[Sexy Celebrity]

Totally thought I was gonna come in here and see that I had won.

[Friendly Mushroom!]

Sent

Edit: looks like I need another. I'll think about my second.

[gbgoodies]

I'm in. I PMed you one of my two noms. I was only ready for one nom, so I'll have to decide on the second one.

[Topsy]

im in

[Camo]

I love that the Looney Tunes is so great that i could easily let you all have 5 nominations each and i'll still have too many to cut my list down to five :D

[Friendly Mushroom!]

Wow choosing is harder than I thought
But I decided.

[Camo]

I love every nomination so far. This is going to be a ridiculously positive HOF for me atm.

[Omnizoa]

Ideal for the 50s Countdown.

[jiraffejustin]

This is an awesome idea.

[Camo]

This is an awesome idea.

You joining mate? So hope you do. It is 10 minutes at most per nomination and i won't set any deadline, i'll just let everyone finish in their own time as long as it isn't ridiculous.

[jiraffejustin]

I don't know. I might just watch from the sidelines.

[Camo]

C'mon, JJ. You know i'll be all whatever all over this :p.

Seriously though hope you join mate, there's four of us so far, which means there's 80 minutes at most to watch but it is a lot closer to 50 actually.

[jiraffejustin]

Is Blitz Wolf Looney Tunes? I don't remember if it is or not. I am interested in joining, in fact, I probably will. I have no excuse not to finish this one.

edit: MGM. :(

[Camo]

Normally i'd be fine allowing stuff like that because it is from the golden age of animation but it is a Looney Tunes HOF and i'd rather this not end up a mix of Looney Tunes, Tom and Jerry, Disney, etc. I have said it is fine as long as the short features a Looney Tunes character. So it doesn't necessarily need to be from Merrie Melodies or whatever.

[Camo]

JJ has joined us guys :D

[jiraffejustin]

It's Looney Tunes, so I'd definitely not want to include an MGM short.

[Omnizoa]

A Merry Melodies/Color Classics HOF would be more my thing, I can think of a bunch if those.

[Camo]

Pick a few Merry Melodies ones then, you know that is what everybody is going to pick anyway. It's really weird how much you enjoy being difficult.

[Omnizoa]

Can I not simply voice an observation without "enjoying being difficult"?

I'm not insisting on anything and I'm more than likely alone in my perspective. Peace, Camo, peace.

[Camo]

I'll put everyone's nominations in the second post now actually. I'd rather wait until we have all the nominations to put them up but i don't want people being turned off by their picks already been taken.

[Camo]

I've been messaging you and you've been acting like your participation in this was precious, so yeah peace, i'd like you to join if you are a fan but i don't really care enough to pretend you joining is something important.

[Camo]

I've put the nominations so far into the second post. Still waiting on Topsy's, we ended up talking about something else so either she forgot to tell me which ones or she did and i missed them. Anyone can nominate still i just wanted everyone to know which ones have been taken.

[Omnizoa]

I've been messaging you and you've been acting like your participation in this was precious, so yeah peace, i'd like you to join if you are a fan but i don't really care enough to pretend you joining is something important.
( -_-) I had only just agreed to the Obscurities Song Tourney right before you messaged me so pardon me if I'm a little hesistent to commit more time.

Incidentally, I did add a bunch of LT shorts to my 50s list after you mentioned them. I may not consider myself a fan, but I do value your ideas.

[Omnizoa]

It does help to see what's already been nominated.

[Camo]

I'm sorry Omni for being harsh but you must get that you not answering whether you are going to join or not in a PM is annoying. Then you posting in this thread with random comments that i could have easily answered in PM or in the thread if you actually asked a question does seem like you think getting you to join is some sort of achievement,

I'd like you to join if you are a fan but i really don't care whether you do or not and i don't think you dancing about the subject is coincidental.

I think you're reading a little bit too deeply into this. The only "achievement" this might possibly qualify as, to me, is simply being able to say I've participated in a Hall of Fame. I haven't done one before.

I'd like you to join if you are a fan but i really don't care whether you do or not and i don't think you dancing about the subject is coincidental.
Well, you're free to think I'm conspiring against you or I have some massive ego to stroke, I doubt I can convince you otherwise.

I was on the fence before in regards to the time commitment, but no offense, this isn't quite the atmosphere I'm game for either, so I think I'll sit this one out. If that somehow reinforces your belief in some ulterior motivation... *shrug* okay then. ( o_o)

[Camo]

Got my noms up guys. I'll message Topsy and see if she is still joining.

[Friendly Mushroom!]

All the noms are by Chuck Jones except for mine Baseball Bugs, which is by Fritz Freleng. :D

[Camo]

haha. Yeah i noticed that. I was thinking about nominating this by Freleng - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satan%27s_Waitin%27

[Camo]

Another thing is that your noms are the only ones not from the 50's. Both of yours are from the 40's.

[Camo]

Got Topsy's noms up. Everyone who said they were joining has nominated. So what does everyone think should we nominate more or just stick with what we have? It's up to you guys.

[Citizen Rules]

...So what does everyone think should we nominate more or just stick with what we have? Stick with the number of nominations you already have posted as videos, two per person. You said this would be a small and fast Hof and that it wouldn't step on toes, now you're suggesting making it bigger.

So yeah, tell me if i'm stepping on any toes? You didn't give people enough time to respond to your post, you made your post, then quickly made this thread. It's not fair you cut into line when there's a Hof schedule This one needed to be placed at the end and not started now.

Um, please actually read in the future before barging in here like the Emperor of the HOF's. Nowhere, i repeat nowhere have i said this was going to start. If you actually took the time to read then you would have seen this -

I'll start a thread now. If there's problems with running it right now then i'll just take the noms now and i'll start it whenever the time is right. haha.

So please show me exactly where and when i've said this is going to start? I'll wait patiently. And i'll of course wait to run everything by you in the future since you are the boss of these, funny how you had nothing to say about Omni just deciding to do his countdown. Ridiculous. :rolleyes:

[Camo]

*dances out of the thread*

That wasn't to bring that up again, that's over with now. It was just pointing out Citizen's hypocrisy, since he actually supported you starting the Action Countdown. Yet he starts on me despite me actually asking if it was cool and when i got positive feedback i still made it clear i was willing to wait to start it that i'd just take the noms right now if need be. And i didn't even set a starting time. Ridiculous hypocrisy. :rolleyes:

[Citizen Rules]

Um, please actually read in the future before barging in here like the Emperor of the HOF's. Nowhere, i repeat nowhere have i said this was going to start. If you actually took the time to read then you would have seen this If it's not starting now, then you should have no problems with me saying it shouldn't start now.


If there's problems with running it right now then i'll just take the noms now and i'll start it whenever the time is right. haha. You asked if there was problems....I'm saying there's a problem with starting it now, so then we are in agreement. As you asked to be informed if there were objections, and I'm letting you know there's an objection.

funny how you had nothing to say about Omni just deciding to do his countdown. Ridiculous. :rolleyes:Funny that you gave Omni all sorts of grief about starting his Top 100 Action Countdown while Raul's thread was going, then you start this Hof while others are going and scheduled. I think you referred to Omni as Prince Omni...

And you're wrong I did have something to say to Omni.

Omni, I would like to see your Action Countdown work...you would enjoy it if it's successful, and we would enjoy it if it's successful. But I don't see many people joining because they feel the timing of your countdown encroaches on Raul's 50s countdown.

Like Cricket said, I'd like to send a list but I feel it would not be right for me to do so. I don't think many MoFos will cross the 'picket line' to send you a list.

I know you're resolved in doing the Countdown now, so how about a small change that might accompany all parties?

You have a long watch period for action movies with your deadline as deadline for lists is October 1st....It's safe to say most people don't need time to watch action movies and could send a list ASAP.
So a solution is: why not change your deadline to something much sooner and run this countdown more like what Sexy Celebrity does, for fun!

How about a deadline of 4th of July? This way no one can say your countdown interferes with the 50s countdown. Then people can feel OK about sending in a list... AND you can have a successful countdown. What do you think?

[Camo]

Funny that you gave Omni all sorts of grief about starting his Top 100 Action Countdown while Raul's thread was going, then you start this Hof while others are going and scheduled. I think you referred to Omni as Prince Omni...

And yet again i made it clear that i have no problems waiting if need be but you come barging in here with all sorts of demands.

Whatever anyway i'm not running it anymore. I just can't be bothered with the hypocrisy shown here :shrug:

[Citizen Rules]

Camo you asked the question:
...So what does everyone think should we nominate more or just stick with what we have?
And I answered:
Stick with the number of nominations you already have posted as videos, two per person. You said this would be a small and fast Hof and that it wouldn't step on toes, now you're suggesting making it bigger. The rest is my opinion that it was unfair to start it now, but I didn't tell you to quit.

[Friendly Mushroom!]

Whatever anyway i'm not running it anymore. I just can't be bothered with the hypocrisy shown here :shrug:

You may be mad and don't want to run this but I would still like to participate if you change or mind or something.

Also, didn't the 2nd 50's HoF jump ahead other planned HoF's and Sean gave his okay for this saying

The shorts HOF always run pretty smooth and independent. Knock yourself out, with an anvil, Camo.

