Elvis & Ricky Nelson,which must have influenced Bill & Joe to use a teen-aged singer in their cartoon. The influence of "The Banana Splits", no doubt was probably influenced as a "Laugh-In" Show with corny jokes & rapid-fire edits for 5-year old kids,with the Krofft Brothers hired to design those humongus life-sized animal suits. The Sour Grape Girls, who menaced the Splits in the original hour-based episodes were influenced as younger pre-teen versions of the Laugh-In Go-Go dancers (including Goldie Hawn & Judy Carne) that must have appealed to the NBC sponsors & administators. Is it hard to believe that a young Barry White as well as Gene Pitney were hired to compose at least one song apeice for the Splits' vinyl output? It's true! Just listen to Barry shout out on "Doin' The Banana Split". It's interesting. Gene Pitney, meanwhile contributed the rather oddball "Two Ton Tessie" with his writing & producing partner (at Musicor Records) Aaron Schroeder. "St. Louis" was one of the best songs on the "Hey there It's Yogi Bear " soundtrack. Marty Paitch & David Gates (Later of Bread) provided most of the music on that soundtrack, and hired a Mills-Brothers'-like R&B act named Jonah & The Wailers to perform that song. 48 years later, the song still rocks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-19754254194748865472011-03-29T23:11:06.068-07:002011-03-29T23:11:06.068-07:00Howard's probaly very correct, versus Zartok-3...Howard's probaly very correct, versus Zartok-35's claim, since not everyone, as we've often discussed regarding voices [like in the WB shorts] and the library music issue here, is credited. I mean, how many people or even staff department---background, layouts, before the forties, and in and paink (on shorts, at least), at all, were even CREDITED on the old theatricals?? :-)<br /><br />SCSteve Carrashttp://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100001249396142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-59065294111739051852011-03-17T23:26:38.489-07:002011-03-17T23:26:38.489-07:00TIM, I couldn't agree more!

Cannon may have done the effects animation. Y'know how certain WB cartoons with elaborate explosions or lightning would credit Harry Love with 'effects animation'?<br /><br />Yes, Jerry Hathcock animated all or part of the "Saint Louis" number.

He isn't credited on the feature. I believe Gerry Chinniquy did some of the dance scenes though, and Jerry Hathcock does atleast one scene of the bears singing. That always was one of my favorite scenes in the movie, and I'm glad Jerry was involved.Zartok-35https://www.blogger.com/profile/00449976580118722879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-50810508313416353302011-03-16T04:52:59.946-07:002011-03-16T04:52:59.946-07:00Man, practical jokes in the animation studios - ho...Man, practical jokes in the animation studios - how I wish I'd have been there to see half of them...not as much as we'd all love to see Tony and Alex's original storyboards, mind...<br /><br /><br />reg; the Yogi Bear costume, funny Jerry mentioned that: I recall that turned up in a Banana Splits skit. I forget which episode it was (something to do with magic, I think, but I knew that Bingo somehow turns into Yogi there before dashing out the door) as it was during the time when all the HB shows were still available on Boomerang.Chris Signorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12308489347614565068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-55559881280788808142011-03-16T04:45:50.341-07:002011-03-16T04:45:50.341-07:00Very interesting interviews.

After years of seeing the various names credited as 'Production Manager', 'Animation Director' and the like, it's nice to actually read their functions and how the various roles interact with each other.<br /><br />The JETSONS 'music video' was kind of a precursor to what would become very popular in animation in the late 60s, i.e. a soft rock song heard under quick cuts of all kinds of abstract images. H-B, Filmation and Rankin-Bass would employ this concept in their series centering around rock groups- either manufactured (the Banana Splits, Archies, Groovie Ghoulies, Brady Kids) or real (the Jackson 5ive, the Osmonds).<br /><br />I had no idea Bobe Cannon was behind the "Eep-Eep-Ork-Ah-Ah" since, as far as I remember, his name doesn't appear in the credits for that episode. But then, episode-specific end credits for THE JETSONS have been missing since 1983!Howard Feinnoreply@blogger.com
