As a Gen X-er who watched these on TV with the Three Stooges before school. I’m glad y’all still enjoyed them in spite of the poor quality. Many of these cartoons haven’t been seen in good quality for decades! It’s good to know that there’s a younger interest in these cartoons!
The black bars were there to censor the paramount logo and technicolor text because they did not want their image shown on tv when UM&M bought the Fleischer and Famous cartoons in the mid 1950s. Prints with original titles are very rare since the tv prints circulated.
The little lulu series is public domain, so nobody actually has the copyright to these films. I admit, Steve did an amazing job restoring the picture and audio
This is one of the few LULU cartoons that will pass muster today. The unfortunate reality is that several of the other entries contain Black Stereotypes that are not acceptable today in spite of the otherwise entertaining aspects. I recall that LOOS IN A CABOOSE cut the Stephen Fecthit Porter from the print shown on Detroit television. The rest of the cartoon was "safe."
It's good, but it's nothing you haven't seen before. Famous Studios' formula was to have Lulu annoy the hell out of some adult figure- and virtually drive them to the point of insanity.
Yeah,the formula is okay since this already worked well before with many cartoon characters annoying and heckling a people around using their jokes and tricks,such as Bugs Bunny,Daffy Duck,Woody Woodpecker,The Warner Trio(Yakko,Wakko,and Dot),Heckle and Jeckle,Screwy Squirrel,and others.
This was supposed to be the Paramount closing title: static.wikia.nocookie.net/logopedia/images/8/81/ParamountCartoons1943Closing.png/revision/latest?cb=20160406013720
The original titles had to be cut at the request of Paramount, saying that they didn't want their logo and copyrights shown, so when UM&M bought the Fleischer/Famous library in 1955, they cut the titles and replaced them with a shield with yellow text on a red backdrop. And since AI and After Effects exist, it is now possible to restore and recreate all original titles and credits.
That little brat Lulu has been causing lots of trouble at the department store and this makes the manager really angry 😠💢😡. She should have been banned from the department store for csiinng/causing mischiefs, y'know.
