It does resemble Hanna-Barbera's animation, but it doesn't have Hanna-Barbera's trademark sound effects. That's kind of the clincher showing this wasn't really made by H-B
This was good work compared to some of the 1968 TV cartoon fare from HB, DePatie-Freling and others. Too bad, it maybe could have kept Terrytoons open a little longer.
@canonet, the only I can explain it is that its was a diffrent time. The Woman's Movement was just blooming so to see a girl/woman real or animated be anything but a "damsel in distress" sterotype was unheard of back then. Even Jonny Quest which seems kick-ass to us now was a flop when it premiered in 1964 because it was "too sophisticated" for the audience to get...like I said different time..different place.
This is interesting, Looks like Terrytoons had a hit on their hands. Probably would have saved the studio from closing that year. Also, looks like H-B copied some character designs for their later cartoons.
Wow....and to think parent rights groups stopped this from airing?!?! SALLY SARGEANT would've been a big hit (especially now!!) This was a TERRYTOON too? They sure came a looong way from Mighty Mouse, Heckle & Jeckle and Deputy Dawg! Sally reminds me of a female Jonny Quest/Nancy Drew. As for the girl power issue, HB did retifify things especially with Daphne in the 80's and others like Velma, Josie & The Pussycats, The Teen Angels who thought and solved things on their own.
@canonet17 At the time ( 1966-68) most Saturday morning cartoons were action cartoons i.e. SPACE GHOST, SUPERMAN, THE HERCULOIDS, BATMAN, etc., however, by 1968 parent advocy group & educators said that Saturday monrning cartoons were too violent and non-educational so to combat this CBS broadcasted THE ARCHIE SHOW began the "teenage comedy/mystery genre" of cartoons which by 1969 included SCOOBY-DOO and the like plus the "moral of the story" toons of the 1970's.
@dh1173 Thanks for the note and wonder what they thought of WB cartoons from the 50s ans before? Most kids I knew in the 70s knew it was make-believe but parents I guess wanted to be PC.
@canonet17 Its funny you should mention that, the WB,MGM & Universal cartoons were edited slightly to take out drunkeness or anything sexually stimulating to a degree on saturday mornings but kept it in for syndication versions. Yes, we knew too even as far as MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS in the 90's was make believe. But as Will Smith said..PARENTS JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND!! LOL!!
@dh1173 I know about the editing as in the 80s, it became worse. Editing butchered up many cartoons so bad to where they did not make sense.
Even Mammy two shoes in Tom & Jerry was redrawn in the 60s to make her an Irish maid. The ones left original, I found to be more funny and I'm a Black dude! I just take it all in context for the times and just go on from there.
@canonet17 Funny you should mention Mammy Two-Shoes...do you remember the one where Tom holds a party and keeps Jerry up? The Original design was Mammy but it was redrawn as white woman but with Mammy's voice! I found those funny as well and yes I'm black too! I think cartoons from the 40's to the 80's were probably the best eras for cartoons. Iwao Takamoto who would later design cartoons for HB obviously did designs for Sally as well who looks a lot like Daphne! LOL!
And to think, young girls could have gotten a heroine of their own 40 years ago, instead of having to wait for the late 1990-early 2000's for one to be on the air. How sad.
Let's see, she knows karate, she can fly a plane, she's the daughter of a senator, and she's still a teenager. Ladies and gentlemen, we have one of the earliest examples of a mary sue!
Had it not been for the "crackdown" on cartoon violence in 1968, this program likely would have been picked up by one of the networks, and probably would've been a smash hit!
extreme nerd moment ( and I do mean extreme); wouldn't it have been weirdly awesome if this character cameo in one of the recent spy-girl cartoons (kim possible or totally spies). It would not have been entertaining, but the obscurity and relevance of the reference would have made it fascinating
It was pretty interesting to see this one again. They would show it every few months or so with either the Mighty Mouse or Heckyl and Jeckyl cartoons. Too bad it was never made into a regular series.
@timmymylad She actually looks more like a grown up Alice, from Hanna-Barbara's Alice in Wonderland special. Both characters are voiced by Janet Waldo.
And rather more smarter. If you listen carfully, it's Janet Waldo as mentioned..just not perky so it is hard to recongize..the open title is far the better.
@timmymylad: The other difference is that Daphne is a perpetual damsel in distress in the original '60's shows, whereas Sally has her shit together, and can at least kick butt when needed-much like Kim Possible and a ton of other gal heroes on TV.
I remember this cartoon. There was a beginning (before the title song) where Blaster shoots the wrong girl with gas from a pen.That is missing from this.Thanks for posting it.
