"Mortin, you are a mental case." lol. I bust out laughing when they try and take on Alice and Trixie. I love how Mortin tries to escape and the cat pulls him back in. Mortin's like, fuck this!!! I also love how immediately after, Ralph shouts out, "Help Mortin!!!!". Like where are you going?!?! lmao
Anyone else notice that the cat's in these pictures always have 1 blue or black eye and 1 red eye? Doesn't matter the color of the cat, though the light brown one is the funniest.
Ginney Tyler was named a Disney Legend in 2006 for her work as part of Disneyland Records stock company, her live performances in Disneyland and her voice work on The Sword in the Stone and Mary Poppins.
This was the last of the post-1948 cartoons to have been syndicated to local TV stations; I think it was part of the 156-film "Porky & His Friends" package first offered in 1969.
@knowallcity The addiction program in SF takes its name from Delancey Street on the LES of Manhattan. (Which actually runs parallel to Hester, but that's a picky detail.)

Not at all. She's pretty close to Julie in some spots, but then you hear something that doesn't sound like her. Steve directed me to a couple of Disney records that Ginny Tyler was on in the late 50s and it sounds like the same voice.
The voice that has me stumped is the title character in the Pixie and Dixie cartoon 'The Mark of the Mouse.' Whoever it is is one of the rare non Messick-Butler voices that season. Tyler and Red Coffey did some voices and whoever did the 'Mark' role.
Julie Bennett was heard in several Warner Bros. cartoons during this period, including this one. She voiced everyone else that Daws Butler didn't (it was economically infeasible for the studio to have June Foray to deliver a 'cat growl" or two, while using Julie). The reason they didn't receive screen credit, of course, was because of Mel Blanc, whose contract stipulated his was the ONLY voice credit that could appear on screen (this changed by 1962).
Steve, I've just listened to Ginny on an old Disney record narrating Lady and the Tramp. Yeah, I'd say that's her. And you've solved another mystery as it's the same woman who played the mom in the Yogi cartoon 'Daffy Daddy' from what I can hear.
I don't think it's June doing the cat. Listen at 4:57. June has a bit more bite to her finish. Same as the first cat meow; it's a bit lighter than June to my ear. Does Graham Webb say it's June?
My copy of "The Anbimated Film Encyclopedia [Graham Webb, McFralne Press], has Virginia Tyler, aka Disneyland record narrator Ginny Tyler, also in H-BN's Space Ghost, and Dave mackey's [2005Dave's site] had Juie Bennett last time I checked. June is the cat though.
It was like both women were using their natural speaking voice...and possibly why they only appear near the end of the cartoon and not throughout. So, i think they grabbed some women from the ink and paint department and had them read the lines since it wasn't a big part and to bring in June Foray or another voice actress for a few lines would've been a bit extreme.
Similarly, Mel Blanc did some lines for Elmer Fudd rather than have Arthur Q Bryan come in for a few lines.
I think Warners was well past the "ink and paint actress" stage of the early 30s by then. Whoever it is sounds professional and would have done the cat voice earlier. The 'Alice' voice sounds like someone doing Alice and wouldn't sound that way normally.
I didn't realise there were Blanc did Fudd before Bryan died, other than yelling in 'What's Opera Doc.'
Mel did a few lines of Elmer in "The Scarlet Pumpernickel", the Daffy Duck cartoon. Scarlet goes into a tavern of some kind and Elmer greets him with a few words about being honored that his establishment was being visited.
After Arthur Q Bryan passed away, though, Hal Smith did the voice in one cartoon and then I believe they retired the character even though Mel would do the voice whenever the character appeared in anything new in the years that followed.
Thanks, AC. It's been so long since I've seen Pumpernickel. When I was kid, I though the name of the novel it was based on was Pumpernickel, too. Who's ever heard of a Pimpernel anyway?
Hal must have done at least two Elmers because I've posted them. He wasn't a good choice; his voice is a couple of tones too high and his Fudd laugh is too forced.
"the quiet as church mice", "quiet as a church mouse" reference is simply a joke about respecting a church so much you remain quiet while the preacher is talking. so, the joke is, mice are rather quiet anyway, but when they're in a church they're extra quiet. it's a corny joke.
it's like the old joke about the hunting dog that was constantly barking while on the hunt for a rabbit but suddenly stops barking for two minutes and the reason being the dog was running across posted land.

This was inspired the Honeymooners and so was the Flintstones.

I rather thought they sounded like Fred and Barney from the Flinstones.

If Morton sounds a bit like Yogi Bear it's because Daws Butler is the voice, but
in fact, Yogi Bear was based on Ed Morton on the Honeymooners.

Hi, FTSL. It's definitely not Julie in this one. I think Steve has it correct when he says it's Ginny Tyler; the voice matches hers to my ear.
