[ledfloyd]

i recommend a pest in the house and punch trunk to whoever hasn't seen them. both available on youtube.

[B-side]

I'm sure I've seen plenty of these. Don't remember names or the cartoons themselves well enough to bother rating them.

Same here unfortunately.

Well the good thing about Chuck Jones is that at 7 minutes each and with availability for instant internet viewing, everyone should be able to participate.

Yeah, just watched it myself. I thought the whole set-up seemed familiar and then I remembered this was essentially an update of Hair-Raising Hare. Preferred this one though. That ether trip was hi-larious.

[Spaceman Spiff]

I'm sure I've seen plenty of these. Don't remember names or the cartoons themselves well enough to bother rating them.

Duck Amuck is amazing. If I ever get to teach a film class, I want to start out showing this on the first day and have the students pick out the elements of constructedness that we will then analyze over the course.

[B-side]

Surprised nobody pointed out to me that What's Opera, Doc? was 1957. I kinda totally ignored the "pre-1954" part.
