My Updated Collection Part Two

[Cartoon King]

June Bugs really helped to fill a lot of the unedited cartoons on my list. It was great to finally add uncut copies of Hare Trimmed, Hare-less Wolf, Half Fare Hare, Wet Hare, Bonanza Bunny among others. My current collection puts me up to 1021 with about 3 to go. Only ones missing are Milk and Money (which I will soon be getting) and Hocus Pocus Pow Wow and Injun Trouble from 1969. What I don't understand is why these last two have never aired on television. From what I have read they do both feature Indians, but only recently have Indian toons been banned. Plus with some of what CN has been airing overnight such as Johnny Smith and Poker-Huntas, maybe they will air eventually. I hope. I hope. I hope.
One other toon I am interested in obtaining is the complete and uncut Duck Dodgers and the Return of the 24 1/2 Century. Another stupidly edited cartoon. (They ought to at least edit that title). As far as I know the only place to find it uncut is from a copy of Daffy Duck's Thanks-For-Giving Special. Have yet to find this one on ebay.



Never met a Looney Tunes I didn't like!

'Return' is also on the 'Cheese Chasers' VCD (plays on (almost) any DVD player).
I found it on ebay, though their rules forbid sale of items not marketed by the publisher in the country of delivery.
Translation: WB never released this in the US, so you are not supposed to sell it to usa buyers on ebay.
Regardless, it may sneak through...

NOTE:
AS I DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS EDITED, I CAN'T SAY IF THIS VERSION IS OR IS NOT EDITED. ADDITIONALLY, COUNT ON ITS BEING 'TIME-COMPRESSED'

From Jon's excelent Censored Cartoons Page (http://www.toonzone.net/looney/ltcuts/)


ABC: This cartoon originally aired as part of Daffy Duck's Thanks-For-Giving Special with several scenes that never were shown when this cartoon was later run on Saturday morning. Porky's use of a straightjacket gun that enwraps Marvin in the requisite manner was deleted. Near the cartoon's end, after Daffy with a laser gun starts to chase Porky, there is a scene wherein Marvin (still in the straightjacket) aims his "Planet Smasher" missile toward Earth and fires it. He then turns to the audience with advice not to fret or worry, because the missile will hit target in three Earth days, giving Earthlings plenty of time to "...get all of (their) affairs in order." He also says, "Isn't it peachy? Just think, all of your fuel problems will be over!" The cartoon on ABC jumped from Daffy chasing Porky, to the "That's all, Folks!" ending card, with Marvin saying, "Don't worry, folks. It's only a cartoon!"
Nickelodeon: Same edits as on ABC; plus, the "That's all, Folks!" closing was gone.
Video: Same editing as with ABC on the videotapes MARVIN THE MARTIAN & K-9: 50 YEARS ON EARTH, MARVIN THE MARTIAN: SPACE TUNES, and the BUGS & FRIENDS Japanese laserdisc set.


I think I actually have that special on tape, I'll find it and check it out.

Amazon.com has Daffy's Thanks-For-Giving Special for only $9.95, and it ships within 2-3 days. I ordered a copy of another out of print TV special video, How Bugs Bunny Won the West, a couple months back from Amazon with no problems.

a. the VCD title is 'Bugs & Marvin "Martian Mayhem"'
b. it is edited (but has the 'it's only a cartoon line', which, absent the imminent destruction of the earth, makes no sense... - great editing!)
