Classic cartoons in movies

[Cartman]

How many movies can you think of that shows a character watching classic cartoons?


Bugs Bunny's Christmas Carol is featured in Lethal Weapon

Mickey's Trailer in The Outsiders

Springtime in One Hundred and One Dalmatians

The Wacky Wabbit in a TV movie called David's Mother, which is about a mother who struggles with her retarded son

That's about all I can think of at this point. :yakko: :wakko: :dot:

[Jack]

Close Encouters of the Third Kind: "Duck Dogers and the 24th 1/2 Century"

A cheesy TV movie about killer cable boxes (forgot the title): "Ding Dog Daddy"

Can't think of any others at the moment.

The horror film "It's Alive!".
Two characters have a conversation in front of a TV while a Roadrunner cartoon is on.

Who Framed Roger Rabbit?
Roger and Eddie hide out in a theater when a Goofy cartoon is playing.

[Jon Cooke]

"Drip-Along Daffy" in JFK.
"Falling Hare" in Gremlins 2.
"Satan's Waitin'" in one of those Batman movies.

"The Mouse Comes To Dinner" (Tom and Jerry) was in E.T.
"Falling Hare" was in Gremlins 2
"Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs" was in Gremlins
"Robin Hood Daffy" was in Howard the Duck

[Thad Komorowski]

Flubber has a bunch of Disney cartoon clips, including "Donald's Better Self" and "Boat Builders".

Up In Smoke has the kids watching "A Hick, a Slick, and a Chick"

"Chow Hound" was in Cats and Dogs.

Two gripes, though:

1) The soundtrack was obviously from "Hillbilly Hare".

2) Why show this cartoon in a movie where the dogs are supposed to be the heroes?

[SuperFunk]

Also, there is a scene in the movie WILDCATS (with Goldie Hawn) in which you can hear the soundtrack to DUCK AMUCK.

RED HOT RIDING HOOD was in THE MASK.

So far that's all I know.

[Larry T]

Puttin' On The Dog (MGM) is in "Pink Floyd: The Wall".

What's Up Doc? (WB) is in the Barbra Striesand movie of the same name.

[Tintin]

[Naraht]

not a movie, but a dumber of Daffy toons were shown @ times on Babylon 5....

[DarthGonzo]

A clip from "The Milky Waif" (MGM) appears in the film Cat's Eye. In fact, you can hear the cartoon's music begin even before they cut to a shot of the TV.

Yes, it was in Batman Forever. Within the same scene was "The Stupid Cupid".

[Thad Komorowski]

In the McKenzie Brothers movie Strange Brew clips from the Tom and Jerry cartoons "The Flying Cat" and "The Little Orphan". Interestingly enough, the father's (of the McKenzie Bros.) voice is dubbed over by Mel Blanc, using his Yosemite Sam/Mr. Spacely voice.

-"The Flintstones" Barney Rubble talks to John Cusack in Better off Dead and a character is watching the show in Night Shift

"Falling Hare" was played in a movie in which these kids lock thier parents in the basement to keep them from getting a divorce, and sound clips from "Chow Hound" were used in "Conspiracy Theory," I think.

I'm surprised I didn't think of it, too:

"Feed the Kitty"
"Case of the Missing Hare"
as well as bits of the "Behind the Meatball" soundtrack

[Sogturtle]

Iffffff memory serves me...

Then Peter Bogdonavich's directorial debut "Targets" (starring horror-great Boris Karloff) featured a scene of a Roadrunner cartoon at a drive-in movie (even as the serial killer stalked...). (Also notable for a young Jack Nicholson on the screen!!) Buuuuut I've never seen the movie.

[Pietro]

I heard once, that in BAMBOOZLED, a clip from "All This and Rabbit Stew" appears.

-Pietro:D

[Pietro]

And in a movie MST3k made fun of ("Merlin's Shop of Wonders"), you can see scenes from Ub Iwerk's ComiColor cartoon, "Balloon Land."

-Pietro:D

Yep, it does. The movie is about black stereotypes. There's also clips from "Jungle Jitters", "Scrub Me Mama with a Boogie Beat", and "Eliza on Ice". Spike Lee (the director) tried to have Warner Bros. allow him to use the scene in "Any Bonds Today" where Bugs immitates Al Jolson, but to no avail, for those who have seen the film.

In animation series, here are the many list:

Animaniacs: What's Opera, Doc?, Duck Amuck, Porky in Wackyland on one episode.

Tiny Toon Adventures: Hot Cross Bunny

That reminded me, I saw a movie on TNT a few years ago --- a rather bad horror movie involving the invasion of a small town by giant rabbits (seriously... :rolleyes: ). Anyway, one scene took place at a drive-in, which was playing a Tom & Jerry cartoon on the screen.

I believe that was "Astronaut Woody". Surprisingly it wasn't "Astro-Nut Woody". :p





-Thad

[Billy]

In the 1993 Simpsons halloween special,the ending mimics 'Merrie Christmas,charlie brown'

[Matt Yorston]

Actually, Thad, the title of that 1966 Woody cartoon IS "Astronut Woody" except that it isn't hyphenated.

[DR. BELCH]

--but a bit of Eek! The Cat's opening credits appear in an ep of The X-Files (the one with the eugenically-created unrelated pychotic hyperintelligent twins).

[Tintin]

Don't forget Dr. Seuss How the Grinch Stole Christmas on the 2 first Home Alone with Macauly Culkin!!! :D
