Good work, JT! You've won an-all expense paid FANTASY vacation to sandy, sexy, sunny Hawaii! When your ready, just start FANTASIZING you're there:)

As for YOUR question, it was ol' Deputy Dawg!

My turn again :
Who invented Woody Woodpecker's maniacal laugh?

Mel Blanc of course! Am I right? If I am, it's my turn! What are the only two Paramount cartoons Katnip didn't appear with Herman and Buzzy?




-Thad

[chuckamuck43]

You're right, ThadK! It WAS Mel!
You win a Playmate! An IMAGINARY playmate!

As for your question - I think Herman appeared without Katnip in "Slappily Married". I've no idea about the Buzzy cartoon...:(

[Pietro]

OK guys, what is the name of the second "Fox and Crow" cartoon released?

-Pietro:D

[Thad Komorowski]

Well, the answer to Pietro's question is "Woodman Spare That Tree". MY question was asking which cartoons ONLY Katnip appeared in, WITHOUT Herman or Buzzy. The answers were "City Kitty" and "Feast and Furious" (Katnip played opposite "Finny the Goldfish" in this one-shot).

MY NEW QUESTION:

How many 3 Little Pigs cartoons were made, and what were they called?




-Thad

[Do-Do]

Ooh, I know this one!!
There were four 3 Little Pigs cartoons:
Three Little Pigs, The Three Little Wolves, The Practical Pig, and the wartime short The Thrifty Pig.

If I'm right, my question is:
What was the last Happy Harmony cartoon?

[Jack]

Was it "Pipe Dreams?"

If it was, then here is mine: What non-WB theatrical feature did many WB artists work on right after the studio closed?


Jack :confused:

Ooh, I'm sorry..the correct answer was "Little Bantamweight".

Just a guess - Gay Puree?

Well, I guess that's sort of right, it was by UPA, but released by Warner brothers. I was actually thinking of "Hey There, It's Yogi Bear!"

...and NUTs, I should have known it wasn't Pipe Dreams :( Do I now have to pay the penalty?


Jack :D

Yes.
You are sentenced to two - no, that's WAY too cruel - one hour of watching Scooby-Doo!
Now go and sin no more.....

Thad or DoDo - one of you guys get to ask the next one, right?

Actually, there was one more --- you forgot "The Big Bad Wolf" (that's the one which also featured Little Red Riding Hood).

Who can answer this one...

What was the name of the Woody Woodpecker cartoon which was released in 3-D?


-Jon

[chuckamuck43]

Was it TERMITES FROM MARS?

[Jerry Mouse]

Originally posted by chuckamuck43

Wasn't that a David Bowie song? :D

[Jon Cooke]

Originally posted by chuckamuck43

Nope... (though that one would have been pretty cool in 3-D, wouldn't it?) :)


-Jon

[Thad Komorowski]

Easy. The Woody cartune is "The Hypnotic Hick". Here's a question:

What were the only two Walter Lantz cartunes where Andy Panda appears with Wally Walrus?




-Thad

[Jon Cooke]

Originally posted by Thad K

I believe the answer would be: "Dog Tax Dodgers" (featuring Andy, Wally as the dog catcher, and Andy's dog, Dizzy) and "The Woody Woodpecker Polka" (Andy only has a cameo in that one, but I can't think of another).


-Jon

[Thad Komorowski]

Actually, the second one I was thinking of was "Banquet Busters". Here's another Lantz question:

What was Oswald the Lucky Rabbit's last cartoon?




-Thad

[Jon Cooke]

How could I have forgotten "Banquet Busters"? Oops...

Oswald's last cartoon? Wasn't that "The Egg Cracker Suite"?


-Jon

[Pietro]

Yes actually that was "The Egg-Cracker Suite."

Now let's see who can answer this one:

What is the name of a little known Columbia cartoon star of the late 40s? (I'm not thinking of Lil' Anber or Flippy, BTW)

-Pietro:D

-Pietro:D
Tito and Burrito?

[Pietro]

No, I was thinking of someone else.......

[Jack]

Superkatt?

[Pietro]

Yup. That's correct! That's absolutely 100% correct!

Now, see if you can get this one,
what is the name of the first "Fox and Crow" cartoon
and who directed it?

-Pietro:D

[Jack]

The Fox and the Grapes, directed (and produced and written, I believe) by Frank Tashlin.

Here's a spiffy question, what two theatrical cartoons did Paul Julian direct?



Jack :D

[Thad Komorowski]

The only one I know he directed was UPA's "Baby Boogie". What's the second one Jack?

Here's a question:

Who wrote the script for Paramount's 1951 Noveltoon "Mice Paradise"?





-Thad

[Jack]

According to the Internet Movie Database, he directed a cartoon called "The Hangman" in 1964. Don't know who released it, though.


Jack :D

[Pietro]

Originally posted by Thad K

I believe that Izzy Sparber not only directed "Mice Paradise" but he also wrote the script for it as well.

