Boy Meets Dog is usually on PD tapes with Castle titles, but I've actually seen it on Matinee at the Bijou with original titles.

That's great were a Woody Woodpecker Show episode contain a real new episode of this time between 2 classic shorts (Under the Counter Spy and Playful Pelican) :) :p

I liked was you got more info about the Woody Woodpecker Show: episode guide, videos, etc. Thanks!! :cool:

[Lee Glover]

WOW! "Take Heed Mr Tojo" was actually a Walter Lantz cartoon! For years I thought it was a Warner Bros cartoon. That explains why it wasn't included in the GAOLT volume 5 laserdisc set.

Overall, it is an excellent page! :)

Yup, "Take Heed Mr. Tojo" was indeed a Lantz cartoon. Here are the credits:

I plan to post a video clip of the Hook cartoon to site sometime soon (maybe in July).

I am glad you guys liked the page!

I hope to have a special page devoted to the Woody Woodpecker Show up someday. It won't have an episode guide (I don't think one exists), but it would have information and many pictures.

I'm semi-sure of watch "Boy meets dog" with the title "A boy and his dog".
What is a war bond?

It's interesting to see a '60s version of Wally Walrus, along with Homer Pigeon and Knothead and Splinter (with retro-green eyes!) in Spook-a-Nanny. Where did you get this, Jon?

Jon got it from me, and I got it from someone who has a TV station print of it (not from this board).

Also updated:

---Images added for "Barber of Seville", "I'm Cold", "Hot Noon", and "The Screwdriver" on the Columbia House edits page (http://lantz.toonzone.net/video/chedits.html).

---Entry and image added for "Woody Woodpecker" on the same page.

[Tintin]

For edits of "Barber of Seville", "Hot Noon" and "Woody Woodpecker" that's normal but very stupid where this show removed the line "Coldernell, Alaska" in "I'm Cold"

I remember seeing Wally in a 1960's Chilly Willy. He even had tusks again.

Yup, Wally Warlus was in 1961's "Clash and Carry" with Chilly Willy. He's also supposedly in another Chilly cartoon, "Tricky Trout", but nobody seems to have that one...

Yeah, Hannah gave Clash and Carry an unnusual design to it, making it look like it was made a lot earlier than 1961, IMO.

Did Wally speak in this cartoon? If so, did he sound like the old '40s version? Wally Walrus seems like a natural partner (or adversary) for Chilly Willy. I'm surprised they didn't pair them on a more regular basis.

Yep, Wally has his Sweedish accent in "Clash and Carry". You're right, Wally is a good adversary for Chilly, as evidenced in this cartoon, which is, IMO, one of the best in the series.

[Jon Cooke]

Even though he's not seen in any of the pictures on the site, "Spook-a-Nanny" also includes an appearance by a 1960s version of Andy Panda! Andy is voiced by Daws Butler (using his Augie Doggie/Elroy Jetson voice).

[absolutpaul]

Wally is voiced by Paul Frees in that cartoon, using a swedish accent. The best part is when he telephones the fishing ships, telling them "I'll take all you can catch!" and we cut to live action footage of fishing ships in fast-motion.

While we're on the subject of rarely seen Walter Lantz cartunes, I guess it wouldn't hurt to bring this up.

Just a couple of days ago I recieved a 16mm print of a "Meany, Miny, Moe" cartoon. It's from good ol' "Hollywood Film Enterprises" so it's a silent, shortened print. Info and pics will be posted on the Lantz page shortly.
