So appropriate for tonight’s opera … and of course you get more than The Anvil Chorus, in typical cartoon manner.
Tiny Toon Adventures – The Anvil Chorus
The Wabbit Who Came To Supper (1942)
(I hope you realize I put these up due to the music … it seems to me that music was so much a part of the early days of cartoons. The musicians had to be pretty darn good!)
Musical Moments (1947) Andy Panda and Woody Woodpecker
Merrie Melodies:I Haven’t Got a Hat (1935)
(Side note: the first voice for Porky Pig was Joe Dougherty, who stuttered in real life. This cartoon was the first that featured Porky. I wonder what Joe Dougherty thought about doing the character.)
Looney Tunes: Carrot Blanca (1945)
(Confession time: I’ve never seem Casablanca)
Flowers and Trees
Mickey Mouse: Plane Crazy
Popeye The Sailor: Sock-a-bye Baby
Popeye is pretty darn violent. I never realized that when I watched the cartoon as a kid!
Happy Harmonies: Bosko’s Parlor Pranks (1934)
I’m sorry she brought him the ice cream cone, but he got what he deserved, yes? Spoiled cartoon kid!
(I do love me some “They Might Be Giants”!)
Tiny Toons: “Istanbul – Not Constantinople”
