Spinning star recreated. The rest is just a cropped version of the French channel 5 copy, but still an interesting recreation of how this cartoon should be seen.
I used to get night terrors when I was a kid. My parents bought me a VHS cassette with old mixed cartoons to put on for me so I would calm down and this was one of them. Memories, man, wow.
Adult version of song: You've got the hangover blues! The hangover blues! The hangover blues! You've got the hangover blues from drinking all the liquor you did! Oh you're drunk right down to your shoes! You're woofing down gin in bunches of twos! You've got the hangover blues, You're gonna be the sorriest kid (whose 21) You drank way more alchohol than you can chew! You went and made a stinkin drunk of little you! You've go the hangover blues! The look on your face is tellin the news! You've got the hangover blues from drinking all the liquor you did!
The scene with Audrey trying to find candy in her room is basically a homage to the 1945 film the lost weekend where ray milland tries to find alcohol in his room as well,which was also made by paramount
"Petunia" was the family maid, and occasionally appeared in Audrey's comic book stories until 1951, when she was last seen in "Audrey the Rainmaker" {by that time, the studio decided to phase her out, due to her stereotypical appearance}.
This was long before Harvey Comics acquired her underrated character and start her own comic book series under Harvey. Harvey was best known for this alone with Casper, Baby Huey, Herman, Katnip and others.
+Musicradio77 Television Network Actually Alfred Harvey was the original creator of Harveytoons. He allowed licensing of his characters for Short Subjection adaptation in Paramount's Famous Studios dept. Until 1955, it was distributed under the brand label "Noveltoons" instead of Harveytoons.
Because Paramount's cartoon characters were SO successful in his comic books, Alfred Harvey bought Paramount's 1950-'59 cartoon library [including all cartoons that were to be released through October 1959]- AND the rights to their characters- in July 1958, at a "dirt cheap" price of $1.7 million dollars {which he quickly recouped within a year}. He capitalized on that cartoon inventory by reissuing them on TV as "Harveytoons" (initially seen on ABC's "MATTY'S FUNDAY FUNNIES" in the fall of 1959), through a 30 year distribution agreement with ABC Films [and their successor after 1972, Worldvision Enterprises].
Audrey's own comic book was first published in the spring of 1948, several months before her screen debut. Paramount licensed St. John Publishing to distribute those comics [featuring several Famous staffers, including Steve Mufffati, to write and draw her stories] until 1952, when Alfred Harvey made a more lucrative deal with the studio to publish their comic books.
When I watched this as a kid the tummy ache blues scene always confused me. I was confused of why all the candies were mad at Audrey for having eaten too much candy as if she committed a felony.
The sequence of Audrey in her room is a satire of Ray Milland as an alcoholic in "The Lost Weekend". The maid saying she'll stay there for "the whole weekend - if necessary" is the intro. The desperate search that leads to the bag in the light fixture, and the canary turning into a bat, are direct copies of the movie.
Bag Ghost: "You've got the Tummy Ache Blues! The Tummy Ache Blues! The Tummy Ache Blues! You've got the Tummy Ache Blues From eating all the candy you did!" Flying Black Gumdrops: "You'll fret right down to your shoes! Your woes will all come in bunches of twos! You've got the Tummy Ache Blues! You're gonna be the sorriest kid!" Chocolate Bar Ghost: "You bit off more choc-o-late than you can chew! You went and made a big, big pig of little you!" Candy Canes: "You've got the Tummy Ache Blues! The look on your face is tellin' the news! You've got the Tummy Ache Blues From eating all the candy you did! From eating all the candy you did!" All: "You've got the Tummy Ache Blues! The look on your face is tellin' the news! You've got the Tummy Ache Blues From eating all the candy you did!"
Me and Sis Ellie Loved This Back In 1963 Till About 1968 NYC Aired Saturday's In AM With Follow The Bouncing Ball Musical Cartoons We Loved And Mentioned These Lovely Memories !!!
My mom bought me and my sister two tapes that had a mix of these cartoons including little aubrey, betty boop, and some other randon really old stuff. this had to be about 1985
I remember when I was little my mom was telling my neighbor about me watching this cartoon, and she was telling me she read a book entitled The Story of Little Black Sambo. I remember thinking "I heard of that story, but I..."
did anyone else born in the mid 80's remember having a vhs when they were a kid that had this cartoon plus little audrey in goofy gander , popeye vs sinbad and mighty mouse where he saves the sheep?
