Owners of BEANY & CECIL?

[Thad Komorowski]

Just out of curiosity, what company owns these classic TV cartoons? :confused:

As I believe Tex Avery once said of Bob Clampett -- "He was the packrat. He saved everything," inculding the rights to the Beany and Cecil cartoons. That's the leverage the Clampett family had over CN to air everything uncut on 'The Bob Clampett Show,' since they owned those cartoons, along with the rights to the photos and home movies Clampett took over the years.

Thanks, John. What would be the network we would most likely see them on, if the series was ever re-released to TV? Boomerang?

Cartoon Network has actually shown B&C segments as part of "The Bob Clampett Show".

Boomerang would make a lot of sense for B&C. But still, that's up to Sody, his widder, and their children...I believe Rob (Robert Jnr., officially) runs the company day-to-day.

You can try www.bobclampett.com, tho it was out of service the last time I looked, or use paper mail to write to:

Bob Clampett Productions LLC
729 N Seward St
Hollywood CA 90038

Too, a lot of B&C is on video.

The Clampett family didn't have anything to do with the Clampett cartoons running uncut.

Since your one of the men in charge I'll go by what you say, but why do the Bob Clampett Show cartoons run uncut while those on the Chuck Jones and Tex Avery shows are the same sliced-up ones that appear on CN's regular Warner Bros. shows?

I know the former mostly uses the undubbed (and unedited) cartoons from the MGM-UA Vidde Oh! tape series from 1987 while the latter uses the 1995 dubbed versions, but surely the undubbed/uncut pre-48 Jones and Averys (along with the earlier un-restored MGM Averys) must be lying around somewhere nearby and could be used instead of the dubbed and edited versions now being seen.
