Die Marx Brothers MGM

Tanner the lion

[SimuLord]

Zeppo was the best straight man Groucho ever had. The actors they got to play that role in the MGM films (from A Night at the Opera onward) were never as good as Zeppo was playing that same role (especially in Duck Soup).

[ChiuahuaTubeALT]

That is one strange lion... could he be the early Tanner?

[Happyhound62]

The BEST slapstick comedy team with wit and humor of all time: The Marx Brothers!!!

[CharlieChaplinsAngel]

[bloodshotclam]

Marx for the Marx's Sake.

00:00 Tanner The Lion?

[C3Z4rtv]

'He doesn't roar, he doesn't talk, he honks... HARPO MARX.'

[EdwardMrCahill]

lion turns into a man

[blake2go]

All brilliant, but for Zeppo who rode the coat tails.

But great guys to let him even ride.

[nekozombie0]

@blake2go He was just the straight man and became a very successful agent

[soulonice858]

@blake2go

Supposedly, Zeppo was the funniest Marx brother, but he just came into the group too late to develop his character so he got stuck placing the "straight man".

But, I don't care if he was the funniest man in the world! I still don't like Zeppo.

[CharlieChaplinsAngel]

@soulonice858 that's true. everyone said he was as funny as groucho on stage. But i agree, i dont like him very much. Groucho's my favorite :)

[paulfunI]

This is really funny!

[psikachu]

HARPO THE BEST OF ALL MARX BROTHERS!!!

[TimmyGal]

Love Harpo!! Leave it to him to do something creative like that! LOL!

[Headless425]

HONK!

[Makanai3]

Awesome!!!!!

[geekyvince]

Harpo Rules!

[FrznRats]

I <3 Harpo.

[dreamcicle19772006]

This is too funny!! In the very beginning of the logo, the lion looked a lot like Tanner, from the color version.

[Tkot2326]

Myeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's just so funny!

[Notar89]

Up for Harpo

[jeromebarona]

They Used The Mask Of Jackie Because The B&W Spot

Is For Jackie And Slats The Lion

[dcleonardo]

No. I don't care about men.

[jeromebarona]

Oh Get It While He Not As The 1st Growl

Not Loud

[Rocker2727fuxRockers]

LOL poor harpo

[HomeoftheGoodGuys]

Harpo doesn't roar, he honks using his horn.

[TreyBenjamin]

tANNER IS IN jACKIES area

[theperfectone121212]

tanner must have been pissed in this one,he looks like he could murder someone.

[jeromebarona]

Why Tanner Has A Angry Growl

[lemonsters2008]

Because this sounds like Tanner's growl. His sister was not angry, she's better. Kitty told Tanner not to go to a different lion's area. A different lion's name is Robinson Crusoe.

[jeromebarona]

Tanner The Lion Lost My Way

[TreyBenjamin]

Why was Tanner in here and why did he have a different growl?

[LogicalSmash]

The lion is burping!

[eblackadder3]

This was made to open "A Night At The Opera" but never used because MGM exec(s) (Probably Louis B. Mayer) felt it would cheapen the trademark. Of course, MGM went on to parody the trademark in several films and cartoons since.

[zeldabaloney2007]

Can someone upload the extended version of the MGM logo featuring Tanner?

[heart1987]

Tanner the II

[sayward12]

I don't why but when i heard of this, I thought cartoon versions of the brothers would roar at the lion, teasing it.

[zeldabaloney2006]

Pretty boring.

[heart1987]

That lion looks like Tanner

[cpvgc80]

lol

[multiaveraged]

hahaha

[inkedwell]

I've never seen the lion pictured in this logo before. Looks like it was after Slats, but before Tanner. And it definetly doesn't look like Jackie.

[meesterfonnyboy]

You're right, I've never seen him anywhere else. This was Jackie's era and medium (b/w), but it definitely wasn't Jackie. Maybe they use this guy for trailers only? (This was, after all, a trailer.)

[JDDS21]

what's this from?

[kuroro666]

Is the 1935 movie A Night at the Opera

[meesterfonnyboy]

Actually, it's from the trailer advertising that film. (I think the "Marx Gratia Marxes" motto was a nice touch!)

[YoshiAngemon]

That's just weird. Of course, it's possibly funny, because Harpo's horn replaces the roar.
