Cartoon Discussion of the Week-March 17th/18th 2012-The Wearing of the Grin

[Looney Tunes Fan]

Sorry I didn't post this one earlier. I have many projects that i work on over the weekend and I sometimes forget to post a new CDOTW. Anyway, for today's CDOTW, i have for you a short that fits the topic of St. Patrick's Day. It's the Looney Tunes short, The Wearing of the Grin! Here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QjzNZoPEfb4 Discuss the short here and happy St. Patrick's Day! (Yeah, I know St. Patrick's Day has passed, but we can still think it is today though. )

This cartoon is one where one of the voices frequent is misidentified. It's the leprechaun not voiced by Mel Blanc. At least one reference book, "The Animation Film Encyclopedia" by Graham Webb, identifies a radio announcer Pat McGeehan but it's John Smith, whose best work is the Chow Hound of the title cartoon-- as in, "Where's the Gravy?".Trippy and nighhtmarish final solo Porky Pig cartoon.

I like how the scene where Porky Pig jumps into the bed and falls down that long tube, is animated.

I've never liked this one. I've always found it quite tedious.

And to this day I always STILL wonder if it was just a dream or not! [GAC had a thread on that very topic..]

BTW hello, Green Kitten, sorry if you didn't liked this, nhope you like the other WB shorts and have a fun time here on the IAD board. BTW Tedious? Nightmarish...surreall..tedious isn't a term I've quite associated with this one [though director Chuck Jones HAS been understandably been acussed of being rather tedious with early SNiffles and some other of his very early shorts. I've though more of the early MGM Hamran-Isings as being tedious, but back to the Porky short: The leprachuans's sequence with various dreamlike/nightmairsh scens with Porky are quite surreslistic and take a lot of effects animaiton talent [no credit for such, but would be Harry Love by now, wouldn't be A.C.Gamer.] PS Green Kitten, glad you picked a cartooon with the same color as part of your username.
