Your earliest memory of a LT cartoon

[Lee Glover]

Hey, it's nice to be back after over a month (I've been busy moving house). :D

Anyway, back to the topic of cartoons...

What was the LT cartoon you can clearly remember the earliest?

Myself, the cartoon was "Long-Haired Hare". I remember seeing this in 1982, when I was five years old. I think it was on the ITV Saturday morning show TISWAS, but I'm not sure (rp-j, did the show ever featured the LT cartoons? I presume you were a big fan of the show, having seen you in a photo wearing a TISWAS shirt! :p ). I have started watching the LT cartoons before then, but all of the jokes flew over my head, but the gag that stuck in my memory from seeing this cartoon was when Bugs forces the opera singer to hold a note for so long that his face changes into a multitude of colours. I thought it was the funniest gag I've ever seen, and I can remember watching a lot more of the LT cartoons afterwards in the hope of seeing that gag again. To this day, it remains one of my favourite cartoons ever. :D :bugs2:

[Duck Dodgers]

My earliest memory of a WB cartoon is the MM "A Corny Concerto".

My earliest memory of a LT is "Porky in Wackyland".

My earliest memory of an animated cartoon is "The Skeleton Dance".

My earliest memory of a short live action comedy is L&H "The Chimp".

My earliest memory of a movie is L&H "Sons of the Desert".

[absolutpaul]

My earliest memory of a cartoon was seeing "I Wish I Had Wings" on TV in the 70s when I wasn't able to read yet. I would ask my dad what the words said on the screen. Many years later I couldn't remember if that cartoon actually existed or if my memory was faulty, but research proved that it did exist, and when I saw it again for the first time a couple of years ago, it was just like I remembered it!

[Mac]

An interesting question, but it sure is hard! I honestly can't remember a time when I didn't know Bugs Bunny and the main cast of Warner Bros characters so I must have been watching them since I was a baby. I have a whole bunch of memories of watching the cartoons from when I was a kid, but I'm racking my brains trying to think of a specific LT moment from when I was a tiny tot!

[oceansoul]

The first Looney related I watched when I was about 4-5 year old is Mother day special. I still love all those cartoons which featured there. (I was really surprised when I saw Quackodile tears with those extra scenes... LOL)

Later a regional TV started airing LT/MM weekly, the first toons I watched there were Hare brush, Daffy rents (a quite good Speedy/Daffy toon compare to the others), Ant pasted and Zipping along.

[Kevin McCorry]

"Tweety's S.O.S.", "Hopalong Casualty", "Hyde and Go Tweet". All via The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Hour on CBC Television circa 1969-70.

[frizfrelengfan]

The first one I recall is "Holiday for Shoestrings" as part of the pre-'48 a.a.p. package on local New York TV. Back in those days classic cartoons were shown on independent channels (5, 9, and 11 in New York - I don't remember which of these channels had the a.a.p. package - it could have been more than one). I used to watch after school.

[J. B. Warner]

Probably the earliest Looney-related memory I have is of the selection of pre-48s on TBS and TNT back in the early 1990s. "Hare Tonic" seems to stand out the most from this group.

[Nick]

I remember seeing "Tick Tock Tuckered", "Yankee Doodle Daffy", "The Wabbit Who Came to Supper" and "Super Rabbit" on Cartoon Network, way back when I was about 3 or something. I was at my grandparent's apartment in Spain and they were showing us their satelite TV.

[Martin Juneau]

"Hare-Way to the Stars", "Long-Haired Hare", "What's Opera, Doc?", "Bully for Bugs". Any cartoons from The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Movie

[MF TOON]

