Plus a batch of Jim Tyer-isms here and there. :D

Just one minor latter-day quibble/nitpicking observation: The gag on the sign out front was a good one, but no doubt could have been more concise and funnier even for 1954 ("Eat Now — Pay Later," for example). :shame:

[Fibber Fox]

Plus a batch of Jim Tyer-isms here and there. :D

That's Tyer doing the crook running off into the distance at the end, isn't it?

The Mexican bean sequence was great. Even Phil Scheib's score is clever. Too bad the cartoon's edited.

Oh, let's see..
Same old splash sound effect .. check.
Same old drum as gunfire sound effect .. check.
Same old squealing brake sound effect .. missing.

Hey, now. That <<<BWOOOOOM!>>> is much more than just a "same old." It's as much a trademark of Terrytoons as (for instance) the "trombone gobble" belongs to Warner Bros.

I remember Groening appearing via phone on public radio's Whad Ya Know in the early 90s. Host Michael Feldman mentioned he liked the different things Bart writes on the chalkboard over and over and said a couple; Groening chimed in with one, "I Will Not Waste Chalk."

No, it actually did get an Oscar nomination. It didn't win, probably because it was made for TV.

[Studio Toledo]

No, it actually did get an Oscar nomination. It didn't win, probably because it was made for TV.
It might be a reason (the first to get there was Richard Williams' "A Christmas Carol" early in the decade). Several productions made for or aired on Britain's Channel Four have often been nominated and won Oscars in the 80's and 90's.

"Seer No Evil" is my favourite episode from "Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers". Instead of the usual stuff, this cartoon built up a dark, dramatic storyline, and some clever ideas have been put in there.

Pretty much a lot of guys who came off of the Mighty Mouse series with something else for them to do, though to be honest, I really didn't see much of Bakshi's or else's trademark much in this special. It probably had more control by Geisel in the end but it was worth it the attention and pacing the put into this.

Jeff Pidgeon writes (http://www.jeffpidgeon.com/2006/01/design-attempt-for-butter-battle-tv.html) about his work on the special which may explain some things.

Seuss stated before his death that the Bakshi special was probably the most faithful of any animated adaptation of his books. Makes me wonder what he thought of those DePatie-Freleng specials.

No animators are credited in this special, so it was probably animated overseas; more likely at Wang Films, since they handled the Mighty Mouse series and that Nickelodeon pilot Bakshi did.

I figured it was done by Wang Film, not sure why they didn't get credit here by name otherwise unless it was a technical gaffe they didn't get that credit in for the end. I think Wang Film also did the "Hound Town" pilot as well.

I have no interest in this cartoon. The only reason I'm posting it is because of some familiar names in the credits. Specifically, Warren Batchelder, Gerry Chiniquy, Tom Ray and John Gibbs. What was left of DePatie-Freleng when the studio was sold to Marvel.

Oh, and Mark Evanier is credited for co-developing it.

Had a meaning to post about this for some time.

In 1969, the Lockheed Aircraft Corporation produced a series of short films as part of some drug prevention initiative that focused on telling those how to spot someone who may be under the influences or other pointers in their investigations. In putting together this series, animation was apparently used to get the message across, but for whatever reason, uses cavemen as a professor of sorts and subjects in a series of animated segments that appear very Hanna-Barbera like (though I also thought of the Bill Hendricks WB cartoons as well). It's rather campy and weird watching these, though sadly, there's only so few of 'em online to view.

Behavior Effects of Drugs (cartoon #3) (http://www.veoh.com/browse/videos/category/entertainment/watch/v1520285zS2WwFK3)
Drug Needs (cartoon #7), Drug Source (cartoon #8) and Drug Use (cartoon #9) (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=4392110586610589535)

There used to be one other one online for "Drug Effects", which was #6, but was a review type piece. Each segment was usually titled with the statement "focus on this frame" during the opening credit, and "Turn off projector" at the end, so there was probably a teacher there to do a little oral lecture inbetween these. They're just so amusing!

I asked Vincent Waller (the director) about the show. Apparently WB really watered it down, including changing the design of Milo, who originally only had one eye.

