deserve to get bashed and labeled as bad? :confused:

I haven't noticed the Duck Tales episode on that list, but really it's an outrage. That one is part of The treasure of Golden Suns, which was the feature length pilot of the series, and IMO it's an instant classic.

Duck Tales brings a lot of great childhood memories to many people, it couldn't be mentioned in the same line as "bad", especially not it's pilot. They should have given more credits to Carl Barks though, but it's a different story.

To split hairs, pedestrian or mediocre usually means average or middling; that means it isn't bad. That doesn't mean the film is question is good, just that I don't think it should be lumped in with the likes of Columbia's Tangled Travels, or Famous' The Oily Bird (starring everybodies favorite non-entity Inchy!). *EDIT* I forgot to add, anything with Van Beuren's Molly Moo Cow, too. Those cartoons are just horrible!

But I agree with you about the Pluto DVD. I bought it awhile ago and still haven't watched the entire thing. I had the same trouble with the Harveytoons set. Compare that to the fact that I spent only 4 days to watch the entire LTGC vol.5 DVD, including all the special features.

Sorry, I've just always found DuckTales to be unbelievably campy.And that's why Thad included the episode in his playlist of flops: not because it was based on the comics, but because DuckTales accomplished the dubious feat of taking a brilliant, amazingly timeless comic book world—many stories of which read as almost current today, despite originating in the 1940s—and dating it so painfully in the 1980s, mainly through the needless addition of patronizing Saturday morning conventions, that to this day, sometimes the Barks canon is damned by association.

[Matt the Y]

I guess you guys hate Chip'n'Dale Rescue Rangers as well. :)

Well, I can't speak for anyone else here but I know I certainly do..... the music on that show was just plain annoying, the voices were bad (Corey Burton as Dale, especially, was just plain irritating), the stories were lame and hackneyed, and the new side-characters, like Monterey Jack, were bland and uninteresting.

[David Gerstein]

I never included any Ducktales in any of my YouTube playlists. That poorly animated turd was not worthy of my attention.Oops! Thanks for the clarification.
As I said, I like it more than you do. But hey, different strokes... as with other modern cartoons I like to varying degrees, I don't even judge them as being the same medium as the classics.

Time to contribute to this thread myself. Here's a playlist (http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=B875E47759DB5B1A) I've compiled featuring a collection of some of my favorite cartoons—culled from what's already available on YouTube, that is. No TV cartoons here; just vintage goodies, including a few some of you might not have known were available. WEARY WILLIES, anyone? (Warning: I couldn't change the clumsy descriptions of the cartoons, put up by whoever posted them. Oh, well.)

[Bugs Bunny]

Before this thread becomes a DUCKTALES OR CHIPMUNK season thread. You have to acknowledge Disney's efforts for bringing Uncle Scrooge into exsistence, prior to "DuckTales" there weren't as many animated apperances of Uncle Scrooge and people without any exposure to Gladstone's Comics would've thought he was Ludwig Von Drake or Donald.

[Mr. Semaj]

DuckTales was one of Disney's very few television cartoons that I could stand. Though DuckTales was part their main problem that most of their series were recycled incarnations of pre-existing characters, especially the ones based from their feature films.

EDIT: Having just seen a few Kwiky Koalas, this particular cartoon had a semi-decent idea (a rarity for H-B at the time) plagued by terrible, terrible art. Still a very sad posthumous send-off for Mr. Avery.

[Nick]

As crappy a cartoon "Kwicky Koala" is, you can still see some distinctly Tex Avery inspired moments, though the animation certainly eliminates the comic impacts. Then again I only watched one episode which from its plot I presume was the first, and written by Avery himself, so maybe whatever influence Avery had over the show disappeared shortly after, as he died during production and the time the show was released.

And it is by no means a disgrace to his legacy as something like DIC's "The Wacky World of Tex Avery" is.

[Thad]

OK, here's my YouTube playlist. Not just cartoons, but just about anything you could catch me watching. Just a warning, the Curb Your Enthusiasm and George Carlin clips tend to contain umm, some not too kiddie-friendly language.

I just hope those Cavemouse shorts Tex did still hold up decent if not well from when I was little. I haven't seen these since they were on the Disney Channel.

Well, it's quite a typical "dig out some old character and put it in an extremely lame modern story" series, but I don't see any other problems with this particular intro. I don't get the meaning of Screwy Squirrel's presence at the end though.

He was used as a side character on the series (i.e. he starred in a sketch in the middle of the show that didn't feature Droopy himself, much the same way Droopy himself was featured as a side character on the earlier Tom & Jerry Kids series:rolleyes: ).

And I do agree with Wacky World of Tex Avery being a far worse show than this (and probably being the worst cartoon series of all time, for that matter; I've seen some steaming piles as far as modern animation goes but, in the end, that misconception probably tops them all) but that still doesn't excuse this series in the slightest.

Siskel & Ebert review Mickey's Christmas Carol (after Scarface).

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6G_WuDN30k
A dynamic that will never be repeated (the duo), and Ebert was so much cuter. :p

[Studio Toledo]

Oh, yes. More of MGM's scrubbed-up, xenophobic Americana. God it makes me hate old films.

And I couldn't even make it past the opening of the robot Stooges cartoon.

Oh, and while we're disccusing the dregs of 70's Hanna Barbera, here's Mumbly.

Mighty Man & Yukk (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0vbpRXLKAwU)

At least Famous was a little discreet about the Little Lulu/Audrey thing. Here, H-B paints Muttley a different color, puts him in an orange trenchcoat, and tries to pass him off as a different character. What lazy hacks.
They were!

