Ever tried to find a classic cartoon on Youtube and come up short? I had some time to kill this afternoon and combed the site with a fine-toothed comb, adding what I found to playlists by director. Most of this stuff will probably be gone in a week, but I hope you enjoy my findings! I tried to organize them into themes, so you'll get a chnunk of Bugs Bunny, a chunk of a directors' non-WB stuff, etc. I still need to iron out the Freleng and Jones lists better.

Really great job, it's a shame most of the cartoons on there will vanish soon.

Inspired by Matthew's lists, here's a "Tex Avery at MGM" playlist (http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=DD26CD526750EFE4).

Believe it or not, the only Avery MGM I couldn't find on YouTube was "One Ham's Family".

Enjoy!

Isn't it obvious why? Viacom owns that cartoon! :p

Enjoy! Watched "Batty Baseball" again. Am I the only one who thinks that originally there was no title card before the cartoon's abrupt start?

The version on home video and TV is the way it's always been. I saw a print struck in 1944 at a friend's place.
