Hm...I just remembered that I saw this one as a kid. I only remember one scene though, and I don't remember it being Dan Backslide and Dora. That's my fucked up memory for ya!
@MrDigitalgamer12345 it's not that uncommon, when I was a kid my dad used to take me to state parks where they had (replica) cannons set up to commemorate some battle or another in the American Revolution. (he's a major history buff, but he always made the history sound really cool)

This is one of my favorite Looney Tunes episodes. The random jokes make this very funny.... also Ponies brought me here to, CONFOUND THOSE PONIES THEY DRIVE ME TO DRINK!
I'm not going through more than 750 comments, but this is one cartoon that Warner Bros. can't take off of YouTube! Over the years, this is one of the few Termite Terrace cartoons that was overlooked for copyright renewal, and has passed into the public domain.
You can download the first Rover Boys book, "The Rover Boys at School" (1899) from Google Books for free. It's absolutely awful (it makes the Hardy Boys seem like real literature), but you'll get some of the jokes in this cartoon if you read it.
He's appears to be an homage to The Joker to me. Considering that Joker first appeared in Batman #1 in 1940, two years before this short, it's entirely possible. But then again, I'm just guessing.
This is cartoon perfection. The animation is great, every moment is hilarious and memorable, and Dan Backslide is without a doubt the greatest villain of all time. I will probably never see anything this good ever again.
Chuck Jones took a long time to find his footing as a director. However, from this cartoon onwards, he had approximately 1 miss for every 8 or 9 hits.
This was the very first truly original cartoon by Jones, who was considered lackluster as a director before this. This short was his "Bachelors Degree". From this point on, his genius bloomed, and continued to bloom until the very end. Long live Jones!
Anybody out there familiar with Ravel's "La Valse"? I can see a bunch of animated characters in the style of Dora Standpipe waltzing all over a flat checkerboard surface and eventually falling off the edge. So go to it, young animators!
Dan Backslide should be number 1 for the Smoking Guns Dumbest Criminals. Wouldn't you agree?
Seriously, you're at the surveillance room and comes this skinny joker-like dude and eyeballs a yellow Camaro, then shouts to himself "A Camaro. I'LL STEAL IT! NO ONE WILL EVER KNOW!!!!" Then to his surprise, he learns it's Bumblebee and starts to get into a rut w/ him. LOL!!!
LOL! You want some more Dan Backslide( after the girl was kickin his ass)?!?! When he shakes his head "no"! LOOOL! I've been laughing at tjat part since i was a small boy. Forever funny.
7:36 I couldn't help but laugh at this part every time. And also, whats with that guy walking around everywhere? God i wish cartoons were like this today!
Yeah, no kidding, right? Probably because of the animation technique where they zip from pose to pose with limited frames in between. If that's true, though, it is kind of nice that they adhered so strictly to a particular quality of animation. Even though taking shortcuts is what produced this cartoon. :V
