When I was a kid, I saw some shorts where Daffy Duck looked brown, instead of black. I hated those!

@canaisyoung3601 5 лет назад

So did I. And it was on Looney Tunes on Nickelodeon. I swear, that show was nothing but redrawn colorized shorts, Daffy/Speedy shorts, Pepe Le Pew cartoons that were too risque to show on Saturday mornings (so...all of them from "Scent-imental Romeo" to "Louvre Come Back to Me", though I never saw "Dog Pounded" until Cartoon Network aired it. Plus, that's more of a Sylvester and Tweety cartoon), and some Looney Tunes shorts that a lot of people don't remember because networkTV didn't rerun them to death.

@chrismulwee4911 4 года назад

Well, when I was a kid in the '70's (shows you how old I am!), I ha NO way of knowing that they were not the genuine article. I found out they were actually black and white around 1985 when THE DAFFY DOC, PORKY'S DUCK HUNT, and YOU OUGHT TO BE IN PICTURES (never redrawn) came out as part of the GOLDEN JUBLIEE home video series

@FuriousMan226 4 года назад

Chris Mulwee The Daffy Doc and Porky’s Duck Hunt were redrawn tho

@jenniferschillig3768 4 года назад

@@chrismulwee4911 Same here. They showed some of the old ones on the UHF channels when I was a kid, and I thought it was just a matter of a faded/aged print. (They also spliced in the post-60s opening and closing--the "Seven Arts" one, with older audio dubbed over it--and I thought that was the one they'd used back then.)

@ToonReel001 4 года назад

The digitally recoloured ones weren't too bad, even if they were often over saturated. I wouldn't have minded having those as extra viewing options in DVD sets featuring the black and white originals (and maybe even the redrawn ones for historical purposes). Plus they at least gave the cartoons more exposure on networks that were persnickety about airing old black and white stuff. I do remember having a public domain VHS as a kid with the redrawn Notes to You and a sepia toned Porky's Midnight Matinee, and even then I could tell the latter had smoother animation.

@stephenholloway6893 2 года назад

At least the computer colorized version had the original animation intact. The 1968 version not so much. The original black and white version of the shorts are better.

@racheln8563 3 года назад

There’s a huge goof in Porky’s Poppa in which Swiss cheese comes by on a conveyer belt, and mice pop out and start yodeling. The redrawn version eliminated that scene, but oddly kept the audio as the camera held on a still from the previous scene. Bizarre.

5 лет назад

even tho i strongly dislike the korean versions and i don't approve coloring B&W stuff, i actually like the computer colored versions CN used to show in the 90s/2000s. they have a very weird but interesting aesthetic of clean colors while still looking very old and done on paper, not even cartoons that were originally done on paper and colored on PC have this same aesthetic

@thomasbarraza9863 5 лет назад

It’s relieving to see someone else’s opinion on the 8thmandvd shorts it distributes. Also to note is how much space the channels watermark takes up in each short, which can be bothersome when watching the short. I also somewhat think the computer colorized shorts can be convincing to think they were made in color to begin with, with the correct colors. Lastly, I’m glad you sat down and had your opinion on the attempts of colorized shorts. Looking forward to part 2.

@jenniferschillig3768 5 лет назад

It was the redrawn/colorized ones they used to show on some channels when I was a kid...and the weird thing was, they had the Warner Brothers/Seven Arts opening logo from the late-period ones, but with the audio from the old openings dubbed over them. So for the longest time I thought those WERE the openings from the older cartoons. (And I thought the weird color schemes were just the fading of old prints.)

The W7 openings and closings from the 1967-69 period did appeared on redrawn color “Looney Tunes” from 1972 where they replaced the Bill Lava’s theme with the original “Looney Tunes” theme played over it due to bad plastering.