Mine was probably seeing some early b&w Tex Averys or random 30's Merry Melody one-shots early morning on a TNT broadcast lying on the floor of my bedroom apartment in Florida while my whole family was fast asleep. I remember shortly after replacing the big bulky wooden knob-dial set in the bedroom, we got one of those old fashioned remote controls that sort of resembeled a primitive keyboard which was attached to the side of the tube by a long cable. I wasn't familiar with the American broadcast stations other than the few children's networks which aired cartoons early in the morning. There was a switch at the side of the remote which acted almost like an AM/FM dial and the whole thing was so confusing to me! Since most of the numbers were rubbed off the top of the buttons on the front panel, it would take me up to 15 minutes sometimes just to find the right channel. So I'd tip toe into the kitchen just before 6am and pour myself a bowl of Cocoa Krispies and sometimes toast a bagel with melted cheese and pour a glass of milk, and than set myself up in front of the TV and lie there flipping through the channels sometimes for the length of an entire show. If it was a commercial and I missed it, I'd have to start all over again. Eventually, I got smart and put little stickers on the buttons so that I could jump right to the cartoons. I have really distinct memories of that. I also remember among the first Looney Tunes I'd been introduced to was Pre Hysterical Hare, as well as a bunch of the later McKimson Daffy The Salesman / Porky pairings which I also recall distinctly. But I think it was the wacky black & white surreal shorts from the likes of Clampett, Avery and even Tashlin that really got me hooked as a kid. I loved cartoons like The Daffy Dock and all those strange one-shot films with referances, cameos and gags that were completely foreign to me at that young age. I also used to rent all the anniversary compilation casettes and specials on Betamax with my dad every Sunday night and we'd watch them on the floor at the foot of our bed while eating Chinese take-out on a beach blanket laid out just before bed. Funny in those days it seemed like the Jones-Freleng shorts were the least represented. Perhaps my fondness for the earlier shorts might be rooted in a nostalgic familiarity. Anyways, my grandmother also had a huge hand in putting me on to the Warner cartoons as she was constantly bringing over public domain tapes of early colorized Porkys and the typical "A Fresh Hare" and "Corny Concerto" etc. By the time that Daffy Duck's Quackbusters was released in 1988, I was already hooked and for my birthday party that year (which was in some diner train cars that was transformed into a family themed restaurant preserving the original setup complete with an arcade car) we had a rented print screened on a projector while we ate our grilled cheese and hot dog dinners. It became one my favorite "compilation" movies and I remember renting the VHS religiously afterwords. Than towards the end of the 80's it was the Bugs Bunny & Tweety Show that exposed me to the later 50's shorts and I began appreciating them from an entirely new perspective. All the Tweety and Sylvester, Sam & Ralph and Bugs & Yosemite cartoons, etc. It's all history from there.

[detroittvguy]

I remember watching Looney Tunes on "Jingles In Boofland," on CKLW in Windsor, circa 1961. Boy, do I feel like an old fart!

[oldgreypole]

One of my earliest memories of watching a Warner Brothers cartoon that I can think of is watching "Muscle Tussle" at a drive-in theater. I also watched the Saturday morning network cartoons with a couple of my older siblings back in the early 1970's. This was just before I became a fan of The Pink Panther cartoons.

It's not one of my earliest experiences with watching Warner Brothers cartoons, but I remember when I first got a better idea how old some of these cartoons really are. When I was watching "Southern Fried Rabbit," Bugs Bunny says, "The Civil War ended almost ninety years ago." This, I figured, would make the cartoon date back to the early 1950's.

The first cartoon I ever remembered noticing the copyright date of is "Big Top Bunny."

[J. A. Boschen]

The first WB cartoon I remember seeing on VIdeo, was Daffy the Commando. I saw that when I was four years old (back in 1989), and at that time I always thought the ending was mean, with Daffy hitting someone on the head with a mallet. That was until I found who it was that he hit on the head in the end and why:rolleyes:

The first WB cartoon that I recall seeing on Television was a Road Runner & Coyote cartoon, I found it to be the most hilarious thing ever which began a bizaire fascination and obsession for the Road Runner and Coyote

[Mr. Semaj]

Probably the earliest Looney-related memory I have is of the selection of pre-48s on TBS and TNT back in the early 1990s.

About the same for me.

[gilligan fanati]

I got lots of memories of watching Looney Tunes on Nickelodeon before I would go to school. Ones that stick out are Boston Quackie, Wild Wife, The and the Honeymousers,

[David Gerstein]

The first Warner Bros cartoon I ever saw was, I think, DAFFY DUCK AND EGGHEAD, which Los Angeles channel KCOP 13 ran frequently when I was a kid. KCOP had the MGM and pre-1948 WB license in the area and ran the cartoons slightly edited for time (so that four would fit in a half-hour with commercials). In general, KCOP ran HARE RIBBIN', DAFFY—THE COMMANDO, and FALLING HARE absolutely to death. KCOP also had the local Terrytoons license and mixed WB, MGM, and Terrytoons in what they called their "Kartoon Karnival" half-hour.
KTTV channel 11 had the Lantz and post-1948 Warner cartoons.
KTLA channel 5 had Popeye from all eras and GEORGE OF THE JUNGLE. Their once-a-week, two-hour Popeye show, hosted (!) by Tom Hatten would mix Fleischer, Famous, KFS and Hanna-Barbera Popeye shorts with a couple of GEORGE segments.
The first animated film, period, that I ever saw was Richard Williams' feature RAGGEDY ANN AND ANDY (1977) in its original theatrical release. At three years old, I'd never actually been to a cinema before. The combination of the new experience and the rather wild and exciting film scared the bejeepers out of me!

[Marty26]

The three earliest I remember are probably Long-Haired Hare, Bully For Bugs and Bunny Hugged. In fact, I'd venture to guess my first exposure to Looney Tunes is probably the old Bugs Bunny's Wacky Adventures VHS from the mid-80s.

[Jon Cooke]

The earliest memory I have of the WB cartoons are --- believe it or not --- from a couple of Daffy/Speedy cartoons. For years I remembered scenes from "Rodent to Stardom" (specifically the "Rock-a-Bye Baby" part) and "See Ya Later, Gladiator". I must have seen them either on NBC's DAFFY DUCK SHOW or CBS' SYLVESTER & TWEETY, DAFFY & SPEEDY SHOW (even though I remember NOTHING else about either of those shows). It had to have been around 1981-2, making me about 2-3 years old. I never saw those cartoons again until my family got cable in the early 1990s and I saw them on Nickelodeon. For awhile, I thought those cartoons must not have existed.

Other than that, I always remember growing up on Warner cartoons through ABC's Bugs Bunny/Looney Tunes Comedy Hour and The Bugs & Tweety Show (there weren't any local daily "Bugs Bunny & Friends" shows in my area growing up --- not until the local NBC station picked up the pre-48s and ran a BB & Friends show around 1993 or so, but by that time I was just starting high school), CBS' primetime specials (How Bugs Bunny Won the West, etc which usually played alongside a Peanuts or Garfield special), the LT compilation movies, and the Golden Jubilee videotapes.

[mmm...donuts]

Hmmm...that's an interesting question...
If my memory serves me right, my first exposure to LTs was watching "Bugs Bunny's Third Movie: 1001 Rabbit Tales" at the age of 3 or 4.

[MF TOON]

One of my fondest early memories that I neglected to mention, was in the early 90's, my aunt & uncle took me to see a special Warner cartoon retrospective for my birthday at the old Imperial theater on Bleury which is now considered a historic building and is preserved as one of the earliest cinema houses in Canada. It originally served as a vaudeville theater upon opening in 1913 and by 1934 with the decline of artform, it was rented out and the addition of motion picture shows was put to use as part of a variety program. It was sold to the Montreal-based Consolidated Theatres two years later. By 1954, it had underwent a full renovation and was equipped with a Cinerama system. Than in 1970 it was sold to the Montreal company Cinéma International Ltée by Consolidated's successor, United Theatres and four years later, the new owner transformed it into a two-screen operation installing a partition between the orchestra and balcony levels. United Theatres (which later became Famous Players) managed to acquire the building again in 1980 and undertook a major restoration that turned the theatre back to a single hall returning its original lustre. Throughout the 80's, it gained a reputation as Montreal's best cinema with unmatched projection and sound and comfortable seating and lavish, elegant decor. Among other things, it received Canada's very first THX certification and had the ability to show 70mm films. Than, following the unfortunate market shift towards multiplexes, the turn of the 90's signaled the end of the Imperial's career as a commercial movie theatre. This was at the time that it had already closed it's doors but was rented out this one special weekend for the rare 35mm screening of classic Schlesinger/Warner cartoons. The building looked very different at the time and hardly resembeled a commercial theater at all. In fact, we had to climb a back stairwell up to a second floor level to enter the lobby, which was adorned with all sorts of vintage Warner artwork, movie posters and lobby cards. The interior was so big and majestic though, a far cry from the typical multiplex theaters that were popular and frequented at the time. It was a true testament to the great movie palaces of the past. I remember waiting in a small line at the concesion stand to get our popcorn and drinks and than shuffling in to the already dark and packed theater room as the first reel began playing. I was completely mesmerized. It was the first time I realized that these cartoons were much more than the typical Saturday AM cartoon fare that defined my generation. I think this is the first time that the realization that these were CLASSIC FILMS of a past era really hit me. To think that they probably recieved first run showings in the very theater I was sitting over fifty years ago seemed incredible to me! Anyways, it was such a fun and memorable experience. They showed everything from the earliest Tex Avery and Frank Tashlin shorts to films like 'Goodnight, Elmer' (my very first time seeing it which is why that stands out in particular) and a bunch of classic-era 50's Jones and Freleng. We must've sat in that dark theater for half the day, filling our stomachs with buttery popcorn and glazed nuts and all kinds of junk while watching some of the greatest cartoons ever made. It was a dream come true for a 7 year old on his birthday!

