I have always loved both Little Lulu and Little Audrey too both full of amazing lessons kids just don't see anymore, I truly miss these and my grams will always shine through the good 'ol days.......both were classics on VHS she purchased just for me woohoo and now they're up on RU-vid
My Grandma would put this on for me via VHS when I was about four or five. It was a very very distant memory and that song "would you like to swing on a star" has always been in my head and I never knew where it came from until my mom posted a Facebook gif of a cartoon swinging from a star and it all came back to me!! I'm 20 now.
3:40 In Lulu's dream (while she is being unconscious); the little girl finds herself in a strange world, where it is full of babies - whom acted like 'getting-your-own-way' adults, including Alvin!
The Eugster unit's output on the one-shot Noveltoons in the 1950s was actually pretty strong,especially when he was paired with Irv Spector as writer. It's interesting to conrast and compare the dream sequences in the Lulu cartoons with the later ones done in the Little Audrey series -- Famous was able to keep the fantasy elements unique and entertaining with Lulu, while the later ones pretty much became "Audry falls asleep and dreams she's in (name your location here)..."
@superLuluLC: the babies in order are W.C. Fields (big red nose), Bob Hope, Jerry Colonna, Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby and Cab Calloway. The "Bob Hope" baby says "I want to be alone with Miriam" but I don't know who he is referring to. Hope's wife is/was "Dolores" and none of the "Bob Hope" movies I checked for 1947 have any reference to either a character or a movie star named "Miriam."
This was undoubtedly inspired by the then brand-new Little Lulu comic books, where Lulu baby-sits(and tells stories to)the pesky little Alvin.(I wonder if Ross Bagdasarian,aka David Seville,was a Little Lulu fan?)
Richard Ranke If you are wondering.... no, Ross did not get Alvin’s name from Little Lulu... you see, the chipmunks first began as a novelty music talent on Liberty Records in the late 1950’s, and the founders/managers of Liberty’s names were Simon “Si” Waronker, Alvin Bennett, and Theodore Keep, and that’s were Ross Bagdasarian got their names from! :)
i was probably about 5-8 years young, though i didn't watch a lot of the little lulu episodes, some i watch were from cartoon craze dvd collections, i forgot about those for so long up until now
@superLuluLC *my name is Lulu too... well actually is Lourdes, but Lulu it's the way people call girls named Lourdes in Mexico One more question !! Are the "babies" in this cartoon famous people of that time? I mean, real people? If so, who are they?
Yep! They are! The first one you see is W.C. Fields (the guy with the big, round nose), then there’s Bob Hope (the guy who wants to be alone with “Miriam”). Next to Miriam is Frank Sinatra (on the left side), Bing Crosby (on the right side) and above her is Jerry Colonna! When Lulu is chasing Alvin under the table, it turns out Alvin is Harpo Marx (the one with the bike horn)! Then later when she actually finds Alvin, the conductor of the band is i think Cab Calloway but i could be wrong. I hope this helped you!
