I Wanted Something More Life Threatening

For one thing, I love the absurd. Absurdity is the greatest tool for crafting fine comedy and humor. Having a mouse dropping a battleship on a cat is absurd, yet laughable. So, if you take madness to the top level, you'll get something that will instantly hook me. And that little something is call Sam And Max Freelance Police. The show was a cartoon in the 1990s that had more zaniness than Looney Tunes. I give you the basis of one episode: A monster in a fridge is terrorizing a geek, so she calls on Sam and Max. They get sucked into an alternate dimension of ice and snow, and find three fridge repairmen. Together they capture the monster (Which is a mutated t.v. dinner) and eat it. now tell me if that's not absolutely insane. Well, Sam And Max is truly a work of genius. It combines absurdity with humor and random phrases. Not only was the show a big hit, but ten years later, they made a game about it. Those games must be downloaded to play, but they are fun. My only problem is that totally new voice actor play the roles. Harvey Atkin and Robert Tinkler did great jobs as Sam and Max respectively. Oh well, nothing is perfect. So anyway, I'm giving Sam and Max a 4.5 out of 5, for crazy fun and hilarious randomness.

Your Tobacco Taste Differently

It's time for another Controversial Cartoon Day. In the past I did a short that was an anti-Nazi propaganda. I eventually found out that there are dozens of more anti-Nazi cartoons made by Disney and Warner Brothers. So since that time I watched a Disney one, now I'm gonna watch a Warner Brothers one. The cartoon is called Herr Meets Hare, where Bugs Bunny goes to Germany. He winds up becoming the target of a German hunting boy who tries to catch him for Hitler. I believe the cartoon is controversial due to the insults of German people. Bugs only escapes the boy constantly due to the boy's stupidity. I mean, Bugs even dresses as Adolf to fool the hunter. But eventually the hunter catches the bunny and brings him to Hitler. I'm serious, Hitler makes a showing himself. But for a mysterious reason, both of the Germans run off screaming. You see, it turns out that Bugs has dressed as Joseph Stalin to fool them. The short ends with the Stalin Bugs smoking a pipe and complaining about German tobacco. Where do I begin with this cartoon? It's rude to Germans, has Bugs smoking in it, and just isn't Looney Tunes. So, I'm just going to give it 3 out of 5, since it wasn't really half bad.

Oh, And I'm Not?

It's finally time for the final toon on Cartoon Corner's Top Ten Favorite Tiny Toons Characters list. I've gone from coyotes to skunks to bunnies. It's been a lot of work, but it's about to be over. For my Number 1 toon, I have chosen Babs Bunny! Come on, why would she not be a perfect choice? I said before that Buster Bunny is very funny, but Babs pulls off the insane act. Babs is brilliantly played by Tress MacNeille, the voice of Dot on Animaniacs. The bunny does great impressions of many people, and is truly insane. She'll destroy a dam just to wet her enemies. Now, she also does the thing that freaked me out about Buster. Babs cross dresses too! Of course they always have reasons, but I believe they're actually excuses. Though the fact is disturbing, seeing her cross dress isn't as freaky as seeing Buster. I don't know why, but seeing her cross dress is a lot easier to swallow. Perhaps it's just less embarrassing, but I'm fine when she dresses as a man. Butt either way, Babs Bunny is just the has the entire spirit of Tiny Toons. She's wacky, loony, daffy, and just funny. So, I give Barbara Ann Bunny (Babs Real Name) the coveted Number 1 spot on Cartoon Corner's Top Ten Favorite Tiny Toons Characters!

Buster And Babs Bunny Here!

