Join us as we take a look at three instances where the works of Robert McKimson seem eerily similar to cartoons we've covered on this show! Marc sees Bugs Bunny dealing with Yosemite Sam (I mean, Blackque Jacuque Shalack, but his friends call him BJ) in 'Bonanza Bunny' Jordan sees Daffy Duck take a turn at Superman (for the folks at home, this is Superman attempt number 2 of 4 for the Looney Tunes) in 'Stupor Duck And we end this episode with, what else? McKimson ripping off himself! In 'People Are Bunny'
Jordan and Marc dive, lovingly, into some more gems from the short-lived but mighty Arthur Davis unit, including a standard gag rollout tinged with intriguing ideas in Bone Sweet Bone, a Porky short that divided both hosts in The Pest Who Came to Dinner, and an undeniable classic in Holiday for Drumsticks. In talks of fluid animation, wild motion and surprising continuity, we wind up crafting some of the wildest bits in TNQAF history. Perhaps it's just the effect the Davis unit has on people.Links:Support us on PatreonFollow us on TwitterFollow us on BlueskyFollow us on Instagram
Join us as we take a look at some more Looney fairy tale shorts, two of which focused on Tom Thumb! Marc sees an early Chuck Jones effort with a design that seems awfully familar in 'Tom Thumb in Trouble' Jordan covers a contemporary take on the piped piper with Porky Pig in 'Paying the Piper' And we finish with a later era Chuck Jones/John Dunn outing with the half-hearted story of 'I Was A Teenage Thumb'Links:Support us on PatreonFollow us on TwitterFollow us on BlueskyFollow us on Instagram
An innocuous enough theme, cartoons with dogs and cats as the subject, brought Jordan and Marc to this episode. The majority of this episode contains the sort of Looney Tunes fare one would expect from the 50s, like a wild Sylvester in peril short called A Kiddie's Kitty, and an underrated McKimson short animated by just one guy, 'Pappy's Puppy'. But the third short, McKimson's 'Mixed Master' resulted in one of the strangest and most horrifying indications that any Looney Tunes short has set forth. Jordan and Marc thought they were prepared for it, and I don't think you will be either. Links:Support us on PatreonFollow us on TwitterFollow us on BlueskyFollow us on Instagram
We kick off Season 6 of TNQAF by looking at the remaining shorts (and revival) of Chuck Jones' Three Bears Cartoons! We cover their first outing after meeting Bugs Bunny with Papa just trying to sleep through hibernation with 'What’s Brewin, Bruin' Jordan covers Papa and Junior trying to take care of their supply of Honey in 'The Bee-Deviled Bruin' And we jump in time 74 years to covering the Browngardt crew's efforts in 'Life’s a Beach' and 'Moody at the Movies'Links:Support us on PatreonFollow us on TwitterFollow us on BlueskyFollow us on Instagram
For our 250th episode, and our most recent Looney movie episode, which has now grown to include movies made by Warner's 90s animation division, Marc and Jordan cover a classic film that may have killed the Warner animation division but influenced a generation of animators. The Iron Giant was born out of two different stories of love amidst pain, nearly became a movie musical adaptation, and was a product of sheer creativity crushed by an inability to drive in revenue. Warner Brothers saw this only as a vessel for money, and wrote it off when it failed. Little did they know that they'd completely missed the point Brad Bird was trying to make with the film. We say a lot about the Iron Giant in this episode, why it works, why it was unfairly handled by the studio, why it may be one of the greatest American films of its time, and why we won't get fooled again.Links:Support us on PatreonFollow us on TwitterFollow us on BlueskyFollow us on Instagram
Join us as we lead up to our movie episode on robots by looking at shorts that have robots in them! Jordan looks at a later era Tweety effort in which Sylvester relies on a robot dog (for 20 seconds) in 'Tweet and Lovely' Marc covers Bugs Bunny dealing with a robot...that doesn't look anything like a rabbit in 'Robot Rabbit' And we conclude with a real clunker of a short with Wile Coyote in 'The Solid Tin Coyote'Links:Jonathan’s GoFundMeSupport us on PatreonFollow us on TwitterFollow us on BlueskyFollow us on Instagram
For our fourth episode consisting entirely of Looney Tunes commercials, Marc and Jordan cover a nice mix of misguided 90s ideas, puzzling 60s ideas and pop art greatness. Yes, there will be Tang, but there will also be PSAs, chicken, jams and jellies, crack and much much more. This one got extremely out of hand, and just in time for Christmas.Links:Jonathan’s GoFundMeSupport us on PatreonFollow us on TwitterFollow us on BlueskyFollow us on Instagram
Join us as we take a look at three more Looney Tunes shorts that have not aged well! Marc covers the Academy Award Nominated (but lost...much to the chagrin of Bob Clampett) with 'Hiawatha's Rabbit Hunt' Jordan finds the other Playboy Penguin/Bugs Bunny team-up with a not aged well nemesis with 'Frigid Hare' And we both look at....just....a perfect amalgamation of everthing we don't like about Robert McKimson with 'China Jones'Links:Jonathan’s GoFundMeSupport us on PatreonFollow us on TwitterFollow us on BlueskyFollow us on Instagram
