Ali Baba Bunny premiered Feb 9, 1957, and was directed by Chuck Jones. A scene where Hassan, the dimwitted guard, slices Daffy's hat in half with his sword was deleted for CBS tv. Note the brand name on the sword is Bosko, the name of Warner Brothers' first animated recurring character.

Duckvember - Manic and Problematic Duck and Free Space - Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and Happy Holidays - Crossover Ducks

Yes, I should have posted this earlier, but I had some problems the previous days so I didn't get to it, but here I am drawing this, for the end of Duckvember that passed. The last topic was Manic and Problematic Duck and yes, I immediately thought of Daffy Duck. Already in the classic short "Ali Baba Bunny" from 1957, Daffy Duck showed his miserly and maniacal personality for money, so he drove Bugs away saying that it was all his. And that greedy Daffy is really problematic about this and that I love both greedy and jerk Daffy and I love maniacal and fun Daffy who destroys everything in front of him. Since the holidays are coming, especially Christmas and New Year, it is definitely time for presents and Daffy Duck immediately takes all the presents for himself, since he likes to be greedy with those things thinking that there is money in there. And, I took this inspiration from a drawing from Deviantart (unfortunately I can't find it or maybe it was deleted earlier :() where Daffy takes all the Christmas presents for himself from the other ducks.

Yes, I drew a crossover with ducks and wanted to add more, but unfortunately not all of them would fit. Yes, everyone is unhappy with Daffy and his bad behavior. Besides Daffy, there are also Melissa Duck, Shirley the Loon, Plucky Duck, Donald and Daisy Duck, Huey, Dewey and Louie, Scrooge McDuck, Drake Mallard (Darkwing Duck), Gosalyn Mallard and Quacker (the duck from Tom and Jerry). I also added three duck pokemon (yes, added something from anime and video games) such as Psyduck, Ducklett and Quaxly. Yeah, I'm not much of a Pokemon fan, but let me cover that part about famous fictional ducks. Of course this is comical, and I love these ducks. I still wanted to add Tino Russo, Count Duckula, Howard the Duck and Duckman, but maybe another time. And sorry for my long post. By the way, thanks everyone for an exciting month ahead and happy holidays! And I hope you like this drawing and this idea.

For those who can't see, here's a short comic: Daffy Duck: "Mine! Mine! All mine! Do you understand?! Nothing can happen to me. Hahahahaha…Give me back than! Mine! All Mine! Whoo-hoo! Hoo-oo!"

Scrooge McDuck: "And they call me Scrooge?!"

P.S. This is part of my Duckvember gift and finale to @darkwingsnark, who organized all of this and thanks to her for this. Yes, I started Duckvember last year, although I didn't succeed as much as I did this year. Yes, it's been three days, but I'm going to end Duckvember for this year with this drawing. Of course, thank you very much and I hope that maybe I will have the opportunity to participate in Duckvember next year as well. Who knows. I hope it will be ducks from other franchises. Thank you very much and happy holidays!

Jones redefined our understanding of Bugs and Daffy in a series of co-starring cartoons where Bugs’s self-knowing stasis constantly defeats Daffy’s frenetic over-reaching (e.g., 1955’s Beanstalk Bunny and 1957’s Ali Baba Bunny). Yet it was Jones’s depiction of Dafffy’s multifaceted reaction to his continuous cycle of inspiration and humiliation in the fifties "Rabbit Season" trilogy Rabbit Fire, Rabbit Seasoning and Duck! Rabbit! Duck! that drew most of the attention and sympathy.

Down the rabbit hole: “We’re in the money”

All the way back in March 2022, I was looking for a clip of Daffy Duck singing “We’re in the money”… I sounded delirious back then (not much has changed lol)

But I thought I would never find an instance of Daffy singing this song. And I was more than satisfied calling it quits as it became apparent no one had clipped an instance of this beyond his moment in Ali Baba Bugs: which in that case, wasn’t him singing it.

Months later, on September 11th, I came across footage of Daffy Duck indeed singing this song!