The Million-Hare: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BSkwayDpgyY

The Iceman Ducketh: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25QEpfmC8hU&feature=related


These films are part of Daffy's transition from the greedy egotist of the 1950s to the snarky villain who would soon go to war against Speedy. McKimson lets Daffy hurt Bugs a couple of times -- by accident. But Monroe casts Daffy as a would-be killer!

In both films, Daffy gets a lot of dialogue. Dave Detiege's line, "With me, it's not the principle of the thing, it's the money!" in The Million-Hare is a standout, but too much of his other dialogue is insipid and juvenile. John Dunn's work in The Iceman Ducketh sounds more snappy but doesn't provide a lot of cheer when one considers the type of character Daffy has become.

Both directors were budget-conscious but the experienced McKimson was able to add a few nice touches. He let Robert Gribbroek provide discreetly handsome, detailed backgrounds (dig the stack of realistic TV antennas at Bugs' hole). From 3:47 to 4:02 watch for the sliding of foreground cels (poles, then bridge) against the background to give a 3-D effect.

In The Iceman Ducketh, Ken Harris animates Daffy for the last time from 2:26 to 2:32 ("Never mind the sales pitch. Just skin the rabbit!"). Apparently Harris didn't stay long enough to do any animation of Bugs. This cartoon (http://forums.goldenagecartoons.com/showthread.php?t=7972&page=2&pp=10) has one of the lowest hit percentiles of any pre-'65 Warner's cartoon in our polls -- Phil Monroe and Maurice Noble together couldn't direct this as well as McKimson directed The Million-Hare (which has a jazzy tune in its opening credits; hope someone can tell us more about that music).

(which has a jazzy tune in its opening credits; hope someone can tell us more about that music).


-Tony That's "With Plenty of Money and You", by Harry Warren. Here's a jazzy version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vda9Vr36XTw

Bill Lava didn't tend to use these old school jazz/big band melodies in the cartoons he scored, but occasionally he did. A couple others he did this for:

"The Spy Swatter": "Forty Second Street". Another Harry Warren melody. Heard in quite a few older shorts, usually in city settings, appropriately.

"Skyscraper Caper": "When My Dream Boat Comes Home" by Dave Franklin and Cliff Friend.

Oddly enough, I'd bet very few even knew these songs by the mid '60s. They were quite anachronistic in that sense.

As for the shorts themselves, I don't care for "The Iceman Ducketh", but "The Million Hare" is one of the few good '63 shorts. I like the repeated gag of "I wonder if Daffy remembers how to _____? I guess not", Daffy and Bugs rushing out of the hospital still in bandages was funny, and the final gag of a million boxes with a million one dollar bills was great. And the Lava music really wasn't too bad, especially considering the year it was made.

Dave Detiege's line, "With me, it's not the principle of the thing, it's the money!" in The Million-Hare is a standout, but too much of his other dialogue is insipid and juvenile.



That's actually a Mike Maltese line! It was originally used in Chuck Jones' "My Little Duckaroo" [1954] when Daffy announces just WHY he (as the Masked Avenger) should bring Nasty Canasta to justice (with the same line, more or less, as in the latter film; "And, besides, it isn't the principle of the thing, it's the money!").

Granted, "Duckaroo" isn't that great of a film to begin with; it's probably one of the weakest Jones-directed cartoons by far but that's still a pretty good line and it was done there first (either McKimson or Detiege must have "borrowed" it for their film) which actually takes away from the enjoyability of the "The Million-Hare" even more.....:rolleyes:

-Tony You make some great points here. In fact I think that the best feature of many of the '60s WB cartoons are the backgrounds! Even "Iceman Ducketh", undoubtably one of the worst Bugs Bunny cartoons ever made has some really nice backgrounds, but everything else...

Bugs and Daffy worked better with a tested friendship, as seen in The Million Hare, than with Daffy being a cold villain.

That said, The Million Hare was one of the more inventive Bugs/Daffy cartoons of the 1960's, which came with good coloring and a lot of clever layout shots. I liked the rendition of "The Blue Danube" played after Daffy's first crash.

Thanks Cyberfox, i feel the same about some Animes characters today.
It's still called "Anime" since it should not be pluralized (also of note of the narrow-mindedness of some who haven't seen as much as I have to note what constitutes for that 'anime style' that is so overblown nowadays).

I actually saw "SooperGoop" back in school myself some 18 years ago. Noting the credits, I see this was done by Murakami-Wolf Productions, a studio that worked on such commercials in those days, yet made a film that exposes the downright dirty deeds that goes into these ads.

Yeah but did it's the Extreme Adventrure Fun copy or to the Chronological Donald Volume 2 copy? I heard from the CDV2 was a murky print.

[Vdubdavid]

That print looks miles better than what got put on the CDV2 set. Why that copy wasn't used is beyond me.

[Leviathan]

Most definitely the Extreme Adventure Fun copy. The one on the second Donald set looked like absoulte crap.

Of course this begs the eternal question of why didn't Disney use this copy on the second Donald set, since it's obviously restored and pristine?

I might, but I'll have to wade through my DVD collection first. For any who can find the set, (it's not a dollar DVD) it's called Classic Cartoons Volumes 1&2 and it's from Brentwood. It was at Wal-Mart and Family dollars and cost me about $10 for 60 cartoons. Many original Popeye, Superman, and Betty Boop titles on it.
