I remember clearly of this format from The Bugs Bunny Show, when was aired here in Brazil by Globo TV, between 1969 and 1972. I remember specially of the bumpers which brought the Chuck Jones' drawing style (specially Bugs with that cynical face, which's so characteristic on the Chuck's artwork). Chuck Jones is actually an animation legend.

by the way john, i was just going through my basement and dug up the Wild Cartoon Kingdom issue that featured your infamous review of Animaniacs.I'm sorry if I constantly bring it up, but that was one of the Worst reviews I've ever read. you basically said it was a atrocity whilst giving us as little information about the actual cartoon as possible.you've written about bad critics before, but at

I grew up an army brat. The military stations (all 2 of them) would run HB cartoons from 9 am up to noon. It wasn't part of anything syndicated I don't think, they just ran them. Pretty good deal for me

Why do I get the feeling that the designers who put new Bugs and Daffy drawings all over Warners' merchandising aren't being paid much? I think they just have stock art that gets used, and re-used. I saw a bunch of those drawings on the DVDs that were used during promotion for "Looney Tunes: Back In Action".Shit, I'd do a great job for them, AND for free! So would many of us here.- trevor.

They mixed up cartoons so much where I was, I never had any idea what I was watching as a kid. That Mickey Magician one was used as an intro for some Disney ones too.Same with Mighty Mouse too. I had no idea why his outfit kept changing colours but it was just because they were throwing in every Mighty Mouse cartoon they had in random order.It was rather confusing for my young brain.

I don't know about down there, but on "Teletoon" up here in Canada we still have the "Bugs Bunny and Tweety Show". Unfortunately they run the same cartoons alot and not neccesarily the best...mosty Chuck Jones which is great, and some McKimson, but alot of Friz, which is okay in short bursts but I can't do an hour of it. But when I was a little kid, I watched it with my dad every Saturday and

I wasn't old enough to see the original Bugs Bunny Show, sadly. When I was finally old enough to remember it, it had become the Bugs Bunny and Tweety Show. The intro is less cool than the original (it was redone), but it still has the "This Is It!" theme song.One of the broadcast networks had a library of Merrie Melodies, though, and ran them without packaging of any kind. These ran at about

I hear that.I have been watching the restored episodes of Huckleberry Hound, and trying desperately to find other bumpers from other Hanna Barbera shows. In a way, those bumpers are among my favorite parts of the show. They not only communicate with, but it makes the show travel from place to place in a very spontaneous way.That's one of the things I admired in REN and STIMPY. The bumpers (such

Cartoon Network did something else that made me really mad! They used classic cartoon characters like Tom and Jerry for their channel advertising. Tom would be chasing Jerry in a totally new background done in flash or some other software. The BG looks like it was just made by consulting online tutorials on how to make glass buttons and shiny effects. It really made me want to pull my hair.

Yup, salisbury steak with mashed potatoes and a little compartment of red goo or possibly, something trying to be cornbread...hehehe! Truth is, we were happy to eat it! Didn't need satellite or cable - all the good shows were on TV for free.Good times.

I just love the bumpers in the early Ren & Stimpy episodes. A shame you didn't continue them in further episodes. Was this a deliberate choice, or didn't Nickelodeon like it?Btw, living in Germany, this was also the way I first grew up with the Looney Tunes as a child. Watch from 1:31 on:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f3wEwhtNGpoThey composed a completely different title music, but used all the

Hi John.I've ben waiting for this day about a year. Today I just finished a short film I've been working on, for like a year. It's my gift to you, my way to say THANKS A LOT for all the things you explain in this blog, for all the things you have made for animation. Sometimes I've thought that maybe you are not sure if all the lessons your give are taken seriously or not. Well, this is my way to

Mattie,All the Warner directors employed at the time made these interstitials and developed a hybrid style they could all draw in. There's times, though, when you can't help but realize, "Hey, those are Friz's drawings," or "That's Chuck alright".I cringe whenever I look at new Looney Tunes designs, like those ones that adorn the packaging of the menus and DVD cover art, especially when they

This reminds me of the syndication days of animaniacs.One segment would be written by Tom Minton and feature Nearly feature-quality animation(TMS, startoons), while the other would be written by Paul did (Live-action drama scriptwriter) and feature 80's TV animation (AKOM)Was Chuck Jones involved in the series? r was it just copying the model sheets?

I'm fine with that format as long as it doesn't eat the original credits. I don't know about The Bugs Bunny Show, I think they never aired it in Spain, but some of those shows eat the credit title sequences which I usually enjoy a lot in some of the old cartoons. Of course it doesn't matter too much if you have already watched or have the cartoon taped or in dvd, but anyway.It's a pitty they