Marc and Jordan look at three shorts where characters that arguably should have been in one-shot cartoons are given a second, or fourth, chance. These include 'Greetings, Bait', starring The Wacky Worm, 'Cheese-It, The Cat', starring The Honeymousers, and 'Often An Orphan', starring the much-maligned Charlie Dog. Some of these work, and could have been longer running characters. Some show signs of limitations in their concepts. And some bring us to a two-minute-long laughing standstill.Links:Jonathan’s GoFundMeSupport us on PatreonFollow us on TwitterFollow us on BlueskyFollow us on Instagram
Join us as we cover more Hubie and Bertie! Marc looks at an early attempt of the characters (VERY loosely) in 'Trap Happy Porky' Jordan finds Hubie and Bertie in the HOUSE OF THE FUTURE (Hey didn't we just cover one of those? thankfully this isn't a McKimson episode!) in 'House-Hunting Mice' and we conclude with....a little more on the dark side of the Hubie and Bertie story with 'Cheese Chasers'Links:Jonathan’s GoFundMeSupport us on PatreonFollow us on TwitterFollow us on BlueskyFollow us on Instagram
It had been a while since Marc and Jordan had covered shorts featuring Mac & Tosh, the Goofy Gophers, and it's mostly because their overly-nice schtick can get old after a while. But there were still a handful for us to cover, including the classic 'A Ham in a Role', featuring an opening minute that animation historians love to showcase [without really going into detail about the rest of it], and a pretty strong outing in 'A Bone for a Bone'. They also had to watch a 1965 short called 'Tease for Two'. It doesn't go as well, but it does lead to funnier bits.Links:Jonathan’s GoFundMeSupport us on PatreonFollow us on TwitterFollow us on BlueskyFollow us on Instagram
Join us as we take a look at even more Foghorn Leghorn cartoons, because doing one Robert McKimson episode wasn't enough! Marc sees the first appearance of the Weasel in the Foghorn cast with 'Plop Goes the Weasel', Jordan watches a short that seems a little too similar to a certain rabbit with 'The Dixie Fryer', And we round out with Henry Hawk trying to get a chicken with 'Leghorn Swoggled'Links:Jonathan’s GoFundMeSupport us on PatreonFollow us on TwitterFollow us on BlueskyFollow us on Instagram
Marc and Jordan cover three different Robert McKimson Daffy Duck shorts that features Daffy paired with a love interest. That's it, that's the theme of this one. Is it that shocking that we didn't especially like these? Be it a noir-ish takedown of a femme fatale in The Super Snooper, a beachside show of machismo in Muscle Tussle or a European spy caper in Boston Quackie, McKimson and his crews have no shortage of things to groan at.Links:Jonathan’s GoFundMeSupport us on PatreonFollow us on TwitterFollow us on BlueskyFollow us on Instagram
Join us as we cover the salesman antics of Daffy Duck! Marc sees Daffy try to make JB Cubish laugh in 'Daffy Dilly'. Jordan finds Daffy trying to sell life insurance to Porky Pig in 'Fool Practice', and we both watch Daffy try to sell the home of the future to Elmer Fudd in 'Design For Leaving'Links:Jonathan’s GoFundMeSupport us on PatreonFollow us on TwitterFollow us on BlueskyFollow us on Instagram
For our latest movie episode, Marc and Jordan cover the Warner Animation feature film...though technically the credit for this one goes to Turner's animation department with Cats Don't Dance. Released in early 1997 to literally no fanfare, its failure at the box office was engineered by a studio who had no interest in its success [sound familiar?] Yet the cult following for this animated tribute to 40s Hollywood and 50s musicals has persisted to this day, and we're going to take a look at why.Links:Jonathan’s GoFundMeSupport us on PatreonFollow us on TwitterFollow us on BlueskyFollow us on Instagram
Join us as a lead-up to our next movie episode as we look at the historic (and Clampett-y) Cats of Termite Terrace! Marc covers the first Technicolor Looney Tunes short with the BIG NAME SENSATION of 'The Hep Cat' Jordan watches a Porky vs 4 Cats cartoon that divulges into madness with 'Katty Kornered' And we both see a more simplified Frelelng effort with 'Pizzacato Pussycat'Links:Jonathan’s GoFundMeSupport us on PatreonFollow us on TwitterFollow us on BlueskyFollow us on Instagram
Join us as we take a look at a character that Robert McKimson tried to make happen, but didn't with the W.C Fields inspired Dodsworth! Jordan sees his origins, with a kitten that's a better lead than our main character with 'Kiddin' The Kitten' Marc finds the return of THE WOODPECKER in 'A Peck O' Trouble' And to make this episode fun for us, we conclude by looking at the Academy Award Nominated Sylvester 1960 short 'Mouse and Garden'Links:Jonathan’s GoFundMeSupport us on PatreonFollow us on TwitterFollow us on BlueskyFollow us on Instagram
In this episode, Jordan and Marc cover three Tweety & Sylvester shorts from the late 50s and early 60s, to end their month-long journey into the duo's golden age history. The shorts range from passable, like 1956's Tugboat Granny, to infuriating, like 1958's A Bird in a Bonnet, to whatever the hell 1962's The Jet Cage was going for.Links:Jonathan’s GoFundMeSupport us on PatreonFollow us on TwitterFollow us on BlueskyFollow us on Instagram
Join us as we continue Tweety June by looking at more Sylvester and Tweety shorts from the early to mid '50s! Jordan sees Tweety and Sylvester spend a Christmas together in 'Gift Wrapped' Marc watches an Arthur Davis Beach-themed short that...leaves a lot to be desired in 'Sandy Claws' And we conclude with a Tedd Pierce written classic, 'All A B-i-i-i-i-r-d'Links:Jonathan’s GoFundMeSupport us on PatreonFollow us on TwitterFollow us on BlueskyFollow us on Instagram
