From 1958 comes the first cartoon to accumulate an Emmy award, the second wretchedness of the pioneering duo Bill Hanna and Joe Barbera, and one of the best-loved cartoons of all time. My title is a line from the theme song of the unusual dim and white Kellogg’s sponsored reveal with Cornelius Rooster from Kellogg’s Corn Flakes in the opening scene, which is reconstructed in the “Special Features” portion. Hanna-Barbera has gone all out on this collection, even including a lithoed animation cel. This site barely fits the “Golden Collection” format, however; the four disc pack barely fits in the sleeve and the fourth DVD is double sided to absorb all the special features.

Following the Ruff and Reddy Exhibit, this was Hanna-Barbera’s second foray into bringing cartoons to the diminutive camouflage using shrimp animation to meet the worthy smaller budget for TV shows. Hence, it plays like radio, with Don Messick narrating and Daws Butler voicing a cornocopia of characters, whose dialogue he called “pure butter.” Visually, the reveal is also a feast, if a minimalist one, with smart, luminous colors, novel background beget, witty writing and such unforgettable stars as Huck, Yogi, Boo Boo, Pixie and Dixie and Mr. Jinks.
Here’s the ground-breaking indicate that established Hanna-Barbera, state the standard for TV ‘toons, and inspired the retro peer of Cartoon Network’s “Two Unimaginative Dogs,” Dexter’s Lab,” and “Johnny Bravo,” designed as cartoon tributes by such animators as Genndy Tartakovsky and Scott Shaw who fancy the peep of classic H-B. When this explain aired in its 6:30 PM time slot in Current York, adults and college kids made up a tremendous percentage of its 16 million viewers, and I can imaging kids taking to Huck as they have to another H-B hound, Scooby Doo.

I’m thrilled that the guys and gals at Warner have decided to release this enormous series on DVD. It has rarely been shown in unique decades on TV. I remember watching it along with the Yogi Believe Indicate and the Quickdraw MacGraw Explain when I was very young in the early 60s. I never forgot that opening theme. It forms fragment of a tapestry of astounding childhood memories, and I could not wait to hear it again after all these years.
When I got Volume 1, I quick ripped off the cellophane and opened the packaging. Actually, it wasn’t that speedily. The quadruple accordion-folded packaging holding the discs was stuffed into the plastic sleeve like the proverbial two pounds of baloney in a one-pound bag, so tightly, indeed, that it took some trying to net it out (Hint: Bear by both sides with originate waste down and shake) . WB people: fix this on Volume 2.
When you assign in the first disc and play the first episode from the main menu, you will behold, to your panic, that the recent opening theme is absent. Neither the familiar opening nor the closing are included in any of the episodes on the main menu on any of the discs. DON’T Awe! They are actually included in the special features piece on discs 1 and 4.
Besides the 6 episodes on disc 1, the special features fragment also has episodes 2 thru 6 in “reconstituted” design, that is, exactly the map they were originally broadcast, with the unusual opening and closing themes and bumpers between the Yogi, Pixie & Dixie and Huck toons. Seeing these episodes with their associated introductory and concluding themes and commercial plugs gave me that warm and fuzzy feeling I got as a five-year-old watching my well-liked shows upright before bedtime. The opening and closing themes on the disc were also fuzzy, and in unlit & white. I guess the WB crew couldn’t gather a decent color print, which is intriguing, since Huck appeared on cable and satellite recently and the opening and closing themes were there in color, albeit with the Kellogg’s commercial stuff edited out. However, the opening/closing themes in the reconstituted episodes are complete with the Kellogg’s commercial plugs. Friendly! The premiere episode that appears on disc 1 is also presented in the special features piece on disc 4 in reconstructed obtain as well. I know I am being a bit ungrateful here, but I wish they had done the same with all of the episodes on all of the discs. WB people: can you please do this on disc 2? (This is not an philosophize for a kid experiencing these toons for the first time, but for us 40-somethings who remember the novel broadcasts, it is a immense deal!)
Anyway, WB shoud be commended for bringing support this series. But having released The Yogi Maintain Note and The Huckleberry Hound Demonstrate, WB must now complete the trilogy by releasing The Quickdraw MacGraw Indicate (my well-liked) .
A couple of reviewers have commented upon the color of the Huck display vs. the Loony Tunes cartoons. My comment on this should be of interest to those who are into photography. Huck is a bit subdued and washed out as compared to Loony Tunes. This is not because the artists at Hanna-Barbera dilapidated less vibrant colors than the guys at Warner Brothers. If you survey at production cells from both, they are equally vibrant and have the same punch. The contrast lies in the film feeble to reproduce these drawings. Loony Tunes was filmed in Technicolor, Huck was not.
Technocolor reproduces colors with greater accuracy and richness than ordinary film and has big archival permanence.
The colors of photographic emulsion layers in ordinary color film are unstable and go over time. A print made from a typical color negative that is 20 years customary will discover red and old-fashioned. In difference, the silver halide forming the emulsion of sad and white film is very stable. An image snapped on unlit & white film today will fabricate a print impartial as fine 200 years from now. The same applies to color reversal (whisk) film, which is the same as movie film.
What does murky & white film have to do with the color debate herein? The fact that most people don’t know is that a Technicolor movie is essentially filmed on Gloomy & White film. A Technicolor camera runs two strips of monochrome film at the same time side by side. A prism splits the light coming in through the lens into two beams. One beam passes through a blue/green filter and exposes one of the strips; the other passes through a red filter and exposes the other strip. The film is developed and the result is two identical series of images on two different strips of shaded & white film, except that the tonal values are different. The strips are then dyed with photographic ink that is considerable more stable than emulsion dyes, one strip with blue/green ink, the other with red ink. The two strips, which are each half the thickness of ordinary film, are bonded together in perfect register and a comely chunky color image emerges. Technicolor is a very expensive process compared to ordinary film, but it produces images that are obliging to ordinary film and which last mighty longer. Also, Technicolor prints are grand less susceptible to pain from deplorable storage methods than ordinary film.
This is why non-Technicolor films from the 1970s peruse worse than Technicolor films from 1939. Ogle at re-runs of The Unusual Couple from the 70s or the Dukes of Hazzard from the 80s. Kind of washed out and crappy. Inspect at episodes of Bonanza from the early 60s. They examine like they were filmed yesterday. Bonanza was filmed in Technicolor. So this is why Huck and Yogi today do not have the same color richness as the Loony Tunes cartoons.
Kudos, WB! I hope you guys net to read these reviews. Now, Bag TO WORK ON QUICKDRAW MacGRAW!
