Is it just me, or does the heavy set tourist that tries to produce an echo seem like a dead ringer for the fat Elmer Fudd that would appear a little over a year later?

It had been mentioned about 20 years ago on rec.arts.animation-wanrer-bros that Lou Marcelle narrated this catoon. there would be some other one where Robert C.Bruce didn't narrate--Gil Warren and Frank Graham narrated some of these.:)Pokeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15936757752447320636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2993307026115460029.post-64369766709603150432017-03-15T09:37:19.420-07:002017-03-15T09:37:19.420-07:00I concur with Mark.

When I revisited this one years ago I was struck by how well everything sings, compared to how uneven Avery's other travelogue spoofs had been and would be. We're getting into Avery's second wind at Schlesinger's when he'd create classic after classic. There are still a few duds to come, but the best ones are the best WB cartoons of the period, no contest.Thadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02920658665498971353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2993307026115460029.post-76521238808949494792017-03-11T05:31:39.898-08:002017-03-11T05:31:39.898-08:00Welcome back!

Tex really wanted the performances just right for this cartoon, so he filmed himself acting out the bobcat's "I can't do it!" shot, and I suspect he must have shot live action for the dog's "millions of trees" line. The live action film still exists of the stripper he filmed for the lizard's skin shedding scene. The great Rod Mark Kauslerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10198724482452376069noreply@blogger.com