[gbgoodies]

There was no reason to cancel this HoF. This was a Shorts HoF, and in the other thread, we all agreed that the Shorts HoFs could be ongoing at any time because they're shorts, so they don't interfere with full-length movies.

[jiraffejustin]

Looks like I missed something when I was gone.

[Camo]

OK, guys. Don't want to drop something we were all looking forward to because of one person so it is back on. I'll get the 10 noms i had back up and send me 1 or 2 more if you want. If we were to have four each with most of the short being 7 or 8 minutes each that would roughly be three hours or 20 minutes longer than Amour from the 10th Hall of Fame for our entire HOF. I'm sure that massive commitment will bring all of the other HOF's to a screeching halt but that is a risk i'm willing to take.

[Friendly Mushroom!]

I personally think this should be a two parter. We all watch the films already nominated and then nominate some more; a la 50s HoF. However, I'm fine with this being in 1 part.

[Camo]

Got them back up. I'm fine with sticking with what we've got or taking one or two more. It's up to you guys. You guys meaning those who are participating in the HOF.

[gbgoodies]

I'm glad to see that this is back on. :)

I can easily nominate a couple more Looney Tunes shorts if that's what everyone wants. Just let me know if and/or when you want them.

[Camo]

I'm glad to see that this is back on. :)

I can easily nominate a couple more Looney Tunes shorts if that's what everyone wants. Just let me know if and/or when you want them.

Me too. I think we should probably stick with the 12 we've got or have one more nom each which would give us a total of 18, or 180 Minutes max. So what does everyone think?

[jiraffejustin]

I think what we have now would be fine, but either way, I'm still interested.

[Camo]

Sorry guys i kind of forgot about this as i've been a bit busy. Thanks for bumping it JJ. Since no one really responded to my question we'll just stick with what we have. So we'll start it now, later i'll PM everybody telling them in case they miss it. I'm not setting a deadline right now if that is OK with everyone, i'd rather this be a bit more casual than the other HOF's. There's about 48 minutes of cartoons here, just watch and post when you are in the mood then send me a list when you are finished, as long as it isn't a ridiculous amount of time i don't think there should be any drop outs with the lax timeframe and less than an hour to watch.

So hope everyone enjoys the nominations and hope we get a few good discussions going :)

[gbgoodies]

So has this started yet? I was waiting to find out if there would be any more nominations.

[Camo]

It has gbg, post a review or whatever when you want. I'm not even sure some of the nominators are still interested in what we have here so i don't think expanding this would be wise. Kind of gutted there's less than an hour of footage altogether though :(

[Camo]

You guys get +2 Camo approval points if you tell me what you think of this:

I never cared much for Mickey Mouse, but when I was a kid, Donald Duck was one of my favorite Disney characters. My friends and I used to try to imitate the way he talks, and see if we could understand each other. :lol:

I prefer the Donald Duck cartoons with Chip and Dale, but that cartoon was adorable. In a way, he kind of deserved what he got because he wasn't paying attention to the ingredients he added, but I'll bet he didn't learn his lesson. :lol:

I especially loved that it sounded like the Pinocchio song "I've Got No Strings" after he gets all tangled up and looks like a marionette.

[Nope1172]

I didn't realize this was back on until Camo let me know. I will get busy watching soon!

[Camo]

but that cartoon was adorable.

Yeah, it is one of my favourite Disney shorts. I was watching modern disney cartoons with my nephew the other day and i sneakily put on the better classic ones including that, thankfully he didn't notice.

[christine]

I'll be watching sone of these! I'd like to see which ones are peoples favourites :)

[Camo]

Christine, if you want to join you still can i'm sure nobody would mind as there's only 12 7-8 minute cartoons to watch and i'm giving everyone as much time as they need. It's up to you if you want to just pick two ten minutes or less shorts featuring Looney Tunes characters. The ones already nominated are in the second post.

[Camo]

Duck Dodgers In The 24 1/2 Century

http://i67.tinypic.com/2nw0nwm.png

This is quite possibly my favourite Looney Tunes short which is a tall order as there are so many great ones. Over a 10-15 year period during this time arguably a bit longer the vast majority of the Looney Tunes Shorts produced where of a high quality. It is an incredible achievement which i don't think has been equalled much in any form of media, especially not of things that were/are producing as much annually as Warner Bros were.

To me Duck Dodgers brings together everything that made Looney Tunes such a high quality cartoon, it's funny with great characters and amazing expressive animation and is also a very well done, clever and to the point satire on the cold war. Something that to me puts it above a lot of similar cartoons for this era, it has a very simple yet important message especially for its time played out by these wacky, anarchic characters. That the more the weapons race goes on and intensifies it will just lead to the detriment rather than the improvement of humanity and possibly the end of our existence, which is best exemplified by Daffy proclaiming himself ruler of the tiny part of the planet remaining. We have one of the best Daffy characterizations here, the overconfident Daffy who always loses. The disentigrating pistol scene with his protective vest scene is great here, such fantastic animation. My favourite line in the episode is Porky's: Happy b-b-b-b-birthday. you thing from another world you.

Anyway i think i'll leave it there as it is only a seven minute short, i don't want to say everything that can be said and leave you guys repeating stuff.

Seven minutes of gold!

http://i66.tinypic.com/fuonky.jpg

This is actually the only one i hadn't already seen. I'm really not a fan of the animation from this era but this particular cartoon was better than the norm thankfully. Still the animation from this time was a bit too "perfect", it doesn't have the flawed charm of the 40s, 50s, cartoons and thus doesn't come out as expressive and interesting. Bugs was pretty good in this but i wasn't crazy about the others, particularly Tweety and her? his? awkward Peter Lorre impression. As i was saying about the animation not being as expressive i thought that was particularly evident in the transition of Tweeties face into Peter Lorre's, something that was one of the best things about the old Looney Tunes shorts, it was so seemless and had lots of character. And oh man Yosemite Sam's voice was horrible, really turned me off of his scenes. Daffy wasn't that bad but i didn't really like his jokes. Anyway no point in continuing to be negative, the best thing about the short was easily Bugs flashback IMO.

Decent nom Topsy but my bias towards the classic era and Mel Blanc who i think would have did a better job with the impressions. Sorry for being a bit hard on it Topsy, i at least really like your other nom and am looking forward to seeing it again.

To me Duck Dodgers brings together everything that made Looney Tunes such a high quality cartoon, it's funny with great characters and amazing expressive animation and is also a very well done, clever and to the point satire on the cold war. Something that to me puts it above a lot of similar cartoons for this era, it has a very simple yet important message especially for its time played out by these wacky, anarchic characters. That the more the weapons race goes on and intensifies it will just lead to the detriment rather than the improvement of humanity and possibly the end of our existence, which is best exemplified by Daffy proclaiming himself ruler of the tiny part of the planet remaining. We have one of the best Daffy characterizations here, the overconfident Daffy who always loses. The disentigrating pistol scene with his protective vest scene is great here, such fantastic animation. My favourite line in the episode is Porky's: Happy b-b-b-b-birthday. you thing from another world you.

Anyway i think i'll leave it there as it is only a seven minute short, i don't want to say everything that can be said and leave you guys repeating stuff.

Seven minutes of gold!

I'm glad you liked Duck Dodgers In The 24-1/2 Century so much. It's my favorite Looney Tunes cartoon, and Marvin the Martian is my favorite Looney Tunes character. (I haven't rewatched it for this yet, but I will soon.)

I love when he follows the planets to get to Planet X. And the disintegrating vest and pistol, and Duck Dodgers' secret weapon are funny too. I love the ending. I just think this cartoon is great from start to finish. :)

This is also one of the few cartoons where I love Porky Pig. (He's usually not one of my favorite characters.)

[Camo]

It's my favorite Looney Tunes cartoon,

It is probably mine too. It is at least my most watched as i really loved it when i was younger and had it on all the time.

Marvin the Martian is my favorite Looney Tunes character.

He's not my favourite but i do like him a lot. Love his voice.

This is also one of the few cartoons where I love Porky Pig. (He's usually not one of my favorite characters.)

Porky is actually one of my favourites, top five probably. I was close to nominating Porky In Wackyland.

[gbgoodies]

I watched Baseball Bugs today, and while it's extremely unrealistic, (unlike most other Looney Tunes cartoons :rolleyes:), it's a lot of fun. Sometimes I wish the NY Mets could play baseball as well as Bugs Bunny, and with his crazy rules too.

I love when he fights with the umpire, "You're out. I'm safe.", etc. :lol:

I also love the batboy, and the "Umpire" State Building, but the Statue of Liberty at the end is probably my favorite part. :lol:

Great pick. :up:

[Camo]

I love when he fights with the umpire, "You're out. I'm safe.", etc.

Man i love that joke, Looney Tunes makes that exact joke a lot and it never gets old. The joke where the character usually Bugs changes what he's saying to confuse the other in this case he starts saying i'm out so the umpire says he's in. :laugh:

[gbgoodies]

Porky is actually one of my favourites, top five probably. I was close to nominating Porky In Wackyland.

