"Dubbed Version" end cards

[BlueAngelGal]

I've become very familiar with the "Dubbed Version" end card with the concentric orange circles. I have to ask, though, how long has there been a second "Dubbed Version" ending, this one with Porky in the drum? I saw it last night on "Hare Ribbin'" and wondered how I missed that, how out of it I must be :).

Not on "Hare Ribbin," which has the dubbed Merrie Melodies-Schelsinger ending. The Bugs LT cartoons with the Porky ending are "Buckaroo Bugs" and "Hare Conditioned" in color, and "Porky's Hare Hunt" and "Porky Pig's Feat" in B&W/computer colorized (and the version of the latter cartoon CN has clips the end title card, anyway).

The Porky "That's all, Folks!" ending -- and the Bugs "And that's the end" closing title actually made the folks in the editing room work a little bit when they did the dubbed versions. They couldn't just slap the same MM/LT ending on those cartoons that they did with the others, since they had to synch up Porky's voice to the soundtrack, and there are three Porky endings, one with "Produced by Leon Scheslinger," a second that says "Produced by Warner Bros. Cartoons, Inc., " and a third, which just says "A Warner Bros. Cartoon."

So for the most part, instead of sitting there for hours trying to match the sound and image, they either did each end title individually, bringing up the dubbed graphic as the cartoon ended, or they clipped both the sound and image from one LT with the drum ending and used it on another.

It was definitely "Hare Ribbin'" with the Porky ending, I'd swear to it -- I even wrote it down at the time, I was so struck by it.
So exactly how many "dubbed" endings are there? Before last night, I'd only seen one, the orange concentric circles.

The post Schlesinger cartoons also have a dubbed ending. They use red concentric circles with a capital "F" in the "That's all Folks!" as well as the Merrie Melodies end font everyone is used to.

Are you sure you weren't thinking of "Hare Conditioned", directed by Chuck Jones. That's the one where Bugs is chased around the department store by the "Great Gildersneeze" ("Kind of outsmarted you, eh, little chum?"). That's the only Bugs I can think of that has always ended with a Porky drum ending.

"Hare Ribbin'" is the Bob Clampett cartoon with the Russian hunting dog.

I'd swear to it..."Hare Conditioned" was the one before "Hare Ribbin'"....unless I'm losing my mind, which I suppose is always a possibility.
Was anyone else watching June Bugs late Saturday night who could verify one way or the other?

I've got the overnight tape right in front of me -- "Hare Ribbin" aired right after "A Hare Grows in Manhattan" just before 4 a.m. EDT and had the 1937-38 Schlesinger Merrie Melodies end title card.

Does anyone know what dubbed cartoons have a Bugs Bunny ending? I've never seen it before.

[lislebartman]

I believe CN's print of "Hare Tonic" (a sure cure for Rabbititus) has the Bugs Bunny-in drum LT ending ("...And that's 'The End') with the 'dubbed version' tagged on it...

[Billy]

Thanks! Now I wait until CNUK start showing pre-48 cartoons on a regualr basis again to see it :rolleyes: :D

The other is cartoon with a Bugs-in-drum ending is "Baseball Bugs."

Jon's right. "Buckaroo Bugs," and "Hare Conditioned" are the only Bugs cartoons with a Porky ending.

"Hare Tonic" and "Baseball Bugs" have Bugs in the drum. I wonder why they stopped using that after two cartoons.

Anyway, "Hare Ribbin" is a "Merrie Melodie" and uses a "That's All Folks" card, with a capital "F," I believe.