[Kevin McCorry]

Memory of laying in my crib in a mobile home and thinking about why Sylvester turned green on that ship and what the business of Tweety mixing that bottle of medicine to make Sylvester spit fire and explode was all about, is definitely my earliest memorable experience with cartoons. I know I was also aware of Elmer Fudd and Bugs Bunny, but from what cartoons specifically, I don't remember. Had to have been one of the ones on The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Hour. But I don't think it was "Rabbit of Seville".

There was something about swallowing disagreeable substances that made particular cartoons stand out in that murk of consciousness that was pre-school. Earthquake pills in "Hopalong Casualty", a cartoon that I recall seeing more than once at the end of a Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Hour, really freaked me out, long before I knew what an earthquake really was. And that Tweety monster in "Hyde and Go Tweet" was greatly disturbing. I recall also "Putty Tat Trouble", seeing Tweety drinking that liquid with the dunking bird, and thinking that he was going to start transforming, and was relieved that he didn't... but just what was that stuff he was drinking, anyway?

And I remember going out trick-or-treating with my mother sometime between 1969 and 1971 and finding some neighbors of ours watching a Road Runner cartoon (on the BB/RR Hour) as I was being given candy at the door. Whichever year it was that Halloween fell on a Saturday.

[J Lee]

OK, I'm really dating myself here, but the first solid memory I have of the WB characters is watching the original prime-time airing of the "Satan's Watin" episode on "The Bugs Bunny Show" on ABC in the fall of 1961, just before I was shuffled off to bed at 8 p.m. (I know I must have been wachting the pre-48 WB cartoons on WNEW and WOR by then, but this is the first thing that really sticks in my mind as having definitely watched at a specific time).

[Mark J]

There were way too many LT/MMs on tv when I was growing up to have a specific memory. This was pre-VCR, pre color tv, pre remote control, watching a b&w tv with rabbit ears, the picture fading in and out, and the tv tubes humming and taking 5 minutes to 'warm up'. NY's Channel 5 showed cartoons pretty much all day, same with channel 11 which had Tom and Jerry and the Averys, and Channel 5, pre FOX, had a huge WB cartoon show with the pre-1948 package and a package with a lot of the later cartoons that would air all morning and in the afternoon, same with Woody Woodpecker which seemed to be on whenever the LTs weren't. At one point Channe 5 even had an occasional prime time show with classic cartoons, with a theme 'watch the cartoons with your children that you grew up with'. This was apparently popular since they did it a bunch of times, mostly LTs and Woody cartoons which were the staples of Channel 5. I saw just about every color LT/MM cartoon plus the redraws hundreds of times in the 1970's and early 1980's and most are imprinted in my mind. Watching cartoons on the LTGCs that I haven't seen in 25 years I can still recite all the lines and remember each scene vividly. I do remember as a teenager getting our first color TV (circa 1982) and suddenly seeing cartoons in color - the redraws especially were surprising since the doctoring was suddenly obvious. I have a vivid memory of watching Wonderama on Channel 5 in the mid 70's and seeing Mel Blanc interviewed, watching him do the voices, and being shocked that a human actually made those voices and sounds.

[JPox]

My earliest Looney Tunes memory is the roadrunner cartoon where Wile releases a batch of exploding darts. I forget the name right now, that hum sound effect has always sounded unique to me.
I also have a drawing done by myself when I was about 3 or 4 with the coyote standing on an anvil a'la the last scene of this cartoon.
:coyote::beepbeep:
If I could find it soon, I'll post it...

[Geezil]

There were way too many LT/MMs on tv when I was growing up to have a specific memory. This was pre-VCR, pre color tv, pre remote control, watching a b&w tv with rabbit ears, the picture fading in and out, and the tv tubes humming and taking 5 minutes to 'warm up'.