Now see if you can get this one:

Name all the "Toby the Pup" cartoons that still exist.

-Pietro:D

[Thad Komorowski]

Actually, Carl Meyer and Jack Mercer wrote the script for "Mice Paradise".

I think only "Toby in the Museum", "Toby the Milkman", "Halloween", and "Down South" are the only ones that exist.




-Thad

[Pietro]

Well, actually there's one more "Toby" cartoon that exists, it's called "Toby in Circus Time" and the print exists at the UCLA film arcive.

Now what was the name of Betty Boop's boyfriend?

-Pietro:D

[Joe Tully]

It's Freddie...blech. :)

In the Laff-A-Lympics, what was the name of the Muttley look-alike?

[Jon Cooke]

Originally posted by Joe Tully

Mumbley. And the Dick Dastardly look-alike was Dread Baron.

My turn:
Porky Pig had quite a few pet dogs over the years. Name four of them.

-Jon

[Thad Komorowski]

"Rover's Rival" - Rover
"Porky's Hare Hunt" - Zero
"Porky's Party" - Black Fury
"Porky's Tire Trouble" - Flat Foot Flookey


Now here's one:

Throughout the Herman & Katnip series, some of Herman's cousins actually had names. Can you name four?





-Thad

[Jon Cooke]

Originally posted by Thad K

Uh, wasn't there one named Louie... ?? That's all I can remember at the moment. :p


-Jon

[Pietro]

Here are some names I caught in "Naughty But Mice":

Hiram
Zeke
Louie

(also as one of Herman's injured cousins crosses Hiram, Zeke, and Louie of the list we see two other names, Elmer and Clem)
------------------------------------------------------

Also, Joe, when I said 'Who is Betty Boop's Boyfriend" I meant Bimbo the Dog.:D
------------------------------------------------------

Anyway, try and guess this one,
Who was Porky's short-tempered co-star in 1937?

-Pietro:D

[chuckamuck43]

-Pietro:D [/B]

Gabby Goat from the Ub Iwerks directed PORKY AND GABBY

The quizmaster returns with THIS one -

Can you give the name and color of all the members of Top Cat's gang?

[Jack]

I kind of struggled on that one until I remembered Spook.

Top Cat: yellow
Choo Choo: pink
Benny The Ball: blue
Brain: orange/reddish colored
Spook: somewhat greenish?
Fancy Fancy: tan

If that is correct, then here is a new one: What animated cartoon studio did Bob Clampett work as an uncredited story editor for in the 1940s?


Jack :D

[chuckamuck43]

You are correct sir!

As for your question, I'm gonna make a BIG guess and say - Columbia?

What's so funny?

[Jack]

Originally posted by chuckamuck43

Yep, he worked for Screen Gems/Columbia as an uncredited story editor. Now, who were the producers of screen gems at the time (roughly 1946 or so)?


Jack :D

[Pietro]

Originally posted by Jack

I believe they were Ray Katz and Henry Binder.

Now let's see if you can answer this one!:
What were the first names given to The Fox and the Crow
in their comic books?

-Pietro:D

[Thad Komorowski]

Fauntelroy Fox and Crawford Crow

Here's my question:

What Walter Lantz cartunes did Mike Maltese write scripts for?


-Thad

[Joe Tully]

Originally posted by Pietro Shakarian

heh, I considered that but thought that was (a) too easy and (b) a dogfriend as opposed to boyfriend. :D

[Jon Cooke]

Originally posted by Thad K

Oh man... I can't cheat and use the Internet Movie Database (their info for Lantz, Columbia, and Famous shorts kind of stinks).

I *think* one of them was "Helter Shelter". "Legend of Rock-a-Bye Point" was another, I think. And "Square Shootin' Square"? I'm going by memory here... :p


-Jon

[Thad Komorowski]

Well, you got most of them. He also wrote the script for "Witch Crafty".


-Thad

[Joe Tully]

Looks like this thread died out...Fortunately I have a new question. :bosko:

During the course of Rocky & His Friends/The Bullwinkle Show, Boris Badenov had many aliases. Name 3 of them.

[Pietro]

Natasha (of course)
Fearless Leader
......and I can't think of a third one..........

-Pietro:D

[Joe Tully]

Originally posted by Pietro Shakarian

-Pietro:D

:confused:

I asked for aliases, which means his other names. You know, usually he walks up to R&B in a costume and says "Hi, my name is ____"

You fill in the blank. :bosko:

P.S. If you're looking for people who worked with Boris, Mr. Big would count too, along with the Light Fingered 5 minus 2, the Metal Munching Moon Mice and the Moon Men who sent him the Mice. Probably some others too.

[Pietro]

Do'h! Oh well! I guess I have to read closer next time)

-Pietro:D

[Danielle]

Uhhhhhh......was one Laughing Latvian?