This feature is aired each Holidays here. And in case you didn't know, Greg was also the creator of the character Walter Melon (Achille Talon). I remember also watching when i was a kid the two 1960's live-action Tintin features before they pull off on air but luckily, it's available on DVD.

Yes. Walter Melon was originally created in comic-books in 1963 by Greg. I remember heard of this animated cartoon but never watching it.

This Tintin feature with the other animated ones aired each Holidays in Tele-Quebec during a film block along with the Kirikou, Lucky Luke and Asterix movies. Yes, you can kinda watched it during 10 years but at least, it's better visually than with Scooby-Doo. :D

Here's an early and memorable Gumby episode called "In the Dough".

Unfortuanly, I could only find one of the two abridge versions of this episode. You see, originally this was a ten minute short but for time reason, it aired as two seperate re-edited episodes like the other early entries. One was titled "The Baking Tour", which as I recall didn't have the dark scenes, and this one that uses the original title.

A restored version of this short that had a deleted scene, used to be be on Youtube, but was removed by the uploaders' (The Orchaird, who bought out the original distrubter, DMGI) wishes.

The only other cartoon where the characters were painted white against a garnish backgrounds were "A Fink in the Rink".

Back in 1986, Kellogg's unsuccessfully tried to come up with a new mascot for their Honey Smacks cereal.

Dig 'Em was back on the shelves the following year.

I'm late with the Pink Panther theme, but here's a very brief segment from Sesame Street with the panther:

It should be noted that this segment was shown all the way up to 2001.

Did the late, great Kermit Love (Sesame Street, The Great Space Coaster, Snuggles, etc.) built those puppets for the commercial? I'm sorta of curious.

Clip of "Wacky Races" in Japanese. This is from a Japanese TV special that showcased nostalgic anime shows from the '60s to '80s. I guess since "Wacky Races" aired in Japan, it's included.

What I find interesting is that they're listing Nippon Columbia as the studio. I'm guessing that was the company that did the dubbing.

Nippon Columbia is actually a record company though it's interesting if they were involved in dubbing the show as well for the TV station that aired it. Their current name though is Columbia Music Entertainment.

English opening for Tezuka's "Amazing 3" (Japanese title: Wonder Three)

There's definitely an American cartoon influence on the designs of the animals, especially the duck with a Beatles haircut.

Funky UPA-esque designed versions of Disney's Pinocchio characters in a commercial for the Hudson Hornet car (Pinocchio sounds like he's being voiced by June Foray):

This is how you know what kind of talent Tezuka really was. People today would just say how 'old' they look none the less, jerks!

^ - Not to mention, it was filmed in black and white. Didn't exactly help when it comes to rerun value.

Speaking of old anime, here's the original Japanese opening for "Speed Racer". just a warning that it's 2 minutes long.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uyMaZ-CWrI4

I have a soft spot for this show, if only because of how ridiculously campy it was. Then again, just about anything Tatsunoko made was campy (I've seen many, considering that I've lived in Japan and managed to see several through reruns on satellite channels)

Do you remember Demetan, Time Bokan and Macross (though the last title isn't really that silly)? :D

I remember "Time Bokan" (and some of its many spin-offs). Never saw "Demetan", though I remember "Minashigo Hutch", about a bee trying to return to his mother, a Queen bee (he succeeds in the last episode).

I remember being a fan of one of their comedy shows, "Hakushon Daimao", the one about a boy and his dim-witted genie who gets summoned every time somebody sneezes near the bottle. The genie would then have to do the bidding of whoever sneezed, but of course he would fail near the end of the episode. The genie also had a kid sister who gets summoned every time somebody yawns.

It eventually got an English dubbing under Saban, titled "Bob in a Bottle". It only aired in Canada, though.

(for trademark purposes, the English title Tatsunoko gave officially is "The Genie Family")

Here's the opening

True. That was the best we had, two VHS compilation movies (the other was "TimeFighters in the Land of Fantasy"). A dub movie compilation of "Demetan Croaker, the Boy Frog" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demetan_Croaker,_The_Boy_Frog) was released under the name "The Brave Frog" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96n19ZNEURQ).