Just two more and I'll be done with my first ever Top Ten list. It will wrap up the long project, and put it to rest. So, I now present the Number 2 spot on Cartoon Corner's Top Ten Tiny Toons Characters list. That toon is none other than, Buster Bunny! He's is the male half of Tiny Toons' bunny pair. He is always with his companion, Babs Bunny. The two are more than often a couple, and the two funniest things one the show. They combine slapstick with good puns, clever jokes with goofy situations, and other great things. Buster is an incredible comedian, and cracks jokes at the most serious of things. He lightens any mood, and just makes you laugh hard! Plus, you can immediately see the relationship between Buster and Bugs Bunny. Sure they're not related, but they should be! Buster uses all of Bugs' comedy acts to get more laughs than before. He can create things from nowhere, always stay calm, and show the most disturbing thing in all of cartoons. As Fowlmouth would say, "That dad gum, bunny seems to always dad gum cross dress!" That's right everybody, if you thought Bugs was awkward, check out Buster. In one episode, he pulls off being Jessica Rabbit better than Babs. And I'm absolutely serious about that. If you don't believe me, check out Tiny Toons, "Thirteen Something." It will show you how weird he is. But asides from that strange detail, he knows about something else, bigamy! Alright that's it, I won't mention another Buster thing like that again. So, moving along, Buster is just a funny character. He's a natural leader, natural comedian, and natural toon. So, I give Buster Bunny the Number 2 Spot on Cartoon Corner's Top Ten Favorite Characters list. Tune in later to see who is the Number 1 toon.

If Scents Could Kill.....

It's nearly over! The Top Ten Tiny Toons Characters list is nearly finished and put to rest. Now for the Number 3 toon for my list. This lucky character is as sultry as an animal can be. But before I tell you who she is, let me ask you something. What word comes to mind when you hear female skunk? That word is no doubt stinky. But what word comes to mind when you hear cartoon female skunk? Probably the same thing. But to anyone who has seen Tiny Toons, many different words pop up. Those words are sultry, lustful, and voluptuary. So that's where Fifi Le Fume comes in. She is this shows equivalent to Pepe Le Pew, the romantic French skunk. She carries all his traits, except how she is female. If any animal can make me want to howl at the television screen, it's Fifi. What is she not? She's got brains, an enticing French accent, and is overly romantic. What kind of guy does not want someone like that? Well, anyway, she fills out the Pepe Le Pew role perfectly, and has fun on the way. She and the cat Furball (See the video above) make the greatest couple in Tiny Toons. So, for just pure perfection, I give Fifi Le Fume the Number 3 spot on Cartoon Corner's Top Ten Favorite Tiny Toons Characters, and my Personal Favorite Character. The only reason she didn't win first or second place is because these next two are more popular. So just wait and see who they are!

Oh For The Love Of Norman Rockwell

It's nearly finish time for my Top Ten Favorite Tiny Toons Characters List. It's time for the Number 4 Character, which is one of my very favorites.This toon is the egotistic waterfowl, Plucky Duck. Plucky is the spitting image of his daffy predecessor. He's scheming, prideful, and sometimes evil. The duck will do anything to be more famous than he is now. He'll attack his costars, make deals with shady corporations, and barter with the devil himself. That's what makes Plucky so entertaining. He's truly what we all are inside. Everybody wishes to be better than anybody else, and that's what makes Plucky so cool. I mean, plus that fact that he's a green duck! You really don't see green ducks around anymore. Besides all that, Plucky actually has feelings sometimes. He cares about his friends, especially Hampton. Unless money comes into the equation, Plucky will stand thick and thin with the others. So, for greedy behaviors and good friendship qualities, I give Plucky Duck the Number 4 Spot on Cartoon Corner's Top Ten Favorite Tiny Toons Characters. May money one day come to you, Plucky.

