One more Don Williams' scene where his work shines working with Art Davis. The dry brush is really apparent here and his work starts to get loose as he animates Porky walking back and forth and talking seen in "Mouse Menace"

Time for Don William's work at WB. When he returned in 1946, he first worked with McKimson. Given he didn't want his cartoons to be "over-animated", the dry-brushes that Williams uses aren't apparent here, but his rigid, expressive traits are still here seen here in "Acrobatty Bunny"

Time for this month's animator of the month which is Don Williams. Like Emery Hawkins, he moved across different studios in the West. His work is usually loose, but with a bit of rigidity with a good use of drybrush seen here in "The Beach Nut" as Wally Walrus chops down the hydrant Woody is in.

I should probably look into seeing which Treehouse Of Horror episode I truly enjoy. Currently, I stand at the XIV being my favourite as I enjoy all the segments here: Homer playing the Grim Reaper, Frink's father playing Franksetein and Bart using a stopwatch to freeze time.

I do wish Mel Blanc voiced the woodpecker more in these shorts. His wild, proto-Bugs acting of the bird is the reason why I still love his work before Kent Rodgers stepped in.

Just watching this short and The Cat Concerto, I still love the former, but still enjoy this. I dig the use of Die Fledermaus which fits the style of the series where tension rise between both characters fighting to conduct, but at the same time, the slapstick in Cat Concerto is a lot of fun.

Given my admiration of their 40s and 50s works with Mr Magoo, Fox and Crow, Gerald McBoing-Boing and Roody Toot-Toot, I honestly can't wait to see a fully fledged UPA documentation to come out. To any classic animation fan out there, this is definitely worth looking at once it comes out!

Love this episode - honestly up there as my favourite episodes from the pre-Movie era of SpongeBob. I genuinely smiled hard when Squidward realised his band wasn't as bad as he thought and actually played a banger of a tune and one-upping Squilliam. If you haven't watched this episode, do watch it!

I personally agree with this. Every WB director had a selection of good and bad shorts, but they all had the intention to make the audience laugh. Even if some gags are misses in a short of theirs, you can still sit down and find some enjoyment out of them nonetheless.

I've been struggling to make a compilation of my favourite Looney Tunes moments. Easiest parts is gathering the shorts, hardest part is knowing what to clip cos every second of great. I have almost 100 shorts though I will have to crop it down to 50, which that'll be another difficult chore to do.

Still can never choose my favorite actual LT joke, BUT, I will say, the music being "All I Want for Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth" as Daffy threatens to knock Porky's teeth out made my jaw drop when I first noticed it. Carl Stalling is a genius and his music choices are jokes in themselves

Solid Serenade turns 80 today. One of the most beloved T&J shorts out there. Though as I said before, Mike Lah steals the show here animating the best, sharpest scenes of the short (outside of Ken Muse animating Tom's iconic musical performance)

1) "Fox-Terror" (1957) An excellent short from my childhood and one I personally really love. Being a Mike Maltese story, there are some excellent scenes here with the fox making the rooster and the dog backstab each other and l do enjoy a short where both character team up to defeat a common foe.

Daily Dose of Classic Cartoons @ddofcartoons.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

2) "Little Boy Boo" (1954) Often cited as one of the best Foghorn Leghorn shorts, especially with Egghead Jr, who is the polar opposite of what the rooster stands for which makes for an excellent dynamic between the characters. Rod Scribner really steals the show with his loose, exaggerated poses.

Daily Dose of Classic Cartoons @ddofcartoons.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

3) "The Foghorn Leghorn" (1948) Easily my favourite Foghorn Leghorn short of the 40s with Henery Hawk not knowing what a chicken is and the rooster trying to prove he is one. Features some great character movements done by animators Manny Gould and Pete Burness.

Daily Dose of Classic Cartoons @ddofcartoons.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

4) "The High And The Flighty" (1956) My first interaction with the rooster was in this short where it's one I still enjoy watching all these years later. Seeing Foghorn Leghorn and Barnyard Dawg team up to teach Daffy a lesson from scamming the both of them makes for a quick, but satisfying ending.

5) "Raw! Raw! Rooster!" (1956) This is a short I enjoy watching and really love the Rhode Island Red character. I do enjoy the dynamic between Red and Foghorn Leghorn here as one wants to hang out with his buddy while the other is jealous of his popularity.

I say I say there's only 5 days left until a certain rooster turns 80. As such, starting from later today until the 31st, I'm going to count down my top 5 Foghorn Leghorn cartoons.

The final piece of animation I'll showcase from Ray Patterson is this scene in "The Mouse Comes To Dinner" (1945) Same comments I made previously applies here with the action and expressiveness here being the focal point while keeping the models intact, especially when Tom yells in pain here.

Time for another scene by Ray Patterson in one of my favourite T&J shorts: "Mouse Trouble" (1944) One thing I noticed with his work is that while he uses less frames here, he maintains the expressiveness of the characters, especially Tom here as he eyes grow when he sees the mouse trap failed.

Been a while since I brought up Tom and Jerry animator, let's make the animator of this month be Ray Patterson. His animation was energetic whilst reducing the amount of frames. Best example is seen here in "Trap Happy" where Tom and Butch lift up the wall and Jerry whacks their hands and toes.

Last animation by Ken Champin is one of his most beloved scenes: Sylvester going up and down the stairs signing in "Back Alley Uproar" (1948) Same stuff I said in "Kit for Kat" applies here with how Champin animates the body while characters are giving dialogue.

Here's another Ken Champin scene in "Kit for Kat" (1948) What makes this one stand out is how well-animated his scenes involving dialogue are, especially here with Elmer talking to the kitten and getting it some food. His entire body animates as he speaks.

Given it's Friz's birthday, let's make one of his animators be my choice for last month's animator of the month: Ken Champin. His work is identified where frames are being held during takes, yet he keeps the animation busy during dialogue-heavy scenes, seen here in "Ballot Box Bunny."

0264

Daily Dose of Classic Cartoons @ddofcartoons.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

Friz knew how to balance his cartoons with a story and gags. He worked with all the well-known directors when they were animators and you can tell they all learnt a thing working with Freleng. He made excellent cartoons, new characters and gave the studio a handful of Oscars. Godspeed, Mr. Freleng!

Coyote Vs Acme is screening early in the UK on Friday. Still contemplating on whether to go that day or not. Maybe I'll go on Monday, why not. Though given a lot of you won't see it till later, I'll won't go in depth with my thoughts on the film until much later.

The Zoot Cat is the reason why I bought the Blu-ray last year. I've been dying to see a restored copy of that short, among with a few others. It may not be up there as my personal favourites, but it's a blast to see both characters talking, especially once Tom plays the piano.

This cartoon is one of my favourites in the series. The train signage scene alongside a lot of noteworthy gags such as the Burmese tiger trap and the grate that Wile E sets up that doesn't work until the end makes this a blast to watch.

Really love Daffy models that McKimson made for his shorts before using Chuck Jones' models. Think the first McKimson screwball Daffy I stumbled upon was Daffy Duck Hunt. I love that cartoon to death and have rewatched it to a point where I can almost recite the whole short if you ask me.

Porky realising it's April and isn't Christmas and is about to grab the duck.