You should have nominated "Porky In Wackyland". I haven't seen that cartoon in years, so I don't remember it very well, but as I recall, it was kind of surreal. (If I remember correctly, it's black & white, isn't it?)

[gbgoodies]

Yeah, that's one of my favorite recurring themes too.

[Camo]

It is yeah, it was made in the late 30's before the golden age that IMO is mid 40s-late 50's. It's probably my favourite from that time.

Yeah, if we do i think i'll nominate that and one of my favourite Sylvester and Tweety shorts. This - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satan%27s_Waitin%27

The Scarlet Pumpernickel

http://i65.tinypic.com/34dsas0.jpg

One of my nominations. I love this of course but it isn't actually one of my absolute favourites. I mostly nominated it because i feel it is one of the most well regarded classics that is mentioned the least so i was curious what everyone thought of it.

Weird thing to point out but i think this may have my favourite title picture, with the dark castle. Yet again the animation is fantastic, love the use of dark shadows not the most common thing in a Looney Tunes cartoon. Daffy's sneezing scene, him crashing through the wall and the ride towards the castle were done particularly well. The sword fight and everything that follows is of course classic Looney Tunes greatness, love the movement, extremely well directed. I really like how Daffy is the valiant, mosyly competent hero (more than usual anyway) but they avoid compromising his usual characterization by having it as Daffy reading a story, basically giving a glimpse of how he sees himself versus how he actually is. Very smart move as Daffy of course can't win in reality, shows how well written these cartoons were that they go out of their way to keep the characterization consistent, really gives an impression that the writers cared.

http://i64.tinypic.com/e1eteh.png

That's me done for today, i'm already a quarter way through them haha.

[Friendly Mushroom!]

I said in a comment message to Camo I'll be done by the end of August. That was stupid of me. :D

I'm going to re-watch all of the ones I have seen tonight (which is all but Operation Rabbit and Carrotblanca.) I know I have seen Scarlet Pumpernickel and Pappy's Puppy but I have little to no memory of them, unlike the others. I'll post thoughts tomorrow along with Blade Runner and The Lucky Ones for the 10th HoF.

[Camo]

(which is all but Operation Rabbit

It's very good, enjoy. I kind of want to watch another before i go to bed haha.

[gbgoodies]

I'm going to try to watch some of these tonight. I had Looney Tunes DVDs on in the background today while I was working, but I wasn't able to really pay attention to them the way I wanted to.

But at least it got me in the mood to sit and watch them tonight, especially the Duck Season/Rabbit Season "Hunting Trilogy". (I can't watch just one of those three cartoons without watching the other two. :) )

[Camo]

(I can't watch just one of those three cartoons without watching the other two.

haha same here. I think i'll leave that one to last and do a post about the trilogy.

[gbgoodies]

haha same here. I think i'll leave that one to last and do a post about the trilogy.


Or you can watch them next, and do your post about the trilogy tomorrow. ;)

Thanks for the heads up,Camo! I cant believe ive missed all these posts :eek::eek:

Lol,poor ol`Donald.
I love his sailor suit. Theres a part where his head gets stuck in it and he starts breathing bubbles-is it meant as a nodge to Mickey Mouse? It sorta looks like his head at some part.
my favourite part was at the end where it gets stuck in the tree and comes back :lol: :lol: :lol: oh and the small part singing on the radio gave me such nostalgia!
I very much enjoy this episode!

Carrotblanca

Decent nom Topsy but my bias towards the classic era and Mel Blanc who i think would have did a better job with the impressions. Sorry for being a bit hard on it Topsy, i at least really like your other nom and am looking forward to seeing it again.

No worries at all. I can defo see why its not to everyones taste- its,aswell as the other things you mentioned,a bit darker than usual looney tunes.
i had a difficult time deciding between that one and this one

Duck Dodgers in the 24 1/2 Centuryhttp://i.imgur.com/iW3Qcy4.jpg
I decided to start of this HoF with a true Looney Tunes classic. This has always been one of my favorite cartoons, and I was upset when GBG beat me to the punch nominating it. One of the reasons I love Looney Tunes so much is because of their simplicity, and this is a prime example. There is a very brief amount of exposition at the beginning, but besides that, it's just a duck and a martian fighting over the rights to Planet X, and I love every minute of it. My personal favorite part of the short is the "Ultimatum Gun" gag. It cracks me up every time. I also love the look of this cartoon, the design of the spaceships, planets, and costumes are especially unique. After my first viewing, I realized it is going to be near-impossible to rank these classics.

[Nope1172]

When is the due date?

[Nope1172]

Duck Amuck
http://i.imgur.com/mbkdwDo.jpg
Another classic. The best part about this cartoon is how meta it is. It keeps twisting and turning, and the jokes just keep rolling. It just seems like the animators of this cartoon had a blast making it, and that really makes a difference. Possibly the best gag in Looney Tunes history comes at the very end of this short, and it still makes me laugh every time I see it. This cartoon just proves how creative and unique each cartoon was. That's all I'm gonna say about this one, its hard to think of a lot to write about a 6-minute cartoon. Still, it's fantastic, and I love every second of it.

[Nope1172]

Rabbit Seasoninghttp://s1.dmcdn.net/Yu72.jpg
Probably the most iconic of all the Looney Tunes cartoons, Rabbit Seasoning has some of the funniest gags of all time. Every time Daffy's face is distorted or disaffirmed, I die of laughter. This cartoon also has some of the best interactions between Daffy and Bugs, only to be contested by the other shorts in the "Hunting Trilogy". Again, I love this cartoon, but there is only so much to say that hasn't already been said about a 7 minute cartoon. One of my personal favorites.

[Nope1172]

Drip-Along Daffy
http://livingincinema.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/seems-awfully-breezy-in-here.jpg
This is one of the few nominations in the HoF that I had not previously seen. I enjoyed the cartoon very much, and there were some gags that I really enjoyed. I enjoyed the parodying of Westerns, a lot of which was in the very beginning of the short. My favorite part was the montage of all of the duels in the town at the very beginning. Overall, a very solid cartoon that I enjoyed watching for the first time.

[Camo]

When is the due date?

I haven't set one. Want to give people as much time as they need.

One Froggy Evening

http://i63.tinypic.com/fod2kn.jpg

I was glad to see this was nominated as i hadn't seen it in a while. After watching it i thought that i definetly should watch it more often as it is fantastic. This has to be up there with the best directed Looney Tunes Shorts. The movement is particularly incredible, i love the Hello My Baby song scene, with the frog kicking while leaning sideways, it looks fantastic. All of the dancing scenes are excellent and they are similar to this, but i always thought the first and last ones were especially fantastic. It is funny as well, the scene where the guy tries to make the frog dance but it won't move yet the second the guy is kicked out of the office it starts up again always cracks me up. As well as the scene at the theatre. the general torment the guy goes through is hilarious. Not much else to say about this. It is an extremely well directed short with great animation, songs and dancing, and has a strong charm to it.

Operation:Rabbit
http://im.ezgif.com/tmp/ezgif-3828859756.jpg
This cartoon was always one of my favorites, and I love how great Bugs and Wile E. Coyote work together. I believe they were only in 4 other cartoons together besides this one. This was only the second ever appearance of Wile E, and it always weird to hear his voice. Even though I do think he is better when only using signs, he is still hilarious in this cartoon. I wish there were more Bugs and Wile E cartoons made, since I prefer Bugs' witty banter to Road Runners simple yet hilarious noises. Either way, this is a great cartoon that will always have a special place in my heart.

[Camo]

I was hoping a few Road Runner cartoons would be nominated as they get a bit ignored compared to Bugs/Daffy ones, when there is plenty of amazing ones. Should have nominated one myself, i would've if we ended up expanding it.

I'm going to ask if it is fine with everyone that they put the name of the short at the beginning of their post like me and Nope has done. It is just so i know that is your write up for it so i can put it into the second post, because it is of course not easy to write a lot about such a short cartoon and i'm not entirely sure if your Duck Amuck post Topsy or gbg's Baseball Bugs ones are your write up for it. Just for the future guys to make it a bit easier for me to understand this weird experiment :p

Duck Amuck

http://i63.tinypic.com/2ldyjdh.jpg

Duck Amuck along with What's Opera Doc? are pretty much the two most well regarded Looney Tunes cartoons, and probably the most acclaimed American shorts (of this length at least) of all time. Whether you enjoy them or not it isn't difficult to see why. I don't think there is many 6-8 minute videos as ambitious as these. This is just a ridiculously fun ride that showcases the genius of the Looney Tunes Animation Staff better than anything else. One thing that i think is often overlooked in Duck Amuck is the extreme attention to detail. Obviously you'll be saying that is what it is most praised for but with the ever changing scenery's and stuff Daffy is wearing they never actually forget about Daffy himself which would be extremely easy to do, even forgivable. But no, his facial expressions and body movement is done with as much care as any Looney Tunes Short from this area. Just pure brilliance, the stuff that makes me such a fan of these cartoons. The voice acting is incredible too, Daffy is changing so much throughout this cartoon and he gets increasingly more angry which is played to perfection. Anyway there's not much else to say, Nope has already mentioned its meta qualities and anyone who has seen it knows how great the ending is, possibly the best one and an admitted inspiration for one of my favourite South Park Episodes: Woodland Critter Christmas. The reveal of Bugs hand when he is closing the door on Daffy is one of my favourite images in all of Looney Tunes. Gets me every time.

