Text of the page (random words):
ds an introduction here as my admiration for the man knows no bounds and i never miss an opportunity to say so i ve written about him extensively in this blog as he was the catalyst for my own interest in animation and animation history if you want to catch mr weldon and mr hatten you ll have to hurry no thanks to me procastination strikes again shostak airs repeats of his program all week meaning the weldon hatten edition will air just one more time tomorrow at 4 p m pacific time adjust accordingly for your particular corner of the globe just follow the link i ve provided above mr hatten and mr weldon will thank you if you stick around to the end you might catch a phone in comment by a certain humble toonkeeper expressing her heartfelt admiration for hatten what s that oh yes kevin i haven t forgotten him he s interrupted his daffy duck like vigil at the mailbox to express his boundless enthusiasm for the upcoming and newly released flood of video headed our way pardon me while i go pace for him well folks ah go ny ah go ny i feel like daffy duck at the opening scene of daffy doodles as he impatiently paces in front of his mailbox wondering aloud the phrase that i ve used as the title of this piece in the cartoon a classic by bob clampett if there ever was one daffy is referring to his morning paper as he eagerly awaits the day s comic adventures of dick tracy i use the over anxious question as my impatient cry for october 28th or eventual due date of the arrival of looney tunes golden collection vol 6 i cannot wait for this stuff to hit the shelves and i am perhaps as anxious to find out how well it sells in hopes that like the walt disney treasures collections we see a sudden revamping of the series and news that it will indeed continue oh right now the news is still that the series is halted after this volume but that warners cartoons are still on hand for future restorations and collections delving deeper into the vaults but this series is just too good to just flop here as the absolute overview i don t say that there are no other interesting in depth possibilities but this volume just seems so good that to cut the series off here is like axing an entire fourth of a very good major motion picture i still hold out hope that the decision makers can be convinced that even in these hard economic times people are throwing down their cash for this wonderful series and genuinely look forward to its arrival each year in our video collections continue reading filed under orphan toon musings tagged jimmy weldon looney tunes golden collection stu

