When I first saw this as a kid, I was totally surprised when I saw the Dodo riding the Warner Brothers' logo. That must have made theater audiences roar when this first came out! You don't see inovation like that in a joke anymore.
i like how the Salvador Dali inspired landscapes were implemented well with the whole Wackyland aesthetic. All of the creatures are very strange and alien looking and it just fits very well. Also I love the random nature of it too, just looks like something from a dream
These cartoons are the reason why the Dodo is my favorite looney tunes character. I feel like no one talks about him other than the fact he had a son in tiny toons
Interesting how the endings differ. The original ending is much more of a happy ending for the Dodo (he's "saved"), while in the 1949 version the other dodos arrive just too late for Porky to see them, and he drags the poor "last" Dodo up the ramp and away into captivity etc.
Maybe the dialogue makes the difference (there's supposed to be dialogue right??) but it seems like the original ending is much funnier. The "time traveler reports dodo WAS eventually captured" gag (I guess that's what's happening there?) seems much more sophisticated and clever than the standard "dress up like a girl in order to seduce and capture boy" concept.
@@o_o_o_o_o-o_o_o_o_o Tbf in the remake all did Porky was just dress up as another Do-Do bird to fool YoYo (yes that's his name) and claim that he's "the last Do-Do"
@@TheComedicProsthesecondone Ohh hm yeah he's not actually specifically dressing as a girl dodo is he? I misinterpreted because the dodo suit looks like a dress. Okay, so the joke is that Porky tricked the dodo into becoming the hunter, I guess? Or something like that. That's better than what I'd thought it was.
I watched this cartoon when I was like 5. I watched it at least 30 times at that time, because I was just obsessed and fascinated. But now I understand all the references to Dali etc...
@Sly Cooper, I mainly watched "Dough for the Doh Doh" a few times on Kids' WB in '96 during the "Bugs N Daffy" run and maybe "Porky in Wacklyland" at least once on one of the shows CN still had.. i think it was the Bob clampeett show or Toon Heads or sumthing...
Call me old fashioned, but I still prefer the black and white version. It left more to the imagination. When I was younger, I made my own color scheme and that’s how I still imagine the characters now.😊
My thought before watching this comparison was simple: 1938 "Wackyland" superb, 1949 "Dough" not as good. As if the classic black and white version, ranked as something like 8th among the 50 greatest cartoons of all time by animators in one book, couldn't be improved on. I'll still stand by 1938's "Wackyland," but the 1949 one had some Dali-like backgrounds that were great.
***** The comparisons are interesting. Clampett's 1938 version almost has to be viewed 10 times in order to catch everything that's going on with the backgrounds and the characters. That's its beauty. The 1949 Freleng cartoon is not quite that demanding but is great to watch too. Clampett has Porky landing in deepest, darkest Africa as I recall. Freleng's background almost evokes the U.S. southwest. I don't think color adds or detracts from this genuine cartoon classic.
prchristman I don't know, as someone who wasn't really aware of the hoopla of this cartoon, they seem to be virtually the same greatness-wise, except for the fun edition of color. (Although as good as they are, I certainly don't see either one as perfect, honestly)
he is only trying to compare the two visual parts my understanding is that the original Clampett was damaged, so Freleng took the character cels and added the new backgrounds (the colour film) with the Daliesque references (or direct steals; he probably asked)
This. Is. Truly. Awesome. Especially love the way the music fits. It's just so damn beautiful. I would kind of like to hear the two sounds on both cartoons just so i can see how similar and different they both are. But still, I LOVE the music on this!!! Just simply love it!
Clampett's Porky In Wackyland is still better imo because its, well, more original. The backgrounds, while in B/W are vastly superior. It doesnt feel like a boring wasteland and feels more full of wackyness
If I'm not mistaken, some of the retraced footage from Porky in Wackyland (from 0:50 to 1:17) from Dough for the Do-Do is actually stock footage from the earlier Tin Pan Alley Cats (which itself reused Wackyland footage). That's why some of the characters have "blackface" lips.
The 3-headed man was obviously a copy of the actual Three Stooges, although in the later version Moe's hair is blond instead of black, making the satire less obvious.
I remember both of these. Years after the first one they must have decided when they were redoing it in color to use some different ideas half way into the story, because I remember after those first 4 minutes or so they got quite bit different form each other
I’m late as the update on fallout 76 but yes, the colored backgrounds are much more surreal. I especially love the giant bones, mixing in with the unnatural life.
At 4:06 in the right frame, that's where my favorite pair of lines would be: Dodo: I'm rich, I'm rich! I caught the last dodo, I caught the last dodo! Porky: Oh n-n-n-no, you haven't. I'm rich, I caught the last d-d-d-dodo!
