A Looney Tunes Quiz Part 2

[Philo & Gunge]

Just before the GAC move, we had this game. We put up a question and who ever answers it right asks the next question. Will start out with mine, that no one answered right (even though there was only 1 answer by JB)

WHAT DO THESE CARTOONS HAVE IN COMMON?
(blooper) Bunny!
Father of the Bird
Another Froggy Evening
Little Go Beep

[UncleJunior]

They were made in the 1990s.

Question:

Who was credited with "Supervision" for the cartoon "Fish Tales"??

[Philo & Gunge]

They were made in the 1990s.Oh, that's true. But that's not the answer we're looking for. Try again.

[J. B. Warner]

All four had limited theatrical releases? I don't know (was "(blooper) Bunny" even released theatrically?).

[Daffysleftfoot]

Who was credited with "Supervision" for the cartoon "Fish Tales"??
Jack King

Name the only major Looney Tunes character with more than 5 cartoons under his belt to not even get an Oscar nomination.

[J. B. Warner]

Name the only major Looney Tunes character with more than 5 cartoons under his belt to not even get an Oscar nomination.
Daffy Duck.

Name four cartoons which Eddie Selzer tried to hinder the creation of by telling the directors what not to do.

[Philo & Gunge]

All four had limited theatrical releases? I don't know (was "(blooper) Bunny" even released theatrically?).YES! That's it! No (blooper) Bunny! wasn't released because WB didn't like the content.

[J. B. Warner]

So does that mean I get to ask another question?

[Philo & Gunge]

So does that mean I get to ask another question?Yeah.

NEW RULE
You cannot ask a new question until you get conformation from the host (aka the person asking the question), no one else cannot start a new quetion until then either.

[J. B. Warner]

Very well then.

Name at least five WB cartoons that are unofficially banned (meaning that they are not on the Censored 11 but are still hardly ever shown due to their racially or otherwise stereotypical humor).

[Nick]

"Flop Goes The Weasel"
"The Early Worm Gets The Bird"
"Which Is Witch"
"Africa Squeaks"
"Herr Meets Hare"

If I got that right, here is the next question:

What was the first WB cartoon, that listed Art Davis in the credits?

[J. B. Warner]

Yeah sure, go ahead (I wasn't thinking of "Flop Goes the Weasel" or "The Early Worm Gets the Bird" because I didn't know what their content consisted of; I had "Wise Quackers" and "Tom Tom Tomcat" in mind).

[Lee Glover]

What was the first WB cartoon, that listed Art Davis in the credits?
Scrap Happy Daffy

[Cartman]

Scrap Happy Daffy
Now it's your turn to ask a question. Otherwise the game is over.

[Lee Glover]

Now it's your turn to ask a question. Otherwise the game is over.
Well, I had to wait for conformation from Nick before I submit a question.

Anyway, here it is:

What was the first WB cartoon that listed Tedd Pierce in the credits?

[Javeman]

What was the first WB cartoon that listed Tedd Pierce in the credits?The Lyin' Mouse

[Lee Glover]

The Lyin' Mouse
Correct, Javeman. Your turn. ;)

[Javeman]

My question: What key scene in "Porky's Duck Hunt" did Bob Clampett claim to have animated, despite his name being nowhere in the credits?

[Daffysleftfoot]

The first scene of Daffy leaping on the lake going WOO HOO WOO HOO!!!

[Javeman]

The first scene of Daffy leaping on the lake going WOO HOO WOO HOO!!!That is correct. Your turn now.

[Daffysleftfoot]

Thank you!

Which animator acme to Warner Bros. only to work on Inki and the Mynah Bird (by Chuck Jones c. 1943) and what did he animate in that cartoon?

[Javeman]

Shamus Culhane (credited as James Culhane)

[Daffysleftfoot]

Yes, but what did he animate in that cartoon?

[Javeman]

If I'm not mistaken, he animated most of the scenes with the lion.

[Daffysleftfoot]

There you go! :)


Next question.

[Daffyfan2004]

Daffy Duck.

Name four cartoons which Eddie Selzer tried to hinder the creation of by telling the directors what not to do.
I notice nobody has answered this one yet so I'll give it a try:

Tweety Pie
Fast and Furry-ous
Bully for Bugs
Bedevilled Rabbit
another one to mention would be "For Scent-Imental Reasons" but you only asked for four. I just thought I'd bring that up.

[J. B. Warner]

I don't recall Selzer hindering the production of "Fast and Furry-Ous", but you did bring up "For Scent-Imental Reasons" so I'll give that one to you. Your turn.

[Javeman]

My turn:

In "The Million Hare", what was the prize Daffy won but then stupidly give to Bugs?