But… it was sang half-heartedly (unlike what my vision recalled), my spirits were appeased but I felt my subconscious might’ve failed me for thinking so critically of a voice recording that didn’t seem to exist as far as I was aware. I was more willing to accept that I won’t find this delusional Daffy cover unless I burned through every Daffy short under the sun. As foggy as my memory was, I knew that whoever sang that Daffy had to sound convincingly like Mel Blanc to my brain back in March, and it had to have seemed like an original short. So, yeah, one could say I was basically left with no other option than to slowly binge through the looney tunes shorts until I randomly come across it.

There was no instance of him singing the song in any live shows, no nothing in the commercials, it felt like I was off on a wild goose chase than a duck hunt. So yeah, I stopped actively searching for it.

And then, in a lovely tribute video to Joe Alaskey….

This cover comes from the 1997 children’s book, “Daffy Duck for President”, written and ilustrated by Chuck Jones (his last published book before his death in 2002). And Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck were voiced by Joe Alaskey.

Frankly, if this cover wasn’t the thing I somehow had in my head for the past 8 months, I’ll be certified bonkers cuz this fits the criteria of what my little dumb March self was after. Resembles a classic short, has Daffy singing passionate and resembling Mel Blanc’s voice… I’m pretty sure this is right on the money… heh.

Anyways. Thanks if ya went outta your way to read through my journey just for this 20 second clip. I can’t express it any better just how resolved I am the moment I found this. I don’t feel delusional anymore. This was an actual thing from my memory. I’m so giddy you have no idea—

Literally struck gold

#my posts #looney tunes #daffy duck #daffy duck lore #daffy duck singing we’re in the money #we’re in the money #mine mine mine #also it’s not lost on me that he says “i’ll smash the rabbit// make it a habit” #baffy senses are alive and kicking #but all that aside i really feel like making a compilation of all my favourite moments of daffy singing #or any compilation of the lts singing #but lets be real: mostly daffy

[fiction-quotes]

I poured a glass for myself, with noisette liqueur and hazelnut chips. The smell is warm and intoxicating, like that of a woodpile in the late autumn sun. Guillaume ate his religieuse with careful enjoyment, dabbing the crumbs from the plate with a moistened forefinger.

“In that case, the things I've believed all my life – about sin and redemption and the mortification of the body – you'd say none of those things mean anything, wouldn't you?”

I smiled at his seriousness. “I'd say you've been talking to Armande,” I said gently. “And I'd also say that you and she are entitled to your beliefs. As long as they make you happy.”

“Oh.” He watched me warily, as if I were about to sprout horns. “And what – if it isn't an impertinent question – what do you believe?”

Magic-carpet rides, rune magic, Ali Baba and visions of the Holy Mother, astral travel and the future in the dregs of a glass of red wine...

Florida? Disneyland? The Everglades? What about it, chérie? What about it, hein?

Buddha. Frodo's journey into Mordor. The transubstantiation of the sacrament. Dorothy and Toto. The Easter Bunny. Space Aliens. The Thing in the closet. The Resurrection and the Life at the turn of a card...I've believed them all at one time or another. Or pretended to. Or pretended not to.

Whatever you like, Mother. Whatever makes you happy.

And now? What do I believe right now?

“I believe that being happy is the only important thing,” I told him at last.

Happiness. Simple as a glass of chocolate or tortuous as the heart. Bitter. Sweet. Alive.

Muppet Babies Live - Where's Animal (1988) Trailer.mp4 from Alexa Perez on Vimeo.

Muppet Babies: Where's Animal? was the third live stage show based on Muppet Babies, produced by VEE Corporation in 1988. It was written by Bill Prady, who had previously consulted on prior Muppet Babies live shows.

In the show, the Muppet Babies decide to play hide-and-seek, and lose Baby Animal. The other Babies look for their missing friend everywhere, from the nursery to the attic to Ali Baba's cave. Throughout the show, Animal rides his tricycle across the stage while the other Muppets are looking the other way, causing the children in the audience to yell out that they can see him.

The songs included "Cotton Candy" and "The Teddy Bears' Picnic", and Baby Piggy's rendition of Madonna's "Material Girl".

