Baton Bunny
''Baton Bunny'' is a 1959 Warner Bros. ''Looney Tunes'' cartoon, directed by Chuck Jones and Abe Levitow. The short was released on January 10, 1959, and stars Bugs Bunny. It shows Bugs conducting an orchestra - with a fly bothering him. Bugs conducts, and in part, plays the overture to "Ein Morgen, ein Mittag und Abend in Wien" (A Morning, Noon, and Night in Vienna)", a composition by Franz von Suppé. Though Mel Blanc was credited for vocal characterizations, there is no dialogue in the short; the only vocal effect made was when an audience member is heard coughing. This is the third and last Bugs Bunny cartoon (the first two being ''A Corny Concerto'' and ''Rhapsody Rabbit'', although he says three lines in the latter) where Bugs is silent. Or, nearly silent; at one point, he 'shushes' the brass. This is also one of the last cartoons to get a Merrie Melodies Blue Ribbon reissue in 1968. Plot Bugs is about to conduct "The Warner Bros. Symphony Orchestra" (supposedly in concert ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Chow Hound
''Chow Hound'' is a 1951 Warner Bros. ''Looney Tunes'' animated short directed by Chuck Jones and written by Michael Maltese. The short was released on June 16, 1951. The voices are performed by Mel Blanc, Bea Benaderet and John T. Smith. Unlike many Warner Bros. cartoons featuring cats, such as Sylvester, as the antagonists of their targets (such as birds) and dogs serving to discourage their behavior, ''Chow Hound'' uses a different formula, wherein a large bulldog is the merciless bully, and a frightened cat, along with a mouse, are both his hapless victims. In the film, the bully is a con-artist who forces the cat to serve as his accomplice in a series of scams. The bully's main motivation is gluttony. Once his overeating habits render him obese, sick, and unable to defend himself, the cat turns the table and tortures him in revenge. Plot A large bulldog bullies two unwilling parties—a frightened cat, whom the dog refers to as 'Stupid' three times in the short, and a tou ...

''Drip-Along Daffy'' is a 1951 Warner Bros. '' Merrie Melodies'' theatrical cartoon short, directed by Chuck Jones and written by Michael Maltese. The cartoon was released on November 17, 1951, and stars Daffy Duck and Porky Pig. This cartoon was produced as a parody of Westerns which were popular at the time of its release, and features Daffy Duck as a "Western-Type Hero", who, with his trusty "Comedy Relief" ( Porky Pig) hopes to clean up a violence-filled " one-horse town". In a tongue-in-cheek nod to ''The Lone Ranger'', Daffy's horse is named "Tinfoil". The cartoon includes an original song (sung by Porky) called "The Flower of Gower Gulch", a parody of sentimental cowboy-style love songs, Gower Gulch being an intersection in Hollywood known as a gathering spot for would-be actors in early Westerns.

Then, another man puts a coin in a casino slot machine and watches the wheels spin around until three oranges appear.

Ready, Woolen And Able
''Ready, Woolen and Able'' is a 1960 Warner Bros. ''Merrie Melodies'' cartoon directed by Chuck Jones. The short was released on July 30, 1960, and stars Ralph Wolf and Sam Sheepdog. Mel Blanc provided for the voices of all the characters in this cartoon; however, like all Ralph Wolf and Sam Sheepdog shorts, this short is mostly composed of visual gags. That is the fifth short featuring Ralph Wolf and Sam Sheepdog. The title is a play on the phrase "ready, willing and able". Plot Like all Ralph Wolf and Sam Sheepdog shorts, this one revolves around Ralph Wolf trying to steal the sheep which Sam Sheepdog is guarding. The short begins with a juxtaposition of how Sam and Ralph get to work. Sam takes a leisurely drive to work in what appears to be a caricature of a shoddy Ford Model T. Behind him, Ralph speeds past in a drag racer. After Ralph hastily parks and walks away, Sam pulls into his spot, careful to make the correct hand signals as he turns. 1.
