How many cartoons with BING CROSBY can we name??

[Jon Cooke]

Just for fun, how many classic cartoon shorts (from any studio) feature caricatures / references to Bing Crosby?

Sorry... no prizes or anything. :p

I am kind of interested to see how many we come up with.

I'll start...

WB:
"Let It Be Me"
"Bingo Crosbyana"
"Curtain Razor"
"Slap Happy Pappy"
"What's Cookin' Doc?"
"Catch as Cats Can"
"Swooner Crooner"
"Hollywood Canine Canteen"

Paramount:
"Popeye's 20th Anniversary"
"Bout With a Trout" (Little Lulu)

Here are some appearances made by Bing I can think of at the moment:

"I've Got to Sing a Torch Song" (1933/WB/Merrie Melodies)
"The Peace Conference" (1935/Columbia/Krazy Kat)
"Toyland Broadcast" (1934/MGM/Happy Harmonies)

-Pietro:D

What's Up Doc?
The Woods Are Full of Cuckoos

hi-
long time no post-
not since the old board
even forgot what name I used back then

lest we forget "crosby columbo and valle"

[Matthew Hunter]

Here are a couple more WB cartoons that have Crosby gags in them:

"Crosby Columbo and Valee"
"The Woods Are Full Of Cuckoos"
"I Only Have Eyes For You"
"Hollywood Steps Out"

-Matthew

I would have picked the same cartoons, but here's a cartoon that nobody has guessed that features Bing Crsoby.

(Universal/Lantz)
TOYLAND PREMIERE 1934

[Tintin]

Also on a episode of Mafalda (TV and comic), Mafalda's father say "Moi j'étais un fan de Bing Crosby, alors ça vous gêne?" (Mine are a Bing Crosby fan, what's your trouble?"

[Jon Cooke]

A few more WB cartoons I just thought of...

"The Penguin Parade"
"Toytown Hall"
"The Old Grey Hare"


-Jon

[J Lee]

Bing didn't, but Crosby's horse made it into "Porky's Preview," which I guess counts as at least a half-credit...

[Jack]

I wouldn't be surprised if that Little Audrey cartoon they used to have on the Harveytoons site had Crosby in it, but I don't recall.

Another honerable mention:
The Old Grey hare
His horse still hasn't come in yet...

"Happy Birthdaze" (Popeye)-Popeye: "Ya look just like Bob Hope!" [Shorty puts huge gun to head.] "...I...I...I means Bing Crosby"! [Shorty's face "morphs" into Bing's.]

"The Island Fling" (Popeye)-Robinson Crusoe (Bluto) has a Hope chest and a Crosby chest.

"The Baby Sitter" (Little Lulu)-Baby versions of Hope, Crosby, and Jerry Colonna (and many more, including Cab Calloway!) appear in the dream sequence.

Wasn't the character of "Cock Robin" in Disney's "Who Killed Cock Robin?" based on Bing?

[Brandon Pierce]

According to the book "Mouse Under Glass" (a book any Disney fan would find interesting), in the movie The Great Mouse Detective, Basil's character was originally going to be based on Bing Crosby.

Does the professor in KATNIP COLLEGE count?
It wasn't der Bingle, but it sure was his voice and character.
