Little 'Tinker

[CazK88]

Many of you are asking about who sings the song "All Or Nothing At All" starting at 3:25, and I can tell you that it is definitely NOT Frank Sinatra. NOT Bill Roberts. Try Dick Haymes (circa 1955).

[1993joshualiu]

What is the title of the classical song that played in the opening?.

[slovan]

"Love that man!"

[supermariobrothersha]

I know the song is all or nothing at all by Mr. Frank Sinatra but the only version I can find of this song (besides going out of my way to watch this cartoon) is the 60's version which yes is good but I enjoy this one so much more so if anyone could help me on where to find a cd or lp with the original (this version) please let me know:)

[CazK88]

@supermariobrothersha

Try Dick Haymes (circa 1955)!

[scarlettangel14]

bugs bunny's great aunt??!?!?!



[IrieinJax]

I about spit water all over myself when they put him in the iron lung and were measuring him for a casket!

[missbeatrix1]

@IrieinJax

That was hillarious! The plasma bit and when they showed him and the feather on the balance are the parts that really got me! I wonder how Mr. Sinatra and his family reacted to all those jokes as they saw them?

[OnlyFairWeather]

So remember kids, always date within your own race.

[SOUTHCOMCI334]

@OnlyFairWeather oh dude, thats messed up. lol.

[XStoneColdFoxX]

LOL i love how they were making fun of his weight the whole time <3

[Eternalgamers1]

2:21 does anyone know the name of that opera pice

[tracyneproski]

@Eternalgamers1 It's the beginning of the Lucia sextet, but with silly words. :)

[athull08]

@tracyneproski with silly words? Ah, now I know why it was voiced by a nightclub singer, rather than a real opera singer!

[boru25]

OMG it's the rabbit version of that obsessive woman in 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit' at 2:48 I wonder if Sega got the idea for Tails flying tail's at 3:59.

[SkizzleDizzle99]

Was that Bugs' mom?

[stripperella1sthubb]

@SkizzleDizzle99 No, that was his cousin's mom, Efram the Retarded Rabbit.

[FunLiz01]

awwwwwww,the ending is so sweet! ^_^

[sjrswimfan]

Ohhhhh...Frankie!!!!!! <3 <3 <3

[306fatboy]

the movie "how to lose a guy in ten days" used the clip of the 2 foxes kissing in the madison square garden basketball scene.

[scottishsquirrel11]

so sweet!!!!

[89Animeknight]

i kinda know how the skunk feels, i could never found someone to love, heck i tried to kill myself to a few time during half my high school years but a stop during my senior year!

[ImmortalSynn]

So cute, always loved this cartoon.

[Balenaproductions]

The lesson is to be yourself! I wish cartoons still taught lessons while being funny.

[MagicBus101]

Yes the voices do sound different.

[carabookid]

reminds me of myself.

[MagicBus101]

No that's not the real Frank Sinatra. You can obviously tell if you are a fan of his and know his voice.

[carabookid]

@MagicBus101 really?

[GamingJesters]

@MagicBus101 In the book Frank: The Voice it states that it is Sinatra singing, where on Wikipedia it says that Bill Roberts plays the singing voice of the skunk. I'm going with Wikipedia because the voice sounds SO different. Although when he actually recorded All Or Nothing At All it was with the Harry James band which was of course very early on so his voice was quite different. Just look up We Three by Tommy Dorsey and listen to Sinatra's voice and see what I mean.

[athull08]

@GamingJesters The opera song is voiced by Bill Roberts, but I don't know who does the voice for the other song (definitely NOT Bill Roberts).

[glowworm2]

I love this cartoon--the ending is so sweet. I love the part where B.O. kisses the owl--and it drops down dead!

[BigBoyKaveman]

poor little tinker all he wanted was some poontang to get him through the night

[joshualiu1993]

Why did Cupid say Hold it?.

[tigerqueen007]

@joshualiu1993 Because the poor little skunk was about to poison himself, but the cupid stopped him.

[PineappleHeads1]

5:33 Lol rabbit stampeed

[dorourke105]

2:48 Wow even the ugly rabbits don't like skunks

[MrMLD72MLD]

♥ .

[Unionsdocumentary]

awwwwwwwwwwww thanks for posting this! I remember watching it when I was a tot. So nice to find it here!

[86forever]

O.K wasn't there an old Warner Bros Cartoon where Porky Pig was a taland agent and there were these BIRDS that were noiced by BING CROSBY & FRANK SINATRA & they were in his office singing together......I could have swarn i 've seen somehting like that B4 ?????????

[Vincek88]

@86forever Yes, there was - and an Al Jolson bird to round it out. Then there was the one where Porky's a farmer and hires a Bing-ish singing rooster to divert his hens from a Frank-ish rooster...there's at least one more W-B pairing with the two of them as birds but it escapes me just now...

[gaishared]

I wish i had that kind of power like Frank had having women go crazy like that wanting to have his babies those we're the day :)

[tbaumgar1]

at 4:21, that was suggestive haha!!

[joker137100]

My favorite cartoon of all time...I've been looking for this for years...

I'm glad you posted it and I found it!!!!

[Princessbyatch88]

FRANKIE!!!!! i looooove this cartoon. it shows what anyone is willing to do to find love. LOL

[timonfan2008]

thank u this is one of my absolute fav of tex avery shows! thank u

[ooozetoons]

Is it me or does the bunny at 2:49 look like Lady Gaga?

