Where did the classics go. I was born in the 90's and yet i will never get with the times. I'm 16 years old this sunday i'll be 17 and i will forever listen to music from the 50's, and watch old cartoons til i'm gone. These cartoons will always be the best no matter what. And i'll stand by my opinion. Thank you for posting.
6:24- "Bank Night" was a popular feature of movie theaters at the time. It was a weekly cash giveaway; if your name was registered for the weekly drawing, and you were called, you won whatever jackpot there was that week. if NOT.....someone else would get a chance. If NO ONE claimed the prize, the jackpot would increase for the following week.
Lol I've been looking for this video for some time now. I had the Vhs growing up. I still quote scenes from this clip. Reading the comments it'd be amazing if ran into someone who knew where I got the quote from without me explaining it to them.
@01milkchocolate What made me wild? What made me wild? Well I'll tell ya. They called my name out on bank night, BUT I WASN'T THERE!! Bank Night was a lottery held at movie theaters during the depression.
From 1934 until late 1942, 'smash', the "Merrie Melodies" series was in Technicolor, while "Looney Tunes" were filmed and shown in black & white. By the end of '42, though, a few "Looney Tunes" were also beginning to be released in Technicolor [starting with "My Favorite Duck"]- by the end of 1943, the last black & white "Looney Tune"- Tashlin's "Puss 'N' Booty"- was released to theaters. From 1944 on, both series were filmed in color...
"Bank Night" [6:24] was a weekly drawing in most movie theaters at the time (1939)- if you weren't there to hear your name {or number} called as the winner, the "jackpot" was held over until the following week, with another drawing held for another potential winner...
From what I read, "bank night" was something run by movie theatres in the Depression. If your name was called out, you won money. The "Blue Plate Special" was also a Depression product, something "cooked up" by the National Recovery Administration. That agency was ruled unconstitutional in 1935. Yes, the parrot asked for a short beer.
This is awesome, Watch for the reference to the 2 elks saying hello bill.. Must have been an Elk that did this LOL. Where did all the great cartoons go???
@01milkchocolate - The wildcat said "They called my name out at "Bank night" and I wasn't there!" Perhaps a reference to winning a raffle at a movie theater where the winner had to be present to win. Back in those days theaters had contests, etc. to increase movie attendance.

HEY SISTER, CAN'T YOU READ!!!! so funny!!! The wild cat is funny, WHAT MADE ME WILD? I WILL TELL U WHY, THEY CALLED ME LAST NIGHT, AND I WASN'T THERE. WHO? YOU! ME? YES! OHHHH!!! the owl, also what does the parrot say there first, when the narrator calls him, it sounds like the parrot said "eat this", or "Eat me".
Hey wait minute bud, tell me. what made u wild? what made me wild? what made me wild?! well i'll tell ya they called my name in bank night and i wasn't there!!
As this was a Tex Avery cartoon I am quite sure that the wild cat towards the end was behind the idea of Crazy Claws in the Kwiki Koala show which was Averys last creation. Am I right or wrong. Discuss.
I agree ! i think it' becaue somewhere along the lline someone decided kids were dumb and any crap would entertain them, I mean honestky the whole "yeah that movie was stupid, but it's for little kids so it's ok" well no, no it not ! i mean can you imagine that attitude towards any other thing we use on our children "sure this baby car seat doesn't work right but who cares it's for kids !" I think we need to relalize kids aren't stupid. Take these cartoons, some kids might not understand the -
It's a superstitious thing that couples say when they're holding hands and encounter an obstacle, such as a pole and have to let go of each others hands. It's supposed to prevent bad luck of being separated.
Santaclaus1986: Sorry it took me so long to respond! I just discovered a Paramount cartoon on RUclips that you may like. It has the "bouncing ball" sing-a-long to "California, Here I Come" with the full words. Search RUclips for "The Golden State (1947)".
What's the difference between Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies, you ask? Everything at first, but eventually nothing. At first LTs were black and white with recurring characters, while MMs were color musicals (color after 1935) with no recurring characters. Eventually some of the recurring characters started showing up in MMs, and Warners' requirement that the MMs be musicals was dropped. So then the only difference was the LTs were black and white, and in 1943 those went color, too.
word play right away, but does that mean they say ' well i didn't understand that so i'm going to never watch this show again' no ! They ask they're mum and dad and have it explained and then learn something ! I blame the cartoons you speak of, the 'toon boom' ilk where mass production is too easy so people don't actually need to care about a project to make it. I mean if something is a lot of hard work like old cartoon it wipes out all the half assed effort and focuses on passion projects
what happened to toons? it became to much about the money rather than the story/moral/music its sad as it gets they just higher a graphic artist to spend 5 minutes what used to take weeks
Where did the classics go. I was born in the 90's and yet i will never get with the times.

The "Bread and Butter" phrase, from the 40's, was a greeting between people going to or from work, and earning money.

"Bread and Butter" is what you say when you're walking with someone and you walk on either side of a pole.
These were good times.

3:03-3:09
@dioclese youre right, the computer animation doesnt hold the same magic
But don't tease them in Zoos! See what happened to our old fella!

im trin to find a mery melodies with an owl that sings a song.
I like to singa about the moona ina juna with the springa. i cant find it
It was, 'dharma'. He's also the voice of "Egghead", here...I don't think Robert Cameron Bruce narrated this one...
I know that title, 'A Day At The Zoo'.
I ultimately pictured Tennessee Tuxedo coming up with the sign at 0:32...

Sorry it took me so long to respond!
I just discovered a Paramount cartoon on RUclips that you may like.
It has the "bouncing ball" sing-a-long to "California, Here I Come" with the full words.
Search RUclips for "The Golden State (1947)".
On that note, don't be fooled by 1930s Looney Tunes that are in color---those are colorized versions.
i love this cartoon, how did u find it?
the freakin' parrot is funny, I even act him out.
that guy should've learned from Tobi...for Tobi's a good boy =D
What's the difference between Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies, you ask? Everything at first, but eventually nothing.
At first LTs were black and white with recurring characters, while MMs were color musicals (color after 1935) with no recurring characters.

So then the only difference was the LTs were black and white, and in 1943 those went color, too.
I totally agree!
hell yeah thanks
excuse me could you assist me with the link from which you downloaded the classic songs because ive always wanted classic music. thanx
Probably the 3 Little Pigs story.

@rblackzzz we cherry picked the good ones from teh past and promptly forgot all the trash thats what happened
what happened to cartoons

They ask they're mum and dad and have it explained and then learn something !
