If they knew it was the final WB cartoon, here's how I would've ended it:
Right after it fades out after Cool Cat's "So cool it now, ya hear?" we'd get some kind of tribute title card, "THAT'S ALL, FOLKS! THANKS FOR 40 YEARS OF LOONEY ENTERTAINMENT!" with the WB characters around it waving good-bye as maybe some kind of fanfare plays, then we'd get the standard Warner/7-Arts closing sequence.
@everyoneclaimingracism nowadays, now that we've seen the civil rights movement happen and now everyone--not just whitey--is allowed to make racist comments and pass it off as "humour" (because it's funny), i don't see much of a problem with this cartoon. Btw, the pale-/pail-face joke was ripped from rocky & bullwinkle's Mr Know-It-All on indians 10 years prior, tho i'm sure they ripped it off too
i wondered why i never heard of Cool Cat when i started watching this. By the end, i understood. Reminds me of the Aardvark and the Ant cartoons from the Pink Panther show: a bunch of one-off jokes that COULD be funny if they worked them out a bit more, or used less explaining and just got to the punchline. No real conflict or goal either, just random indians trying to fuck with him. Tho injun Groucho was funny
Now I see why WB cartoons shut down after this. This is terrible, They started becoming like the late Tom and Jerry cartoons, plus this looks like it was made for TV, not the theaters. Such a shame they refused to use any classic characters after 1967, and focused on Cool Cat and a few "one-cartoon wonders"
I've always thought 'Cool Cat' has got some influence of Friz Freleng's 'Pink Panther'. By the way, Freleng was one of WB main animation directors for a long time.
And in a way, this is a fitting swan song to the whole WB canon. The very first Looney Tune (Sinkin' in the Bathtub) also starred a now-obscure short-lived character, without Bugs, Daffy or Mel Blanc in sight.
This is only a bad cartoon if you compare it to the Looney Tunes of the late 30's, 40's and 50's, when they were unqualified animated perfection. Compare this to contemporaneous animation of other studios (Filmation and Hanna-Barbera in particular) and it's a masterpiece.
the guy has done what I did: get the Spanish version with the clean pic & then match the sound to it, I posted this on wikipedia years ago! nice typical 60s toon no shadows artwork
Well all the LT/MM made between 1930 and 1969 are considered to be part of something called the golden era of WB animation, that does not mean they were made during the golden age of animation, just the original era of WB animation, and I wouldn't say the golden era of animation ended that long ago. Remember the greatest theatrical piece of animation ever made, Whats opera doc was made in 1952. This one I actually think is not half-bad, compared to all the other CC ones.
I miss Cool Cat and other cartoons from that era... I sometimes worry that America will end up with even LESS classic Cartoons unless we get a sense of humor about ourselves.:/
Gee, I guess the 'politically correct guidelines' that prevented future cartoons from doing stuff like the scenes with the Native Americans hadn't been invented yet. Probably not until the 1970s or 80s.
On a side note, love the Grouch Marx Native American! "I know how, now I wanna know why." XD I wonder if people from the 1960s got the reference?
Hardly a cartoon worth going out on. The last great Merrie Melodie cartoon had to be "What's Opera, Doc?" and that was made about 10 years before this piece of shit came along.
Racial content aside, Cal Howard's story structure is such an astonishing throw-back! Up until 2:22, it seems like the cartoon has a standard story line. Then, it abruptly shifts to vaudeville-style puns and blackout comedy bits. (Pretty lame stuff, at that.) But I like the ending, because, since this is the last of the old-time Looney Tunes, Cool Cat was literally "cuttin' out".
"So cool it, now, ya hear?" = "That's All, Folks!"
I wonder who should be madder about the "Wanna Indian wrestle?" line, "Native Americans" or feminists...va-va-va-voom. More of a string of visual gags and puns than a single cohesive plot, it's nonetheless better than most of what basic cable excretes nowadays....
I already saw this for the 1st time, but with audio commentary, on Dailymotion (though I still could make out a majority of the dialogue despite the commentary over it). I hate to say it, but I think both versions of the Daffy Duck featurette Scalp Trouble and Slightly Daffy are much more racist than this, regardless of the moments with Daffy. This may not be the best, but it's still better than most of the Daffy and Speedy shorts, I'd consider it average. Anyway, thanks for posting/adding this.
How'd you manage to get any copy of this? I thought this WB cartoon featurette would never appear on here. I agree, it's racist and mean-spirited, but this is among some toons of this kind of which I'm ambivalent towards, so in this case, it's a guilty pleasure for me. And on certain others, I can't get with them as easily at all, therefore they're kind of hard to say the same about them. It depends on the degree of how un-pc they are and where I stand on them vary.
@Trainlover301 Again, I'm not really saying cartoons like these are totally racist and mean-spirited or even to a certain extent at all. Since I'm still kind of on the fence about these. Sure, some of us could say that it isn't necessarily true that they're mocking any race. But alright, let me ask you something: How do or would you feel about or if people of the same ethnicity as yours were being lampooned? You wouldn't mind and you'd be okay with that? Just wondering how you'd react to that.
@Trainlover301 I agree, I like the injun cartoons, but the nigger cartoons are more funny! Check out the black bugs bunny! LOL! DAM PC and bring back the nigger cartoons WB did.
Twas the first time for me. I mean, this thing has a lot of jokes used in days gone by. Even lame puns, too, like riding bare-back, or the FINAL Joke, cutting out of the picture, literally. I mean, Cool Cat never got so much abuse like this, when dealing with Rimfire.
From start to finish (not counting after 1975), I think Warner Bros.'s animation actually outdid most other animation studios, even into the 60's. Yes, they retrogressed a bit in terms of animation, music, and even plot, but if you compare to the other studios of the time, they always have a bit more quality to them.
...Except for the very early '30s, when Disney and Fleischer definitely had better animation because they were older studios.
The show was not funny at all but the fact it was banned is ridiculous. That makes native Americans look far too sensitive. I remember when they suddenly removed all references to native Americans in schools. We were The Warriors but now were cats er something. Bullshit.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
This goes to show how racist people are, even today. This kind of stuff is not OK. What is it really showing us. that its Ok to make fun of a group of people.
@Relik632 Actually, this was made back in 1970 when it was OK to be racist against people. Things have changed today. So, this short is considered "politically incorrect" today
This was a remake of a 1938 short with Porky Pig and it was made in 1969 and it was last official theatrical cartoon ever made for the studio. Pretty good cartoon for its time, and it was their last laugh.
It has the same title as the 1938 Porky Pig cartoon, but, otherwise, it is no relation to that film.
The other "Injun Trouble" had a completely different storyline and situation; it took place in the old west and had Porky battling the mighty "Injun Joe"
This cartoon seems to be set in(then) contemporary times, with spot gags involving various Indians.
"Injun Trouble" (1938) WAS remade in 1945 as WAGON HEELS.
one of the best CC cartoons. one thing i really like in this is how Cool Cat speaks a lot unlike in the shorts with Colinel Rimfire (though having a relationship with Bugs and Elmer, Bugs speaks often) but here Cool Cat just chats the cartoon away hilariously. "INDIAN GIVER!!!" LMAO
Good cartoon, but NO relation to the 1938 Porky Pig cartoon of the same name, which was remade as "WAgon Heels".
Anyhow, there's NO reason(IMO anyhow) for anyone to be offended by these kind of cartoons. They were meant for enjoyment and nothing else. Most of the main characters in this film just HAPPEN TO BE Indians. This is pure comedy, that's all.
A just plain bad cartoon not up to Warner Bros standard !