[Pietro]

In "The Million Hare", what was the prize Daffy won but then stupidly give to Bugs?
The "Million Box" which contains multiple boxes with one dollar bill in each.

[Lee Glover]

Here's the next question:

Name three cartoons that contained reused animation from "My Green Fedora"?

[Martin Juneau]

Toytown Hall
The Woods Are Full Cuckoos

I'm not sure for the 3th

[Pietro]

Name three cartoons that contained reused animation from "My Green Fedora"?
Off the top of my head, "A-Lad-in Bagdad," "Toytown Hall," and "The Woods are Full of Cuckoos."

Next question:

-Pietro:daffy:

[Dan Porceddu]

[Pietro]

"Porky's Badtime Story"
That is absolutely 100% correct! Next question, please...

-Pietro:daffy:

[Dan Porceddu]

That is absolutely 100% correct! Next question, please...Who was the only person besides Friz Freleng who directed a theatrical Sylvester and Tweety short?

[J. B. Warner]

Who was the only person besides Friz Freleng who directed a theatrical Sylvester and Tweety short?

[Dan Porceddu]

Gerry Chiniquy - he directed the last :tweety: and :sylvester cartoon, "Hawaiian Aye Aye" from 1964.Correct! On to the next question...


-Dan

[J. B. Warner]

Well, now that I'm back...

Who was the last major director, not counting layout or other artists that recieved codirector credits, to arise at the Warner animation studio before the 1963 shutdown, whose unit did he replace, what was his first cartoon, and in what year was it released?

[Daffysleftfoot]

J.B., I do believe you're talking about Art Davis, who became the director of Bob Clampett's unit and inwhich the first cartoon they produced was a nice Porky Pig romp called Mouse Menace c. 1946.

[J. B. Warner]

"You're abthhholutely correct!"

Next question...

[Daffysleftfoot]

There was an animator who was at the WB studio just one year before it shut down the second time. (He may have been there for years previous but he didn't receive animation credit until the final year). This animator went on to start a hugely successful comic strip. Name the animator AND the comic strip.

[Daffysleftfoot]

Whoops! Did I stump everybody? :confused:

[J. B. Warner]

Apparently.

Who was it anyway?

[Daffysleftfoot]

If I answer my own question, do I get to ask another?

[Daffysleftfoot]

....... I'll take that as a "yes".

Answer: the animator in question is Jim Davis who, of course, is the creator of the comic strip Garfield.

Next question:

In the Swooner Crooner, name all the celebrities each rooster caricatures.

[Cartman]

In the Swooner Crooner, name all the celebrities each rooster caricatures.
Al Jolson
Bing Crosby
Bob Hope
Frank Sinatra
Jimmy Durante
Cab Calloway
Am I right?

[Daffysleftfoot]

#3 is wrong

[Daffysleftfoot]

Okay, either I've stumped everyone again or people are getting kind of tired of this game. :o

[Nick]

Answer: the animator in question is Jim Davis who, of course, is the creator of the comic strip Garfield. That is wrong, he wasn't that Jim Davis. He was, however, the same Jim Davis who drew the Fox and CRow comic for twenty years and directed some of the later WB specials ("How Bugs Bunny Won The West" and "Bugs Bunny's Valentine Special" are two examples).

(This information was also posted by Sogturtle in this thread (http://forums.toonzone.net/showthread.php?t=60410&))

[Daffysleftfoot]

Whoops! :shame:

Oh well, I'll let Cartman off the hook as well. The one he missed was Nelson Eddy.

Okay, I think it's someone else's turn now.

[RetroMan]

Here we go... In the same vein of Daffysleftfoot's question - who were the 4 celebrities caricatured in What's Up Doc?

(This one ain't so hard, it's in the LTGC)

[Daffysleftfoot]

Yeah, that one is too easy. Al Jolson, Jack Benny, Eddie Cantor, Bing Crosby.

[RetroMan]

Yer up!

(I guess it was waay too easy... next time I'll show no mercy!)

[Daffysleftfoot]

Okay, here goes. (I actually did research for this one this time. :rolleyes: )

Who did the voice of little Owl Jolson in I Love to Singa? And, as a bonus, what live action part did this individual play?

[RetroMan]

Tommy Bond - and he played Butch from the Little Rascals.

[Daffysleftfoot]

Gawrsh, that suuuuuuuuuure is riiiiiiight. Retroman is up. :cool:

[RetroMan]

Let's see....

What studio was Preston Blair working at in 1932?

[Daffysleftfoot]

Let's see....

