Fox Pop - Warner Brothers Cartoon (1942)

[kakarrot777]

i haven't seen this cartoon in years. this cartoon i've seen was originally in black and white. those were good times. even though i saw this in black and white in the 90s.

[themadhackermatt]

Early PETA!



[HomeoftheGoodGuys]

This cartoon was originally released in 1941 as a "Looney Tune" and it was in black & white, but it was later re-released in around 1945 or 1946 in the "Blue Ribbon Merrie Melodies" and it was remade in color instead of black & white.

[boru25]

Kinda over doing it with the cut troat sound. It's a bit annoying to listen to.

[GhettoKarter1992]

4:23-4:28, was the animator Rod Scribner done this and then swapped to I think Ben Washam (???) at 4:29

[TraceurMeeka]

Haha noob leaves the cage gets the key and goes back in hahaha

[rawn170689]

Just found another cartoon where this fox (or at least a similar) appear in!

It`s called "The Unbearable Bear" (1943). In this cartoon the fox is a burglar...

[mag237]

Edric Radage animated the scary look on the fox (0:19)

[rawn170689]

What a cute fox : )

I don`t understand why anyone would want to kill animals just for their fur. Kinda disgusting wearing a corpse anyway.

Looks like they forgot to draw the black stripe on his head sometimes...

Sad that this is the only cartoon he appears in, and that he has no name...

[HomeoftheGoodGuys]

I have this short from one of the Public Domain DVD's, but it has the original end title, the end title with the "Dubbed Version" disclaimer is shown here.

[XxhdgdlyugiohXx]

I've one question!

I had a video, with this film on it, but it's lost....-.- Do anyone know, how the video is called...or..WAS called? I would like to know it, because I loved this old cartoons so much!

On the video were 2 or 3 more films, too.

Thank you a lot!

[legsbluetrain]

There is a cartoon with a young duck and an old goat in a wheelchair with a cast.Near the end,the duck was trying to kill a fly with a hammer and the fly lands on the cast & the goat shoos the fly away.Then the duck ends up hitting the cast anyway then the goat gets into the case and at the end they end up in a picture,goats head on the person with the ax,duck's head on the person getting his head cut off.What's the name of that one?

[Ascensiam]

Lol! the big ones could squeze through the bars if they wanted to, that's what makes it hilarious.

[jessica29406]

6:35-6:38 lol. What's the point of running out of the cell to grab the key, just to run back in and unlock the door?

Gotta love the classics<3.

[ianhuerta]

WHAT IS THE FOX'S NAME ?

[roxef]

@ianhuerta

I doubt he had a name, it was a one-short character

[MWolfL]

I hate animals getting killed for fur, but despite that I always liked this cartoon for three reasons:

1. It officially reveals the animal's hatred of being turned into clothing (hopefully this cartoon changed a few people's minds about buying fur)

2. I like the scene the red fox imagines since I wouldn't mind a *pet* fox curled around my neck (no dead foxes for me)

3. It introduced me to silver foxes, I had only heard of red and arctic foxes before I first watched this cartoon

[fajiste]

silver shmilver as long as hes a fox!

[grizabella626]

I find it interesting that even the animators of old thought to themselves, "how do the foxes feel about being made into clothing?"

[dospooks]

What does "nine o'clockle" mean? (~5:20)

[roxef]

"nine o'clock or... *krhh* "

by the way my favourite looney tunes/merrie melodies cartoon

[dospooks]

@roxef

Thanks, that makes sense. I've been wondering about that for more than 30 years. This is a good one, but my favorite is probably the one with "this time, we didn't forget the gravy...".

[alhex123]

where can i find these in dvds??

[mominator822]

Ragids muffin..... scram stupids.... I love it

[baxterfilms]

4:55 They had a snippet of the "That's all Folks!" music

[breezyanne80]

Great cartoon! I used to have this on VHS. It had a bunch of older cartoons on it. Anybody know where I can get this on DVD?

[springofpiesucks]

holy fuck this is a great cartoon!

[mannwhosoldtheworld]

best comment ever!

[FilmTraum1]

Good cartoon! And stop to animal fur farms!!

[Tails41347]

I agree. x3

[penaloza7]

I've never quite understood the ending to that cartoon..