Trevor, don't know about you, but to me one of the most laughable redrawn mistakes, is Lawyer Goodwill's "disappearing nose" in THE CASE OF THE STUTTERING PIG. Another disappearing mistake is in PORKY'S DUCK HUNT in which early Daffy lands in the lake and disappears for a second on his first "quack" Anyone else notice those. And talking about "hot colors" even the iris outs are psychedelic colors like, red, green, or even blue!

@michaelpaoneproductions 5 лет назад

i remember i got a dvd that was just called "bugs bunny and daffy duck" as a kid. what i didn't realize at the time was that it wasn't an official WB release and it was all public domain cartoons in terrible quality. one was a "colorized" version of "daffy's southern exposure." i put colorized in quotes because literally everything was a reddish-brown.

When I was an 11 year-old nostalgia buff, I avidly ate up the redrawn LOONEY TUNES when they were introduced on Boston TV(1970 or '71)assuming them to be authentic 30s cartoons, but I wondered why the animation was so jerky, and also why Warner owned them but not the MELODIES of the same vintage! I finally learned they were trace-overs around 1975, and knew of the Warner-Sunset-Seven Arts-Warner round robin later.

@John80220 4 года назад

The first series of computer colorized LTs, in 1990, suffered from some of the same bad color choices as the redrawns. The second group, in 1992, avoided that mistake, but the colors instead were muted -- lots of browns and greens, but not the type of colors the original crews would have used if the cartoons had been done in color in the first place. It's only when you get to the final series of computer colorizations, in 1995, that the color choices start coming close to what the directions would have chosen 55 years earlier.

@DanknDerpyGamer Год назад

That 1992 one is a HELL of a lot better compared to the redrawing/colorizing effort.

@robbiewalker2831 5 лет назад

To me, it's more based on choice or taste. The Bottom "Original B/W" selection is what I call "We chose it this way, even though others had color" cartoons; The Middle "Computerized" Section is what I call "You don't have to watch it, but you can if you want" color cartoons; and the Top "Redrawn" section is what I call "What we're doing is wrong, we know it's wrong, but we're doing it anyway" color cartoons. My recommendation is avoid the redrawn ones at all costs. You're free to watch either the original Black and White, or the computerized colored versions. I feel that the computerized ones can fit into the decade it came from, but more of a what-if selection.

@robbiewalker2831 2 года назад

@@TheLooneyTunesCritic Well, my point was that the redrawn ones are the only ones that DON'T matter. If anyone wants to watch the originals in b&w, more power to the audience, it means some attention to the original showings are still thriving. I still stand by my view that, even with the computerized color version, the original B&W will still be remembered. I was just seeing these two options in a similar fashion to Game and Watch Gallery, where the graphics were updated in the modern variations, but the gameplay retains; it even came with the original versions as an option, unless you want to go for completion by unlocking stuff. I don't speak for everyone about this choice, but other than the redraw variants, I just don't see what the big deal is.

@jccw227 5 лет назад

One big blunder I remember in a colorized Looney Tunes cartoon was in the Porky Pig short, The Sour Puss, which used to air on Nickelodeon regularly through the 90s. It was the final gag where the shark turns into a caricature of Lew Lehr. In the colorized version, the shark flickers for several frames between being a regular shark and Lew Lehr. I may have been about 10 years old, and thought it was a bit jarring, and I was so blown away when I finally saw the black and white version and the flicker wasn’t there.

Unfortunately I grew up on mostly the redrawn colorized Looney Tunes instead of the originals. One TV station where I'm from seemed to have the whole package. I knew they weren't the genuine article only because I had a few black and white or sepia toned cartoons on tape which didn't have as many errors as its colorized duplicate. The Henpecked Duck comes to mind. Some had the orange rings opening, some had the 7-arts and some actually tried to recreate the original titles (but failed). Daffy was usually brown. Most had the end theme or the Porky "That's all folks" played under either the orange rings or the 7-arts closing titles but the odd one had actually animated Porky coming from the drum. The iris outs were animated in colour. It sucked but that's how I saw most of the black and white cartoons as a kid. At some point in the late 1990s, the original black and white cartoons started showing up on TV.

