The Three Little Pups
Directed by Tex Avery
Written by Heck Allen
Released on December 26, 1953
Distributed by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM)



A variation on the age-old 'Three Little Pigs' theme, with Droopy and pals being the target of one of the most laid-back wolves you'll ever see...

Bugs Bunny: #2 & #3

As was featured on the previous page and last month, we celebrated Bugs Bunny's first "credited" film debut in A Wild Hare. Now, we'll feature the two successor shorts that feature Bugs Bunny, first with his now iconic pairing of Elmer Fudd, and the second is a parody of Aesop's antique fable of The Tortoise and the Hare (also a spoof of Disney's Silly Symphonies short).


Elmer's Pet Rabbit
Directed by Charles M. Jones
Written by Rich Hogan
Released on January 4, 1941
Distributed by Leon Schlesinger Studios
(Warner Bros. Pictures)

{If the above embeddable should break, a redirect link: Bugs Bunny - Elmer's Pet Rabbit (1941)}


In this cartoon, Elmer buys a rabbit in a pet shop and the animal pesters him mercilessly.

Tortoise Beats Hare
Directed by Fred Avery
Written by Dave Monahan
Released on March 15, 1941
Distributed by Leon Schlesinger Studios
(Warner Bros. Pictures)

{If the above clickable in-lined video should break, a redirect link: Bugs Bunny - Tortoise Beats Hare (1941)}


In an unusual opening for a cartoon, Bugs wanders onto the screen during the credits and reads them aloud, mispronouncing all the names. When he gets to the title, he is enraged, and calls the crew "...all a bunch of joiks!", then adds, "And I oughta know. I woik for 'em." To regain his honor, Bugs challenges Cecil "Toitle" to a race. Cecil calls all his look-alike cousins who live along the race course, and they bedevil Bugs by constantly appearing ahead of him, making him think he's losing at every turn. The rabbit crosses the finish line only to find Cecil waiting there, wondering what took him so long.

Mickey's Opry House

Here is one of Mickey Mouse's Silly Symphonies features, one that I especially like because it is uncharacteristically shorter than any of the others, it is still early into Mickey's conception (within a year of his debut) and it features yet another plotline centric to classical music-playing. It's also quite hilarious. I think roachboy posted a Mickey short in his blog a while back, so I thought, it's about due time that at least one of Disney's featurettes would be included here.

The Opry House (1929) (abridged)
Directed by Walt Disney
Music composed by Carl Stalling
Released on March 28, 1929
Distributed by Walt Disney Productions

{The full short can be found here: YouTube - Mickey Mouse - The Opry House (1929) }


This is a short clip from an early b&w Mickey Mouse cartoon called "The Opry House". It shows the first time in an animated film where the "Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 in C-sharp minor" is used. This tune would become famous in animation history due to later cartoons such as "Rhapsody in Rivets", "The Cat Concerto" and "Rhapsody Rabbit". And if you watch closely, you'll see that "Rhapsody Rabbit" borrowed heavily upon this performance by Mickey, as they use the same general situation and have a number of similar gags.

Mickey runs a small theatre. The orchestra plays, rather badly, excerpts from Carmen. Mickey appears as a snake charmer, but the snake is revealed to be a cat with a snake's head painted on its tail. Mickey does a belly dance, to the audience's delight. Mickey then plays the piano, but the piano and stool, apparently annoyed at the violence and complexity of the piece, kick him off stage.

Mouse Trouble
Directed & Written by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera
Released on November 23, 1944
Distributed by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM)
{If the above embeddable should break, a redirect link: Tom And Jerry - 017 - Mouse Trouble (1944) - HD}


Mouse Trouble is an Academy Award-winning "Tom & Jerry" cartoon.

Tom's new book on "how to catch a mouse" doesn't prove too helpful against Jerry; actually, Jerry seems to make better use of it than Tom.

The Blue Danube
Directed by Hugh Harman
Produced by Fred Quimby
Released on December 16, 1939
Distributed by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM)


Do your children a favor and introduce them to this cartoon at an early age. It was undoubtedly the stimulus for my own personal interest in both classical music and fine movies - telling the (fairy tale) story of how the Danube river became "blue". The screenplay and syncopation to Johann Strauss' classic "Blue Danube Waltz" are absolutely flawless. Clever plot twists are so well done that the unknowing viewer might believe that the music was written later than the plot to match it! It is truly unfortunate that Hollywood no longer produces art at this level of excellence. --IMDB user comment

Gerald McBoing-Boing
Directed by Robert Cannon
Story by Dr. Seuss (adapted by Phil Eastman and Bill Scott)
Produced by John Hubley (executive producer: Stephen Bosustow)
Released on January 25, 1951
Distributed by United Pictures of America via Columbia Pictures

{If the above embeddable should break, a redirect link: 1951 - Gerald McBoing-Boing (UPA)}


Gerald McBoing-Boing is the story of a little boy who speaks through sound effects instead of spoken words.
The story, written by Dr. Seuss, had originally appeared on a children's record in 1950 (scored by Gail Kubik, issued by Capitol Records, and read by radio personality Harold Peary).
The winner of the 1950 Academy Award for Best Animated Short, this short film was also voted #9 of The 50 Greatest Cartoons of all time by members of the animation field (1994). And in 1995, it was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".

Red Hot Riding Hood
Directed by Tex Avery
Music composed by Scott Bradley
Released on May 8, 1943
Distributed by by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM)

{If the above embeddable should break, a redirect link:red hot riding hood}


The story begins with the standard version of Little Red Riding Hood until the characters suddenly rebel at this done-to-death staging and demand a fresh approach.