Back in those days the TV animation community was very small and concentrated in Southern California. Not nearly as much of the animation was being done in Japan like it would be later. So it's no real surprise that many of the same animators and designers worked at ALL the SoCal studios, and consequently, causing a great deal of style cross-over between them. Sally seems to be greatly influenced by NANCY DREW, and in retrospect looks like a 60s/70s version of KIM POSSIBLE.
If I hadn't read the info box, I never would've known this was a Terrytoon. The graphics show a heavy Hanna-Barbera influence and the background music was not unlike the kind which punctuated the Grantray-Lawrence Marvel Super-Heroes cartoons.
Yeah, if he hadn't said Terrytoon I would have thought it was Hanna Barbera, except the composition of this is more leisurely and more nuanced than most of the Hanna Barbera stuff I've seen.
You're right about the leisurely, nuanced pace. When you watch this a second time, however, you can hear passages in the background music similar to the music heard in other latter day Terrytoons series like James Hound.
This was primarily produced for CBS' consideration (they OWNED the "Terrytoons" studio). Fred Silverman, the executive in charge of the network's Saturday A.M. schedule, was always looking for something "different". Unfortunately, the violence in this pilot might have hurt its chances on becoming a series; in 1968, there was a great backlash against "violent" Saturday cartoons on all networks, and Silverman decided to emphasize an "all-comedy" line-up instead {"ARCHIE" was the linchpin}.
this rocks! the animation for this cartoon is smokin' hot! ..i swear this looks like a very well done hanna barbera cartoon!..it's a stinking shame that terry toons didn't make more of this awesome cartoon!
@NikDanger99 Actually I thinks it's Rico Stark. And I think he looks like either one of two villains. One from a "Speed Buggy" episode, the other from an "Emergency + 4" episode.
I looked up on Big Cartoon Database and yes "Sally Sergant" was a Terrytoon, and it was from 1969, two years before the studio went out of business. Paul Terry died a year during the closing of the Terrytoons studio. This is another rare Terrytoon from 1969. It was sold to Viacom in 1971 and you might see the "Wigga-Wigga" logo at the end of the video.
I think there's a scene missing from this episode. When Sally goes to the house she says "There's that car again." When did she see it? My guess is there's a scene when Blaster is looking at Sally and Mary Louise (and then grabs the wrong girl)...Gosh, I LOVE this cartoon!!
This pilot didn't sell because Sally Sargent was ahead of her time! In the 1960's the advertising market for kidvid mostly targeted boys, and a female asskicker just didn't have the commercial appeal. And I don't think anyone expected it to sell dolls to the girls either. I think that started to change in the 1980's with She-Ra and now there's Kim Possible, Power Puff Girls, etc..
Are you absolutely sure this was by Terrytoons? Everything about it, not just the character design but the music, the layout, the timing and the motion style too, is a dead ringer for Hannah Barbera.
Doesn't sound like it to me, though...Amazing that they didn't just get Janet Waldo from HB to do the voice, but I guess that would be "unfair competetion" in the 1st degree but anyhow, the producer, F.Calvert did a similairly styled series based on "Emerceny" ("Emegency + four) in 10973, which a likewise blonde, much younger )(12?)girl ,named Carol (one of the title's "Plus Four"), and as apparently (from what I've read), voiced by a COMIC, "Sarah Kennedy' (seen also on some DF Eshows..)
That Viacom "Wigga-Wigga" was shown at the end of the clip look like it became a nazi for YouTube for taking down videos due to copyright problems. Screw you, Viacom!
cartoonbrew: Can you post on YouTube another about 10 minute unsold cartoon pilot from the 1960's - Filmation's King Arthur which was seen as part of the syndicated Groovie Goolies and Friends package in the late 1970's?
THis is like what Scooby-Doo would be like without the ridiculouws comci relief..and if it was just a novelty pilot..I gotta truly good anoiamtiuon of ally at opening..unlike the H-B cartoons that followed..
Yeah, Scooby-Doo would have been such a compelling show without the "ridiculous comic relief." If they just got rid of that dog and the hippy we all could have focused our attentions on those well-crafted mysteries, stellar scripts, and lush animation.
Now there's something i've never seen in my life. Over all, i'd say that 'Sally Sargent' is kinda like a precursor to 'Kim Possible'. It has a very 'Hanna-Barbera' look, and feel to it. Almost as if Iwao Takamoto designed the characters for this on his spare time.
Also, I'm surprised that this is the only attempt by a New York studio to make an action/adventure cartoon on the H-B/Filmation model. (The Krantz/Grantray-Lawrence stuff doesn't count, since that was outsourced from L.A./Toronto...)
Who worked on this, anyway? Since this is done at Terry in 1968, I'd assume that Cosmo Anzilotti did at least some of the animation (unless he was still at Paramount when this was done)...
