Nowadays, Now That Summer Is Gone and maybe Daffy Duck and Egghead are the only ones that get steady airplay. It’s great to see that a lot more are continuing to surface.I’ve been collecting these Lobby Cards for 40 years. Cocteau wanted another scandal like that created by Stravinsky’s “The Rite of Spring” a few years earlier — and he got it!Great post. Merrie Melodies 1937-38: More Old Friends By the end of the 1937-38 season, Warner Brothers cartoons were looking and sounding much like we would expect them to look and sound. The eccentric Satie wrote mainly for the piano, and he was noted for giving his works oddball titles like “Flabby Preludes” and “Bureaucratic Sonata.” It’s possible that Anderson got the idea for his own “typewriter music” from Satie.It is possible, Rollo, and Anderson would at least have been aware of Satie’s work.
Dog Daze has always been a personal favorite of mine. The weasel, irritated at this point, decides to let the ostrich go. However, Jean Cocteau, who wrote the scenario for the ballet, added the typewriter and others noisemakers to the score over Satie’s objections, so he deserves credit for that particular innovation. That musical number from “Ready, Willing and Able” really is “too marvelous for words!” I love the giant typewriter set, and the novel use of typewriters as percussion instruments. Anderson’s “Typewriter” was also featured in the Jerry Lewis comedy “Who’s Minding the Store?” as well as an episode of “Here’s Lucy”.Does anybody remember “Bei mir bist Du schoen” being used in a root beer commercial?Long before Leroy Anderson did, the French composer Erik Satie used a typewriter in an orchestral piece in the 1920’s. It doesn’t feel like a WB cartoon, despite it’s sound premise for one.When I first saw Hollywood Hotel, I was surprised on how Johnny Davis’ handsome appearance contrasted the meek looking character he voiced in Katnip Kollege. All of a hen's eggs hatch, but one of them turns out to be an ostrich. The most famous example of that is Leroy Anderson’s 1950 composition “The Typewriter” for solo typewriter with symphony orchestra, a favourite of the Boston Pops under Arthur Fiedler. !Going over to the Daily Beast side and clicking on the audio for “As Easy As Rolling Off a Log”, I noticed the vocals on the audio track here are not exactly the same as the vocals for the same part of the song in the cartoon. This 1937 Merrie Melodies short stereotypes pigs as gluttonous, insatiable beings whose mortal sins have explosive consequences. I have about a third of them in my personal collection and I’m using them to illustrate these posts. His girlfriend leaves the hole last, watched by a jealous rat. I believe “We’re Working Our Way Through College” plays through the first scene of Maw teaching her children.This was the season when at least some of the Merrie Melodies got away from the problem Friz Freleng complained about, where the cartoon would have to stop dead for a musical number, and started figuring out better ways to either incorporate the music directly into the story, or have the music be used more in the background, so it didn’t interfere with the story. Both the Songs: the “William Tell Overture – The Storm”; “Summer Night”; “Speaking of the Weather” (introduced in Songs include “My Little Buckaroo” with special lyrics, sung by prairie dogs. (Ditto for Tashlin’s book-come-to-life cartoons).Out of curiosity, where can these lobby cards be found? The weasel is singing while he prepares to cook the ostrich. A "blind" mouse points th… He turns on the lights and then calls his other mouse friends out to party. Warners seems to be favoring the ’40s and ’50s shorts, when the Looney Tunes style as we know it now was firmly established, and ignoring the formative ’30s cartoons, when the studio was still finding its groove. It was later heard in “The Gay Anties”.Great post. He gets stuck after eating a goldfish, then falls into an basement where he swallows a car jack whole, then has a run-in involving a worm and a lawn sprinkler, and last but not least is captured by a weasel. I think “A Sunbonnet Blue” was 2216. They’re so fascinating to look at.