Perfection!

Pretty sure i actually read that it was a pain in the ass making this for the animators. Obviously they were rightfully extremely happy with the end product but with the amount of time usually given to animate one of these it was extremely ambitious and must have been hell in the animators room for a few days. haha.

[Nope1172]

Carrotblanca
http://i.imgur.com/D13M88R.jpg
To be completely honest, this was the only one of these cartoons so far that I haven't ended up loving. I found most of the jokes to be pretty lackluster parody, and the lack of both Mel Blanc and Chuck Jones was very apparent. There was pretty much no visual gags, which is the highlight of most Looney Tunes cartoons. It's a shame because Casablanca is one of my favorite films, and I was really looking forward to watching this for the first time. Also Peter Lorre Tweety Bird was just disturbing. This will probably be an obvious pick for the bottom of my list.

[Nope1172]

I disagree, a lot of this cartoon was just white and plain backgrounds, so I think it was a time that many of the animators could experiment and play around.

Pappy's Puppy
http://rymimg.com/lk/f/l/6baaf05e48b35dd2e114a2fec2b864de/3709376.jpg
I was very glad to see some Sylvester the Cat nominated, as he is one of my favorite characters. This was another one of the nominations I had not previously seen, and I really enjoyed it. Something I really liked about this cartoon, along with many other Sylvester cartoons, is just how brutal and twisted it was. Sylvester no only attempts to murder an innocent puppy with a shotgun, but he also throws a stick into the middle of a busy street in with the hopes the pup will get hit by a car trying to retrieve it. Its so twisted, and I love it. One of the other things I love about Sylvester is that he's the bad guy. In no way is Butch the Bulldog in the wrong, he's just protecting his child from a psychopathic murderous maniac. This is why I prefer Sylvester's standalone cartoons much more than his Tweety Bird ones. Anyways, I love me some good Sylvester, and this was honestly one of his best.

Duck Dodgers in the 24 1/2 Centuryhttp://i.imgur.com/iW3Qcy4.jpg

Camo hit most of the points I'd want to make about this fantastic short. The Cold War/arms race satire is some of the best I've seen, especially inside this medium. A lot of the animated shorts of the era don't really get credit for being so poignant, probably because they are so wacky. Duck Dodgers is very much wacky, but don't mistake that for not having anything of value to say. Along with King-Size Canary, Duck Dodgers in the 24 1/2 Century belong in a special class when it comes to satire of the Cold War and the arms and space races of the time. If you enjoy this, maybe give that short a go as well.

And it's funny too. Porky's "big deal" at the end is the cherry on the sundae for me. The disintegrating pistol gag, the spaceship in reverse, and other moments get some chuckles from me.

Sorry about that, but I knew that I wanted to nominate this as soon as we started talking about this HoF, and I had a feeling that someone else might nominate it first, so I sent in my nom as quick as possible.

But on a lighter note, I'm glad to see people are enjoying this cartoon. My noms rarely do well in HoFs.

I agree about Wile E. Coyote and his signs. I prefer the cartoons when he uses the signs instead of talking, but it would be weird for him to have a sign calling himself a genius.

Duck Dodgers in the 24 1/2 Century (Chuck Jones, 1952)

By now, you should all know that this is my favorite of all of the Looney Tunes cartoons, and Marvin the Martian is my favorite Looney Tunes character. This cartoon is a classic Looney Tunes battle of wits. I love it for so many reasons, especially the way that Daffy Duck, as Duck Dodgers, plays off of the other characters. I love how he takes credit for Porky Pig's ideas, like following the planets, and how he and Marvin the Martian take shots at each other, with Marvin usually coming out on top.

http://www.movieforums.com/community/attachment.php?attachmentid=26382&stc=1&d=1469589362

Surprisingly, the only one here who seems to be smart enough to win is Porky Pig as the "Eager Young Space Cadet", but as they all seem to play "¿Quién es más macho?", (as Judge Marilyn Milian would say on "The People's Court"), nobody wins in the end, and the end of the cartoon is perfect.


On a side note, I recently found out that these are coming soon, and I must have them!

Duck Amuck (Chuck Jones, 1953)

This is another one of my all-time favorite Looney Tunes cartoons. It's hard to believe that a cartoon, no matter how short, could be so funny with only one character on screen for the majority of the cartoon, but this is one of the funniest cartoons ever.

I love the way Daffy Duck starts out so happy, and each time the scenery changes, he gets a litle bit more annoyed. Then, he realizes the new character he plays could be fun, and he starts to happily go along with the changes, until things change again. Even as a cartoon character, the inflections in his voice and his mannerisms are perfect.

http://www.movieforums.com/community/attachment.php?attachmentid=26385&stc=1&d=1469590604

My favorite parts are probably the scene where Daffy's body is changed into a funky looking, walking flower, (shown above), when he's on the island and he wants a close-up, and when the reel of film is not centered properly from the top to the bottom of the screen. And this is another Looney Tunes cartoon with a perfect ending.

[gbgoodies]

Drip-Along Daffy (Chuck Jones, 1951)

This is another cartoon featuring Daffy Duck as the lovable loser. This time he becomes the new sheriff of a very tough western town.

http://www.movieforums.com/community/attachment.php?attachmentid=26387&stc=1&d=1469592925

I've never been a big fan of westerns, but this cartoon is a lot of fun. It is filled with some of the most common western cliches, like the violent western town with the big, mean villain, but it shows them in a way that makes them funny.

http://www.movieforums.com/community/attachment.php?attachmentid=26388&stc=1&d=1469592947

I love the traffic light that seems to regulate the chase scenes. :lol: I also love the little things in this, like the ice cubes jumping out of the drink because it's too hot for them. And again, Porky Pig is the one with the brains, as he comes to Daffy's rescue. The ending of this cartoon is another great Looney Tunes ending.

This isn't my favorite cartoon, but it's a good one. :)

[gbgoodies]

The Scarlet Pumpernickel (Chuck Jones, 1950)

http://www.movieforums.com/community/attachment.php?attachmentid=26392&stc=1&d=1469595133

This cartoon is kind of unique because Daffy Duck has written a movie script, so he finally gets to play the role of the hero. He even compares himself to Errol Flynn as he tries to rescue the damsel in distress.

http://www.movieforums.com/community/attachment.php?attachmentid=26390&stc=1&d=1469595070

As he tells his story, we get to see some of the other Looney Tunes characters playing the other roles in his movie. I would have liked to see more of the swordfight between Daffy and Sylvester, but it is just a 7 minute cartoon. :shrug:

http://www.movieforums.com/community/attachment.php?attachmentid=26391&stc=1&d=1469595095

Again, it's the little things that are my favorite parts of this cartoon. I love how Daffy misses the horse when he jumps on it, and the way he gets over the wall to rescue Melissa.

I thought Porky Pig and Elmer Fudd were both kind of miscast in their roles, but not enough that it hurt the fun of the cartoon at all. They just felt a bit "off" from their normal character types. And the ending of this cartoon was only okay. It was good, but it wasn't as good as most Looney Tunes endings.

[gbgoodies]

Rabbit of Seville (Chuck Jones, 1950)

This classic Looney Tunes cartoon has Bugs Bunny as his normal smarta$$ character going up against Elmer Fudd as the dimwitted hunter. After Elmer Fudd chases Bugs Bunny on the opera stage, Bugs becomes the barber and Elmer becomes the customer. And as expected, Bugs Bunny finds a bunch of ways to take advantage of poor Elmer. One of the great things about this cartoon is that it lets us appreciate opera music, even if you're not a fan of opera.

http://www.movieforums.com/community/attachment.php?attachmentid=26393&stc=1&d=1469597221

The music helps to set the mood as the cartoon progresses. Whether Elmer is chasing Bugs, or Bugs is the barber who is tormenting Elmer, the music is perfect throughout the cartoon. (For some reason, this cartoon always makes me think of "Sweeney Todd". :shrug: )

This is a great cartoon, but I think the other famous Looney Tunes opera cartoon, "What's Opera, Doc?", is more fun than this one. But this is definitely one of the top-tier Looney Tunes cartoons, and another one with a terrific ending.

One Froggy Evening
http://www.davidbordwell.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/Froggy-4-500.jpg
This cartoon is and always will be one of my favorite Looney Tunes shorts of all time. Everything about it is amazing. One of my favorite parts about this cartoon is the fact that it uses not dialogue at all (except for the songs of course). Many of my favorite gags come from the simple yet hilarious facial expressions of the lead character. My favorite scene is when he first discovered the frog in the construction site. The movement of the frog is also hilarious, and I love the character of Michigan J. Frog. Only the mastermind Chuck Jones could figure out a way to make a singing frog ruin someone's life. A true classic in every way.

