Posted on January 21, 2013 by Big Cartoon DataBase

Hurdy-Gurdy Hare

Robert McKim­son paired Bugs Bunny with Grue­some Gorilla in 1950 for Hurdy-Gurdy Hare. Any­time Bugs got to play against the Gorilla it was fun, and this film was no excep­tion. Seen it? Watch it today if it has been a while, or you need a good laugh or three!

Carton of the Day: Coal Black And De Sebben Dwarfs

Posted on January 16, 2013 by Big Cartoon DataBase

Coal Black And De Sebben Dwarfs

Eas­ily the most con­tro­ver­sial of all Bob Clampett’s films, Coal Black And De Sebben Dwarfs was never intended to offend, but rather to enter­tain. What Clam­pett had intended as a cel­e­bra­tion of Black music and cul­ture of his time has turned into a touch­stone of racist film mak­ing at Warner Bros. Addi­tion­ally, being a War film, there are some very dis­parag­ing com­ments about the Japan­ese in the film. So what do you think– is this car­toon his­tor­i­cally sig­nif­i­cant enough to rise above it’s racial over­tones, or is this more of the man keep­ing prej­u­dice alive?

Cartoon of the Day: Bosko In Dutch

Posted on January 14, 2013 by Big Cartoon DataBase

Bosko In Dutch

An early Looney Tune, Bosko In Dutch is gen­er­ally unre­mark­able in its story telling, ani­ma­tion or direc­tion. How­ever, the short is impor­tant because this was the first car­toon that one of the great­est car­toon direc­tors ever super­vised– albeit uncredited.

Cartoon of the Day: Dog Pounded

Posted on January 2, 2013 by Big Cartoon DataBase

Dog Pounded

Isadore Fre­leng directed many great films, and paired two time­less char­ac­ters so close they are now insep­a­ra­ble– Tweety and Sylvester. Dog Pounded is one of the later shorts, pro­duced in 1954. It begins with the very famil­iar image of a starv­ing Sylvester, rum­mag­ing through garbage cans for food…

Cartoon of the Day: Mexican Joyride

Posted on November 29, 2012 by Big Cartoon DataBase


Mexican Joyride

Released sixty-five years ago today, Daffy Duck took a Mex­i­can Joyride down to Tijuana for a lit­tle bit of rest and relax­ation. Directed by Art Davis, we can never resist pick­ing a Davis car­toon for CotD, even up against Arthur And The Invis­i­bles and Jet Fuel For­mula, the very first episode of Rocky and His Friends.
