Horton Hatches the Egg (BR MM "Dubbed") 1942

Wee-Willie Wildcat (Barney Bear, MGM) 1953

The Crackpot Quail (MM "Dubbed") 1941

A Dream Walking (Popeye, redrawn, aap opening and closing, "ADOLPH ZUKOR PRESENTS" byline) 1934 Wimpy says, "She'll awaken, when she falls" Since the aap opening and closing weren't removed, I'm speculating that this cartoon may be one of the ones that may appear in B&W or computer colorized form with the Paramount opening restored, when CN shows Classic Popeye.

Garden Gopher (MGM, Spike, the one from "Cellbound") 1950

Busy Bakers (BR MM, no aap opening, not "dubbed") 1940

Well, I didn't watch the whole thing, but I really like WEE WILLY WILDCAT. Even though I don't watch Barney Bear cartoons much, that one was really fast-paced funny. Even a bit Tex Avery-ish.

HORTON HATCHES THE EGG was interesting. But I didn't really find it all that funny, and the rhymes kinda got on my nerves after a while. I said before that BACALL TO ARMS was my least favorite Clampett cartoon, but I might have to change that with HORTON. No offense, HORTON is a well-done cartoon, but I prefer Clampett's faster-paced, violent, and zanier cartoons.

Hmm... then I guess you don't like Dr. Seuss? :eek:
