LT & MM Page Updates (Sept. 10)

[Jon Cooke]

A new batch of updates are online:


Censored Cartoons Page: Updated with new information and pictures!
TV Highlights: Updated!
Articles: Updated and redesigned


The Censored Cartoon Page updates are all WB updates. I have some more stuff on the way. I am thinking of making a new page devoted to censored Walter Lantz cartoons.

Jon -

nice work, as always - Thanks!

and...

while you're at it -

Shokus is out of the cartoon business.

Video Yesteryear, last I looked, had been bought by someone for some other purpose, and was also out of the 'toon business.

for the censored page:

Hobby-Horse Laffs:
The removed scene opens with a rural mailman making his rounds. As he drops off mail at each farm, he comments on the residents.
Mostly, he describes the (last) recipient's hobby of making explosives - we never see the person or the explosion - we hear the explosion and see the mailman watch something being blown upwards, then falling.

I don't see why this was cut when it was - farm folks have been making bombs for generations, so nobody was going to learn anything they didn't already know...

Great updates Jon!
If your planning on more additions.,
view this thread (http://forums.toonzone.net/showthread.php?threadid=3307) I posted about edits in cartoons on videos.
Also, on Video Yesteryear: Cartoon Classics #8, the 1932
Walter Lantz Oswald cartoon, "The Mechanical Man" seems
that it's missing it's iris.

Thanks for the updates about Shokus and Video Yesteryear. An update to the video guide is also on my list of things to do.

Also, thanks for the "Hobby Horse-Laffs" information. My copy of "Hobby Horse-Laffs" from Nick actually includes that scene with the postman and the explosion. But I have a feeling some other scenes may have been edited.