The show ran for 90 minutes, with a 15-minute intermission.

VEE Corp. manager Jay Humphrey told a newspaper of the show's writing: "I mean, when these shows are written, we look at it and play devil's advocate. We'll say, 'This section's great for kids, but there's nothing here for adults.' We go back and forth with it."[1]

“You’re mine! Mine! Mine! I’ll never let anyone else have you!” (Life Story 27, 1951).  Long before the Overly Attached Girlfriend meme, “Gae” was obsessed with Terry, who had friend-zoned her.  Her schemes caused his actual girlfriend to dump him (”She had no right to him anyhow!”) but in the end Gae repents, renounces Terry, and facilitates a reconciliation between the two lovers.

Looney Tunes Home Video Thoughts #8 - Golden Jubilee 24 Karat Collection: The Character Cassettes - Bugs, Daffy, Sylvester & Tweety (1985)

October 1985 - Warner Bros. Cartoons Golden Jubilee 24 Karat Collection.

Format: VHS/Betamax

Price: $19.98

Next up in the Golden Jubilee 24 Karat Collection by catalog are the character cassettes. We will look over the first three.

This is the first time in Looney Tunes home video history that a famous character or duo is highlighted and given their own video release. It would be a practice Warner Bros./Warner Home Video uses on all future videos since 1985 and MGM/UA Home Video would follow the same practice.

This video collection, "character" and "tribute" cassettes, appear to be an answer to Walt Disney Home Video's Cartoon Classics and Limited Gold Edition videos, especially the Limited Golden Edition II collection that came out in May 1985. Golden Jubilee is priced lower at $19.98 compared to $29.95 or $44.95.

The "character" cassettes are packaged in blue. The first is "Bugs Bunny's Wacky Adventures" highlighting eight classic Bugs Bunny cartoons. A consistent performer on Billboard's Top Video Sales charts, and it received the RIAA certified gold video award after 30,000+ units were sold.

Here's Warren N. Lieberfarb, former president of Warner Home Video honoring Bugs Bunny with the award. In December 1985, Bugs became the first and only Warner Bros. cartoon character to receive his very own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Here is the front packaging of Bugs holding a carrot, and here are liner notes from film historian, Leonard Maltin.

"Bugs Bunny's Wacky Adventures" includes "Long-Haired Hare" directed by Chuck Jones where Bugs declares war on opera artist Giovanni Jones for just minding his own business.

"Bunny Hugged" directed by Chuck Jones where Bugs steps into the boxing ring to face against The Crusher.

"The Grey-Hounded Hare" directed by Robert McKimson where Bugs is fooling around at the dog race track.

"Roman-Legion Hare" co-starring Yosemite Sam and directed by Friz Freleng puts both Bugs and Sam in ancient Rome.

"Hare Do" co-starring Elmer Fudd and directed by Friz Freleng where Bugs is being chased into a theater and hilarity ensues.

"Bully for Bugs" directed by Chuck Jones has Bugs as a matador fighting against the Toro in what's considered to be one of the best bullfighting cartoons ever made, and one that proved Eddie Selzer wrong.

"Ali Baba Bunny" co-starring Daffy Duck and directed by Chuck Jones finds Bugs and Daffy take a wrong turn into a cave and they are being chased by Hassan, a guard.

The tape closes with the last of the Hunting Trilogy, "Duck! Rabbit, Duck!" co-starring Daffy Duck and Elmer Fudd, and directed by Chuck Jones. This time, it's set in the winter and Bugs just happens to have signs for goat season, dirty skunk season, pigeon season, and even mongoose season.

Overall, "Wacky Adventures" is a great collection showcasing Bugs Bunny in all sorts of different situations/places. And you can see how Chuck, Friz, and McKimson and their writing partners handle the character differently. Even the variety in character dynamics. Excellent video.

Next is "Daffy Duck: The Nuttiness Continues" (another RIAA certified Gold Video Award winner) highlighting eight Daffy Duck cartoons. This includes 2 black-and-white cartoons, 1 of them is time-compressed to make sure they all fit on one 60-minute tape. Here are Leonard's notes.

