The first thing I noticed is that in the original titles, there is a lap-dissolve from the concentric rings to the Pepe LePew title card. In the BR reissue, it just cuts from the BR title card.
I know this sounds goofy, but when the WB shield zooms in, it begins with the Merry Melodie zoom sound then ends with the Looney Tune. Does anyone else notice that?
HOLY SMOKE! I never thought you would have original opening titles to some Warner Bros. cartoons! Do you have anymore? If you do, could you please post them here?
They come from private collector's original prints (usually 16mm).
Just because Warner's can't find the originals doesn't mean they don't exist... there are many sources where they were once acquired and do exist. For example, on a recent LTGC the cartoon "Cat-Tails For Two" was released with the Blue Ribbon titles. Yet for years on a local TV network they showed the original with full original titles... this is where I found those, for example.
And the first to actually use a female cat as Pepe's object of desire (Odorable Kitty had a male cat, Scent-imental Over You used a female chihuahua, and Odor of the Day wasn't even done by Chuck Jones or followed the love chase formula).

@totpkg I noticed that as well! It was suprising to hear the Merrie Melodies zoom as a lead-in to the Looney Tunes theme.

I always preferred the Looney Tunes intro to the Merrie Melodies one.

DJLarryT, how DID you get these prints? Warner's own prints are Blue Ribbons!