At Least I Got A Kitty

It's time for my number 5 spot on my first Top Ten list. Which lucky Tiny Toon star will win the award? Well, none other than the hated Elmyra Duff. This toon is a female version of the famous Elmer Fudd, but is very different from him. She loves animals to death, while Elmer hates them to death. Elmyra, along with a few others, is one of the shows great antagonists. The girl loves all animals and insists on keeping them as pets. She has a tendency to hug, choke, and squeeze them too much. Any poor creature who falls into her grasp ends up dying in an accident. The dead animals even come back to life and try to eat her in one episode! All the toons attempt to escape her, even her fellow humans do to. I mentioned in my last post how Montana Max is forced to be her boyfriend, so there's one example. I have to say that Elmyra is one of the most over the top characters in animation history. She's performed by a great actor (Cree Summer), and has a great personality. So for outstanding performance and great personality, I give the Number 5 spot on Cartoon Corner's Top Ten Favorite Tiny Toon Characters to Elmyra Duff. And to all poor animals who are her pets, I'll pay for your undertaker.

I'm Rich, I'm Important, I'm A Republican

I have gotten all the way down to Number 6 on my Top Ten Favorite Tiny Toons Characters list. To fill the small spot, I have awarded it to Montana Max. He is a rich, snooty boy who is based upon Yosemite Sam. Unlike Sam though, Max has no country accent. Instead he speaks in an angry everyday boy voice. It's never truly described how he got his money, but either way he's rich. Max has an undeniable hate for rabbit, or any animal at all. He's one of the only true antagonists for the Toons, which makes him even better. He's shown that he was to be the next big cartoon star before his show was cancelled. So he takes his frustration on the Toons and anyone near him. Montana Max had one of the greatest actors on the show playing him, Danny Cooksey. He was the only young guy on the show, and did a terrific mean voice. Montana Max also had a girlfriend, but he never did like her. She was the psycho Elmyra Duff, a girl version of Elmer Fudd. Max went on some crazy antics, most of them earning him bad fortune. He would loose he money, get hurt, or other things. For a villain, Monty (As he was sometimes called) was incredibly likable. It didn't matter what he did, he was fun and enjoyable. So I give Montana Max the Number 6 spot on Cartoon Corner's Top Ten Favorite Tiny Toon Characters. May you always have money Monty.

The Successor To The Stutter

Now it's time for my Number 7 spot on my Top Ten Tiny Toons Characters list. That spot is designated to one small, slightly fat pig named Hampton. He is the kid version of everyone's favorite Porky Pig, the stuttering wonder. Despite being a pig, Hampton is a neat, clean kid who's actually Jewish. Hampton is the friend to most of the toons, including Buster and Plucky. He ironically has no stutter, despite being based of Porky. Hampton speaks like any ordinary kid for his age. The pig appeals to me mostly due to his family. If you have a friend who's family is so nice they're freaky, that kid's probably Hampton. His family isn't dysfunctional, but they're evil at the least. Of course they care for each other, but they are so annoying. Hampton's family is caring, but too caring; healthy, but too healthy; and nice, but too nice! That's actually the only thing good about Hampton, he has a weird family. He's not as cool or as funny as Porky is, and is just really a fall guy. He's the Costello to Abbot, innocent and sometimes unlucky. So, I proudly give Hampton Pig the Number 7 spot on Cartoon Corner's Top Ten Tiny Toon Characters.

I'm Ahhhhhnold!!!!

To continue my list of favorite Tiny Toon characters, I now list my number 8. This toon is one called Arnold Pit bull, a parody of Arnold Schwarzenegger. He reflects everything that makes us gasp, or laugh, at the Governator. There's not really anything to say about this Pit bull, other than he's completely buff. He's the embodiment of every guy's dream, perfect body. He apparently does nothing but work out, or speak of how awesome he is. That's another thing about Arnold, he's narcissistic. Arnold thinks he's the most handsome thing one the planet, and the most buff too. Other than that, he even has a girlfriend who's another pit bull named Arnolda. Plus, he has that incredible, and incoherent, German accent everyone hates or loves. So in a nutshell, Arnold has the same attitude most buff people do: Narcissistic, snobby, and devoted to physical perfection. Now I proudly devote the Number 8 spot on Cartoon Corner's Top Ten Favorite Tiny Toon Characters to Arnold Pit bull, for that physical perfection and snobby attitude.

