cn sending mixed signals?

[BillC]

HI folks.

The other night CN showed "BACALL to ARMS" Complete with Scenes at the end where Bogart shoots the wolf takes the cigarette to have it explode in bogarts face and with a Rochester voice saying "I can work for Mr. Benny now!"

and this would not be stereotyping how? but they refuse to show a few bugs toons with even less a censorship problem?
(in my eyes any way)

You mean the Bob Clampett show, the only show on CN that may have had to show all cartoons uncut for cooperation from Clampett's family.

Hi Jack,

yes on the Bob Clampett show. Ok even if they made an agreement with the Clampett's CN could refuse to air
certain toons (don't get me wrong I'm glad they aired it and I'm even happier that I recorded it! I just don't understand their (CN) logic.


:confused:

The Clampett family were only dealing with CN, NOT with WB Animation;
otherwise they might have been able to show banned cartoons e.g. "Coal Black
an' de Sebben Dwarfs."

anyone else notices that some fo the toon looks butchered??
seans(sp) that didn't flow right??

Bacall To Arms is pretty raunchy as it is, so I suspect that WB edited it after Clampett left the studio. (He was given no credit for the cartoon)

The Big Snooze also seems to have a lot of post-production editing (No credit again.)

I suspect the stuff that got cut out still exists since back then, throwing away technicolor negatives was really expensive.

I'm pretty sure Clampett received no credit because he had already left the studio and was working elsewhere by the time those were released, a common WB practice up until around 1960.

A lot of Clampett's cartoons have strange editing in them. See RUSSIAN RHAPSODY for an example.