That about sums up my recollection of the LT/MMs as well. Much clearer, as I've mentioned in a small bunch of posts elsewhere, are my very early memories from Rochester, NY, television of first encountering shorts from Terrytoons ("Farmer Alfalfa and His Terrytoon Pals") and then from Walter Lantz (the original "Woody Woodpecker Show") each in one neat package. Next came Popeye, likewise condensed into a Monday-through-Friday half-hour at either 5:30 or 6:00 PM depending on a shifting schedule for the Channel 10 newscast (IIRC).

Finally, the LT/MM package appeared, likewise on Channel 10, but in this case all over the schedule (here an early weekday morning slot, there a Saturday afternoon segment, everywhere as filler when a movie ran shorter than desired). And most often it was Bugs and Yosemite Sam in the "headliner" position. Or sometimes Foghorn Leghorn. No matter ... they all became lifelong favorites. :D

[Leviathan]

Earliest Memory of an LT Cartoon:

The VHS Happy Birthday Bugs: 50 Looney Years which i saw as a small child in the early 90's (and where i learned the names of Friz Freleng, Leon Schlesinger and Mel Blanc) :bugs2:

[AndrewGilmore]

As far back as I can remember would be some public domain tapes I got as a birthday present when I was about six or seven years old- I particularly remember watching "Prest-O Change-O" over and over- in fact, one of the PD tapes with that cartoon on it has been worn out and unplayable for years.

I know I had seen cartoons, especially WB cartoons, prior to this, but watching those PD tapes is my earliest distinct memory.

As a matter of fact, I know I had seen WB cartoons by the time I was only about a year old, because last year I was going through some old home movies and among the hodgepodge of footage of my infant home life was a brief clip of my young self watching "The Wacky Wabbit" on TV- probably not understanding it, but nonetheless watching it.

[The Spectre]

First one I saw was "To Beep or Not to Beep" when I was accidentally on the wrong channel.

When I first made a conscious decision to watch WB cartoons a lot of the ones they seemed to show were by Art Davis, giving me an inaccurate idea of what an average WB cartoon was like!

[Dell Comics Fan]

It might be hard to imagine today, in an era when (thanks to cable and
satellite dishes) there is access to over a hundred television channels, but
when I was growing up (in the early 1950s), our family (and typically most
families) only got one TV channel. And cartoons were sparse at best (the
thought of a channel showing nothing but cartoons would probably have
been met with snickers and puzzled looks). Anyway, our local channel showed
only Popeye shorts and a few other Paramount cartoons (and occasionally a
George Pal Puppetoon). So my first exposure to the classic Warner Bros.
cartoons was in the Dell comic books. The first time I saw an actual Looney
Tunes animated cartoon was probably either in a theater or on ABC's prime-
time BUGS BUNNY SHOW in 1960. But even before ever seeing the characters
on the screen, I already sort of "knew" them from the comic books. (Of
course, back then comics had a much bigger circulation: they were sold in
drugstores, dimestores, supermarkets, newsstands, everywhere.)

:bugs2::daffy::befuddled

[Chow Hound]

My dad liked the Looney Tunes and would watch them every Saturday morning with me via the Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Hour since before I can remember, so I have no memory of which one was my first. I just always remember them being part of my life.

[GeniusIntheLamp]

I don't have a specific WB cartoon that I first remember seeing, but my earliest memories of them came from watching them on Ray Rayner's show every morning on WGN-TV (Channel 9) in Chicago. I also remember seeing Snuffy Smith and Krazy Kat cartoons very early on.

The only specific cartoon of a certain character of which I have a "first memory" was Woody Woodpecker's WHO'S COOKIN WHO. :woody:

[Mr. Semaj]

I once had a few video tapes that my dad taped from TNT consisting of different Looney Tunes, as well as MGM, Paramount, and DePatie-Freleng, but it was very rare for him to tape cartoons from TV unless it happened to be cartoon movies from The Disney Channel. But we did have a lot of tapes copied from library videos.

The thing is, none of us seriously thought of taping any cartoons from the TV, because we never imagined a day where we'd never see Bugs Bunny, Mickey Mouse, or Woody Woodpecker. As someone already stated, they seemed to be a permanent part of our lives.

[Timber Wolf]

If I remember correctly, I saw "Bully for Bugs" when I was four. I really got
interested in Looney Tunes when I was six, thanks to
this (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nelonen) channel.