A simular Tatsunoko cartoon that focused on a small insect was "Hutch the Honeybee" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RSw01oQDqXg).

Of course now America will be getting "Tatsunoko vs. Capcom" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tatsunoko_vs._Capcom) for the Wii soon, featuring some characters that may or may not have made any waves on American TV or home video, though it's a shame if this guy (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Js4f6obJBc4) isn't coming over to our release.

Just linked to the opening I found on YouTube (though vocal-less). Tatsunoko made some pretty interesting cartoons in the 70's like this one (has been dubbed into English on a number of occasions)...

Somewhere out there there are some episodes of this dub I got to check out to see what Saban did with this. Thought it was OK (at least up there with Samurai Pizza Cats, a far well-known show).

I found that long Japanese opening for Speed Racer awhile back and I must admit the music is awesome! Also have fond memories for the version we got in the US, by Danny Davis and the Nashville Brass. Campy, yes, but it was something I used to watch as a young lad on a UHF station in Boston (WKBG/56, which also gave us Kimba)

Paul McCartney's "Tropic Island Hum" (or at least, the 2nd half of it anyway.)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFfW5sTaEfg

The children's book that's based on this short ("High in the Clouds") is to become a animated movie with McCartney himself doing the music.

Here are two experimental animatied films by Muppet creator Jim Henson:

"Cat and Mouse": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTjsl_qnIsQ
This film might have some insperation from Jim's own cats who appeared in the "2 Dolls" film from "Sesame Street".

"Idea Man": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SBPZoB8z9As&feature=channel

I think I'm not the only one who can relate to this film while trying to figure out ideas. Also, note the cameos during the "good ideas" seaquence.

Credits for the 1980s "Spider Man" cartoon
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=On2zYc5XMTI

Again, it's the names that I find interesting.

Animation Directors include Gerry Chiniquy, Sid Marcus, Nelson Shin, and Art Vitello.

Joe Siracusa as the music editor. Joe was a drummer on Spike Jones and His City Slickers and later a film editor at DePatie-Freleng (where Marvel Prod. evolved from)

Don Jurwich is the supervising director. Don was the guy who directed that awful X-rated film "Once Upon a Girl"

Oh, and David H. DePatie is one of the executive producers. After Friz Freleng left David stayed behind at Marvel Prod. for few more years.

I wonder how long the show's been in production. Sid Marcus is credited but he died in 1979; the show didn't air until 1981.

(Coincidentally, Sid Marcus was a director on the Grantray episodes of the 1960s series)

Interesting indeed. A company that the work was outsourced to, "MiHahn" was formed by Steven Hahn in Korea to work on this and a few other shows of that period.

A Woody Woodpecker (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZP9pNlnoik) cartoon by Paul J. Smith.

While the character designs are unappealing, the animation is much smoother than it would be in later Smith cartoons.

Includes a very funny ending. :)

Billy Lee Riley (1933-2009): A key member of the original Sun Records rockabilly crew, if not quite as well remembered as a couple of the others, Riley passed away over the weekend. Hear his original version of "Flying Saucers Rock and Roll," as captured on Sun at 78 RPM! (The Beatles and Robert Gordon, among a bunch of others, certainly did.)

The little green men taught him how to do the bop (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-ZpgjKbHh8&feature=related) :D

So a Cartoon Brew post on a "hidden message" in a Popeye cartoon made me look up a Pink Panther short "Pink-A-Boo". There were several instances of a mouse squeaking.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywtEgjG2c6Q

So what did it say when I slowed it down? The answer is...nothing. It really was just some random gibberish sped up.

Oh well, here's the cartoon anyway.

EDIT: I tried it out with another Panther cartoon "Pink is a Many Splintered Thing". Towards the end the big nose man is talking to someone on the phone and it appears that the sped up noise heard through the phone DOES say something.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MSYw_bQt9XQ
After the man lands on the ground, the phone is still going one. You can hear "And I had 15 years" and the rest I can't hear due to the music and sound effects muffling it.
