Jerry's enjoyment of heckling Tom, his looks of confusion and aggravation at being ignored, and Tom's look of pure mad infatuation!

LITTLE RUNAWAY (1952) has a very Disneyesque storyline (Jerry protecting a baby seal from Tom eager to collect the reward money for the return of it), but it's saved with great acting. Like this scene by Irv Spence! I love Tom's stupid look of pure enjoyment from Jerry's dancing number. Only a master like Spence could put so much life, energy, and humor into a dead fish. The timing and Scott Bradley's music score are perfect for this scene too. (Ed Barge picks up when Jerry keeps coming back for an encore).\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cspan class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"color: #333333; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 19px;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cspan class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"color: #333333; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 19px;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Ccenter style=\"color: #333333; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; line-height: 19px;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003E\u003Cobject height=\"350\" width=\"425\"\u003E\u003Cembed src=\"http:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20070330055528\/http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/_LbIklnOBz8\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"425\" height=\"350\"\u003E\u003C\/object\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/center\u003E\u003Cspan class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"color: #333333; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 19px;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cspan class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"color: #333333; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 19px;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cspan class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"color: #333333; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 19px;\"\u003EOne of my all-time favorite Tom \u0026amp; Jerry shorts is HEAVENLY PUSS (1949). If it's not on your list of favorites, it really should be. This is the ultimate example of Tom \u0026amp; Jerry's love-hate relationship.

Technically, it's a 'patchwork film', borrowing the premise (and entire opening!) of Tex Avery's \u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/klangley.blogspot.com\/2007\/10\/tex-avery-of-fox-and-hounds.html\" target=\"_blank\"\u003E\"Of Fox and Hounds\"\u003C\/a\u003E.  But it has a lot of great elements of its own, such as the funniest pack of dogs ever animated (by Art Davis), and a great take on the Avery gag of Bugs 'turning-the-log-off-a-cliff'.  Virgil Ross does a great job with subtlety here with Lenny (Stan Freberg) being so stupid that he thinks his 'little friend' has gone away because Bugs has the headpiece on backwards.

Jack Hannah's tend to be even worse, with inane stories, artless animation, and obnoxious characters like Chip an' Dale, Spike the Bee, and the Bootle Beetle. This set does feature animation by the likes of Emery Hawkins, Art Babbitt, and Bob Carlson, so it's at least worth a look for that.\u003C\/span\u003E"},"link":[{"rel":"replies","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/classicanimation.blogspot.com\/feeds\/8521511574405915561\/comments\/default","title":"Post Comments"},{"rel":"replies","type":"text/html","href":"http:\/\/classicanimation.blogspot.com\/2007\/08\/disney-treasures-2007.html#comment-form","title":"0 Comments"},{"rel":"edit","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/4275267081518567434\/posts\/default\/8521511574405915561"},{"rel":"self","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/4275267081518567434\/posts\/default\/8521511574405915561"},{"rel":"alternate","type":"text/html","href":"http:\/\/classicanimation.blogspot.com\/2007\/08\/disney-treasures-2007.html","title":"Disney Treasures 2007"}],"author":[{"name":{"$t":"Unknown"},"email":{"$t":"noreply@blogger.com"},"gd$image":{"rel":"http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail","width":"16","height":"16","src":"https:\/\/img1.blogblog.com\/img\/b16-rounded.gif"}}],"media$thumbnail":{"xmlns$media":"http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/","url":"http:\/\/bp2.blogger.com\/_Vrvawu4CDno\/RtXG8zcErII\/AAAAAAAAAxo\/llaTxaeHyOU\/s72-c\/treasure-oswald.jpg","height":"72","width":"72"},"thr$total":{"$t":"0"}},{"id":{"$t":"tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4275267081518567434.post-700006195850346717"},"published":{"$t":"2007-08-28T01:29:00.000-07:00"},"updated":{"$t":"2010-12-04T01:29:54.645-08:00"},"title":{"type":"text","$t":"Links"},"content":{"type":"html","$t":"\u003Cspan class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;\"\u003E\u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm0131968\/\" style=\"color: #2244bb;\" target=\"_blank\"\u003EBob Camp\u003C\/a\u003E\u0026nbsp;has a\u0026nbsp;\u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/bobcampcartoonist.blogspot.com\/\" style=\"color: #2244bb;\" target=\"_blank\"\u003Eblog\u003C\/a\u003E\u0026nbsp;now and has been displaying his own artwork as well as art by Jack Davis and other favorites.

