Duck! Rabbit Duck! “Look! I’m a fiddler crab! Why don’t you shoot me?! It’s fiddler crab season!”
Don’t get me wrong… there are a lot of qualitiy toons in there, but these seem like such no brainers… they were even referred to in the various documentaries in the collection. Sheeeeesh! I can only assume there will be a “Golden Collection” Volume 2 next year…
That’s exactly what they said they were going to do. There was a story a few months ago where they talked about how they had some 1500 cartoons of which 400 were great 100 were crap and whatever number they had for all the middle rankings. Anyway they said they didn’t want to blow everything in their first release. I’m guessing they wont blow it all in the 2nd release either.
Although the one I’m shocked about is “A Wild Hare.” Seems like a complete no-brainer to include the first real Bugs Bunny cartoon.
Grab a fence post, hold it tight,
Womp your partner with all your might.
Hit him in the shin, hit him in the head,
Hit him again, the critter ain’t dead.
Wop him low and wop him high,
Stick your finger in his eye.
Open up the door and step right in,
Close the door and into a spin.
Whirl, whirl, twist and twirl,
Jump all around like a flyin’ squirrel…
