The AAP logo here seems to be good quality (the background is still pure greenish-blue) since there is no reddening on it that affected it on many other cartoons they made.
>>>>>"Weird silent AAP on the Super Rabbit Print."
No, it's not weird at all! Nowhere near weird. Just different. Just because something's different doesn't make it weird. In fact, this silent logo is still good no matter what!
no special gimmicks. that episode probably aired with the silent aap logo on other stations if I remember correct and I lived in southern Cal at the time. It is a creepy shock when the music comes on at the rings/shield intro.
And all the business back then would explain it or guys were just carless and lazy :)
yeah but expected judging by the picture quality. old film footage perhaps. this aired in other parts of the country and perhaps it is part of the Super Rabbit cartoon and this is probably how the Bugs Bunny Cartoon originally aired with the silent AAP logo. Classic in my opinion, but yes creepy if you were growing up in the eighties.
not sure, but another piece of interesting trivia:
WUAB was founded in 1968 by United Artists, who had bought a.a.p. only a decade earlier. So, probably, this station was the Cleveland home of the pre-1948 WB library (and the Popeye cartoons) for a number of years, due to this common ownership
Some interesting connections between the AAP package and the 1940s Superman Cartoons that this short parodies:
*The Popeye cartoons weren't the only Paramount cartoons not sold to UM&M, the Superman cartoons were also sold to another company: Motion Pictures for Television (which produced "The Adventures of Superman")
*Superman himself would become a WB property with WB buying DC Comics - as of yet, WB has yet to produce an official crossover between Bugs Bunny and Superman, however
Motion Pictures for TV was originally known as Sunset Productions/Guild Films, which had bought out all of the B&W Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies (except for the B&W MMs 2nd and thereafter that were produced by Hugh Harman and Rudolf Ising, which were under AAP). MPTV was then bought out by Warner Bros.-Seven Arts Inc. in 1967, which was why WB regained the rights to this old backlog.

This cartoon was originally realeased back in 1943.Then in about 1956 or 1957 Warner Brothers sold this cartoon to a.a.p.

Actually, as prints apparently had separate sound and visuals, it may simply been a case of playing a pre aap sound with the newer print.

@RobTheBuilder one would figure in the digital age they coudl've at least added the sound back in, but I find this clip just to be classic.

I find it annoying when the Merrie Melodies theme is played twice over on AAP prints

@ceredigio Probably they forgot to add the music.

For the Harman-Ising Merrie Melodies sold to A.A.P., did they have the A.A.P. opening title used on black-and-white Popeye cartoons?

As far as I know, no. I was not born until 1981.

actually, MPTV was sold to Guild Films, who had bought out Sunset, with Guild being sold to Seven Arts - that company merged with WB in 1967

Still neat to see the WUAB logo again, but yeah, you just wonder what was going on with those prints! Guys just being careless and lazy!