What studio was Preston Blair working at in 1932?
I know! It was the Charles Mintz studio. Here's a photo to prove it.

http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/Boulevard/3131/9_1932.jpg

[RetroMan]

Once again, you're right!

(coincidentially, that's exactly where I knew that... and, he kinda looks like Ryan Stiles of Whose Lin Is It Anyway?)

(someone ought to keep track of who answers the questions here)

[Daffysleftfoot]

Well, with the picture still up, I'll ask a question about that.

Who is standing to the right of Mr. Blair? (Our right, not his.)

[Daffysleftfoot]

Whoops! Is everyone stumped again?

[RetroMan]

Whoa, how could I miss that one? It's Allen Rose.

[Daffysleftfoot]

Retroman, you're right as rain!! (And twice as wet :D)

Ask your question.

[RetroMan]

I'll go easy on this one. This noted musical "contributor" to cartoons was born as Harry Warnow in 1908 and would later become famous during the mid 30's - who is he?

[Cartman]

I'll go easy on this one. This noted musical "contributor" to cartoons was born as Harry Warnow in 1908 and would later become famous during the mid 30's - who is he?
Just a guess. Was it Carl Stalling?

[J. B. Warner]

I'll go easy on this one. This noted musical "contributor" to cartoons was born as Harry Warnow in 1908 and would later become famous during the mid 30's - who is he?
That would be Raymond Scott, the man behind the Raymond Scott Quintet (despite its having six members) and such musical materpieces as "Powerhouse", "The Penguin", "Huckleberry Duck", and "Dinner Music for a Pack of Hungry Cannibals". My favorite jazz musician, too.

[RetroMan]

To the head of the class Mr. Warner!

[J. B. Warner]

All right, let's do this...

Other than Joe Alaskey or Jeff Bergman, name five people that have contributed voices to Mel Blanc's Warner Bros. animated characters after Blanc's death.

[Boy Wonder]

Larry Storch
June Foray
Daws Butler
Stan Freberg
and...
Noel Blanc

[RetroMan]

Eric Goldberg
Brendan Fraiser (he did Taz)
Jeff Bennett
Billy West
Bruce Lanoil

[J. B. Warner]

Boy Wonder, I said MEL BLANC'S characters. RetroMan gets it.

[Boy Wonder]

Boy Wonder, I said MEL BLANC'S characters. RetroMan gets it.
Oops, I read that wrong. It was the first crack at this contest, and I thought I could flow with the question, but I didn't as you pointed out. No hard feelings (sets anvil about 100 feet in the air).

[RetroMan]

All righty, here we go again:

Which animated shorts were nominated for an academy award in 1940 and who won?

[Daffysleftfoot]

Milky Way - MGM

A Wild Hare (first :bugs1: ) - WB

Puss Gets the Boot (first :tomcat: :jerry: ) - MGM

The winner of that year is in bold print.

[RetroMan]

Right you are!

[Daffysleftfoot]

Very well then:

I desire the entire cast list of the breakthrough cartoon I Haven't Got a Hat.

[Nick]

Very well then:

I desire the entire cast list of the breakthrough cartoon I Haven't Got a Hat. Miss Cudd
Porky Pig
Beans
Oliver Owl
Ham and Ex
Little Kitty
Tommy Turtle

[Daffysleftfoot]

You didn't name all the characters in the audience or the dogs that attack Porky. :eek:

I'm just kidding. Yes, you're absolutely correct. It's your turn now. :p

[Nick]

I'll do one quite hard: How many cartoons had Sylvester not speaking? :sylvester

[Boy Wonder]

1 I think

[J. B. Warner]

Beats me, but it definitely ISN'T one.

[Matthew Hunter]

Wow...definitely more than one. I can name a few, I KNOW it's not a complete list.

"Peck up your Troubles"
"Doggone Cats"
"Scaredy Cat"
"Mouse Mazurka"
"Tree For Two"
"Claws For Alarm"
"Jumpin Jupiter"
"Pappy's Puppy"
"A Bird in a Bonnet"
"Mexican Cat Dance"
"Hawaiian Aye Aye"
"It's Nice To Have A Mouse In The House"
"The Wild Chase"
"A Taste of Catnip"
:sylvester

[Daffysleftfoot]

"Mouse Mazurka"
"Hawaiian Aye Aye"

Um, Sylvester talked in those two.

[Daffysleftfoot]

I'll do one quite hard: How many cartoons had Sylvester not speaking? :sylvester
Hey, Nick, did anyone really answer your question?

[Nick]

Hey, Nick, did anyone really answer your question? Not yet. ;) :sylvester

"Tree For Two" Sylvester sings in that one, and I count singing as talking. (That cancels out "Back Alley Op-Roar" then)
