I'm glad I taped LNB&W tonight, I needed a better copy of the uncut "Patient Porky".

I finally got to see the time compressed Porky's Duck Hunt...

I was working on my PC when it came on and I suddenly heard an extremely sped-up version of the LT theme! "What the heck?!?!"

[Tintin]

Isn't it edited on "Porky's Hero Agency"?

[Matthew Hunter]

I thought it was interesting to see "Porky Pig's Feat" with a title card. Also, I hadn't seen "Porky's Party" in black and white before... and this is one of the few that I think benefits from a color version. I whish they'd turn the logo off during this one though, I mean, the letter looks like it's telling Porky "Just Say CARTOON NETWORK'".

The black-and-white version was uncut. It is the computer colorized version that is shown edited.

Just wondering, but is the computer-colorized version of The Henpecked Duck time-compressed? The opening music sounds REALLY sped up!

No. The reason why the opening music is sped up is because it's the wrong opening music. Most of the 1941-43 LTs had their opening music 'clipped' back in the 1950s when Warner's sold their B&Ws to Guild Films. When the computer colorized versions were done, for some reason, only on the 1942-43 season cartoons (with the concentric circles) did anyone care enough to put the correct music back on the openings.

On the others, they took the music from either the 1936-37 season or from the 1939-40 season and stuck that on the opening titles. Only trouble was, Stalling shortened the opening theme music by a second or two in 1941, so to compensate, they had to speed up the themes so they would end when the title card music began (1936's "Fish Tales" has the same problem, and they didn't do a good job cutting the music on that one).