[Snakeskinsaddle]

fuck the ending, lmao its funny as fuck... ROFL 0:49 IS THAT FOX CRAZY? LMFAO - hey you, hey wait a minute? whats biting you now? LMAO

[pcabsturz]

the radio tells the people to wear silver fox fur so he destroys this radio symbolically because it's telling bad things i guess

[dionysoscub]

Basically, the crows were so horrified by everything the fox went through they decided to help him destroy the rest of the radio

[dayjob51]

I grew up with these toons. I remember my mom and I sitting, laughing ourselves silly. Kids today are getting ripped-off with the craptoons they're pushing. Too Bad!! Boy do I mean that...real bad. I noticed a "1942 my ass" comment. Yep...1942. I saw this one in the 50's.

[CommanderIX]

So nice fox in cartoon is very expensive.

[livishyne]

i love this video and had it too as a lil girl...

[gunithustla22]

dis my shit i got this on tape

[Dustylove]

Nice cartoon!!!

[cod4boy45]

1942 my ass

[AdmiralXolzo2]

I always loved this toon.

[kuryiaki]

Is this a Lou Costello voice (fox) ??????

[Dustylove]

It sounds like him but its most probably Mel Blanc

[ThylacineAli]

Cool cartoon. Never been a fan of Looney Toons but it's nice to see a fox being the good guy instead of a bad guy.

[SIMPFANN]

@ThylacineAli How the HELL could you not be a fan of Looney Tunes?! Everybody loves Looney Tunes, I mean come on! This is classic stuff!

[ThylacineAli]

Well... I do like it. I like Wil. E Coyote in paticular. I only really like the cartoons with the animals.

[solesirching73]

Silver shmilver!! As long as you're a fox!!

[SteveCarras]

SakuraX said:

Fur farms are wrong .."

Yeah, but this was released earlier times, in 1942...btw Jones's more famous "Dover Boys" followed this..

[xXRoconzaXx]

nice to see a cartoon were the fox is not just some generic bad guy

[idioticlisa]

Agreed! Especially since it's an old cartoon, too...

[dnm72863]

Originally released September 1942 [this is the 1947 Blue Ribbon re-issue], directed by Chuck Jones. It was already a Merrie Melodie to begin with, and has always been in color.

[halomano07]

Old classic cartoon, I watched this during my childhood.

[laurap19]

hahaha the fox gets out to get the key, then comes back in again to open the door haha, luv these cartoons!!

[ZaffireWolf]

I don't get why people wanted to wear dead animals on their bodies. That's a dead THING you're wearing. Depending upon your point of view, it's either unethical, unsanitary, or unfashionable.

[pcabsturz]

maybe these people WANTED to look like stoneage people :P

[Outlawcatgirl]

@pcabsturz That cheeseburger you're enjoying is also from a dead animal. So is leather...and they generally use different cattle for leather than they do for meat. And whether it looks good on a person or not is a matter of opinion. Just saying.

[pcabsturz]

@Outlawcatgirl: Don't know why you're addressing to me, just because i uploaded that video. I'm just a fox fan and liked the drawing style of this cartoon. I didn't intend to make a statement about the maltreatment of animals in general, although i dislike it. Besides, how do you know i'm not vegetarian ? :->

[foxcandy5]

its not the same thing,when the fur is removed from the corpse, the meat isn't sanitary enough to be sold as dog food. The foxes live in their own shit until the day they are taken out of their tight cage to be killed!

[MWolfL]

@ZaffireWolf I'm against wearing animal fur too. I mean if ya like the feel of fur clothing get FAUX fur, not animal fur.

[SakuraKitsune1008]

Fur farms are wrong

[MietteTanuki]

I LOVE THIS CARTOON

[pinkpanter328]

hola me encanta esta rana, eje es la mejor recuerdo que en una ocasion vi aqui en youtube un video con la historia de la rana donde empezaba en la prehistoria, despues a roma y asi sucesivamente alguin sabe cual es ese capitulo que me diga por favor.........

grax

[rinaldis85]

No se exactamente si es esa la que dices, pero intenta con "One Froggy Evening".

[ramingr]

These cartoons are great, I love them too.

But this one in particular isn't anything special...

[b3d]

Man I love these classic cartoons espically this one and I hope it will be on DVD with the restored Title card, I asume this one was directed by Chuck Jones!

