For part three of this series showcasing rare Warner Bros. art that has surfaced recently, let's take a look at some cels. These are highly sought after by collectors, and for the most part, very rare. Cels are inked and painted on sheets of clear plastic, called celluloid, traced from the animator's drawings. The inking is done on the front, while the paint is applied on the back, allowing for the cleanest lines possible. The cels are then laid over the background and shot frame by frame under the camera. The reason for their rarity is twofold: at the time, they were thought to be useless after a cartoon was made. With thousands needed for one 7-minute film, purchasing the amount of celluloid needed was expensive, and to save money, they were wiped clean and reused. Several Golden Age animators, notably Chuck Jones, got their start at various studios as cel washers.<br />
<br />
The cels that still exist today were saved by the animators and producers themselves, often given away as gifts and promotional material. The Disney studio, for example, would offer them for cheap sale at Disneyland. Leon Schlesinger signed them and gave them out. Tex Avery recalled giving cels to local kids. Mel Blanc used them to sign autographs. As evidenced by a couple of the cels I'm presenting here, animator Virgil Ross would sign them and give them as gifts. So they ARE out there, and while they fetch thousands of dollars on the collectors' market today, they're an incredible glimpse into the history of animation...and thankfully, photos of them on the internet don't cost a dime!<br />

* Confirming my suspicion is cartoon expert Chase Pritchard, who identified this cel as being from "Rushing Roulette", a Robert McKimson cartoon from 1965. Here's a frame from the actual cartoon to prove it. Good eye, Chase! (the background, on the other hand, is definitely from a '50's Jones effort.</div>

Production Art, Part Two: DrawingsAs a followup to my<a href="http://toolooney.blogspot.com/2014/06/warner-bros-production-art-part-one.html"> last post,</a> Here are some rare animation drawings that have surfaced online for auction recently. These are actual drawings used in the making of the cartoons, before they were traced onto cels. I've also included some drawings that were concept sketches, and one that was drawn for a theatrical lobby card.<br />

Production Art, Part One: BackgroundsWe haven't updated this blog for quite a while, but there really hasn't been much worth mentioning to share with you. Well, I think this will make up for that.<br />
<br />
There has been a flood of original Warner Bros. cartoon production art turning up on auction sites lately. These one-of-a-kind pieces generally fetch thousands of dollars when sold and are prized by collectors, but their value to historians and fans is immeasurable. I don't have the deep pockets to purchase even a single one, but I can save a photo to my hard drive! Here is part one in a series of posts that will share some of these gems for internet posterity.<br />
<br />
Let's start with a few backgrounds.<br />
<br />
These beautifully rendered paintings were usually on screen in a film for only a few seconds, with the actual animation laid over them on clear cels for filming. Some were wider or taller than the standard frame size, so that the camera could perform the illusion of a pan shot, or depict a character covering a large amount of ground in a short time. <br />

Just a quick post to show off a recent flea market find, this 1971 thermos of Bugs, Yosemite Sam and Elmer (all three sides shown in the picture below). A pretty nice piece to add to the old Looney Tunes shelf. You don't run across vintage thermos bottles like these very often.</div>

I've seen cels like the one above showing Daffy dancing with Porky pop up on various animation art dealer websites for years now, but was never quite sure where this scene originated. Thanks to YouTube, it appears it came from the opening to an Italian compilation television program titled <i>Warner Show</i>. The intro below suggests the show showcased the Looney Tunes and other popular WB animated shows of the day (Tiny Toons, Taz-Mania, Animaniacs).<P>

Studio Store in New York City. It was also shown at Six Flags theme parks and in limited theatrical presentation. While animated films in 3D are the norm now, it was a landmark then. <br /><br />Unseen for many years since, it recently turned up on the Looney Tunes Platinum Blu-Ray release. Directed by Doug McCarthy and voiced by Joe Alaskey, the film features Daffy Duck as an actor playing hero Duck Dodgers. Marvin mistakes Daffy's overacting for a legitimate threat and brings him to Mars. It's not great, but it is a rarity, and worthy of mention and viewing here!<br /><br /><object width="420" height="315"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/meZDEjhV7rE?version=3&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/meZDEjhV7rE?version=3&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="420" height="315" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object>Matthew Hunterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17606351469891003921noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5052525513598295339.post-73828314749460860752012-07-14T11:44:00.002-07:002012-07-14T11:45:40.968-07:00That's all, Folks!From 1952, here's Bonnie Baker and Mel Blanc on Capitol Records performing "That's all, Folks!"... you can probably guess who Mel plays.<br />

Welcome back to Misce-Looney-ous after (another) extended hiatus. Today we have dug up a commercial from 1993 for a series of Looney Tunes Happy Meal cars from McDonald's. The set of four featured Bugs, Daffy, Taz and Porky... who, for unknown reasons, drove a ghostbusting van with a pop-up ghost inside.<br />

Just a quick post to plug a new blog by Misce-Looney-ous' Matt Hunter which is devoted to classic and not-so-classic comics starring the Looney Tunes gang. Be sure to check it out:<br />

Now here's a real rarity (via David Gerstein on Facebook). The site QuispQuake Reaction has posted a promotional Christmas record for Capitol Records featuring Tweety and Sylvester (voiced by Mel Blanc) teaming up with radio personality, Baby Snooks. This short record concludes with our favorite cat and canary singing a duet of "Jingle Bells".<br />