The annoyed narrator accedes to their demands and starts the story again in a dramatically different arrangement.
Now the story is set in a contemporary urban setting, where Red is a sexy adult nightclub entertainer, and The Wolf is a debonair skirt chaser.

Tex Avery was obviously fascinated with this fairy tale, as he made at least three different re-tellings of it, as well as letting it intrude into some of his other cartoons.

Tweet Zoo

Released on January 12, 1957
Distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures

{If the above embeddable should break, a redirect link: Tweety And Sylvester - Tweet Zoo}


The cartoon, set in a city zoo, begins with a tour guide showing various animal exhibits to visitors.
The final stop (at least as far as viewers can see) is the exhibit featuring the "one and only example" of the Tweety Bird species.
This draws tag-along tourist Sylvester's interest. After the requisite "I tawt I taw a puddy tat" lines, Sylvester begins his latest pursuit.

Superman A#1

Superman: The Mad Scientist
Directed by Dave Fleischer
Written by Seymour Kneitel & I. Sparber
Released on September 26, 1941
Distributed by Fleischer Studios (via Paramount Pictures)

{If the above embeddable should break, a redirect link: Superman - The Mad Scientist by MarquisCanaday -- Revver Online Video Sharing Network}


"In the endless reaches of the universe, there once existed a planet known as Krypton, a planet that burned like a green star in the distant heavens. There, civilization was far advanced, and it brought forth a race of supermen, whose mental and physical powers were developed to the absolute peak of human perfection. But there came a day when giant quakes threatened to destroy Krypton forever. One of the planet's leading scientists, sensing the approach of doom, placed his infant son in a small rocket ship and sent it hurtling in the direction of Earth, just as Krypton exploded. The rocket sped through star-studded space, landing safely on Earth with its precious burden: Krypton's sole survivor. A passing motorist found the uninjured child and took it to an orphanage. As the years went by and the child grew to maturity, he found himself possessed of amazing physical powers. Faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, able to leap tall buildings in a single bound, the infant of Krypton is now the Man of Steel: SUPERMAN! To best be in a position to use his powers in a never-ending battle for truth and justice, Superman has assumed the disguise of Clark Kent, mild-mannered reporter for a great metropolitan newspaper."

The Gumby Show

Art Clokey's predecessor, featured here, paved the way toward the seminal creation of Clokey's The Gumby Show, a popular show making use of stop motion clay animation. Its continued syndication for 10+ years, in addition to its maintained appeal throughout the decades, helped propel the series to be culturally-relevant for 50+ years, and allowing the show to be picked back up with renewed series and stories for renewed generations.
Thank you, Art.


For this little featurette of a post, the first 3 episodes of Gumby will be shown:
  1. All three vignettes aired originally on March 16, 1957
  2. Moon Trip: Part 1
  3. Gumby on The Moon
  4. Trapped on the Moon

Moon Trip: Part 1

Gumby on the Moon
Directed by Art Clokey

{If the above embeddable should break, a redirect link: On The Moon | Gumby | Myspace video}




Trapped on the Moon
Directed by Art Clokey
{Currently unavailable}



Gumby goes to the moon in a toy rocket all by himself. This was the very first episode of this beloved series. Like a number of episodes, early on, it's actually a companion episode deal - in this case a two-parter with an ""alternate version"" - the first is MOON TRIP, the second TRAPPED ON THE MOON and the third/final: GUMBY ON THE MOON. In these very early ones, Gumby is EXTREMELY chunky, he is bluish green, and does NOT YET have Pokey. His voice is also MOST childlike here, improving later.

Dexter's Lab

Hanna-Barbera's Dexter's Laboratory told the story of Dexter, a bespectacled young boy who just happened to be a genius. The title referred to the enormous laboratory Dexter built in his room, unbeknownst to his parents. But despite his tremendous I.Q., Dexter could never figure out a way to ward off the plague that was his annoying older sister, Dee Dee.

Dexter was an outcast with a very active imagination. He was the apple in his teachers' collective eye, which, combined with his intelligence, made him an obvious target amongst his peers at Huber Elementary School in California. Escaping from the rest of the world, the oddly-accented Dexter took his revenge in the lab. With the aid of his computer, he designed weapons of mass destruction, like atomic-powered robots and other exotic machines.

The only person he couldn't escape was his ballet tights-wearing pest of a sister. Bug-eyed Dee Dee was the only person who knew of her little brother's lab and ongoing scientific experiments. In typical older sister fashion, she took it upon herself to single-handedly thwart any and all efforts made by Dexter, scientific or otherwise. She destroyed his lab, constantly made fun of him, and generally made life even more miserable for young Dex. However, in the name of science, Dexter usually prevailed, with his moronic parents none the wiser.

Dexter, tired of being too young to stay up for the Late Movie on TV, uses his Excellerager to make himself older. When Dee Dee messes up the mechanics and Dexter turns himself an old man, his family mistakes him for Grandpa (no one notices Dexter's disappearance). He's finally able to watch the late night movie, but before it starts airing he falls asleep.

Tom is on the beach relaxing alongside 'Toots' a beauteous white cat, which he, of course, immediately tries to woo.
Unfortunately, Jerry is busy eating up her picnic basket, and so Tom goes to work to try to rid himself of his pest and foil.

Spike is guarding a private fishing hole... in his sleep.
Tom see his opportunity and sneaks in to do some fishing, using Jerry as bait.
The usual problem is: Jerry refuses to stay hooked, and fishes up some real trouble of his own.
One particularly vicious "fish" turns out to be more than Tom or Jerry bargained for, especially when it wakes up Spike.
