I remember them from reruns, as they aired a little bit before I was born.
“Beany and Cecil”...
“..actual classical music insinuated subtly into the cartoons...”
And that’s the amazing thing about it - it was ALWAYS there, in the background, as if it had been written SPECIFICALLY FOR the cartoons...
Music that had been around for centuries, and the Masters of Mayhem - Chuck Jones, Bob Clampett, Friz Freleng - just made those cartoons and the music SEAMLESSLY flow together.
And as a result, in our young minds, we were exposed to GREAT music of the ages, and absolute comedy insanity on the screen together.
It’s what made it work... and work SO well, that here we are, decades hence, STILL chuckling about it.
Again, the miracle of the Internet lets you get to relive it for a little while.
A cheery good morning to you. PING!
If about the same age as I, you might enjoy this thread and the Rocky and Bullwinkle Show that the poster included.
DC has not only recently been seen as insane; even back in the ‘60’s they had begun their road to insanity.
Hope you enjoy. A smile after the big nothing burger let down from Julian A. and crew.
The movie was... a movie. An attempt to capture something that can’t really be recreated. It was OK, but... different.
Sort of like remaking “Ghostbusters”. Unnecessary.
The cartoons are classic and will stand long after the movie is forgotten.
Say hello to Moose and Squirrel.
LOL Who knew? :)
(After Bullwinkle accidentally saves the day):
Natasha: "Boris, I thought you said plan was foolproof?
Boris: "Foolproof yes, idiotproof no!"
You could apply this to our Founding Fathers creating a Constitution to guarantee rights and freedoms.
I agree.
I remember those old cartoons well. The poor animation, cheesy background music, and awful puns. I still enjoy them after all these years.
But Scooby Doo is my favorite cartoon of all time.
Of course I remember them. Still fun to revisit.
