Their debut short. Although Bob Clampett started the short, he'd already left during production so Arthur Davis finished the short-his first Gopher short as a result. A supersped spoudning Bugs Bunny cameo's at film's end. With the Sakespearan dog (Julia Stiles would be proud to be his owner).Stan Freberg and Mel Blanc.


"Hare Remover" (1946)
One of Frank Tashlin's swansongs for Warner Bros. shown by the lack of a directorial credit. Song is "Gotta be This or That" recorded by Tex Beneke, Louis Armstrong, Harry james, Benny Goodman (vocal: Benny Goodman) and Sammy Kaye (vocal: Nancy Norman), who at this time also had the immortal hit "Chickery Chick", with Mr.Norman and Billy WIlliams and the Kaye Choir.THe effects animation is credited between Mel Blanc's voice and Carl W.stalling's credit as is the case fo Davis's 1947 "Catch as Cats Can". Features the famed screwball/bats in the belfry/drip/crackpot rebus signs.



"A Street Cat Named Sylvester" (1953)
My favorite scene is the "Technicolor knitting" by Sylvester and Grnany taking off her glasses going "Astigmatism". One of the best Tweety's and one of Freleng's best next to :Hare Do" (1948) and "From Hare to Heir' (1960).




"Beep Beep" (1952)
The second Road Runner postdated the first by about four years! Features a long coal miner scene set to the tune that (Warner plug) Mel Blanc used to coach Jack Benny on radio and on TV and that which became Jack's theme, possibly the one ID'd as "Love in bloom", the violin teracher Professor LeBlanc tune: "Dee dee DEE dee dee DEE dee dee"..(pretty easy to describe in writing :) )
RUnning gag about an explosive glass of water.



"Hare Trimmed" (1953)
An unusual case of Granny without Tweety. Music includes "La Vie En Rose" and "L'amour Tojours L'Amour" (Pepe LePew and Prissy's Of Rice and Hen theme, among others).Money to burn is one of the funniest visual gags as well as Bugs in drag as Granny. Featured in THE LOONEY LOONEY LOONEY BUGS BUNNY MOVIE (1981).



"You Were Never Duckier" (1948)
The first post-1948 WB cartoon. Henry Hawk, his dad and Daffy.


"Hare Tonic" (1945)
Beware of Rabbititus.One of several shorts along with "Baseball Bugs: to use Bugs in a dram instead of Porky in a Looney Tunes.



"Hyde and Hare" (1955)
Cartoon Fan Kevin McCorry wrote an article on this.l Jon's got a link to it. Great Jeckyll and Hyde joke.
Some real eerie humor and a sinister ending with Bugs (duplicated in "Mad as a mars hare",1963)


"Each Dawn I Crow" (1949)
That's Frank Graham as the narrator, though it sounds a bit like Paul Frees at times.


"The Cat's Bah" (1954)
One of the best Pepe cartoons. Best part is the camel bit.(with Mel Blanc's NORMAL voice!)


"Porky's Last Stand" (1940, computer colorised)
Porky and Daffy running a custard stand out west.


[
B]"Speedy Ghost to Town" (1967)[/B]
One of the worse teaming of Daffy and SPeedy. The first reopneing of WB cartoon.


"Hillbilly Hare" (1950)
John Smith (the dummy) and MelBlanc (the sharpie) as the two hillbillies.Features the fames square dance.."Don;tcha cuss and dontcha swear just come on out now form a square.."


"Along Came Daffy" (1947)
Great use of Daffy by Freleng with two Yosemite Sam types, and a good contrast to the last one shown in this program


"Daffy Doodles" (1946)
Robert McKimson's directorial career gets off toa good start.



"A Tale of Two Mice" (1945)
One of several ABbot and Costello as mice cartoons.(Tedd Pierce did Abbott, Mel Blanc played Costello)


"High Diving Hare" (1949)
One of Friz Freleng';s best ewarly Yosemite Sam's. Ya know I didnt say richard?

"
Highway Runnery" (1965)
Joe Siracusa's sound effects, so prominently featured in "Rocky and Bullwinkle", "Dudley Do-Right", "Mr.Peabody", "Uncle Waldo", "Superchicken", and other Jay Ward productions (even the ads), are used here. Featured the famed clockwork sound wind up roadrunner.


"Hare Splitter" (1948) [/B]]
"A Hick, A Slick and a Chick" had formerly featured the Red Skelton derevied Daisy lou name.