@TunesAndToons 4 года назад

I saw "Porky Pig's Feat" (a great short, BTW) in black-and-white, in one of the old non-twisted Spike and Mike shows, and I was happy to find it on one of the laserdiscs WHV produced in the 90s. But even though WHV included black-and-white copies of other early Looney Tunes on those discs, for this title they used the computer colorized version, and the colors are almost painful. Fortunately, by the time they got around to including it on DVD, they used the black-and-white print.

They seem to do this a lot with films that were originally made in black and white in the 1930s nowadays, not just animated short films but also Laurel and Hardy films and even a few Three Stooges shorts that I watched on RU-vid (such as Disorder in the Court). I've even seen a short film called Reefer Madness that was originally shot in black and white and was recently computer colorized. It was some bizarre propaganda film made in the mid 1930s about the dangers of smoking marijuana that was later shown in cinemas in the late 1960s. In the colorized version, whenever someone takes a puff of a marijuana joint the smoke would be either purple or green color.

Colonizing black and white Film is very tricky. It can be done. But it needs to be a careful selection of asthiecs and an understanding of how the film or animation was created. Not half assed. But it's such a daunting task it begs the question: why do it in the first place?

@samp.8099 5 лет назад

Hey Trevor, the little smudge you showed in the Ali Baba Bound freeze frame isn't the fly; it actually appears in the far left of the screen around the 1:02 minute mark when Porky starts singing "She's the sweetest one he found". It's pretty easy to make out its shape, especially the wings, but I guess it's harder to spot it in some bad looking prints. You can clearly see it in this version though ( ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-EDMqDWZHhN4.html) it somehow stays on screen not for a single frame but for more than a full second, makes you think of the working conditions those korean animators had to deal with in whatever sweatshop these cartoons were made in.

@TheLooneyTunesCritic 5 лет назад

Yeah, there was a debate about that and, over multiple platforms, I posted that freeze frame asking if it was the fly and literally everyone said 'that's it,' including Matt!

The toast and the coffee are hot pink and Daffy in some of the Norman McCabe cartoons where he’s brown just like Trevor mentioned. Like seriously?! I don’t really suggest colorizing cartoons in black and white. I suggest just leave it the way it originally was

Brock Pifer also, some redrawns end up using the incorrect opening title (ex. the 1937-1938 Porky facing left opening title on a 1938-1939 season cartoon) and even went as far by using the wrong opening theme that goes along with it.

Just focusing on the porky's feat short in specific, while the traced outlines on the 68 version look abysmal and insulting to the eye, the color choices used there aren't too bad imo (for the most part at least). The colors in the 1990 version are ok(?), but it's a bit too saturated in some areas; though the sky's color does look a lot better there than in the previously mentioned version. As for 8thManDVD's version, so far it's... alright. Not great, but just alright. It kinda gives me a 50s chuck jones vibe in how the colors are simple and vibrant. Porky's color choices bother me though. Like I get 8thMan wants to keep the outlines from porky's jacket intact, but I dunno.. whenever I see porky with a black jacket in these colorized shorts it always seems to tick me off. I just hope one day there's a colored version that not only keeps the OG outlines intact, but also has a color pallet that's accurate on porky and daffy, and one that's a good balance between vibrant and faded.

A film shot in black n white should be left that way? This sounds very narrow-minded and quite snobish. A movie or a cartoon shouldnt have just one version. There is nothing wrong about colorization. A film, animated or not, can know different versions through the time and thats a good thing, to see it from a different perspective. We have to embrace the changes and the new things that come. I agree, that the 1960s redrawn versions are horrible, an eye torture, but most of the computer colorized toons done in the 1990s are stunning, especially the ones from the 1995 that look like they've made in Technicolor. And I know they put a lot of hard work and soul on it. The black n white versions you've presented arent quite the originals either, but rather digitally remastered versions of the old films. Me, as a Looney Tunes fan, I collected on a hard drive most of the episodes from the series, and I added both the computer colorized cartoons that I find rare and special and the original black n white into the collection.