First is another Chuck Jones classic inducted into the National Film Registry, "Duck Amuck", where Daffy is tormented by an unseen animator. It's fun and unpredictable because you don't know what's gonna happen next.

Next, "The Daffy Doc" with Porky Pig, directed by Bob Clampett. One of the early black-and-white cartoons highlighted showcasing Daffy as a screwball against straight man Porky. Lots of hospital antics.

Then, the Jack and the Beanstalk lampoon, "Beanstalk Bunny" with Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd, directed by Chuck Jones.

Daffy Duck & Porky Pig parody the Sherlock Holmes/mystery genre in "Deduce You Say" directed by Chuck Jones.

The 1st in Chuck Jones' hunting trilogy with Bugs and Elmer, "Rabbit Fire". Full of clever visual gags, word play, and a twist ending so iconic.

Daffy & Porky also parody the Western movie in this short, "Drip-Along Daffy" directed by Chuck Jones.

Next up is "The Scarlet Pumpernickel" with an all-star Looney Tunes cast directed by Chuck Jones where Daffy pitches to J.L. Warner a script about a swashbuckling adventure film.

Finally, it's Daffy Duck's on-screen debut in "Porky's Duck Hunt" starring Porky Pig and directed by Tex Avery. Definitely an early Tex short as he is laying the ground for what's to come. "Porky's Duck Hunt"'s running time is 8 min. 50 sec. To make it fit on a 60-minute tape, it was sped up and time compressed by 10%, which resulted in the voices and music sped up too. It won't be until 2011 that it was properly restored on The Essential Daffy Duck DVD set.

"Daffy Duck: The Nuttiness Continues" showcases Daffy's best works in the 1950s (MGM/UA owned his 1940s color cartoons at the time) and even some rare late 30s gems. From genre parodies, to his rivalry with Bugs, and the classic "Duck Amuck", this video is perfect for Daffy fans.

The next video is "Sylvester and Tweety's Crazy Capers" highlighting eight cartoons featuring the classic cat and bird team. This includes some cartoons where Sylvester is on his own or paired up with Sylvester Jr. Here are Leonard's liner notes.

All cartoons except one of them are directed by Friz Freleng.

The video includes "Tweet and Lovely" One of the later gag based shorts where Sylvester uses different inventions to get past a bulldog guarding Tweety's birdhouse on a pole.

Next is, "Tweety and the Beanstalk" Another Jack and the Beanstalk parody where Tweety appears to be huge, and the giant says Tweety's catchphrase.

"Tree for Two" starring Sylvester in a solo outing with Spike and Chester, directed by Friz Freleng. Crazy stuff happens as a black panther escapes from the zoo.

"The Last Hungry Cat", an Alfred Hitchcock spoof. Sylvester is definitely nervous in this one as it asks, "What would happen if Sylvester finally ate Tweety?"

And with a nice change of pace is the Robert McKimson cartoon "Mouse-Taken Identity", starring Sylvester, Sylvester Jr., and Hippety Hopper. Hijinks ensue within a city museum as that king-sized mouse, a baby kangaroo, hops away from the zoo.

"In Tweety's S.O.S." , Sylvester chases Tweety who is with Granny on a boat cruise.

Then a solo Sylvester outing, "Canned Feud" where he tries to obtain a can opener from a mouse.

Closing the video is "Hyde and Go Tweet" where Tweety jumps into a bottle of Hyde formula and becomes a monster bird scaring Sylvester. A nice twist on the formula.

"Sylvester and Tweety's Crazy Capers" selection is interesting. To make sure there isn't any repetitiveness to the formula, the shorts without Tweety balance them out and allow us to see Sylvester on his own, and the Hippety Hopper short is a nice bonus. (Tweety and the Beanstalk and Tweety's S.O.S. are one of my favorites too). It's still a good tape.

That's the first three "character" tapes in the Golden Jubilee series. The Bugs and Daffy tapes are my favorites, and the Sylvester and Tweety tape serves as an example on how the tapes going forward are structured.
