      Yea seems pretty obvious, it's a representation of the early violent cartoons that received a lot of parental backlash in the early days of animation. Disney wasn't really a part of that so much. It was more of spoof of Hanna Barbera and Warner Bros.

      Actually, it was Fleicher Studios, Disney's earlier rivals (producers of Betty Boop, Popeye, and later the Superman Cartoons) that was the original flagship for cartoons with violence and a more adult bent.

    • @The_RedVIII
      @The_RedVIII 5 лет назад +355

      While that is somewhat true, they also take a lot of inspiration of Disney. The first Itchy cartoon is steamboat Itchy, which is a clear reference of Mickey Mouse' first cartoon Steamboat Willy. The whole studio behind Itchy and Scratchy is very reminiscent of Disney, with Roger Mayer Sr. being a frozen head referecing all the rumors that Walt Disney actually froze himself.

      This video just reminded you that you can't sue for copying ideas. Gleason, as the creator, could have tried to sue, but it wouldn't have been be successful. And by the way, while it was losely "based-on" the Honeymooners, it was not "blatant". They had different jobs, didn't live in an apartment building, Flinstone's had kids, etc.

    This sadly enough reminds me of the fact that a guy named Bill Finger mostly created Batman and a lot of the Batman Villains. He did it with Bob Kane.

      To be fair it was a little more nuanced than that and he didn't get shafted quite as badly as the guys who made Superman - at the time of Batman's creation he simply wasn't interested in taking credit as noone imagined it would lead to anything more, and generally people looked down on the profession. Bill Finger didn't recognise his own contribution in his own time, but at least being acknowledged now

    "Who is the voice of Chester Lampwick?"
    Ah, classic Simpsons, when celebrity cameos were written to serve a function of the story, rather than to just exist as obvious cameos.
    It never even occurred to me that Chester was voiced by a celebrity, even after all these years. I didn't recognize his voice, so I just assumed it was one of the regular voice actors. A lot of these similar cameos I've missed over the years, and DEFINITELY upon initial viewing as a child.

      Phil Hartman, the voice actor for Lionel Hutz, is dead. Killed by his wife. Out of respect for the man, they retired his characters. This is why you don't see Troy McClure anymore, either.

The studio changed the title at the last minute which meant they had to update the movie to show the new title. In the process, they forgot to include the copyright notice and it fell into the public domain.