[Joe Tully]

I don't think so. I can think of at least 4 or 5, and I know that he's used others that I just can't remember the exact names for. If I don't get any answers by tonight I'll post the ones I can think of...I think that someone else must be able to at least think of one or two.

[Jon Cooke]

I remember-
D.W. Giftter
The Big Cheese
Capt. Horatio Hornswoggle (I don't remember if that was Boris or just a bit player, but it's hard to forget a great name like that)
And I seem to recall Boris as Santa Claus on one occasion.


-Jon

[Joe Tully]

Sounds good!

Other ones I can think of:

Pete McMoss (At a loss? Call Pete McMoss!)
Hemlock Solmes (Box-top Mystery)
Alfred Hitchhike (Last Angry Moose, I think)
The Exterminator (Rue Brittania)
Sir Hillary (relative of "Uncle Chumbley")

[Jon Cooke]

I guess that means I can ask the next question:

What two classic Warner Bros. cartoons feature the street address "1605 Maple Drive"?


-Jon

[Thad Komorowski]

Originally posted by Jon Cooke

It was "Puss n' Booty" and its semi-remake "I Taw a Putty Tat". Here's another question:


Which two Harveytoons are considered "cheater cartoons" (using clips from other cartoons)? Hint, one is a Casper, one is a Herman & Katnip.


-Thad

[Jon Cooke]

I know one was "Katnip's Big Day". Not sure about the Casper one.

I'm surprised there weren't more cheater cartoons with the "Harvey" characters. Considering how many Popeye cheaters Famous did...


-Jon

[Bobby B]

Originally posted by Jon Cooke

"Ghost Writers"
"Casper's Birthday Party"


Also, "Not Ghoulty" reused footage from "Casper Takes A Bow Wow" and "Ghost of the Town" at the beginning, but the rest was new animation.

[chuckamuck43]

You forgot to ask one, so I'll fill in -

Heebie & Jeebie, (a one-eyed monster and skeleton) were sidekicks to what early sixties TV cartoon character?

Extra credit if you can tell us what celebrity this mystery character sounded like...

[Thad Komorowski]

It's really noticable how Paramount's budget was really going down, and how "Katnip's Big Day" looks like it was produced on a 99 cents budget.


-Thad

[Jon Cooke]

Originally posted by chuckamuck43

Milton the Monster. (I have never actually seen a "Milton" cartoon, so I can't answer the extra credit question).

Question:
Name three classic Warner Bros. cartoons (BESIDES "The Great Piggy Bank Robbery"!!) that contain a reference to Dick Tracy.


-Jon

[chuckamuck43]

Right! And Milton sounded very much like the USMC's finest - Gomer Pyle!

Wish I could answer YOUR question...I'm thinkin'....and mah head hurts.....

[Jack]

I can only think of Two, "Golden Yeggs" (Elmer's got his Dick Twacy Hat), and "Porky Pig's Feat" ("Look, a new Dick Tracy character, Prune Face").


Jack :confused:

[Jon Cooke]

Originally posted by Jack

There's also...

-- "Farm Frolics" (dog can hardly wait to read "Dick Tracy" in the comics)
-- "Hobby Horse Laffs" (a man on bus asks to read Dick Tracy in the newspaper)
-- "Elmer's Pet Rabbit" (Elmer sits down with the paper, says he wonders what Dick Twacy is up to)
-- "Knights Must Fall" ("...a new Dick Tracy character: accordion head!")

Okay, who wants to ask the next question? :bosko:


-Jon

[Jack]

I'll ask a question :D

What were the working titles for "Homeless Hare" and "Scent-Imental Over You?" Both answers can be found on the internet, BTW.


Jack :bosko:

[Jon Cooke]

The working title for "Homeless Hare" was "Blueprint Bunny".


-Jon

[Jack]

According to model sheets at looneytunes.com, the working title seems to have been "Forever Ambushed." That model sheet also has the most beautiful version of Pepe (billed as "Stinky" on the model sheet) ever designed, IMO.

So, who wants to ask the next question?


Jack :D

[Thad Komorowski]

Okay, I'll ask the next one:

What were the titles of the Tommy Tortoise and Moe Hare cartoons? Hint: there's MORE than four of them.


-Thad

[Do-Do]

Winner By a Hare, Rabbit Punch, Sleuth But Sure, Mr. Money Gags, Turning the Fables, and Turtle Scoop.

Here's a question for all y'all:
What was the first commericially released cartoon to have a syncronized soundtrack? (Hint: It ain't "Steamboat Willie")

[chuckamuck43]

Was it Disney's PLANE CRAZY?

[Pietro]

The answer to Do-Do's question is the 1928 Van Beuren cartoon, "Dinner Time."

Now, WITHOUT looking at your copy of "Daffy Duck's Quackbusters," what is the telephone number to Daffy's ghost-exterminating service?

-Pietro:D

[Do-Do]

Isn't it Fleischer's "My Old Kentucky Home"? That one is from 1926.
