Tooter The Turtle - The Unteachables

[handy335]

I was there in the beginning when Tooter was broadcast on Saturday mornings. He was funny then but is even funnier now because I'm old enough to actually catch the story in its fullness. Ditto Rocky and Bullwinkle which lay me out on the carpet. This stuff is brilliant.

Mr Wizared is the name of the Lizard that tooter talks to for help or info.

WTF does this have to do with Mr. Wizard?

[Leocadia13]

I loved this cartoon brings back a lot of fond childhood memories! When I was young and innocent!

[chickenwretch]

This is it! the cartoon from my childhood that fits Obama to a T!

[cheval572]

They are now doing a Remake of Tooter Turtle starring Barak Obama as Tooter with George Soros as Mister Wizard !!!

LOLOLOL

@8524frank My German mother and German grandfather always said Jews have the map of Israel all over their faces. If you google the map of Israel, it looks exactly like the face of Tooter Turtle. So, my respectful response to your comment is OPPOSITE DAY! The half-wit Tooter, who only eats animals after they are kosher-tortured, is the half-wit. The Wizard is the Wizard of Oz, member of the Master Aryan Race.

@redfordforpresident Please tell me you're not falling for that propaganda. Tooter Turtle had nothing to do with any so called 'Master Race'. This was just a very funny little cartoon. In fact, a lot funnier than lots of the crud that passes for cartoons today.

@mommadog1; I stand corrected...but I think "Tizzle Tazzle Frizzle Frome" rolls off the tongue much better...I wish "I" had been the jingle writer...

This Is So Cool.....At Least I'm Not Alone...

[1971SuperLead]

Help me Mr Wizard! I didn't think I was ever going to see this cartoon again! What a find!

[fromthesidelines]

Occasionally, writers Buck Biggers and Chet Stover (with Joe Harris' storyboards) liked to satirize current TV series, putting Tooter right in the middle of them. Besides "THE UNTOUCHABLES" {"THE LAWLESS YEARS" was another TV show, albeit short-lived, that recounted true stories of organized crime [in New York] in the late '20s}, they also managed to parody "GUNSMOKE" and "CANDID CAMERA" as well..."Black Bark" was a not-very-nice recurring character Tooter often faced...to his ultimate regret.

[exoticat]

Any kid from that generation cannot forget the voices of Mr. Wizard and Tooter Turtle. Funny that they had a mob related cartoon. Love hearing them again...thanks!

[tommieturner23]

Does anyone remember in the Matrix when Keanu is running and says "Mr. Wizard, I'm ready to come home"?

[parkman35]

Before anyone else comes on her and butchers the Lizzard Wizard's closing statement it's..

Be just vat you iz

Not vat you is not

Folks that do this

Is the happiest lot.

[JHaircutt]

I was 12 in 1960 and was telling a teenager about it and googled it Help me Mr. Wizard!!

[davidmaylen]

SUPER!!!! That really brought back some memories!

[143AC]

Entertainers:Allen Swift and Sandy Becker are the voices

of "Tooter Turtle" and"Mr.Wizard The Lizard"in this tv cartoon.

[CosworthUSA]

Wow! Thank you sooo much. I thought Mr. Wizard was gone for good. I use to watch Mr. Wizard every morning before I would go to school back in the early sixties. With Captain Kangaroo and Mr Green Jeans. Of course I only saw them in black and white. I never imagined I would get to see them in color. What great memory's. Life was so cool back then. We got to live in the best times for sure.

[ferickson]

I didn't recall the German accent of Mr. Wizard until seeing it just now again after 47 years or so. I remember the lines distinctly at the end of every episode - although part is truly gibberish, but somehow it still made sense: "Be vat you iz, not vat you iz not, folks dat iz (vat dey iz) are the happiest lot."

Thanks for preserving and spreading part of our American heritage from the golden age of cartoons. It is a national treasure - part of what is right with the world.

[pannoni1]

When cartoons had meaning and soul, not the commercialized, PC crap that newer ones have. It's a shame; the CGI graphics could had made the new ones even better, but nobody wants to risk getting in trouble at the company.

[itchybrother61]

great stuff

[karamelicousone]

lol i like this cartoon

[Elric33239]

No need to apologize. I like the 16mm opening and closing. Gave it a nostalgia feel. I'll look for more of these in the future. Great job!

[RJRanke]

Thanks for this cartoon-and for including the introduction and the closing...not like some.

There was another ending in the old King Leonardo show,when after the King and Odie saw the Tooter cartoon,Odie would quote Mr.Wizard as saying;

"Trying to be what we're not won't get us far.

"We should just try our best to be what we are."

[TheCreepyGuyNextdoor]

I used to watch this when I was a little kid. That probably explains what it wrong with me. lmao.

[crespobm]
