Seeing the Don P..."Yowp-Yowp" Dodsworth,<br /><br />Seeing the Don Patterson's animation style on the Hanna-Barbera classical cartoons, it worths a while to see how his animation (which's very angular) sounds more Tex Avery-esque. <br />We cannot forget that he worked on Universal/Walter Lantz as animator and director in the 50s (until 1959-60). As animator, he animated various shorts directed by Tex Avery, Alex Lovy and Paul J. Smith, between 1955 and 1960 (which also includes the <i>Woody Woodpecker</i> shorts directed by Alex Lovy and Paul J. Smith on this same period). <br />And, among the shorts directed by him, there's a short where he was involved on the animation, too. I'm refering to <i>Flea for Two</i> (1955 [which has the scripts done by Michael Maltese]).rodineisilveirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07751345474415214163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-65167989026301237112010-03-14T16:09:10.190-07:002010-03-14T16:09:10.190-07:00Joe, shows you how dull I am.

Evil Jr., and other non-detecting activities. <br /><br />By the mid-seventies, I came to realize that the glut of TV detectives probably forced them into such endeavors. Cannon and Ironside alone were enough to crowd them out of a room! <br /><br />To me, this cartoon always stood out because the Gopher was clearly killed in the final blast, and his ghost was going to forever haunt Mr. Culture!Joe Torciviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00421096229407174474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-72970174771523999082010-03-13T11:04:38.945-08:002010-03-13T11:04:38.945-08:00The "old pick-a-card-with-dynamite trick"...The "old pick-a-card-with-dynamite trick" scene was lifted completley from "A Bone For a Bone", a 1951 Goofy Gophers cartoon. And lots of the other material is from "Operation Rabbit".<br />The Backgrounds in this cartoon are very nice. Patt doesn't do too much with the animation in the way of funny drawings, but that Gopher has some pretty neat facial expressions. J. Horti Culture does look a lot like Patt's Fred Flintstone.Zartok-35https://www.blogger.com/profile/00449976580118722879noreply@blogger.com