This is a complete kiddiazation of alcoholism. There are several cartoons based on kids smoking, but this is kind of amazing. in more recent times it can even be taken as dope withdrawal. Might be one of a kind for searing social realism. Although there was a pretty good Mighty Mouse cartoon about hotrodding juvenile delinquents taking over a town that was, I think, before Wild One or Blackboard Jungle.
Paramount cut the times of all their openings just after their cartoon was released, so we ended up with a revised and shorter version of the theme that everyone remembers (they also truncated the opening fanfares for the Popeye and Noveltoons shorts, and redid the Screen Songs opening to shorten that up, too, only four shorts into the revived series). Audrey doesn't say much in this cartoon, but she's still a 'louder' character than Lulu had been, even before the infamous laugh debuted.
I wouldn't "assume" that Paramount was, or needed to "test" Audrey. She was clearly modeled after LULU with a subtle personality change. The motivation was to come up with a original character to avoid licensing other creations as with POPEYE and SUPERMAN. While the format is similar to LULU, the characters are different. LULU was more of a female precursor to DENNIS THE MENACE of sorts. AUDREY is less of an innocent renegade and more expressive.
That was her first appearance as a "Noveltoon" character (in November '47), Ray- but it wasn't "her" cartoon [she was part of a "gang" of kids in that one]. I believe Paramount was "testing" her, to see if she could replace "Little Lulu" in '48. After another brief appearance, in Popeye's "Olive Oyl For President" [January 1948], the studio gave her own series within the "Noveltoon" format {with her own theme}.
Amanda Randolph did her voice in the five “Little Audrey” cartoons she appeared in…Lillian Randolph, her younger sister, voiced the other character in 19 shorts with “Tom and Jerry”. Both women had pretty full careers which included work in theater, radio, tv and film.
Not surprising, since many of the studio's animators worked for Max Fleischer- in fact, Fleischer's 'Color Classic', "Song of the Birds" (1935), was remade with Little Audrey under the same title in '49.
Yes, that was one of many. What's interesting is to note how in their remakes they added new things. I believe that THE ANVIL CHORUS GIRL (1944) comes the closest to following the original, SHOEIN' HOSSES (1934). To some this may seem like a lack of orignality, but keep in mind that there is 10 years between the two films, and people only saw them once. They did not have the luxury of repeated viewing on television for these comparisons.
That shot of Audrey screaming and spinning away was great although it looked like someone else did the animation. The first half of the toon is a somewhat surprising, almost over the top, look at substance abuse and deprivation. Even the title is kind of suggestive for a cartoon. Wonder if they were thinking of Lost Weekend a la Fantasia in places. Audrey does not have her signature laugh in her first starring outing, but the elements of dream and hallucination in a "land" type cartoon (candyland here) we see so often in Little Audrey toons are already present. It's a great little cartoon and a pretty good beginning for the somewhat short series.
Christopher Sobieniak -- Well she replaced Little Lulu because Famous was to cheap to pay licensing. They only made 16 Audrey's over 10 years, she being part of the Noveltoon series. But there are many of the Little Lulu's here on YT, and even though I am a big Audrey fan, the Lulu's are pretty good. I have to admit though that Lulu totally eclipsed Audrey when it came to comic books, although Audrey had a good comic book career. One thing Audrey had that Lulu did not was that she was voiced by the one and only Mae Questrel.
+gnikcohs Yes. The great Mae Questal voiced Audrey. She also replaced Jeanine Roberts as Olive Oyl in Popeye in 1943. Little Lulu's short subject debut was in 1938. Audrey's in 1947.
gnikcohs Wikipedia is incorrect. Questal WAS not voicing Olive Oyl in the 30s. That was a completely DIFFERENT radio actress named Jeanine Roberts who was a bit player Paramount and who guessed starred in the 3 Stooges' short "Men In Black". Notice the difference in Olive Oyl's voice in the 30s Popeye and 40s-50s one. It's COMPLETELY different. Questal voiced Betty Boop and mostly side characters: little boys(Play Safe,Greedy Humpty Dumpty),girls and unamed young female characters. Questal replaced Roberts as Olive Oyl in 1943. During WWII.
