Does anyone have a copy of the unreleased Looney Tunes cartoons "A Jolly Good Falla"?. Would be willing to make a "Lopsided" trade to get it (e.g. 2 for 1, 3 for 1, etc.)

Thanks

I don't think it exists. Although I do believe the story was tweaked and eventually produced as Chuck Jones' "Fresh Airedale".

This Looney Tune was scrapped because it focused on Franklin Delano Roosevelt's dog Fala. As Roosevelt passed away suddenly during the developement of this cartoon, it was thought in poor taste to continue.

Above is the description from the BIG CARTOON DATA BASE (BCDB)

I don't know if it was ever produced. That's why I put the question out there

I doubt anybody would have it anyway if it was never even released. It's probably locked away somewhere in a landfill.

I think that they began working on it, but they never finished it, so I think it's impossible to find it simply because it never existed.

According to Mark Evanier's POV website, the cartoon got at least as far as the voice recording stages. (http://povonline.com/2001/News060901.htm) Evanier also said that some of the material was later used in "Fresh Airedale," which was originally to have Fala playing the part of "No. 1 Dog." Almost all of the references to Fala and the White House were changed before "Fresh Airedale" was released. The only remnant is in the animated newspaper photo where you can still see the White House in the background.
