Rovers Rival

[BWayans2001]

Anyone else find it surprising that, even with the animation change later on, when Porky says "That's all Folks!", he has the same voice?

[W3551D3]

This needs to be on DVD/Blu-ray

[SteveCarras]

The Looney Tunes theme debuts here. Note who the animator was, given his triumph over the "supervisor" in later years [read--the famous Warners director feud well-written about in animation circles!]

[WSenator1]

Rover is one OLD BOY, telling you!

[BWayans2001]

This is the first one with "Porky-in-A-Drum" ending. The early one! Did the new one appear on "Wise Quacks" or "Porky's Hotel" cuz I saw "Wise Quacks" with the Warner Bros. line out of the scroll and was wondering if the new Porky ending was featured.

[AarHan3]

@BWayans2001 Porky's overgrown eyes freaked me out... :^O

[BWayans2001]

@AarHan3 That Porky ending scares me sometimes too.

[MislaidAlbum]

..that puppy is a dick. D:

[SteveCarras]

@MislaidAlbum

The puppy reminds me of Bart Simpson!

Poor Rover

[jeelliott]

Thanks for posting this video. It's one of my all time favorites.

[Johnffrey87]

Do you suppose Nancy Cartwright got inspiration for Bart's voice from the puppy from this cartoon? I can sort of see the similarities in the voice and attitude.

[baxterfilms]

Whats that song playing at :31? I also heard it in The Crackpot Quail whenever the dog runs. It must have something to do with dogs.

[springofpiesucks]

how many fricken dynamites does that pup have?!

[SIMPFANN]

That wasn't Hold That Tiger on the soundtrack, it was Nagasaki.

[MelosAntropon]

@SIMPFANN : You are correct.

[Preshizz2k6]

aww.. cute cartoon.

[mommypucca]

Of course out here in northern California, they do not play the old cartoons anymore. But i ordered alot of the old favorites, had to look some up cause as a child you only remember the characters not the title name, boy did my mom laugh at the good ole memories

[mommypucca]

[Aboutspaul20]

This cartoon was shown on WPHL-TV (channel 17) as part of "Bugs Bunny/Porky Pig" in a redrawn version.

This was the first cartoon to have a Porky-in-a-Drum ending, but it continued right up until early to mid 1946.

[Rlotpir1972]

You must've saw the 1968 colorized version with the Seven-Arts logo in the opening and closing portions. Have you seen the 1995 color version on Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network?

[NewAndImprovedToons]

If there's one lesson WB learned from colorization, it's that it should never be done by redrawing the cartoon.

The computer is the way to do it.

[Rlotpir1972]

I agree.

[Rlotpir1972]

At the time, you saw the 1968 color version. The opening/closing graphics were replaced with the 1968 W-7 graphics. Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network aired the 1995 computerized color version. The opening graphic was screwed up...it didn't show the Vitaphone and the copyright data above and below the W-B shield.

[clarkstuff]

@Rlotpir1972 Actually, Nickelodeon aired the redrawn version

[fromthesidelines]

I believe the production number listed at the beginning is #8038, "'Classic'....

[DJLarryT]

It's #8228.... I checked my film print for verification... :)

[HomeoftheGoodGuys]

This cartoon was shown on WNEW-TV (channel 5) as part of "Bugs & Porky" in a redrawn version.

This was the first cartoon to have a Porky-in-a-Drum ending, but it continued right up until early to mid 1946.

[clarkstuff]

really? what year did you see it on that channel in?

[HomeoftheGoodGuys]

New York City, but I say so.

[xypsilonx]

Poor rover (at beginning)

[ClassicTVFan82]

Would you happen to know what the production # is in the main title?

[fromthesidelines]

This was released in late 1937, when Bob Clampett was virtuallly given "control" of the Porky cartoons- and all of the Clampett animators went on to greater achievements! Actually, that's "Nagasaki" under 4:40 through 5:00 {As you well know, Carl Stalling blended LOTS of Warner Bros. songs, from their music publishing divisions, into his scores}. Thanks again for identifying who "did" what, 'DJ'!!

[ClassicTVFan82]

October 9, 1937, to be exact.

[looneywoman]

I *thought* that was "Nagasaki," though "Hold that Tiger" *does* sound similar in all fairness...

[Spam2712]

This one is pretty good! (And most of the notes at the bottom weren't distracting and actually interesting, excpect for the "laughter".)