Pappy's Puppy

http://i63.tinypic.com/svt5zp.jpg

Not got that much to say about this one, mostly because i don't think it is any sort of masterpiece. It is however a lot of fun and it's really sweet. The puppy is adorable. I absolutely adore when he's trying to make the puppy look all mean, the first time it tries to imitate him with that menacing stride is the cutest thing ever. It's persistence with Sylvester is pretty hilarious. You do have to feel a little sorry for Sylvester at first haha, who was minding his business when he got attacked and he only tried to stop this from happening rather than do actual harm to the puppy. Obviously that quickly changes. As i said to Topsy earlier i hadn't seen this one in years, the only part i remembered was the playing fetch in traffic part which brought back a sense of nostalgia. Anyway while not one of my favourites it is a lot of fun and i'm really glad it was nominated as unlike most of the classics nominated, i rarely revisit this one.

[Nope1172]

Rabbit of Seville
http://i.imgur.com/gMKyryJ.jpg
This is yet another classic that I'm very glad got nominated. While it was never one of my favorites, I still really enjoy this cartoon. I think the best part about this short by far is the music. I love how the music fits the action, and it creates some of the most memorable moments in the short. I always thought the part where Bugs and Elmer get married is kind of strange, but it was still kind of funny. There isn't very much more I have to say about this cartoon that hasn't already been said. Overall, it's still a classic.

[Nope1172]

Long-Haired Hare
https://i.vimeocdn.com/video/437939153_640.jpg
Long-Haired Hare is probably the most slapstick cartoon of all the nominations in this HoF. Every second of this cartoon someone is either nearly suffocating, getting blown up, or getting shover down the horn of a tuba. I really enjoyed the end of the cartoon, even though it was pretty brutal. I have a strange feeling that the opera singer might not have survived what Bugs threw at him. Anyways, this was a great short that I don't really have much more to say about.

[Camo]

Just in case anyone is wondering what the numbers in the first post are, it is just a running total of how many write ups everyone has done so far for my benefit. Mushroom has watched them all and sent me his list already and said he'll do his writeups at a later time just in case people are wondering why he hasn't started yet.

[Camo]

I was thinking that whenever we finish this i'd include the nominators write up in the reveal. Just as a blurb after it, it really doesn't need to be anything special obviously since these are 6-8 minute cartoons. Everybody cool with that?

[Nope1172]

Baseball Bugs
http://public.media.smithsonianmag.com/legacy_blog/Baseball_Bugs_003-550w.jpg
I remember this being one of the first Looney Tunes cartoons I had ever seen. I think I saw it on Cartoon Network or something, and I loved every second of it. I still really enjoy the cartoon, but it isn't really one of my favorites. Some of the jokes get a little repetitive, and I prefer when the villains have character, instead of just being faceless goons. Still a fantastic cartoon.

[Camo]

Some of the jokes get a little repetitive,

So do most jokes in Looney Tunes. Most of the classic jokes are variations of former or future jokes done in a slightly different way, often borrowed from popular comedy routines of the time. I think the brilliance of the classic era of Looney Tunes is that the jokes (at least for me) aren't necessarily the best thing especially as i've gotten older. The animation, themes, characterization, music, voice acting, etc, have become more important to me now which is why i find these so ridiculously re watchable. I mean otherwise by the third watch at most you'd have memorized every joke since these are only 6-8 minutes long.

[Camo]

Rabbit of Seville

http://i64.tinypic.com/3gk3.jpg

This is one of my absolute favourite Looney Tunes cartoons, favourite doesn't always mean best for me but i truly think this is one of the best. Saying that, i completely agree with gbg i prefer What's Opera Doc? and i also think it is better. The only reason i didn't nominate What's Opera Doc? was because i expected someone else too, same with Duck Dodgers.
I went with the next best thing, another fantastic Looney Tunes venture into classical music.

Anyway i don't want to compare this to What's Opera Doc? throughout because it will sound like i'm being negative even though this is one of my favourites, but the main things that are missing is the emotional touch to WOD and IMO WOD has the best voice acting (singing) in any Looney Tunes cartoon particularly from Elmer Fudd.

http://i63.tinypic.com/2ahwdts.jpg

Elmers face when he first realizes he's on stage is one of my favourites in Looney Tunes. While a bit lesser than the voice acting in the short i keep mentioning, it is still incredibly fantastic here. It doesn't have Elmer's continually changing character as much but it also has Bugs fast singing at the start that is one of the few things it eclipses WOD on. I love when Bugs is wearing the green dress thing, and he is snipping his scissors, i watched this short in slow motion once and that part was actually the part that made me fall in love with Looney Tunes Animation. Not that it is a particularly amazing scene but i think it is the best done in this short. The classic scene here is of course Bugs barber scene with the fruit and Elmer's ensuing chase having reverted to anti-bugs after lifting his spell haha. The best thing about this short may be Bugs face for me. In my Duck Amuck write up i praised them not forgetting about Daffy's facial expression and movement so this may seem pretty inconsistent (coz it is) but i adore how often Bugs has that bug eyed so pleased with himself look throughout the cartoon. Gives an air of smugness that no character captures better than Bugs IMO.

With Nope mentioning repetitive jokes i'd just like to give a shout out to the guy off screen comes in with a bigger weapon joke. :D

Sorry for mentioning What's Opera Doc? so often btw i just find it difficult not to compare them and i was also expecting it to be nominated.

The Scarlet Pumpernickel
https://animationreview.files.wordpress.com/2013/02/the-scarlet-pumpernickel-c2a9-warner-brothers.jpg
I haven't watched this cartoon in many years, and it felt a lot more mature than most of the other Looney Tunes shorts I've seen. The parts with Daffy and the CEO of WB was a funny satire of the film business, and there is a part at the end where Daffy literally shoots himself in the head. Also, it seemed to be implied that one of the characters was about to get raped. Maybe I'm just reading into it too much. Either way, this was a hilarious short, and my last watch for this HoF. This was a fantastic HoF, I pretty much loved all of the noms except for one. I will be sending my list shortly.

[jiraffejustin]

Duck Amuck
http://i63.tinypic.com/2ldyjdh.jpg

If you show up late to one of these parties, everybody has already taken everything you want to say. It's already been mentioned how meta this cartoon is. Camo mentioned the voice-acting and the attention to detail in the animation. So, I guess I'll just talk for a second about how well this cartoon, along with most other Looney Tunes, take advantage of the world they have built. We know Bugs Bunny is the biggest troll in the world, and we know that Daffy Duck has a short fuse. So in the most brilliant move possible, they give Bugs Bunny full control over Daffy's existence. To me, this is the best concept ever created when it comes to Looney Tunes. It's simple, but very logical. Bugs has manipulated Daffy in every possible way before, but now he literally manipulates Daffy's existence and surroundings. And it's funny.

[Camo]

This was a fantastic HoF, I pretty much loved all of the noms except for one.

Glad you liked it mate, looking forward to yours if you decide to host it :). Thanks for taking part really liked your write ups and enthusiasm, hope you keep checking in to join in on any conversations that might happen :up:

Just a suggestion, i expected gbg to run the next one since she was so interested in joining another one. I was going to suggest to extend this to Tom & Jerry and/or Disney Shorts. Just so there's maybe a bit more participation since some may prefer those classics to Looney Tunes. Obviously it's up to you and you'll have me and gbg joining no matter what. haha

I was actually going to go from Duck Dodgers to Duck Amuck but i left it to later so others would have stuff to say about it before me, since it is obviously one of the most interesting ones whether you like it or not.

Great write up mate. I delebirately left a few remaining things out in case someone else wanted to touch on it and none of them were what you came up with, good original thoughts :up:

I think we are all going to end up saying the same stuff. It would probably be best not to read any other write ups before doing your own so you don't feel as if you need to avoid certain things because they've already been mentioned. They are way too short for that. Every write up is in the second post, i update that whenever i'm on so whenever you've finished one just use that to read the other write ups and discuss, agree/disagree with, whatever.

It's okay with me if Nope wants to run the next Looney Tunes HoF. I've been so busy recently that I was struggling to keep up with running the song tournament, so it may be a while before I have the time to run anything. I may not have the time to join a full movies HoF right now, but I'd definitely join another Looney Tunes and/or classic cartoons HoF. (They're much shorter, so I can usually find time to fit them in.)

Drip Along Daffy

http://i67.tinypic.com/eg4w95.jpg

This was a favourite of mine when i was a kid, i don't like it quite as much now but it is still solid. Love Porky's opening song, "comedy relief" :laugh:. What i like most about this one is the look of the town and the design of the wild west characters. Some of the sign jokes are a bit cringey but i loved Rigor O'Mortis. Porky was good in this well the little we saw of him, i love how they gave him stubble haha, nice touch. The walk toward the shootout scene is excellent love the camera angles. Great ending too, love that Porky gets the glory. While not one of my favourites it is a very funny and entertaining cartoon, good to see it get some recognition by being nomiinated.

Baseball Bugs

http://i66.tinypic.com/rur989.jpg

Nope brought up that this has really repetitive jokes and he's right, but i don't care they still work for me in this every time. As i said to gbg earlier the "your out your safe" kind of joke is used in Looney Tunes quite a bit but i always find it funny. Great cartoon i hadn't seen it in a while so i think i actually enjoyed it more than i usually do this time. It's hard not to find Bugs playing every position while talking like his coach as well hilarious. Bugs in his little scarf and sunhat at the start is one of my favourite looks for him. He is fantastic here, love how cocky he is yet he somehow makes good on his ridiculous boasts and claims.Mel Blanc is amazing here some of his finest work IMO. Love the animation in this particularly Bugs' pitches, amazing movement. Anyway this is a very funny one that i always have a good time with, glad it was nominated again.