He's actually credited on a few non-film character titles (\u003Ci\u003EBarnyard Comics\u003C\/i\u003E), but for the most part, his comic work is uncredited.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EHere's a story I believe to be written by Maltese from\u0026nbsp;\u003Ci\u003EReal Screen Comics #7 (1946)\u003C\/i\u003E. The Flippity \u0026amp; Flop stories always tended to be based on psychological warfare, and these earliest stories play almost like a Jones Hubie \u0026amp; Bertie cartoon (there is one in RS #10 which is just \"Roughly Squeaking\"). Flippity, Flop, and Sam (the dog, not in this story) all seem to be obligately filling in their roles as canary, cat, and dog too, reminiscent of Jones' Ralph Wolf and Sam (!) Sheepdog cartoons.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EI'd love to know who the artist here is, he has a nice style (it's definitely not Bob Wickersham).\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/bp2.blogger.com\/_Vrvawu4CDno\/RraSX--rjcI\/AAAAAAAAAvo\/Nq2vPWKZy7E\/s1600-h\/34.jpg\" style=\"color: #2244bb;\" target=\"_blank\"\u003E\u003Cimg alt=\"\" border=\"0\" height=\"400\" src=\"http:\/\/bp2.blogger.com\/_Vrvawu4CDno\/RraSX--rjcI\/AAAAAAAAAvo\/Nq2vPWKZy7E\/s400\/34.jpg\" style=\"border-bottom-width: 0px;

He walked up to Hawkins and stood there, inches from his face, just glaring for what seemed like forever, and then wordlessly turned and walked in the building. Hawkins later claimed when talking to animator Nelson Rhodes that the impact was so great that he laid down his picket sign and left the Disney lot that day, going over to [the Columbia] studio for work. \"I knew my days at Disney were over,\" stated Hawkins who died in 1989.\u003C\/blockquote\u003E"},"link":[{"rel":"replies","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/classicanimation.blogspot.com\/feeds\/8561292221932312153\/comments\/default","title":"Post Comments"},{"rel":"replies","type":"text/html","href":"http:\/\/classicanimation.blogspot.com\/2007\/05\/hawkins-at-disney.html#comment-form","title":"0 Comments"},{"rel":"edit","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/4275267081518567434\/posts\/default\/8561292221932312153"},{"rel":"self","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/4275267081518567434\/posts\/default\/8561292221932312153"},{"rel":"alternate","type":"text/html","href":"http:\/\/classicanimation.blogspot.com\/2007\/05\/hawkins-at-disney.html","title":"Hawkins at Disney"}],"author":[{"name":{"$t":"Unknown"},"email":{"$t":"noreply@blogger.com"},"gd$image":{"rel":"http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail","width":"16","height":"16","src":"https:\/\/img1.blogblog.com\/img\/b16-rounded.gif"}}],"thr$total":{"$t":"0"}},{"id":{"$t":"tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4275267081518567434.post-8106147185525707143"},"published":{"$t":"2007-05-04T03:22:00.000-07:00"},"updated":{"$t":"2010-12-05T03:22:57.489-08:00"},"title":{"type":"text","$t":"Let's Ring Doorbells"},"content":{"type":"html","$t":"\u003Cspan class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;\"\u003EI don't know what Emery Hawkins was up to prior to his first tour at Columbia, but I do know that the shorts of 1935-37 contain the earliest known animation by him, at least by animation expert\u0026nbsp;\u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/itsthecat.com\/blog\/\" style=\"color: #2244bb;\" target=\"_blank\"\u003EMark Kausler\u003C\/a\u003E.

No offense meant to Barrier, but I always find his criticism on the cartoons to be overbearing and missing the mark frequently. I was told by others that this is what dominates this book, much like \"Hollywood\", but it didn't at all.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EI found most of the early and later portions of the book to be boring, but that's because it covered Walt's childhood and his escape from animation, parts of his life I'm not exactly interested in. Reading about Disney's relationships (many of them failed) with his best artists was fascinating.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThis is an unbiased view of Walt's life, which does nothing to candyass events in his favor. I was disappointed, though, that the 1941 strike was not covered more thoroughly.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EWhen it comes to pure facts, Barrier can't be beat, and this is the best biography of Disney to date.