The Holder Of The Signs

To continue with my Top Ten Favorite Tiny Toons Character List, I will announce my Number 9 favorite. That lucky toon is, Calamity Coyote! This character was a kid version of everyone's favorite silent coyote. He would chase after the roadrunner, Little Beeper. Of course, Calamity would never catch the bird, resulting in painful situations. He's one of my favorite characters because he's just so helpless. The canine can't seem to catch a single break. Either his devices are exploding or malfunctioning, or he's seriously hurt. Plus, Calamity is super smart, and uses his devices to help his friends. In the show he is usually seen using signs to speak, instead of talking. I believe he once actually talked with a real voice, but I'm not sure. Either way, Calamity successfully captures the silent humor that his mentor used to get laughs. He and Little Beeper's comical adventures will always make me laugh, even when Tiny Toons is forgotten.With all the explosions, daring plans of capture, and otherwise miserable failures, the two are hilarious. So, I dedicate the Number 9 spot on Cartoon Corner's Top Ten Favorite Tiny Toon Characters List to Calamity Coyote. May one day you catch that racing roadrunner (Though you never will)!

@%$#@^$@!^$#!

I've had this on my mind for awhile, so I finally thought I'd do it. I am going to do a Top Ten Favorite post. The list will be constructed in 10 small posts that will be separated by one other post each. For this list, I'm going to do my Top Ten Favorite Tiny Toon Characters. As I mentioned in the review for it, Tiny Toons is one of my favorite shows. Plus, it had some of my favorite characters, so I decided I do this list. So now, I officially kick of Cartoon Corner's Top Ten Tiny Toon Characters. My 10th favorite character of this show is a small, white rooster named Fowlmouth. He's based upon the Looney Tune character Foghorn Leghorn. In Fowlmouth's first appearance, he peppered every sentence he spoke with profanity (Of course it was bleeped out). He later used less rude words to express his anger, which was nearly every minute of the day. Fowlmouth constantly sought out the affection the Valley Girl, Shirley The Loon. The little chicken was a minor toon in the show, but nevertheless a funny one. He used a rather mature topic to gain laughs from kids. So, I proudly grant Fowlmouth The Chicken the Number 10 spot on Cartoon Corner's Top Ten Tiny Toon Characters.

Yeah Yeah, Sure Sure!

Many of my favorite cartoon stars were invented by the late, and great, Chuck Jones. He worked as an animator in the ending days of cartoon's Golden Age. Chuck invented Road Runner, Wile E. Coyote, Pepe Le Pew, and other ones as well. Like Marc Anthony and Pussyfoot, there was another character often forgotten in history. His name was Claude Cat, a yellow feline who was antagonized by two mice, Hubie and Bertie. He first starred in the cartoon called The Hypo-Chondri-Cat. Claude was scared silly when it came to germs and anything that could make him sick. The two rats used this flaw as an advantage and made Claude believe he was dead. They then sent the cat to Cat Heaven and be rid of him forever. This was a very great cartoon, and allowed Claude to star in other ones as well. He gained enemies with Marc Anthony and Pussyfoot and Frisky Puppy. Ultimately, Hubie, Bertie, and Claude suffered like others stars in their age: They lost popularity. Even so Claude's legacy lives on in the hearts of fans. He's been awarded brief cameos, but may be forced to stay retired forever. To be Claude is just a character to torture for fun. He couldn't probably be granted full stardom, but a little would be nice. Maybe one day I'll get to watch Hubie and Bertie irritate him again. It's not impossible, but maybe far fetched. Anyway, I'm going to give this cartoon a 5 out of 5. It's one of my, and even my Grandmother's, favorite shorts ever.

He So Slow, He Pack A Gun

As I mentioned in a post about racist stereotypes, Speedy Gonzales cartoons are considered racist to Mexicans. Not because of the title star, but of his costars. The one that sent people all of rage was the rat, Slowpoke Rodriguez, the slowest mouse in all of Mexico. His debut was in the episode Mexican Schmoes, where two cats tried to capture him. The first cat Jose grabbed Slowpoke while his brother Manuel tried to tell him something. Before he can, Rodriguez shoots Jose in the face and walks away. Since he was the slowest mouse in Mexico, he had to protect himself somehow. Thus, Slowpoke was born to star in one more episode then die due to criticism. However just like Speedy, Slowpoke is immensely popular in Latin America. It's truly self contradictory, the fact is. How could a racist character be considered cool by the people he's racist to? Well, he can't. Take his gun shooting problem for example. If you were super slow, wouldn't you carry a gun so people couldn't take advantage of you? Well I don't care what people think. I believe Slowpoke Rodriguez to be one of the funniest moments in Looney Tunes ending gags. His debut episode didn't truly focus on him, yet he was a large part in it. I'll give Mexican Schmoes a 4 out of 5.

Character Corner - The Phantom Blot

Back when Mickey was considered cool (You heard what I said!), there was one villain that stuck around a lot. He was an artist's worst nightmare. He was, an ink blot. Not just any old ink blot, but The Phantom Blot! Actually he was a costumed crook. He first appeared in the cartoon Mickey Mouse Outwits. The Blot was a criminal who was supposedly the smartest ever seen. The police then hired Mickey Mouse, of all people, to capture him and bring him in. So in the end, the crook was unmasked and everyone was happy. Or did they? Blot continued to pester Mickey all through his career, even till today. Blot appeared in comics, shows, and games that had him always being beaten by Mickey. His latest appearance was in the game Epic Mickey, where he was an actual ink blot. To be honest, Phantom Blot hasn't had that much impact upon Mickey Mouse. Sure he's big in European comic books, but otherwise he's a minor person. Still, he's worth a check out. His appearances are sparse, but enjoyable.

Who Knew Education Is Bad?

Everyone knows Disney is the greatest thing a child can watch. Their cartoons are good, clean, and kid friendly. Or are they? It's time for the Third Annual Controversial Cartoon Day, and what better way to have a holiday than kill whatever holy image of Disney you had!? This cartoon was titled Education For Death, and was many of Disney's WW2 short films. Who doesn't know how fired up everyone was at that time? Propaganda was flying, so Disney thought they could use that for a cartoon. Thus, a series of anti-German films were made. This cartoon disturbs me greatly for a number of reasons. First off, it correctly shows the dictating life of a small German. It describes how awful the life is, and that's good to show. It explains that the way of Hitler was a mess of evil, demonic power. When it eventually goes on longer, describing more brutal parts, it turns rather ugly. Those parts are the ones that disturbed me the most. Other reasons why I hate it is the announcer sometimes acts like he agrees with Hitler. I know it's sarcasm, but that sarcasm freaks me out. Plus, the ending is depressing. It shows how all Nazis deserve to die, but it is very gloomy. So to cut a long story short, I hate this film. It's disturbing at parts, but lets you get more fired up to hate Nazis. Down to reviewing it, I'll give it 2.75 out of 5. I hate the real anti-German part (I'm part German), and it's too brutal for something done by Disney.

Eh, Why The Hating, Doc?

On my ride home from school, I turned the radio to a popular station called Laugh USA. On the station I listened to a skit done by a man whose name I forgot. What he did was make fun of cartoon shows and characters. I only listened to two of his jokes, because the last one angered me beyond believe. The first joke was about how channels are blocking Speedy Gonzales cartoons. He said that it's because Speedy's supposedly racist to Mexicans around the world. The second one was how channels don't block Pepe Le Pew cartoons, showing how he is supposedly racist to French. His joke's angered me deeply, so I've decided to take my anger out on my blog. First off, Speedy and Pepe are stereotypically Mexican and French, respectively. How they are stereotyped has never been announced, so people just assumed it meant everything about them. Gonzales, for those who don't know, is a super fast Mexican mouse. Taking a look at that brief description, what is racist to Mexicans? Not a darn, dirty thing! What's racist is that Speedy's friends are usually slow and lazy, with one being so slow he carries a gun. To me, having slow and lazy mice is not insulting to Mexicans. What's even a larger slap in the face is that he's popular in Latin America, where he's supposedly racist! The fact of him being racist is completely over exaggerated and otherwise odd. Now on to Pepe. The skunk is of course French, and even more romantic. He's supposedly racist due to how he chases women, but let's not forget that that woman is a cat! It in no way shows a human chases another human! Le Pew is also called racist to how violently he chases that cat. What is odd to moi, is that it never shows or mentions him chasing that cat for that purpose alone. How can we just pay attention to a rumor, and not the fact of Coyote and Elmer Fudd trying to kill Road Runner and Bugs, respectively! The racist rumors ought to be put to bed and forced to stay there. I'm tired of people hating Pepe and Speedy for those reasons, so I hope this changes a few minds.