I don't mind the repetitive jokes as much as the way everything in this cartoon goes completely against the rules of baseball. As a baseball fan, there's just so much wrong with this cartoon, but as a Looney Tunes fan, it's a great cartoon.

Operation: Rabbit

http://i63.tinypic.com/qnji4l.jpg

Even before i started re watching Looney Tunes cartoons as i got older this one always stuck with me even though i only saw it once as a kid i think. Not because it was a major favourite of mine but because it was the first time i'd ever seen Wile outside of a Road Runner cartoon. I know how stupid it sounds since they had the Merrie Melodies opening but at like 5,6 years old i didn't actually realize that Road Runner and Wile were part of Looney Tunes until i saw this cartoon and later Space Jam. Obviously i've seen others since but those were my first two so this cartoon always stuck with me.

Saying that it is not a favourite of mine, i think it is very good just not one of the best and i personally prefer Hare-Breadth Hurry for Bugs and Wile cartoons. Seeing Wile's design in this and also him talking is still a bit jarring even though this must be the tenth time i've seen this and he also speaks in plenty of other cartoons. I just love the joke of setting up a door outside a rabbit hole, it is just so absurd and it isn't really focused on as if it is something nuts which is the beauty of it. The shoot the rocket down the pipe fail is amazing, i just love how quickly it is done so you don't have a second to think about how it will go wrong. And of course the double fused dynamite. The ending is alright. Anyway not much else to say about this, solid cartoon but not one of my favourites.

[Camo]

Long Haired Hare

http://i63.tinypic.com/33wnnvb.jpg

This is one of my absolute favourites. I don't think there is any short that Bugs is characterized better. Bugs is supposed to be extremely annoying like he becomes here, but he is also supposed to have a reason to be annoying so you root for him. I don't think there's ever been a better non regular character foil to Bugs than this opera singer. This big strong man with a powerful voice being interrupted by a meek, harmless bunny is just the most perfect way for this. It instantly shows the singer as the bad guy when watching it at a young age, but as an adult you feel for him having to deal with someone like Bugs.

While this doesn't boast as good music as What's Opera Doc?/ Rabbit of Seville, it features probably two the best images of anything nominated this time. The singer going red while singing so much and about 90% of Bugs faces and movements when he was directing it.

[Camo]

Just Rabbit Seasoning left for me.

[gbgoodies]

Long Haired Hare

While this is an enjoyable short, it's not one of my favorites. I love that Bugs Bunny is his normal "always comes out on top" type of character, but in this cartoon, IMO, the opera singer got exactly what he deserved. He started the feud with Bugs when he attacked him for simply playing music. He never even asked him to stop or sing quieter.

http://www.movieforums.com/community/attachment.php?attachmentid=26494&stc=1&d=1470198771

And when Bugs Bunny says his famous line "Of course you know, this means war!", we just know that this is where the fun begins. And it's always fun watching Bugs Bunny get his revenge. :)

http://www.movieforums.com/community/attachment.php?attachmentid=26495&stc=1&d=1470198848

A couple of notes:

1) When Bugs Bunny sings the song with the harp, that song reminds me of the Buddy Hackett song "Shipoopi" from the movie The Music Man (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9Jj622vbrrU).

2) When Bugs Bunny walks out as Leopold, he reminds me of Dr. Zorba from the old TV show "Ben Casey".

One Froggy Evening

This is one of my favorite cartoons. I love the way the guy gets what he deserves for being greedy, and how the cartoon comes full circle at the end. The one question that's always kind of bugged me about this cartoon is, how does Michigan J. Frog live so long? Shouldn't he have died in that box a long time ago? :confused:

http://www.movieforums.com/community/attachment.php?attachmentid=26498&stc=1&d=1470199769

I love that he sings a bunch of different songs, instead of the same song every time. It keeps the cartoon interesting instead of it getting repetitive. I love that the timing when he finishes his song is perfect every time. And it has a terrific ending. This cartoon is pure genius. :)

Operation: Rabbit

This is another cartoon that's a great cartoon, but it's not one of my favorites. While I love the back and forth between Wile E. Coyote and Bugs Bunny, I prefer the cartoons when Wile E. Coyote goes up against the Road Runner. I also prefer when he holds up signs, rather than when he speaks. (Although I love when he calls himself "Super Genius".)

http://www.movieforums.com/community/attachment.php?attachmentid=26499&stc=1&d=1470201637

I like that Wile E. Coyote comes up with his own plans in this, and causes his own destruction, rather than buying stuff from ACME. The ACME stuff never worked properly anyway, so I never understood why he kept going back and buying from the same company. :confused: (Yes, there's that real world logic again. :lol: )

Rabbit Seasoning

http://i63.tinypic.com/wbvrk9.jpg

I love the Hunting Trilogy as a whole so i find it pretty weird to just judge one of them. In the end i decided to only watch Rabbit Season because i think if i was to watch them all the others would factor into my rating when it was only the one nominated. Saying that it doesn't really matter anyway as this is probably the best one.

http://i63.tinypic.com/2eq8dc7.jpg

We have the usual cocky, always wins and outsmarts everyone Bugs here, some of his best stuff is shown here. Here comes that joke we were discussing earlier of Bugs tricking a character into saying something. The second one with Daffy demanding to be shot now leads to one of the most classic images of this era; Daffy's mangled face after being shot. Like we were discussing earlier this is also a pretty repetitive episode, just as if not more so than Baseball Bugs. Not that i'm complaining i could never get tired of Bugs outwitting Daffy. Daffy going nuts over Elmer not killing Bugs is brilliant, i love how Daffy could've easily have run off after setting up the signs. Not to use gbg real world logic here :p, but it always bothered me as a kid why he didn't just leave. Why did Daffy want Bugs dead so much? Did he not think that Elmer might just kill both of them regardless of the season? haha I so love when Daffy looks out of the hole and gets shot. That was another thing that annoyed me as a kid. Why on earth did Daffy willingly look out the hole for Bugs, he wasn't even tricked he just did what Bugs said? haha Love the nonsensical ending of Daffy going home with Elmer.

Brilliant cartoon.

[Camo]

So that's me done then, i'm going to send myself a PM with my list haha. Got mine, Mushrooms and Nope's lists. gbg is finished she just has three writeups to do. Topsy said she'll do the writeups when she is finished so she can compare them and i'm sure JJ will finish when he's ready.

OPERATION: BUNNY
https://animationreview.files.wordpress.com/2013/07/operation-rabbit.png

I like that a cartoon of Wile E.Coyote has been nominated!
Im not really a fan of his voice though to be honest-i dont think its suits him very well,i would prefer something darker and scarier-but i like the way he keeps saying genius :lol:
I also have to give credit for the different ways the writer comes up with them hurting eachother,thats not easy seeing how many different ways they used just in one 7minutes episode :lol: Bugs Bunny can be a bit too cocky for me at times,to the point where i wish the other had gotten him,but they played it off "right" this time-also,and im sure im alone on this,but i dont always love the older drawings of Bugs but he looked good here.
My favourite part,that had me laughing out loud,was when he put the pipes down the rabbit hole and fired a canon which came back to him! its not my favourite but i still enjoyed it very much

LONG HAIRED HARE
http://artifactsgallery.com/art/14589.jpg

Poor ol`Giovanni :lol: I really like the opening,because I too got annoyed by the interruption of Bugs singing-I could feel his anger :lol: I would have liked Giovanni to be a bit smarter or devious about his ways to make him stop though.
I always love when they dress Bugs up,he actually looks good as a girl! But my favourite part was both the reaction to "Leopold" and when he started directing-when he controlled the audience specifically was my favourite. Its funny how they always walk so leaned forward in every older cartoon-like when Gionvanni walks on stage.
Another great nomination

RABBIT SEASONING
https://i.ytimg.com/vi/UNETiaGVBoE/hqdefault.jpg

I genuinely think Daffy Duck is so underrated! After this HoF he is my second favourite,right behind Sylvester who i love for more nostalgic reasons as i was obsessed with him when I was younger-and he is definitly the funniest Looney Toon- The first "SHOOT HIM NOW,SHOOT HIM NOW" cracked me up-also the cocky "meh" before getting shot right after :lol: The play on words is hilarious and well written- "is he still there?" - still lurking about" had me on the floor.Bugs Bunny was being as smartass as always,but in a funny way! Also Daffy has my favourite voice dubbing or what to call it,the most lively,charasmatic and "into" it.This episode definitly has a spot on my favourites list

[jiraffejustin]

Rabbit Seasoning

http://s1.dmcdn.net/Yu72.jpg

The Hunting trilogy has always felt like the "Greatest Hits" album for Looney Tunes. The "pronoun problems" gag. The gunshot/explosion face rearrangement of poor Daffy. The Bugs dressed as a woman gag. All the hits are here. While not quite as creative as Duck Dodgers or Duck Amuck, it is infinitely endearing and classic. And the ending is one of my favorites of all the Looney Tunes catalog.

http://thumbs.media.smithsonianmag.com//filer/20120404040041Baseball_Bugs_thumb.jpg__800x600_q85_crop.jpg

This is the Bugs Bunny that i dont like lookwise,im not really a fan of the way hes drawn.
Ive said that i think Bugs can be TOO much of a smartass sometimes,but i here it fits- I thought his dialogue when pitching and recieving was funny. I dont really have alot to say about this episode,i thought it was okay- my favourite part when he showed up inside the guys suit.But it doesnt really stand out to me,the play on words is often used,and is his part of his trademark but has been done better in other episodes i think.

