This is the final Blackie the Lamb Cartoon but not Wolfie's. Wolfie became so popular, he was the first to be put in a Harveytoon with Casper and he was on Screen Song's "Fresh Yeggs".
1:47 Wow, that little musical bit by Winston Sharples sounds like Philip Glass (or Danny Elfman) ! Just when Wolfie is being catapulted on his bike through the air by the streched inner tube into his own shack
Arnold STANG was the voice of Blackie, didn't know he did voice acting, although he certainly had a distinctive voice. I had never heard of this great little character Blackie, but I knew Wolfie, with his Nyarn Nyarn Nyarn from Casper. This is such simple beautiful clean animation. And a great story with great supporting cast.
Yes, I have since bought both the Noveltoons and Herman & Katnip DVDs where there is plenty of both Stang, and also Sid Raymond. Sid also did Baby Huey, one of my favorite "voices" (and characters). I did not remember that Lahr did the Gnarn sound but heard it recently in a Mighty Mouse cartoon with lions. I always heard it before (from Wolfie) as gnarn or gnarng but apparently there is a word (from 1500 a.d.), once imitative, now a verb "gnar", so our wolf or lion is speaking when it gnars.
Just watched again. It's somewhat derivative here and there, but such a good cartoon. The fiery sfx at 5:47 just blows me away. I always like the archetyp(ic)al Big Bad Wolf as the quintessential cartoon villain, used across all the studios, and often dressed somewhat shabbily like a hobo or hillbilly with the single strap pants and derby. And for some reason he often has considerable musical talents (gypsy or jazz), whether going after Little Red or pigs or lambs
This cartoon was seen in the Texas Chainsaw Massaxcre remake.
I've been terrified of this cartoon because of Texas Chainsaw Massacre lol
The only thing I see when I watch this is The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2003!
Good thinking
I saw this Cartoon in that Movie And
That Part when the Sheep was driving that car, that blood splattered on the tv screen and it gave me shivers
3:33 - 3:37 Next thing you know, you're hit in the head with a hammer by leatherface . . .
3:36-3:37 Rip Kemper😭 my lovee💔
They sure don't make toons like these like they used to !
That part sounds like the bare Necessary from the jungle book on 3:31

It's been SOOOO long since I've seen this!!! But, in the end Wolf ends up hanging himself... You don't see that in Dora...
Sid Raymond was "Wolfie" (doing his Bert Lahr impression- "Gnong! Gnong! Gnong!")...and later teamed up with Stang as "Herman & Katnip".
Makes sense since Stang voices Blackie
PS Sid Raymond also voiced Heckle and Jeckle for a period.
i just spotted something weird: at 3:30, Blackie's tail disappears for a few frames.
The music cue at 4;00 is awesome.