@chrisrj9871 5 лет назад

Question: Why would they have been painted in color, then shot in black and white, and then MEANT to be in black and white?

@TheLooneyTunesCritic 5 лет назад

They're painted in grey tones. Like you said, they're meant to be in black and white, so they painted it as such. That's why Matt and I are so angry. When you paint in grey tones, it's an artistic choice, and where it is the most noticeable is in the backgrounds because whereas before they were different shaded shapes to indicate solid stuff, when they're made into colorized versions, those shapes really need to be turned into drawings with outlines in order to work. In other words, with black and white, you can have shadows indicate negative space on a table, but when you paint a shadow a color like blue and the table itself is red it doesn't register as anything but random colorized shapes, not a table with a shadow, or for that matter, a red table with a blue shadow. These colorizations should act to prove that unless you're an artist you have no business making artistic decisions. The worst part is the executives behind it don't consider it an artistic decision. Then again, they don't consider anything. - trevor.

I wonder if computer colorized verisons are avalible in hd.

@kingandrewcecil348 3 года назад

Unfortunately no, they're only available in SD, since the unrestored SD B&W prints from the original master negatives were used as the source material for the computer colorized versions.

Question. If you keep repeating, probably to make sure everyone knows it, that the Looney Tunes we know today aren't actually Looney Tunes.... why don't you use the title of self-proclaimed Merry Melodies critic?

Hey guys, I loved the video, but is it possible to do some editing to get rid of "uh"s and other pauses and meandering? I get that you guys are doing this off the cuff, but it becomes distracting when you're getting into a topic and become sidetracked, ultimately wasting time in getting back to the subject matter, (for example, towards the end when you were about to address your talk with John Minton). Honestly, just listening to the audio beforehand and cutting out unnecessary rambling would improve your videos immensely.

He does it a LOT in his Space Jam review, too - lots of asides OF asides, pauses, pauses to make an aside, etc. It becomes tedious to sit through to get to the meat of his critique.

The red drawings are so crappy I called her the bootleg animation because they copy everything from the original animation. Look at Porky's Cafe Conrod taking a swing at a ant that's holding a pancake and he disappears brought him back and original animation he was still spinning around trying to catch the ant with the pancake on top of them

In 1968, Warner Bros.-Seven Arts decided that kids weren't going to watch black and white cartoons anymore- at least, not the 1955 Guild Films (or 1961 Seven Arts Associated) TV prints of their recently reacquired 1930-'43 "Looney Tunes" library. They contracted with Fred Ladd's "Color Systems" company to "recolor" 78 Porky Pig black and white cartoons. In turn, Ladd hired a platoon of South Korean animators to "retrace" the original black and white film frames.......and for the most part, they sucked. They were on a tight schedule and an even tighter production budget- and there were *many* mistakes and errors involved in those retracings.

No shit, Barry. We made a video about it. You may have heard about it, it's just up there a piece. Watch it maybe. As a general rule, nobody's clicking on a video and going right to the comments, which would be the only reason a Wikipedia article in the form of a comment like yours would be appropriate. You wanna flex? Do what me and Matt did. Make a video.

@fromthesidelines 10 месяцев назад

Thank you for your response. I didn't see those WB-7A "recolored" cartoons until WNEW-TV in New York started scheduling them in 1972. They did that through 1988.

@@fromthesidelinesAnd now, thanks to Discovery Family, they ran “Looney Tunes” every weekday at 1PM which is right before “My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic” came on. They ran three Porky Pig cartoons, all three were original B&W versions, no redrawns, no computer colorized, just the B&W originals. What’s interesting, they aired two cartoons like “Porky’s Bear Facts” and “Porky’s Cafe”, both were in the Public Domain for the first time on Discovery Family.
