See all of Chuck Jones' "Inki" cartoons!

[Goopy Geer]

Chuck Jones is gone now, and there are some people who want to make sure some of his cartoons are gone too. But that'll never happen as long as we keep watching them! So now all five of Chuck Jones' Inki cartoons are on my FTP server, in both RealVideo and DivX versions! The cartoons are:

1) "Little Lion Hunter" (1939)
2) "Inki and the Lion" (1941)
3) "Inki and the Minah Bird" (1943)
4) "Inki at the Circus" (1947)
5) "Caveman Inki" (1950)

Some of these were on the FTP before, but I redid all the files so they'd look as good as possible. Download them and then talk about these almost-forgotton masterpieces here! Don't miss these great cartoons!

The FTP login info is in my sig...

Thank you! Did anybody else watch them? "Inki and the Minah Bird" is my favorite because it's insane. :eek:

I STILL have NO CLUE how the hell to open an FTP site! :confused: :mad: :confused:

I agree - "Inki and the Minah Bird" is the best of the group. I'd say I liked "Inki at the Circus" 2nd best. I don't think I had ever seen "Caveman Inki" before - I enjoyed it! Thanks Goopy!

If I remember right, there isn't any dialog in any of these. For some reason my kids seem facinated by dialog-less cartoons... :D

Before I watched them all at once here today I hadn't really thought about how much the design of the various lions changed while the other recurring characters did not...

Anyway, thanks for uploading these Goopy!!! :bosko:

My favorite moment in the entire series is in Inki at the Circus, when Inki and the dog are trying to negotiate the tightrope, and it starts bouncing to the Fingal's Cave beat. The timing is absolutely outstanding!

I'd gone about ten years without seeing an Inki cartoon before I recently aquired them trough trades, but one moment that endured in my memory was the Minah Bird's splitting the mountain open as his entrance to Caveman Inki. I always thought that was hilarious, too.

Inki and the Minah Bird, at least to me, has some of the best animation in the whole Warners library, particularly that of the lion( big props to Shamus Culhane). Also, as Goopy Geer eloquently stated, Inki and the Minah Bird is a totally bizzare cartoon, especially for a mainstream studio!

The first two cartoons are some of the better of Jones's early work. They are quiet and slowly paced, though they are more interesting because of the Minah Bird's presence.

As I've said several times during my membership at Toonzone, the Inki series is one of my absolute favorites, and it's sad to see these cartoons being ignored. Inki wasn't even mentioned in the Chuck Jones special on PBS last year! I'm going to keep a faint hope alive that Inki will make the cut on the DVDs (I have an equally faint hope that the DVDs are going to come out at all :rolleyes: )

I noticed that too, but knew why they would "forget" about Inki. People would see a clip of Inki doing nothing offensive or steriotypical and cry "racist." I agree with everything you said about the cartoons, though. I find the animation, timing, and layout in those cartoons, the last three in particular, to be some of the best work to ever come from the Jones unit.

... for making the "Inki" shorts available to us. These are films that are "true" Jones - perfect examples of what animated cartoons are capable of; surrealism in the first place.
I remember having seen at lest three of them on German TV, but that was years ago.

Postscriptum: I took the liberty of uploading a rare (I think it is, here in Germany at least, but certainly also in the U.S.) Disney wartime propaganda short, "The Seven Wise Dwarfs", onto your FTP account. Thanks again for sharing, Goopy.

[Goopy Geer]

Thanks wundermild! I'd never seen "The Seven Wise Dwarfs" before.

I added something else today... a DivX file of "Bugs Bunny Nips the Nips"!

Hey Andrew Gilmore! Read the instructions on my site (http://members.fortunecity.com/goopygeer/) if you still don't know what to do.

[Andrew Gilmore]

I HAVE read the instructions already.. hm, maybe I just THINK I already have an FTP program installed.. heck, I'll figure it out somehow.

[Mike Toole]

Thanks for the Bugs cartoon, Goopy! I hope you continue to add cartoons in DiVX format, because IMO it's easiest to deal with-- larger than realvideo files, but much more versatile. (For example, I can make DiVX files into VCDs-- can't do that with realvideo!)

[Andrew Gilmore]

I can't download the FTP program because it's for Windows.. does this mean Mac users have no means of access to all those 'toons? :( :mad: :mad: :mad: :( :( :( :mad: :(

Hey, Andrew! I am a fellow Mac user! :D

A good FTP program for the Mac is called Fetch. I use Fetch version 3.0.3 (this version of it is freeware. The newer versions of Fetch are 15-day demo versions. Phooey.).

Anyway, I did a search and you can download it here off this college's server:

I plan to make DivX files for all the cartoons that I made RealVideo files for. But it's gonna take a looong time. I've tried making VideoCD MPEG files too, but they always end up out of sync! :(

On Caveman Inki, the debut was the same scens of the short "Pre-Hysterical Hare".

It comes back connection refused for me. Does that mean the server is already reached the limmit of users allowed at one time or did I screw something up?

I get the exact same thing. Up until a couple of weeks ago, I could connect easily. I'd get server full on occasion, but not connection refused. :eek: :confused: :(

I just set it to try forty times before giving up. No dice. I'll try some more things and let you know if I succeed.

Try EO video or Virtual Dub might fix it

[Feslmogh]

Where did you go, Goopy?

Glad You Came Back!

I had some toons on a TDK cd-rom but part of the label side came off (ARRRG!):coach:

Now I redownload the episodes!

[Daniel P]

This is a really old thread.

I thought Goopy's server went down! How did you download them Felsmogh?

[Billy]

For a moment I thought Goopy had come back! It's just an old thread that Psycho Fox has brought up. And yes, the server is still down.

But I am curious to how Fesmolgh managed to redownload them today...was the server temporarily back up?

[Davesnothere]

Psycho Fox offered some advice to Goopy not realizing that his web and FTP sites are HISTORY. But only temporarily, I hope! :bosko:
