(For some reason, Boomerang only shows this one during late night hours while it runs the two Quick Draw Shorties endlessly during the day.)<br /><br />George Nicholas excelled at wide-eyed, mouth-flapping facial expressions, especially on expansive characters like Yogi, Fred and Magilla. Notable is Fred's relapse into gambling ("Bet? BET? BET-BET-BET-bet-bet-") and his all-too convincing performance as 'the Frogmouth'. And somehow, any lengthy speech of Fred animated by Nicholas would have him doff out imaginary suspenders at some point.Howard Feinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-32767199698174446022010-05-30T12:39:07.344-07:002010-05-30T12:39:07.344-07:00Roberto, it seems coincidental to me.

The first season cartoons borrow from MGM cartoons (Joe Barbera's influence) and the later stuff from Warners (Foster and Maltese at work).<br /><br />Chris, seeing stuff like this makes it sad that the cartoons took a drop just a year later. Look at the Yogi show. Snagglepuss and the annoying duck don't have this kind of expression that I can remember. Lots of heads going up and down and running cycles and not much that stands out off-hand.Yowphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09264605351878574044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-745578529107447312010-05-30T08:39:22.959-07:002010-05-30T08:39:22.959-07:00Kinda off-topic, but I was watching this Terrytoon...Kinda off-topic, but I was watching this Terrytoon yesterday called "Sno Fun," and I noticed that there was a character named Powerful Pierre in it. Is it a coincidence that there was a character in the Huckleberry Hound cartoons with the same name, or is there more to it than that? After all, Hanna-Barbera had a reputation for plagiarism and stealing other artist's ideas from what I've heard.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-81084654150805980212010-05-30T03:33:35.259-07:002010-05-30T03:33:35.259-07:00"GIMME BACK MY MEECES!"

George Nicholas is quickly becoming one of my favorite of the early HB animators because of the life he puts into the characters he was assigned to animate. I love all the cool, cartoony expressions he added to Jinks. In a way, it's kind of what Bob McKimson often tried to do when he was animating for Clampett and in his early directorial 40s efforts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-48897073690945343602010-05-29T12:29:30.468-07:002010-05-29T12:29:30.468-07:00GIMME BACK MY MEECES!