other day but now we hear it from the source the upcoming dvd set from classic media will not contain any of the matty s funday funnies segments featuring bob clampett s beany and cecil just this morning we received the following e mail from john ruzich at classic media dear sir or madame i am contacting you on behalf of classic media an entertainment rights group company recently your website reported on classic media s upcoming august 26th dvd releases of casper classic collection vol 1 trick or treat and casper classic collection vol 2 casper wendy scare up some fun although both releases will contain casper cartoons that originally aired on television as part of the matty s funday funnies program we wanted to clarify that classic media does not have any trademark or copyright ownership of matty s funday funnies including the characters associated with the show such as beany boy cecil the sea sick sea serpent uncle captain huffenpuff and dishonest john for the avoidance of doubt classic media is the sole trademark and copyright owner of casper the friendly ghost and wendy the witch if you have any questions and or require any further clarifications please do not hesitate to contact me sincerely john ruzich vice president of business legal affairs classic media inc thank you mr ruzich we along with countless other beany and cecil fans are crushed but at least we know filed under note to readers tagged beany and cecil classic media 5 comments orphan toon musings beany cecil and bats posted on august 12 2008 by kevin by kevin wollenweber okay just a few things to keep those who care up to date i excitedly and prematurely wrote herein a while back about the possibility of bob clampett s beany cecil coming in greater volume to dvd from classic media my original alert to this was rather fuzzy because it came from a website that was confusing beany cecil with anything else involving the old matty mattel s funday funnies sure enough i more carefully reread the same alert and it had a link heading to news of two very spare casper the friendly ghost dvd s from classic media both featuring only around 12 cartoons and very embarrassingly aimed at the kiddies this company has absolutely no clue that kids of today are just not the ones who are interested in the old harveytoons or famous studios characters while it is true that the harveytoons or harvey comics characters were also connected with matty mattel s funday funnies thus the link to beany cecil to further confuse those not in the know one could not get immediately confused between theatrical cartoons from famous studios and tv cartoons from bob clampett so what then is the correct news on beany cecil i sure wish i knew i did get news that the clampetts were last heard to be negotiating with classic media so does this mean that the marriage is complete not as far as i now know for those who care i m sorry i jumped so prematurely i really thought i had a major scoop on this one and in all honesty i was jumping to tell folks that felt as close to the series as i do that there are further possibilities while there are still possibilities i guess we all have to moan and groan and suffer with our fast decaying videotapes i ve already outlined the reasons why i thoroughly enjoy this series while to some just discovering this twisted gem this might seem like a you had to be there type of moment i continue to say give it a second or third try it really does have the sense of humor of bob clampett all over it despite its very limited animation style along with then popular hipster humor that is as quick witted as clampett s own this is one of the few shows in which i like the time capsule caricatures and name dropping and that is why the adults of course should be the market to which this show is sold but i do wish the clampett family much good luck in finding an all embracing home for this show and just about anything else deemed lost in the history of bob clampett in other musings this morning regarding animators and where they came from and where they were going on youtube i checked out a print there of an mgm cartoon credited to rudolph ising called bats in the belfry it is with animation logic and all a one act play with three stooges like bats singing of their lunacy and demonstrating it with their antics the cartoon is almost plotless although the big punchline is that we do find out at the cartoon s close just what makes the bats crazy each night at the stroke of twelve i m unsure of the voices in the cartoon although i do catch pinto culvig voicing one of the bats the third little guy known as brick bat just jiggles his empty head around so we can hear that something is indeed loose but he remains voiceless throughout the cartoon plays out like an old vaudeville routine and does so within real time something rare in cartoons of this period which can span any number of years just so we get to the finale or punchline of the on going joke within the seven to ten minute period that we are spending with the cartoon in question it is directed in actuality by a guy named jerry brewer who also directed another lavish mgm toon of this period the first swallow i believe that these two toons were the only ones that he directed i d sure be interested to know more about the guy and what else in the golden age he had done i had thought originally that he like george gordon had been a terrytoons transplant but then again i m not entirely sure if gordon first worked at mgm and then at terrytoons but i m certain that he worked at both studios in fact i like gordon s work at mgm and his barney bear cartoon barney bear s polar pest almost reminds me of any number of plot elements created for any number of terry bears cartoons perhaps you readers could clue me in on gordon s animation work history or jerry brewer s for that matter it is worth noting just what jerry brewer s influences were here because others have said about bats in the belfry that the bats themselves are oddly designed with brightly colored decorative clothes or ornamental gear on their bodies it is a strange little tune in which almost all the dialogue is sung it reminds me of the earliest three stooges shorts in which the cast sang all the dialogue if i remember clearly those sing songy stooges shorts did not go over well even with staunch fans but i can see where animated cartoonists could be inspired to do something with the concept those at warner brothers had done much better with the idea but this is an interesting effort and worth better understanding or at least a second look filed under orphan toon musings tagged bats in the belfry beany and cecil kevin wollenweber 3 comments swing out now my take on l il ol bosko and the pirates 1937 posted on july 28 2008 by rachel review synopsis by rachel newstead l il ol bosko and the pirates release date may 1 1937 director hugh harman in short little bosko s imagination runs wild conjuring up a boatload of musical pirate frogs who show him and us just what wild means there is i admit an undeniable advantage to watching cartoons in the internet age when i was a child tv programmers ruled cartoons came on when the programmers wanted however often they wanted and could be yanked off the air just as arbitrarily for weeks or even months or for that matter forever on the one hand it made cartoon watching an event something to be eagerly anticipated and yet i never knew when a favorite cartoon would reappear were i to miss it i d have to wait until it came up again in the rotation however long that may be consequently it could take years of repeat viewing to catch all the subtleties the inside jokes the individual fingerprints of each animator s style now armed with dvds youtube and the ability to instantly view nearly anything i desire as many times as i desire that same process can take days or even hours l il ol bosko and the pirates was not one of those cartoons i was fortunate enough to see in my childhood it and cartoons like it had pretty much faded from tv by the time my interest in animation reached full flower but the rule still applies i first had the privilege of viewing a copy some two years ago then as too often happens i misplaced it and much of its wonderful detail faded from my mind when finally able to see it again and again and again about a week ago what i found was a revelation continue reading filed under bosko review synopsis the bosko trilogy tagged bosko harman ising orphan toon 1 comment jammin at the lily pad the music comes full circle with the bosko trilogy posted on july 27 2008 by kevin by kevin wollenweber foreword from rachel after more than a year kevin and i are making a long overdue return to the mgm incarnation of our favorite character bosko more specifically the final three cartoons in the series which we ve come to refer to as the bosko trilogy made toward the end of hugh and rudy s tenure as independent producers the trilogy stands as a bittersweet foreshadowing of what they might have done had they continued as such in few other cartoons do a modern jazzy sensibility and disney like innocence come together so well these deceptively similar cartoons appeal on enough levels to inspire a book in themselves a mere review seems inadequate but that s what we re going to attempt to do were we to indulge ourselves we could talk about these cartoons among ourselves forever as heretofore unnoticed details crop up with every viewing but we ve kept our dear readers waiting long enough in today s essay kevin s offers his perspective on the trilogy in general with emphasis on the first cartoon in the series l il ol bosko and the pirates mine will follow in a subsequent post we ve told the story so many times here and there in our ramblings on this blog about hugh harman and rudolph ising leaving their old boss walt disney for what they hoped would be far greener and more successful pastures forming their own animation company and getting distributed by warner brothers and then mgm those earliest years experimenting with their own musical series of cartoons the looney

time i ll get the lyrics right by rachel newstead i ve often joked that kevin and i make the perfect team as i hear about as well as he sees he ll pick up subtleties in the sound track of a cartoon

establishing the new blog kevin and i haven t quite made a clean break from the old which remains intact perhaps it s just as well since it looks as if we received a comment on the sally swing review i posted in may a fellow who calls himself ramapith left the following comment on the old blog recently hey guys after seeing sally swing s modern day reappearance on stephen destefano s blog i did some looking for more on her and bumped into this page what a great review and sally is a great character too pity no more shorts with her ended up being made don t wanna mosey around with mozart he wrote a symphony so what don t want to beat it out with beethoven i want my music and my biscuits hot so we re no longer rhyming hot with itself and the lyrics more accurately show sally s tastes well that s what comes of rushing to put content up i suppose this was a cartoon with which kevin was unfamiliar i hadn t even heard of it until a day or two before posting the review so he didn t have the luxury of teasing out those dodgy areas on the somewhat muddy sound track thus i was flying blind or deaf as it were perhaps the most mortifying thing for me is in thinking that a musician the caliber of sammy timberg would have done something so amateurish as rhyme hot with itself of course he wouldn ...