[pcabsturz]

Yes it was :)

[b3d]

I thought so :)

[FirstClassHeel]

Looking at the character designs, you can tell that Jones did this. Because Jones's characters (especially in the 1930s and 1940s could almost pass for Disney characters because of how cute they were, like Sniffles the Mouse)

[AdeonWriter]

Hey, Bugs Bunny looks good as a fox. ;P

[LittleFrock]

I taped this one off TNT too, back when Faybee was born in 1990. He was a lot shinier, maybe a platinum fox! it's nice to see all the foxes escape....but it was funny how the foxes and dogs would run on all fours but then when they jump the hurdles they run like people! I wonder if that was part of the joke?

[CalVersion1]

It seems that everybody says Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies are "for kids". It's crazy talk.

They were originally shown to adults in theatres. They had to be *censored* a hell of a lot just to make them suitable for home viewing.

[FirstClassHeel]

I hate people who think Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies are for kids and the fact that they have to be censored to fit that ideology. Thank God most of the cartoons are out on DVD (and more will be out soon, including this one. Keep your eyes peeled) where they can be for families *and* childless cartoon fans who still feel like big kids.

[b3d]

I'm with you on that one!

[alaasla]

Man, I remember when these used to air on TNT. Watched them all the time. Those were the days.

[ClassicTVFan82]

Wasn't the French-accented Sterling Silver Fox Farm owner Chuck Jones' idea? (Because, Jones would later create Pepe Le Pew.)

[pcabsturz]

for me as an european the farm owner's dialect sounds more like german :)

[frederickbabyyeah]

O.O oh its anti fur...this must ahve made some fledglying animal rights activists later in life..

[pcabsturz]

maybe :)

[FirstClassHeel]

I don't think that was the intention of the cartoon when it first came out, but yeah, looking at it through modern eyes, it does look like something that would make PETA proud.

[FirstClassHeel]

[ChadTVFan]

I can tell that this cartoon was digitally colorized by Warner Brothers in 1995

[sweetvegan74]

Aww he is adorable, I wouldlet that fox ride my shoulder any day. I prefer my fur breathing!

[pcabsturz]

i looked your account and some of your favoritized videos... i'd like to know, do you have animals yourself or are you againt pet keeping at all :) ?

[sweetvegan74]

Heck no! I'm not a Peta nut. I have my own companion animals and like the wild ones too.

[pcabsturz]

ok ^^

[johnffrey]

I remember watching this on a tape a long time ago that my family used to own but I think it got lost or something and I hadn't seen it since I was probably 7 or 8.

[pcabsturz]

i know this feeling :)

[J3AMPYX77]

FUR IS MENTALLITY SHIT

[HottestSnapeFan]

poor fox

[CidSilverWing]

By The Light... What were they thinking?

[pcabsturz]

what do you mean ? :)

[johncena10123456]

back in the day when cartoon network was a channel kids could watch by themselves now you have to be with them all the way ith these scary commercials and these japan cartoons like one peice making childrens hearts speed 5 times faster and making kids get sick

[pcabsturz]

Anime is bad indeed :)

First i don't like most of the Anime shows (but everybody has to know for himself)...and added to

that there're hardly any drawing skills like in old cartoons like this one...they even don't synchronize the lips of the characters...

[Karaitika]

They're just synchronized to the original language and not to English.

[sancho65]

responding to johncena10123456 and pcabsturz: most anime is ment for adults. the cartoon network is called the cartoon network for a reason. to show cartoons. they are respectful enough to show the adult cartoons when the children SHOULD be in bed. i do agree with you with the animation now. i am an animator myself. i am planning on getting the drawn cartoons back, apposed to everything done by computer. what happened to good old fashion hard work?

[Pearly056]

This is one of my favorite cartoons. Thanks.

[061342]

Wow, watched it the morning, and fav it at night.

[pcabsturz]

me too, i'm a furry ^.^

[pcabsturz]

me too ^.^

i'm a furry :)

[Ryanfox1981]

And to think that I've got the fandom on my heels... Remind me to avoid creating naked dancing 5 inch tall vixens....

[pcabsturz]

are you relating to this video with the little vixen who dances to the tune of an ABBA cover from Madonna ? ^^

[pcabsturz]

wait...i just looked through your account...you didn't do this vixen dance video, did you oO ?!

[JA268]

great cartoon, I love foxes

[Sabretoothsquirrel]

Foxes rules this planet man!!!
