It's funny because Looney Tunes was created as a direct competitor to Disney's Silly Symphonies, and today Looney Tunes is much more well-known than Silly Symphonies.
Yet even counting the Merrie Melodies shorts The Silly Symphonies still had won more Oscars compared to the Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies shorts. 2 LT shorts and 3 MM shorts 5 total while the SS shorts 7 Oscars for best animated shorts.
I never realized that classic Looney Tunes had so many Disney references (to the Disney content of the time, of course, not the stuff that came later). It's hardly surprising, but still cool to see.
Friz Freleng did work for Walt Disney while he was producing the Laugh O Grams series, but the two of them did not get along. Friz was blamed for everything, and he was harassed by other animators. Chuck Jones highly admired Disney that when some of the artists left the studio, Chuck hired them.
0:25 - an unintentional allusion to Mel Blanc's only Disney cartoon. He infamously voiced Gideon's hiccups and deleted dialogue in Pinocchio. 😅 I should've known 1:18 would be used for Dumbo!
Lmao wtf, that’s the first time I hear Taz speak anything other than gibberish - although beautiful gibberish. Seems weird hearing him speak actual words.
I feel the more accurate way of showing “Home on the Range” would be to use something based around “The Pied Piper”, because despite being set in the Wild West, the main story is from Hamelin.
Ohh! How did you manage to find a scene for every movie? 🤩 I bet it took lots of research!! I thought that the scene for sleeping beauty was from a Woody Woodpecker cartoon, but I was wrong 😅
ABC did when they cut that ending back in the 1990s when ABC (despite then being bought out by Disney) still aired "The Bugs Bunny and Tweety Show", though that show was usually the first to get preempted due to world events (Princess Di's funeral or Bill Clinton getting impeached) or sports. Tragic, really.
I know the Toy Story movies would be depicted as any of those really early Warner Bros cartoons where things come to life when the store closes and it's one big excuse for a musical number and a thin romantic story. "Redheaded Baby" immediately comes to mind, though Toy Town Hall, Toy Trouble, and We're in the Money also qualify.