Music My Good Man!

At my church, I have been cast as the lead role for a play. I gotta learn over 15 lines and 5 songs, one is a solo. Looking over the songs, I realized an important thing. Cartoons have some of the best music around! It key for themes for theme to capture the essence and feeling of the show. Imagine if The Lord Of The Ring cartoon had rock music for a theme. That would be apocalyptic to the cartoon and immediately turn away viewers. So, to be interesting, any show must have a good soundtrack. Without one, the show would be a disaster. Some shows have mediocre themes, but most have outstanding ones. An example of this would be The Real Ghostbusters. The cartoon had the same theme as the movie, but if it's not broke don't fix it. If a person just listened to the intro song, it would hook them faster than Sonic The Hedgehog. It was one of those songs that actually over delivered, because the show is only worth a 4 out of 5. But hey, a theme's a theme, right? One of the first things I reviewed was Tiny Toons, and I posted the theme with it. Though it resembles a campfire song, the song captures the zany, wacky, and loony sense of the show. Along with Steven Spielberg's other shows, Tiny Toons was not only good as a show, but as a theme too. But what would have to be the best song in cartoons would be the intro for my favorite Disney show, Duck Tales. The show starred Uncle Scrooge and his nephews solving mysteries and finding treasure. Duck Tales theme is not only cool, it's catchy! Once you hear it, it will never leave your mind! So, joking aside, a soundtrack is necessary to have a good show. It adds the element of coolness to shows that would be lame without 'em.

Discussion Debate - Mickey Mouse

I as have mentioned before, Mickey Mouse is a key part of every kid's life. He's an American icon that has been around for nearly a century. Without him, the world would be a little more gloomy than it is now. Mickey has populated comics, televisions, and even diapers. At his prime, before the 90s, the mouse was of many faces. He could switch from an action hero to a comedian in an instant. But later, like all stars, his shine began to fade. Mickey turned from the energetic cool guy, to the educational grandpa. Mickey stopped connecting with older audiences and focused on the little children. There has been many attempts to reinstate his epic side (Search Epic Mickey), not one has truly brought him back. Sure everyone knows him, but older kids have stopped wanting to be like him. Mickey has become the old man who enjoys telling everyone about the glory days. Personally, I believe it would take a dumb miracle to reconnect him with older audiences. If you watch the Disney Channel, you can sometimes see reruns of his old cartoons. That is a terrible idea, because it makes us realize how empty the world is today. The Disney Channel now is a slap in the face to the original one. It takes the essence of Disney and transforms it into a beast. Now take a look at Looney Tunes. To me, it seems easier to make them cool to older people than it is for Mickey Mouse. Why is it? Because Looney Tunes weren't forced to become baby friendly. They remained wacky and loony for all times. That's what makes them more beloved by older people and little ones. So as my final verdict, I say that Mickey Mouse needs a miracle to come back on top. Otherwise, he'll be an educational man forever.

Does Story Matter More Than Animation?

