Anyone who has ever been bullied can identify. Rusty is horrendous.

Hippies. Man do I ever dislike hippies aftermarket and otherwise. So did Leary & Liddy.

From 1975-1979, I used to watch this show when I lived in Buffalo, on channel 9 CFTO out of Toronto, at 5Am on Saturday. Also professor Kizel and Pinocchio! This is the BOMB! Great posting! Thanks!!!!

[amcanmike]

this must be canadian production

[zim1966]

these were made by Rankin & Bass in the early 60's,same w/ the new adventures of Pinochio.

I used to watch this on CKND in Winnipeg back in about 1983, 1984. I'd almost forgotten about it!

Wookie72: There may have been no 'hippies' but the establishment could still be frightened of the beatniks.

Anyone notice that Rusty Tinman has a two-sided mouth instead of three-sided in this one? I am pretty sure it's cause the show was produced so a single animator could animate an entire episode, and they probably had four or five animators, and the one here always drew Rusty this way (this probably explains why the show reuses a lot of old animation like "Scooby-Doo Where Are You")

[hutjir]

Good question.

[wookie72]

I'm wondering if Rusty was an influence on Bender?

[wilek209]

Could be likely!

this was a great stoner cartoon if you don't think it had a impact on society then you live in a real little world .Just as in all cartoons are from the philosophy of the creaters and yes they did do things in them to influence the peoples mind . look at the simpsons and family guy ,people quote from them and dohhh is in the dictanary now.this is one of many that started the revolution .that's all folks da da da dah da dah dah dah da da dada dahhhhh.lol

[Tazzman]

One has to wonder if any station is airing these?

[HaggisMcCrablice]

@Tazzman -- Yes--the Retro Network airs them as interstitials between its Filmation block shows on Saturdays...but it cuts the opening and close creds, which I think is my favorite bit.

[brownsugah66]

I use to watch this show in'69.I was only 3 but remember it very clearly.Loved it...

[billiey61]

that was a tribute to all us hippies to grow are hair long and not go to war...what a great influence... love the classics.

[wookie72]

Dude, it was 1961... Hippies didn't exist then.

[RobertIngersoll]

What a brilliant show this was. I used to watch it at 6am on Saturday mornings in Toronto.

Thanks for posting this!
