    “Thank you” to the folks who posted this Doc, doc! It’s a good one and definitely worth your time. The voice of the first wolf and the first buzzard is my late friend and Voice Acting teacher, Daws Butler (The voices of Yogi Bear, Huckleberry Hound, Quick Draw McGraw, the alien “Quisp” and veteran Seaman “Cap’n Crunch” (for their eponymous pre-sweetened breakfast cereals, and HUNDREDS of others for Hanna-Barbera, Jay Ward, and the BIG Hollywood movie studios MGM, Warner Bros., and, by way of Walter Lantz Productions, Universal Studios. Droopy was voiced by Bill Thompson, who was also the voice of Screwy Squirrel (or “Screwball Squirrel”, as he’s called in the first cartoon he stars in). And of course, June Foray is in this video. She WAS “Rocky the Flying Squirrel” (okay, so Tex was a bit ‘Squirrely’!) for Jay Ward Productions, and hundreds of others. June was called “The female Mel Blanc” many times in print. Chuck Jones disagreed. He said Mel was the MALE June Foray! My friend June would never let me pay for her lunch when my wife and I would visit her at her home, and we’d go out to one of June’s favorite coffee shops, which hhappened often. June made it to 99 years of age, and it was a matter of a few weeks before she would have turned 100 years old! AND she was still quite beautiful at the time! R.I.P., Daws and June. I first met them as they were walking into the San Diego Comic-Con many years ago. And of course there was Tex. BOTH June and Daws performed lots of voices for Tex Avery. Here’s quick letter to Tex, who has gone to his eternal reward for making so many people laugh so hard…
    Dear Tex,
    Thanks, cousin! You’re durn tootin’ you were funny, Doc! No sour Persimmons fer YOU!

    I would love for someone to make a "docu-drama" featuring all these greats from a great era. Tell their stories, how they interacted in the business. Tex Avery, Chuck Jones, Friz Freleng, Bob Clampett, etc. That would make a great film.

    Thanks to all these greats for illuminating my childhood.....I didn't find out until much later that a, all of my favorite cartoons weren't all Merrie Melodies or Disney, and b, these were all very much older than I knew....the cartoons made in the 70s and beyond couldn't hold a candle to those made in the 40s - 60s.....they still delight me now that I'm 60; their antics continue to make me belly laugh time after time and take me back to the innocent but erudite child (my sister taught me to read when I was 3) who understood the plot lines and was eternally engrossed by the operatic classical music that played in the background, that punctuated every action of every episode....they'll live on forever and I will be grateful as long as I live...RIP, your work, and my gratitude, lives on!

    I'm actually a bit disappointed with "Little Rural Riding Hood," because the animation with "Red" is recycled from "Swing-Shift Cinderella." The animation works up toward the end of the "Oh Wolfy" song, but then it cuts off with a flat, unappealing coda. The end of the song and animation for "Swing-Shift Cinderella" had to be cut in order for it to fit "Little Rural Riding Hood," and it's just disappointing to me. It's a shame that Preston Blair couldn't create something fitting for LRRH, but I believe he had moved to another unit at MGM in the late 40s.