Being fired for being one of the 'old guys' by one of the top directors probably did not help Davis' already unfortunate poor self-image.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EBack to McCabe though, a cartoon like this hints at good things to come from this new director, and I wonder what kind of Warner cartoons we would have seen if he had not got his director stint cut short by the draft.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;\"\u003E\u003Cembed allowfullscreen=\"true\" allowscriptaccess=\"never\" height=\"334\" src=\"http:\/\/www.dailymotion.com\/swf\/1ATScR33QusiX9YNv\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"425\" wmode=\"transparent\"\u003E\u003C\/embed\u003E\u003Cspan class=\"link popout\" style=\"background-color: transparent; background-image: url(http:\/\/www.google.com\/reader\/ui\/2324375172-module-new-window-icon.gif); background-position: 2px 50%; background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; color: #2244bb; cursor: pointer; padding-bottom: 1px; padding-left: 16px; padding-right: 8px; padding-top: 1px; text-decoration: none;\" title=\"Click to open in a new window\"\u003EPopout\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E"},"link":[{"rel":"replies","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/classicanimation.blogspot.com\/feeds\/7637242041122058417\/comments\/default","title":"Post Comments"},{"rel":"replies","type":"text/html","href":"http:\/\/classicanimation.blogspot.com\/2007\/03\/hop-and-go.html#comment-form","title":"0 Comments"},{"rel":"edit","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/4275267081518567434\/posts\/default\/7637242041122058417"},{"rel":"self","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/4275267081518567434\/posts\/default\/7637242041122058417"},{"rel":"alternate","type":"text/html","href":"http:\/\/classicanimation.blogspot.com\/2007\/03\/hop-and-go.html","title":"Hop and Go"}],"author":[{"name":{"$t":"Unknown"},"email":{"$t":"noreply@blogger.com"},"gd$image":{"rel":"http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail","width":"16","height":"16","src":"https:\/\/img1.blogblog.com\/img\/b16-rounded.gif"}}],"thr$total":{"$t":"0"}},{"id":{"$t":"tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4275267081518567434.post-3254607440990131264"},"published":{"$t":"2007-03-06T03:47:00.000-08:00"},"updated":{"$t":"2010-12-05T03:49:12.164-08:00"},"title":{"type":"text","$t":"\"Ah love th' java jive and it loves me...\""},"content":{"type":"html","$t":"\u003Cspan class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;\"\u003EContinuing my previous post on Norm McCabe, here's the highlight from his cartoon \"Robinson Crusoe Jr.\" (1941).

There's really not much of a difference between McCabe's black-and-white Looney Tunes and Clampett's that used the same animators.

Foxy Loxy does indeed consult the book \"Mein Kampf\" to tell him how to manipulate the chickens. This was changed in most reissue prints that survive today (Milt claims he saw the original at a kiddie matinee in Burbank in 1965).\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003ESo what Leonard Maltin says on the DVD is wrong, and it makes perfect sense with the context of the story.

Ollie Johnston is always remembered for soft but effective animation like Bambi or Mr. Smee, yet he animated the wildest take in any Disney cartoon here! I had always thought that to be Kimball's work.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThat's not to say Ward Kimball's animation isn't anything short of amazing in this film. Everyone (myself included) attributes Kimball to anything wild and crazy in any Disney film. But here he is capable of some wonderful subtlety with his scenes of Foxy Loxy. He may seem like a typical Disney villain, but he's enriched more than that stereotype, with Kimball's superb acting skills, because the fact of the matter is is that he\u0026nbsp;\u003Ci\u003Eis\u003C\/i\u003E\u0026nbsp;pure evil.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EAs it did with Kimball and Johnston, the film shows Milt Kahl's versatility. We always associate Kahl with literalism, yet the birds in this picture are hilarious looking while remaining human. I find it horribly ironic Kahl can help me relate and identify more with Chicken Little than he would with practically rotoscoped characters like Cinderella. This type of funny animation was apparently Kahl's favorite kind and I'd love to know more of what he did like it.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EWhen we all first saw this cartoon (unprepared of course), our first impression of Foxy Lovy is the feeling of \"Oh, this is just a typical cartoon moron, he'll probably lose out\" (Frank Graham's terrific vocal work helps 'ensure' us of this presumption). The giant twist on the ending gives us all a shock, but it also gives us the message (most likely intended, and not thrown in our face like other films) that evil comes in many forms and to always be prepared.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003ETo put this all into context with the normal tone of this blog...

This is beautifully timed and hilariously animated by Irv Spence (the last two shots in this clip are Ed Barge's). It's funny how I was struck stupid when I found out later in life that these Tom \u0026amp; Jerry cartoons were high-budget films... You'd think Bill and Joe would make guys like Spence adhere to a modelsheet or layout! But all the animators on the Tom \u0026amp; Jerry films had their own style, yet they don't look disjointed, but very slick. That's definitley a sure sign of great directors.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EHope you enjoy this one.

I love Golden Age funny animal comic books!

While for the most part, this is true, but there were a few directors that said \"screw the Disney influence\" and went ahead with doing a hybrid of sort of cartoony animation (and gags) with sophisticated designs. Clampett, Avery, and Tashlin in particular.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EI don't think the Disney influence was bad. I can't stand most of the early 30s cartoons save the earliest Boskos, Iwerks Mickey, and Irv Spence Flip the Frog I actually enjoy. But there were really great principles in those films that made them animation fun. I'm actually glad the influence came in, because it made those who excelled with using it, like Jones, all the better, while Clampett, Tashlin, and Avery remained unique with the preference for broad, cartoony actions.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe ducks in these two clips from\u0026nbsp;\u003Ci\u003EBooby Hatched (1944)\u003C\/i\u003E\u0026nbsp;still move in the stylized way Tashlin originated and Davis animated, but there is a lingering remainder of the bounciness from the old 30s cartoons.