What I have to wonder now: Was the old animation simply re-traced onto new backgrounds drawn by Hawley Pratt (except for the end)? To be honest, I find the Clampett version to be scarier.
I love both versions, but I think the original is a little better because the outlandish rubber hose animation better fits the "wackiness" of the cartoon. But the remake version is still special to me because it was one of the first Looney Tunes episodes I ever watched.
Interesting that the color version apparently took its cels from Tin Pan Alley Cats, which was essentially a remake of the original black & white wackyland cartoon that then became banned for racism. You can tell because some of the characters have big lips from when they were transformed to blackface.
Really loved the music, thank you for uploading this. I remember this cartoon from my childhood, back then I loved creative stuff like that. Now it just strikes me as creepy, haha.
Did this cartoon started with Porky flying over a map and he goes to africa, dark africa, darker and then wackyland? Or im thinking about other cartoon?
I prefer Bob Clampett's version mainly due to the smoother animation. Friz Freleng's version is artistically stunning and very Salvador Dali-inspired to the fullest, but Clampett's version has much more leeway creating zanier gags with the use of more frames. The dance at 2:23 in particular got lost in translation in Freleng's version because the rhythm does not hold up nearly as well with Mel Blanc's performance as it did in Clampett's version. They're both great in their own ways, but personally I'll take Porky in Wackyland moreso.
I actually prefer "Dough for the Do-Do." It's more controlled (even though it's supposed to be zany) and less arbitrary. And the color, of course, helps. Some better gags ("rubber band") and better ending, too.
0:07 - Wow, 4 sextillion (10 to the 21st power) dollars for the last dodo...pretty sure that's more than all the money in the world, even nowadays. Also, we recently got a new short featuring the Dodo, but this time with Daffy Duck headlining. It's a hoot.
3:31 - 3:34 This scene for Porky in Wackyland was revomed in the *sunset productions* version Because this was to avoid any mention or reference to Warner Bros.
Anyone agree this is heavily inspired by if not directly inspired by heart of darkness? Someone is tasked with getting to someone else... there are three parts to Africa in both, AND in both, the country that's being traveled into is full of weird things.
@JanusHoW I think the 49 version is much more Dali- the clocks everywhere, the eyeballs and yeah, the bones and body parts too...the use of broken furniture and such instead of just regular plants. In any event, this is a fabulous side by side with great music - thanks so much for putting this together!
OMG, I forgot about the Do-do character. I think he was in a couple cartoons. Either that or he was more memorable from this cartoon and I just don't remember the rest of it
Nice that the song that you used is called Dali, because that's what the background of the color remake reminds me of. Anyone else? The original reminds me more of the Alice series.
@superleviathan i know it was oer a year when you posted, but i do want to bring what you said forward. Many of the elements from Wackyland were used in '43's Tin Pan Alley Cats during the main character's freakout scene, which explains why some afro stereotypes are included in the colour version (eg. big-lipped characters, the giant watermelon behind the "swingin'" rabbit)
@JanusHoW I agree with you on that. Pretty much everything WAS the same frame for frame, except at the very end like you said. Either way I still love them, and I love the way this video was put together. ;-)
I see plenty of Dali in the color version, and plenty that was not very Dali in the B&W. One of the coolest cartoons ever made. Wiki the story of the Dodo, it was a real bird, very sadly hunted into extinction
That was his son, Gogo. And yes, out of all the Looney Tunes & Tiny Toons characters, the only ones that actually are related to each other are Yoyo & Gogo (father & son), and Marvin & Marsha (uncle & niece).
When I first saw this as a kid, I was totally surprised when I saw the Dodo riding the Warner Brothers' logo.

The part where the Dodo comes from the WB logo has to be one of my favorite parts of any cartoon. I don't know why.
These cartoons are the reason why the Dodo is my favorite looney tunes character. I feel like no one talks about him other than the fact he had a son in tiny toons
And he only appeared in two cartoons.
@@yosefdemby8792great NOW someone comments on this
hes an obscure character which sucks because his design and where he comes from his really cool
I don't think Clampett intended him to be a recurring character.
@@yosefdemby8792 I think he was one of the studens of Tiny Toons
The sequence at 2:50 with the dodo running blends in with the soundtrack.
I prefer "Porky in Wackyland," but I like the outlandish colors & backgrounds used in "Dough for Do-Do."
I agree

You have to wonder how long a pair of stinking handcuffs will hold the Dodo though (or how long Porky can be the dominant one of the chained duo). XD