Furthering my love for Daffy...he might just take over Sylvesters spot!
This episode is pretty much flawless-so creative,the drawing,the setting,the humour.
I loved the look of the building at the start-i loved how he teleported and the look the machine he was in! i want one of those. Also-unfortunatly i can relate to the classic "put in reverse" joke :lol:
The emergency answer bullet,and then him getting shot,the alphabetic planets,the evaporating gun that evaporates-all hilarious. Again I think the voice over for Daffy is just marvelous.
The way he says : "CENTERY" cracks me up!

ONE FROGGY EVENING
http://www.cartoonbrew.com/wp-content/uploads/froogynotes.jpg

I have never seen this before-it seems like something they would play during christmas because of it being older and has a bit of nostalgia to it.I feel bad for the old man-not just is he admitted but to a "PSYCOPATHIC HOSPITAL" none the less . I love how it sounds "old" and i really like the songs he sings,the voice fits the character-i noticed though that they never bring the letter that is put with him yet its still there when delivered to the next guy.
I thought it was too short,which is a good thing because i would love to see more

[Topsy]

RABBIT OF SEVILLE
https://media.giphy.com/media/tUJxFgCEMYnVS/giphy.gif

I loved that they were "trapped" on a stage,thats just perfect for a loony tunes episode. And ive got to say that even though Bugs do some terrible things to the hunter,he also does some rather nice things: he got a head massage,pedicure,facial and even grew out some hair! I thought they could play a bit more on his beard and hair growing though
I didnt love all of the drawing,but it was okay-and i thought Bugs singing voice was a bit annoying hah :lol:
and say,did they just get married? i loved that part,the ending with Bugs carrying him over the threshold before dropping him on the wedding cake was a perfect ending.

[Topsy]

DRIP ALONG DAFFY
http://www.ciakhollywood.com/cartoons/drip-alongdaffy/1.jpg

Deciding who gets the top spot on this list is going to be very difficult.
Another one I absolutely loved.From the get go with the song,and Daffy on his marvelous horse who should be in a loreal commercial to Porky on his tiny horse and the countdown on the sign :lol:
Again,i love the way Daffy talks,and watching him trying to walk in those pants! The drink part was hilarious aswell as Daffy climbing up the villains shirt to talk to him.The writing was creative and funny,the drawing was great as was the setting.And the ending was perfect.

THE SCARLET PUMPERNICKEL
http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/looneytunes/images/9/9a/The_Scarlet_Pumpernickel/revision/latest?cb=20140921012701

Loved this alternate universe,and that so many were in it-it was also really nice to see a romantic storyline.
Come to think of it,there really are few female characters in the loony tunes universe,no wonder the hunter and Bugs got married :lol:
I loved when Daffy jumped out the window and missed the horse!
I didnt like the ending though,they should rather have finished the story in the alternate universe,i would have liked to see that,also some of the jokes seemed a bit repetitive,like after he missed the horse there were several of him hitting the wall,they seemed to come all at once.
Id love to see more episodes like this though!

[Topsy]

so thats it for me i think.After seeing all the nominations i wish i had picked my own more carefully
i chose this sylvester clip because he was a favourite of mine,that particulary clip made the kids i used to babysit laugh alot so it holds some good memories,the second one i chose was because of the referance to movies and such-i still like them both but i dont think they hold up well against the others.

its been great fun though.
Bit off topic,but does anyone here play looney tunes sprint/dash? its my favourite app!

[Camo]

You not writing up your own two? You don't need to but i was going to use the blurb for the reveal.

[Topsy]

I can write up my own aswell sure!

**i have an electrician coming over in a bit so im going to have to do it later tonight :)

[Camo]

Do it whenever you want/can Topsy. It was just a suggestion for the reveal.

[Camo]

gbg sent her list in. Topsy has finished but hasn't sent me her list yet, just JJ left. No rush mate just letting everybody know where we're at.

[Friendly Mushroom!]

I will do those writeups eventually.

[Topsy]

putting them in order was harder than i thought!

[Camo]

You know you haven't sent me your list right?

[Topsy]

yes,im working on putting them in order as we speak.actually ive been doing it all day but keep changing my mind and have had to rewatch a few. :lol:

[Camo]

haha. Cool, the way you said that i thought that you thought you had sent it already.

The results are slightly surprising to me so far, the last two lists could still really shake things up so i'm looking forward to receiving them.

[Camo]

Forgot to say that Topsy sent her list so we are only waiting on JJ's.

[Friendly Mushroom!]

Here are two write ups. I will do the rest tomorrow as it is late.

Rabbit Seasoning

I didn't like the hunting trilogy when I was very young. Though I grew to appreciate them more as I got order, especially the last one Duck Rabbit Duck, I still consider this one very average. JJ in this thread said

The Hunting trilogy has always felt like the "Greatest Hits" album for Looney Tunes. The "pronoun problems" gag. The gunshot/explosion face rearrangement of poor Daffy. The Bugs dressed as a woman gag. All the hits are here.

My problem with this one in the trilogy (and Rabbit Fire) is that though the gags are great, the short focuses too much on the gags rather than the context of the gags; and the gags are gags found in most other Looney Tune Shorts, as evidenced by JJ's quote. This does not by all means mean Rabbit Seasoning is bad; it just means I don't find the short gold standard Looney Tunes the way others do.

The Scarlet Pumpernickel (Spoilers)

I completely forgot about this short as time went on. I didn't even remember if I considered it good or not. When I finished viewing The Scarlet Pumpernickel for this HoF, I got mad at myself for not remembering it as a kid. This was gold standard Looney Tunes in my eyes.

This is a satire on Daffy's ego, and because the short is a frame story Daffy himself created, it has him victorious (though he still gets into weird hiccups, That's funny - that never happens to Errol Flynn) and it's hilarious.

Despite Daffy's victories in his frame story, he killed himself at the end realizing he put himself in a creative hole of crap. On that subject, it is hilarious the screenplay Daffy wrote was that long, and for some reason, he wrote it in first grade picture book prose rather than an actual screenplay. He pretty much wrote a stereotypically bad doorstopper fantasy (though Daffy's tale was not fantasy) decades before they became popular. :p

[Camo]

This does not by all means mean Rabbit Seasoning is bad; it just means I don't find the short gold standard Looney Tunes the way others do.


I don't think JJ meant it is full of gags seen elsewhere (correct me if i'm wrong) i think he meant that a lot of the most famous images from Looney Tunes are from that short and if he did i completely agree. Plus i think the context of this being the first time any of these appeared (particularly the way they were done, of course Daffy being injured or manipulated by Bugs was done earlier but this particular style of gag largely originated here) before later shorts imitated this needs to be taken into consideration.

I completely forgot about this short as time went on. I didn't even remember if I considered it good or not. When I finished viewing The Scarlet Pumpernickel for this HoF, I got mad at myself for not remembering it as a kid. This was gold standard Looney Tunes in my eyes.

:up: Don't know if you saw it but i explained that i nominated this because i hadn't seen it in years and that it is one of the most praised shorts that i rarely see mentioned. While i don't think it is top five material like it is often ranked i do think it is fantastic and i'm glad i chose instead of something like What's Opera Doc? that everyone has seen multiple times.

[jiraffejustin]

Drip-Along Daffy

Daffy can't even catch a break when he's the good guy.

I nominated this short because I've been really into westerns recently. I just wanted to nominate something that kinda shows where my head has been. Plus this is a really good representation of the western genre. It's a total lampoon, but it hits just about every major point every other western hits. From the opening musical number to the crafty victory from the supposedly over-matched lawmen. Perhaps the only western parody to do it better is Blazing Saddles, and Blazing Saddles owes a lot to the Looney Tunes.

[jiraffejustin]

The Scarlet Pumpernickel

Another great example of good guy Daffy not catching a break.

I am finding that I love, love, love all the shorts where Daffy is the protagonist. They seem to buck formula, and that creativity is where I find my joy in them. We all know that Daffy usually walks his way into trouble, but there is usually a Bugs Bunny to help him get there (or sometimes Marvin). This time, Daffy does it all by himself, and all he wanted was a picture that wasn't the same thing he always did. And he succeeded, because this is another very unique Daffy film. And it's a very smart one as well, which is not surprising, because most Looney Tunes are. But in this case, it's the inside jokes about Errol Flynn and J.L. Warner not satisfied with the ending, wanting them bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger.

[Camo]

I love ones with Daffy as the protagonist as well.