This is a set of Looney Tunes stickers from 1993 that broke the trend of using stock clip art and actually seems to have taken poses from the actual cartoons. If you grew up in the 90's, chances are you or someone at your school had these plastered on binders and other stuff. They were everywhere!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjA6So_NrI34tQ4AOBjjsK6skr3bgGtDbknucqjmZDo93RwaB86PU7GFSqxFyVNyAj7Gl7VW1ezzUh7bwTZnLyOD1HsS8iJw_2fnF2TI0Wyys5rlb_MkeBAoiozw70iut5EdRHrU-sz0tA/s1600/ltstickerset.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 321px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjA6So_NrI34tQ4AOBjjsK6skr3bgGtDbknucqjmZDo93RwaB86PU7GFSqxFyVNyAj7Gl7VW1ezzUh7bwTZnLyOD1HsS8iJw_2fnF2TI0Wyys5rlb_MkeBAoiozw70iut5EdRHrU-sz0tA/s400/ltstickerset.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5675797666457284066" /></a>Matthew Hunterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17606351469891003921noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5052525513598295339.post-86965140181948947862011-11-11T16:22:00.000-08:002011-11-11T16:41:07.994-08:00Return of the Revenge of the Sequel to the Looney Tunes Commercials!Guess what we found? That's right folks, more Looney Tunes commercials! And wouldn't you know it...one of 'em's got Wile E. Coyote in it! <br /><br />First up, a 1993 British commercial for Walker's Looney Tunes chips. Wile E., via footage from "Zipping Along", tries the "induce a person to jump off a cliff" hypnotism bit on comedian Greg Proops.<br /><iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/yhHfeisNPZ0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br /><br />And, another Walker's LT tie-in, presumably made around the time of "Space Jam":<br /><iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/iAB-zHpcmag" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br /><br />Next, a "blooper" segment featuring Foghorn Leghorn. Not sure where it came from, presumably Cartoon Network.<br /><iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/obcHPoJuO_k" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br /><br />Finally, a 1977 commercial for LT Pepsi glasses at Hardee's restaurants.<br /><iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/4zHQpU64tSg" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>Matthew Hunterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17606351469891003921noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5052525513598295339.post-16884908057301615192011-11-09T20:15:00.000-08:002011-11-09T20:32:26.677-08:00Joe Alaskey's Carnival of the AnimalsMost Looney Tunes fans are familiar with Chuck Jones' 1976 TV special "Bugs and Daffy's Carnival of the Animals". It combined the orchestral music of Camille Saint-Saƫns and the poetry of Ogden Nash with animation of Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck, as well as abstract animated musical segments. <br /><br />It seems there was another "Looney" interpretation of "Carnival", done as a live performance with the West Coast Symphony in 2004. Joe Alaskey performed introductions to the musical pieces as Daffy Duck, Bugs Bunny, Marvin the Martian and Yosemite Sam. Someone recorded it (or at least most of it), and it's a real gem. <br /><br /><iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/yAFoJOTECis" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>Matthew Hunterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17606351469891003921noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5052525513598295339.post-28821555457832728462011-10-27T15:18:00.000-07:002011-10-27T15:24:54.878-07:00An Ounce of PreventionThe following public service announcements were a regular sight during kid shows' commercial breaks on local stations throughout the 1980s and well into the 1990s. In the clips below, Bugs tells us of the dangers lurking in the kitchen, from pots of boiling water to dangling power cords; Daffy gives two kids a "burn-prevention quiz"; and Tweety reveals how the bathroom could be the most dangerous room in the house. These spots were actually excerpts taken from a 22 minute film made for the Shriners Burns Institute in 1982 called "An Ounce of Prevention". The new animation was produced by Hal Geer and directed by Gerry Chiniquy.<br /><br /><iframe width="480" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/3ut4C_MOmsc" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br /><br /><iframe width="480" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Ush0drT7mxQ" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br /><br /><iframe width="480" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/IErCqN_ldwI" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>Jon Cookehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11420721141591983997noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5052525513598295339.post-57081141956468781912011-10-22T14:36:00.000-07:002011-10-22T14:43:46.571-07:00Don't collect Looney Tunes stuff for over twenty years...or THIS might happen!I have a lot of Looney Tunes stuff. Much of it has been featured here before...but I thought it might be fun to round up a whole bunch of it and make a cool still life photo. It doesn't seem like much when it's scattered around on various shelves, in cabinets, boxes, drawers, etc...but put it all together, and it's a Misce-Looney-Ous explosion!

That means you'll be hearing a lot more of me talking over cartoons! <br /><br />Here's the latest: "Cats and Bruises" (1965). <br /><br /><iframe frameborder="0" width="480" height="360" src="http://www.dailymotion.com/embed/video/xlp63r"></iframe><br /><a href="http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xlp63r_cats-and-bruises-1965-commentary_shortfilms" target="_blank">"Cats and Bruises" (1965) Commentary</a> <i>by <a href="http://www.dailymotion.com/MatthewHunter" target="_blank">MatthewHunter</a></i>Matthew Hunterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17606351469891003921noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5052525513598295339.post-44671960911235991362011-10-14T16:51:00.000-07:002011-10-14T17:07:34.315-07:00Zazzle All, Folks!If you haven't checked out the <a href="http://www.zazzle.com/looneytunes">Looney Tunes page at Zazzle.com</a>, you're in for a treat.