Correction on the orginial title It orginally said "Color By Technicolor" on the mountain and not "In Technicolor". Beside this this is a accurate recreation of rare titles used only once
{Lyrics}: Bag Ghost: "You've got the Tummy Ache Blues! The Tummy Ache Blues! The Tummy Ache Blues! You've got the Tummy Ache Blues From eating all the candy you did!" Flying Black Gumdrops: "Ohhhhhh you’re red right down to your shoes! You're wolfin' down gum in bunches of twos! You've got the Tummy Ache Blues! You're gonna be the sorriest kid!"

The look on your face is tellin’ the news! You’ve got the Tummy Ache Blues! From eating all the candy you did!”
Oh, dear! Now Bag Ghost, Flying Black Gumdrops, Chocolate Bar Ghost, and other candies are all villains because they tell Little Audrey that she's got a tummy-ache.
Inspired partially by the delirium tremens moments experienced by Ray Milland in “The Lost Weekend”. In some ways this could also be compared to other hallucinogenic nightmares in animated history such as the pink elephants sequence from “Dumbo” (surprised nobody’s mentioned that in this thread…animator and animation director Bill Tytla incidentally worked on both characters, Dumbo and Little Audrey, although he did not direct this short). In some ways Audrey’s dream is a little more unsettling as the apparitions directly interact with her. She would continue to have dreams in some of her other shorts, some just as traumatic as in “The Lost Dream” and “The Seapreme Court”, yet others were of an innocent nature and with positive outcome.
Michelle: Pichu! Pichu singing: Rock a bye baby on the treetop... Michelle: Eating candy again instead of food! Michelle says "Now you sit right down and eat your lunch and NO MORE CANDY!" and levitates like Elysium (but no wings) and said again "I just can't stand a child eating candy 48 hours a day. Pichu eats candy and feed a Poochyena her lunch Michelle said "Eating candy candy candy and for..... Pichu accidentally feeds Michelle her lunch Michelle: Now you are gonna stay right in your room because you let it to eat food. Michelle pulls out the Fri, Sat, Sun, Mon, and always bag and said "You wanna stay here for the whole weekend? You're never fed" and flies away
@@KrimzonFlygon1 The mother at least is shown in another Audrey short: “Little Audrey Riding Rood” in which she sends Audrey with a cake to visit her Grandma.
Probably I Think This One's A Classic Also Think of Cadbury Dairy Milk Mars Bar Crunchie Violet Crumble Pascall Cherry Ripe Milky Way M&M's Dream Flake
*LOUD SCREAMING* from Little Audrey 4:02 That camera starts shift the darkness after all then came out to Little Audrey's screaming mouth, she starts screaming because of her room is ruined, she shrieks and she gets *DIE* and *DEFEAT* the fade away and the fact also be then she was exploding death! (¡¡😧😨😱😨😧!!) (¡¡😱😱😱!!)
Gotta make the mammy dark-skinned with a blackface look huh animators? There were a lot of negative stereotypes on ethnicity back then. So glad its not like that in most cartoon shows we have today although most of them are just plain boring and unoriginal.
TomboyPlayer1993 I hate the new scheduling of these cartoon channels. It always have marathons of the same shows nowadays. Back then, it used to air show for a hour and then airs a random one after that.
TomboyPlayer1993 well, actually it's not ment to look like black face, they where working with very limited tecnolgy back then, and showing simular shades of color the same color was difficult because it was often indistinguishable, so often the lips had to be lighter inorder to distinguish facial movement. also there are many african americans with dark skin tone, but it's lighter around there lips and the palms of their hands, a lady who went to my church as a kid had that coloration type, and I always thought she looked beautiful.
@@IrkenExile Oh, dear! Now Bag Ghost, Flying Black Gumdrops, Chocolate Bar Ghost, and other candies are all villains because they tell Little Audrey that she's got a tummy-ache.
@@thisotakugirl1017 Yeah, no, the writers *knew* what they were doing in the 30-50s, especially when it comes to ethnicity groups. Don't tell me how or what to think.
Little Audrey: Ethnic Discrimination: The Maid and the Younger Child Should not Represent the Black or Dark Cultural Community. The Maid, Younger Child is just another Mimic copy Pretender/ not a real Origin Ethnic Culture, should have been abolish. My advice: Higher real actor or actress to Characterize the person in Realization similar to Little Audrey. Community Cultural Black's, or Dark People are Real People as well. Playful Little Audrey need to be up-dated. The Oppressor Time Era Day are over. Keep in mind.
Oh, dear! Now Bag Ghost, Flying Black Gumdrops, Chocolate Bar Ghost, and other candies are all villains because they tell Little Audrey that she's got a tummy-ache.