[jiraffejustin]

Rabbit of Seville

Maybe it sounds a little pretentious to say, but I have always thought of Looney Tunes as being more cultured than most other animation or programming aimed at children. Silly songs might not seem like the most cultured thing in the world, but when is the last time you saw a proper and decent spoof of something like The Barber of Seville? And on top of that, was it a cartoon? Probably not, but that's why these cartoons are so good. You don't actually have to have any knowledge of the Barber of Seville to love it, but if you do, then you appreciate it even more. And the music is suitably very good in this short.

[jiraffejustin]

Baseball Bugs

We have some typical Looney Tunes fare with the out/safe joke, but it's the smaller gags that get me with this short. When the guy on the other team repeats "I got it" only to be blasted with the ball and driven into his outfield grave with a tombstone reading "He got it!", I knew that I was watching a classic. It's that type of silliness and whimsy that I love about Looney Tunes. And I love the depiction of the baseball players being big dumb dummies. :D

[Nope1172]

Is everyone done except for JJ?

Pappys Puppy
Poor ol`Sylvester can never catch a break lol.
Sylvester is my favourite Looney Tune,im sad there werent more nominations of him. And him being my favourite is the reason why i nominated this one,along with some nostalgia from when i was babysitting when i was younger and the kids would laugh so much of this clip-Especially the part where Pappy gets his revenge. I really like the part where the puppy relentlessly jumps on him and Sylvester just pulls him off,annoying as a mosquito!Also Pappy smoking and stressing out before being presented with his newborn (where is mom?)My favourite part though is him throwing the log into the highway before getting caught by pappy and having to go get it himself,and trying to knock of the log (?whats it called) before getting blowed up :lol: :lol:

[Topsy]

Is everyone done except for JJ?

i have one of my own left. I think friendly has some left aswell as JJ :)

[jiraffejustin]

Long-Haired Hare

Going into this one, I didn't have much prior knowledge. I think I saw it when I was a child, but I don't have the most vivid memories of it. So, that in itself is already an exciting prospect for me. Then we get Bugs Bunny playing a Banjo. I'm already hooked. The "guest-villain" of the short is perfect as Camo mentioned, so I won't go further into that. The rest of the short is just Bugs messing with him, which is a familiar formula. But just because it's formulaic, that doesn't mean the formula isn't worth repeating. When Bugs starts directing the opera, it's one of the best sequences involving music in Looney Tunes history.

[jiraffejustin]

One Froggy Evening

It's incredibly iconic. Incredibly whimsical. Enjoyably musical. Fantastic full-circle ending. Silly, funny, and worthy of any and all praise that it receives. This is easily a top ten Looney Tunes short of all-time. It will place very well for me.

[Camo]

:up:. Looking forward to your list JJ. Since there's only six of us and twelve different shorts a few of them are bundled close together, so yeah you decide some of their fates.

[gbgoodies]

I already sent in my list, but I still have three write-ups left. I still have some other stuff to catch up on, and it's been a very long day for me, so I'll try to do those tomorrow.

[Nope1172]

I'm really considering making a "Tune of the Week" thread. Would anyone else be down?

[jiraffejustin]

Operation Rabbit

I've always loved the Wile E. Coyote cartoons, whether it be with Bugs or the Road Runner. Even if the formula is always the same, it doesn't matter because it's always interesting to see which silly ideas Wile E. the genius comes up with. Operation Rabbit is pretty good, but it's not in the same league as some of the other similar cartoons. But it's never anything less than enjoyable, and I could watch this type of cartoon all day long. I don't think it'll place well on my list, but that's not to say I don't like it.

[jiraffejustin]

Carrotblanca

A good idea, but it probably would have been better if they made it 40 years earlier. The voice acting was pretty grating. The difference between Mel Blanc and this cast is about as far as it gets. And the jokes and gags all miss the mark. The parody isn't of Casablanca, it's of the Looney Tunes.

They should have just let sleeping Tunes lie, because this just doesn't compare to Chuck Jones, Friz Freleng, and Tex Avery.

[Camo]

The parody isn't of Casablanca, it's of the Looney Tunes.

Yeah, that's it completely :up:

[Camo]

Two more from Justin and i'll do the reveal. Can't wait.

[jiraffejustin]

Just one more. You missed my Baseball Bugs post a page or so back.

[jiraffejustin]

Pappy's Puppy

Smoking cigs in a cartoon. Plus points just for nostalgia in that regard, because they were still showing that on tv when I was a youngster. I've mentioned formula a lot in this thread, and said it's okay when the formula is a good one. This formula is the "Sylvester gets his ass kicked by the bulldog" formula, and it works. I've seen better versions of this same thing, but that dadgum puppy is adorable. The dynamite tug-of-war is a great gag too. As is the shotgun gag. That ending is pretty cute too. I'd say this short is cuter than it is good, but that's not really a bad thing. It's nice to see every now and then.

[Camo]

JJ sent me his list. I'm going to PM you all asking when you'll be ready for the reveal because i'd like us all to be here :).

[jiraffejustin]

Now that we are done waiting for me, we wait for Camo. :D

EDIT: Nope. We are actually waiting on all of YOU.

[Camo]

I want to wait for gbg and Topsy at least to be here. They've contributed to this too much to ignore them.

This is actually the only one i hadn't already seen. I'm really not a fan of the animation from this era but this particular cartoon was better than the norm thankfully. Still the animation from this time was a bit too "perfect", it doesn't have the flawed charm of the 40s, 50s, cartoons and thus doesn't come out as expressive and interesting. Bugs was pretty good in this but i wasn't crazy about the others, particularly Tweety and her? his? awkward Peter Lorre impression. As i was saying about the animation not being as expressive i thought that was particularly evident in the transition of Tweeties face into Peter Lorre's, something that was one of the best things about the old Looney Tunes shorts, it was so seemless and had lots of character. And oh man Yosemite Sam's voice was horrible, really turned me off of his scenes. Daffy wasn't that bad but i didn't really like his jokes. Anyway no point in continuing to be negative, the best thing about the short was easily Bugs flashback IMO.

Decent nom Topsy but my bias towards the classic era and Mel Blanc who i think would have did a better job with the impressions. Sorry for being a bit hard on it Topsy, i at least really like your other nom and am looking forward to seeing it again.

11.Pappy's Puppy (24 points)

http://i64.tinypic.com/2vn0vlv.jpg

I was very glad to see some Sylvester the Cat nominated, as he is one of my favorite characters. This was another one of the nominations I had not previously seen, and I really enjoyed it. Something I really liked about this cartoon, along with many other Sylvester cartoons, is just how brutal and twisted it was. Sylvester no only attempts to murder an innocent puppy with a shotgun, but he also throws a stick into the middle of a busy street in with the hopes the pup will get hit by a car trying to retrieve it. Its so twisted, and I love it. One of the other things I love about Sylvester is that he's the bad guy. In no way is Butch the Bulldog in the wrong, he's just protecting his child from a psychopathic murderous maniac. This is why I prefer Sylvester's standalone cartoons much more than his Tweety Bird ones. Anyways, I love me some good Sylvester, and this was honestly one of his best.

My apologies. I asked for you to write these two up, that's fine that you didn't, the only two that did was me and Nope, i used one from him and one from me if that's OK, Topsy.

09.Baseball Bugs (26 Points)

This is episode does many things right. The gags are classic and very funny. One thing I noticed when I rewatched this is that Bugs is kind of an underdog in this. He was the only person in the audience to boo at the antagonistic team and the team consisted of touch and serious jerks versus the stupid Nazis, Daffy and Elmer Fudd Bugs usually outsmarts. Overall a great Looney Tune and among my favorites.

07.The Scarlet Pumpernickel (36 points)

http://i63.tinypic.com/2vabgy9.jpg

One of my nominations. I love this of course but it isn't actually one of my absolute favourites. I mostly nominated it because i feel it is one of the most well regarded classics that is mentioned the least so i was curious what everyone thought of it.

Weird thing to point out but i think this may have my favourite title picture, with the dark castle. Yet again the animation is fantastic, love the use of dark shadows not the most common thing in a Looney Tunes cartoon. Daffy's sneezing scene, him crashing through the wall and the ride towards the castle were done particularly well. The sword fight and everything that follows is of course classic Looney Tunes greatness, love the movement, extremely well directed. I really like how Daffy is the valiant, mosyly competent hero (more than usual anyway) but they avoid compromising his usual characterization by having it as Daffy reading a story, basically giving a glimpse of how he sees himself versus how he actually is. Very smart move as Daffy of course can't win in reality, shows how well written these cartoons were that they go out of their way to keep the characterization consistent, really gives an impression that the writers cared.

[Camo]

I actually had Long Haired Hare higher than Scarlet even though i nominated the latter.

I didn't get a chance to do write-ups for these two, but I'm not surprised that they were this low.

I thought the problem with Carrotblanca is that it tried too hard to be both the classic movie and the classic characters, but it failed at both. The characters didn't feel like either the movie characters or the Looney Tunes characters.

On the other hand, Pappy's Puppy was a fun cartoon, it just paled in comparison to some of the others that were nominated. It also felt a little bit like a Tom & Jerry cartoon, rather than a Looney Tunes cartoon due to the way Sylvester was getting beaten up by the big dog.
