The greatest cartoon opening scene

[tvisland]

One of my favourites is Henpecked Duck
with Porky pig as the divorce Judge
Just hammering away at the bench
It's really funny almost spooky...

[Patrick McCart]

The greatest opening is the opening of Porky's Poppa.

EVERYBODY SING!

[Matthew Hunter]

"Tale of Two Mice"

The opening that zooms in on "Mouseachusetts", with the Powerhouse music

"Gonzales' Tamales'
-the two guys taking a siesta and talking about Speedy Gonzales

Others:
"Beep Prepared'
"Porky's Poppa"?
"Hittin' the Trail To Hallelujia Land"
"Crowing Pains"

Definitely "Wabbit Twouble". Elmer is driving to Jellostone Park and his car is cha-chaing.

I also like "Barbary Coast Bunny". Bugs is tunneling until he hits a big rock...that happens to be gold! I just love Bugs' ravings: "I'm independently on the realm of near-avarice!" or something like that. It was great.

'KILL THE WABBIT!'

"A Ham in a Role" -- Warner Bros. making fun of all the things the stuff shirt/anti-violence people even back in 1949 complained was wrong with Warner Bos. cartoons.

The dog's opening Shakespearian-like seliliquy is a perfect parody of the lines written by all those movie critics who would be praising UPA to the heavens only a year later after "Gerald McBoing Boing" came out. And the fact that the cartoon ends on the same note it started on makes it even better.