If you lived in the 60s, what would see? No doubt racism, but what on the television? Looney Tunes and Mickey Mouse were still on the air, plus there were other good cartoons as well. Betty Boop and Felix Cat were two good alternatives (And I'll review them later!). Those cartoons were good in animation, yet sometimes lacking in plot. And in the already large group of animation classics, there arrived one little unpolished gem for people to enjoy. It was called Clutch Cargo, and it would leave an impact on the animation industry, for better or worse. The show featured an author and pilot named Clutch Cargo. He was sent around the world on dangerous missions, along with his ward, Spinner, and his dog, Paddlefoot. Other than that there was no real true plot. Someone in danger would send for Clutch, he help them, and in the end, all would be safe. Taking just one look at this show, it killed my excitement to watch it. The animation was undeniably lame, and the people's mouths look horrifying! Immediately I turned it off and didn't look at it again. Finally my curiosity won over and I took another look at the show. Beneath the 100% terrible graphics, and awful voice acting, I found one glimmer of hope. The plot in the show was repetitive at best, but they were so imaginative. The one thing that kept me alive in the viewing of this show was the cool stories that were very fun to enjoy. So, with this one pro in a vast sea of cons, and I have to give it 1 out of 5. Clutch Cargo is an imaginative cartoon that is down trodden by terrible visuals and voices. It raises the question, "What is better, animation or plot?"

The Great Gluttonous Garfield

Back when newspapers where the main form of entertainment (scaring to think, huh?) , comic strips allowed the readers to laugh. They added hilarious comedy to an otherwise boring piece of literature. One of the most famous comic strips was a strip called Garfield. It stared a gluttonous, fat cat who live with owner, John, and his dog, Odie. Garfield's main comedy was how much food he would eat. It became clear that he probably could eat you Fat Albert out of house and home. After many years of being in the newspapers, Garfield gained television stardom. Different companies would go and make different cartoon shows about the cat and dog. The show I watched the most was one called Garfield And Friends, and it was a cartoon divided in to two separate shows. The first was of course Garfield, but the second was about a lesser known comic called U.S. Acres. That cartoon was set on a farm supposedly ran by the animals. There was Orson, the pig leader; Sheldon, a chicken in an egg; Wade, a cowardly duck; Booker, a regular chicken; and Roy, a self centered rooster who remains me of Daffy Duck. The animals constantly protect the farm's chickens from weasels, foxes, and Orson's brothers. In reality, the U.S. Acres was my favorite, and was more original than Garfield. Not to say the cat's adventures wasn't creative, it made me laugh many times. The voice acting was rather topnotch, the characters were portrayed with great emotions. Between each cartoon was a small clip, resembling an actual comic strip. There's nothing wrong with the show, but it will fail to hook any people older than 12. So it deserves 3.5 out of 5, because it was actually pretty good.

Cartoon Corner= Babbit And Catstello

Back in earlier times, there was rarely any dirty comedy. You could see any comedian and not have to worry about rude humor. One great pair during those days was Abbot and Costello. They were two comedians who relied on fast talking and pronoun problems to get laughs. Naturally, to get more publicity, two cartoon stars were invented to get people to see the comedic duo. Those two's names are Babbit and Catstello, two cats molded to resemble the humorists. In their first debut, Babbit and his buddy attempted to capture a small bird, who vaguely resembles Tweety Bird. Babbit was the cunning boss, while Catstello was a bumbling grunt. Their attempts to capture the bird is foiled, and they go hungry. In their next appearance, the two were changed from cats to mice. It really made no difference, the duo were as funny as ever. Gradually the two's fame depleted and, like all stars, people left them for new things. In the modern society of cartoons, Babbit and Catstello hold a special place in our hearts, much like their human counterparts. I enjoy them, and anyone who watches their cartoons will too. They're clever, funny, and involved in censorship. In their first episode Babbit goes, "Give me the bird! Give me the bird." Catstello replies, "If it wasn't for the Hays Office, I'd give him the bird." (Hays Office was the censorship company at that time.) In order to respect the comedians they were based on, I've decided to put an Abbot and Costello sketch on this post. If you wish to view the cartoon, check out Youtube.