[ClampettFan21]

Afternoons on Nickelodeon.

[Saranczuk]

For a long time images of Yankee Doodle Daffy were popping into my head as one of the earliest because I had a public domain tape which had it. I didn't remember the specific cartoon until I got the Golden Collection Volume One.

[Tom Stathes]

The Timid Toreador...redrawn, and dubbed in Spanish! :D

[Matthew Hunter]

I don't really remember the very first WB cartoon I saw, but I remember when it was. I was probably a little older than most when I first discovered Looney Tunes. I'd grown up with Disney stuff, and I remember loving the movies (first one I ever saw was "Lady and the Tramp"). But I remember my mom turning on Looney Tunes on Nickelodeon one day, and if memory serves me right I was introduced to Sylvester, Bosko and Road Runner.

I also watched a local block of cartoons that was hosted by two clowns, and they had all KINDS of classic cartoons.

But the first specific LT cartoons a REALLY had ingrained in my memory were from a tape my folks made for me of LT on Nick. I specifically remember "Curtain Razor", "Porky's Hired Hand", and "Crow's Feat" being on there, and a road runner cartoon I'm pretty sure was "Hopalong Casualty".

[Geezil]

That's easy (sort of): For some reason, the Bugs vs. Yosemite Sam shorts were the first to get heavy rotation play on our local station when I was in (ahem) elementary school, and though I can't pin down which one of those was my very first WB viewing, it definitely was one of that subgroup.
:bugs2: :ysam:

[Cool Cat]

One of firsts Merrie Melodie cartoon that I saw, was probably "Birds Anonymus" when I was 4 or 5.

[Alf]

My earliest memories of watching WB cartoons date back to the mid-60´s, when the original Bugs Bunny Show aired on T.V. in my country. I didn´t discover the pre-48, AAP-distributed Warner cartoons until somewhat later, in the early 70´s.

In fact, my fellow countryman Raul Garcia -a key animator on Disney features during the 90´s- said in an interview that his very first memory of watching a cartoon on T.V. was when a television set was brought to his home for the first time. When the T.V. repairman put on the set, a WB cartoon was being aired in that moment -according to Raul, it was Bob McKimson´s THE HOLE IDEA.

[Fibber Fox]

My earliest memories of watching WB cartoons date back to the mid-60´s, when the original Bugs Bunny Show aired on T.V. in my country. I didn´t discover the pre-48, AAP-distributed Warner cartoons until somewhat later, in the early 70´s.

I go back a little further and have the same experience as some of the geezers here.

The TV station in Bellingham, Washington had cartoons in mornings and afternoons for many years. About 1960, that meant Warner Brothers and Popeye (Fleischer, Famous AND the Jack Kinney ones). I knew I'd be in for a good time when I saw the ship's doors open and a title appear (I can still remember 'King of the Mardi Gras' and 'We Aim to Please' even though I haven't seen either in maybe 40 years). They also ran the Dick Tracy cartoons and some very unfunny Magoos. I always thought UPA should have been A PU instead. Little did this little boy know UPA's history. And somehow, they fit in the Sam Singer Sinbads.

We were lucky enough to get Seattle and Tacoma by aerial (we had a special antenna that could pick up Channel 13 in Tacoma). Channel 11 had the same cartoons (introed by Crazy Donkey) but Channel 13 had black and white Warners, and I would always check the copyright date on each cartoon to see how old it was. The best part was the music - I still think of cartoons when I listen to dance music of the early 30s - and watching the jester pop out and saying "So long, folks!"

Woody Woodpecker was on a syndicated show (on Sundays, I think, before 'You Asked For It' with Jack Smith), but that was probably a few years later. One of the channels also ran The Alvin Show.

And, on top of that, all the great early Hanna Barbera stuff was on as well, and I spent a childhood seeing how many time Pixie and Dixie could run past the same table, with the same chase music in the background of every cartoon.

[BillC]

I remember in the late 50's early 60's
seeing "THE CAT CAME BACK". "I WANNA BE A SAILOR"
and I do remember seeing "Uncle Toms Bungalow"
all in B/W wasn't till years later that i found out these were in color!!

Cat Came Back was always one of my favs. seeing the kitten and the mouse
in the sewer and various object floating by them and the lively music playing in the background. to me it's a great cartoon.

Bill -