[Ramoa111]

Q simpático la puta madre jaaa ja ja. El undertaker jaaa ja ja..

[Gabapwnz]

lol, I thought I was going to die! That old lady jumped out that wheel chair like it wasn't nothing? HAHAHA!!! XD I don't remember most of that when I watched it as a kid. Love this one.

[michaeldavis678]

skunk falls in water and fish leave LOL

[michaeldavis678]

i love tex avery toons they are the best

[cinemudogriton]

i want a frankie suit :D

[MrRatato]

what it this b.o

[eddurd]

@MrRatato B.O. stands for "body odor" (that's what they called it when they first started making commercials for deodorant)

[joshualiu1993]

What kind of hat was B.O Skunk wearing for the opera scene?

[weikko79]

The sound is off.

[tltar253]

The old bunny is hilarious XDXDXD

[wrybreadspread]

too cute--absolutely too cute--this deserves to be remembered beside the disney genre and the loony tune genre and the modern southpark-adultswimclub genre

[raezer]

If you pay close enough attention to numerous places during the cartoon , you'll notice the action and the sound effects don't match up to the exact time they're supposed to happen. As with many cartoons , the soundtrack is a little off from the picture.

[reikayakishiro]

@raezer Or maybe it's just youtube again, there's this little bug where some youtube videos have their sounds a bit off when posted, it happened with one of mine. =)

[daphnelovesu]

watching this, i realized things that i never realized as a kid.

i now understand the frankie reference as being frank sinatra circa 1940s, and i understand the whole joke as him being so skinny he almost seemed sickly. This is a fine example of celebrity and pop culture reference that we still use today in programs such as "family guy" or "south park". Perhaps these were created for people w/ adult intellect. also i realized the bunny at 3:50 was a black stereotype. did u catch it?

[Ambri121314]

I caught it (the black bunny stereotype), and unfortunately, Cartoon Network did too, because they cut that scene recently and I used to see it uncut. I HATE when CN does that.

[BlackDouglas1000]

@Ambri121314 That is nuts.The toon rips up on Frank Sinatra (a white guy)for 50% of the show and a 1 second bit of a potentially black stereo type is censored, it was probably from a celebeeity catch phrase of a popular black entertainer as well, and not even a negative!

[NinZine]

afaik, they targeted teenagers and young adults. there is a documentary about tex avery here. :)

[missAngelofmercy666]

i watch dis cartoon over 1000 times as kid & never notice it... thank u ! but back n the 1940's dats how cartoons stereotype blacks

[Mufasa7270]

This was probably on of the FUNNIEST and BEST cartoons of mine back then! I laughed so hard until I cried!

[rudiluu]

FRANKKKKKKKKKKKK

[DoubleXdragoN]

Holy crap, I've last seen this over a decade ago! Lovely stuff. XD

[whatupchico]

I love all these too skinny jokes!!!!!!!!!!! They're awesome!!! I love the cartoon.

those bunnies remind me of babes bunny mainly the dieing grandmother bunny lol

[siralucard19]

4:05 wow granny XD

[ZRtheHedgehog77]

Is there a lesson to be learn here?

[shady14soldier]

yea love stinks if u get the joke. lol!

[x0x0beeches]

is pepe lepu suppose to be him

[royalfuzziness]

How many rabbits actually wear lipstick.

[DiggityDoglikeDogg]

well, there's bugs bunny and a few animal abuse charges from the news.

[goodlover83]

I thought growing up dat Frank Sinatra wuz cute. Young and old. His eyes wuz beatuful.

[yamatofan01]

little tinker=precurse of pepe le pew

[Ambri121314]

@yamatofan01: Actually, when this cartoon was released (1948), there were already three Pepe Le Pew cartoons out. So this is either Tex Avery either mocking Chuck Jones's Pepe series or trying to do an MGM version of it.

[rathraven1313]

@Ambri121314 Or Tex's female version of his Red Hot Hiding Hood and Wolf shorts.

[mindbrp]

Major Lol on Frank Sinatra part xD

[Joeyc2996]

mr bill

[joshualiu1993]

Love Dilemma in this cartoon.

[RSop63]

I love the ending too!

[RivaJane]

1:41 made me laugh so hard!!!

[squalluchiha1]

omg this is the cutest cartoon ever <33333

[berybella]

lol i used to like this a lot.

[Ishmari345]

i thought it was frankie avalon

[headphone355]

No, that's Frank Sinatra.

[FilmTraum1]

What a lovely and wonderful cartoon!

[Dedic8edCartoonLuvr]

back when cartoons had beautiful emotion and such <3

[fortheloveofivy84]

3:03 onward is hilarious. one of the reasons why I remember this cartoon so much. Cause of all the weight jokes about Frank Sinatra in his early days lol :) the Plasma part makes me laugh...and then oxygen...

[iceandsteele]

I love the ending...aww ^__^

[kevin2155boe]

i remember watching cartoons like this one in the 90's. was awesome

[X6800]

Watching this cartoon on Boomerang right now and the rabbit @ 3:50 is cut. Instantly noticed it that's why I'm commenting on this right now.

[zwhitewidow]

Is that supposed to be frank sinatra? He wasn't that skinny

[mdumas43073]

Well, Sinatra *was* fairly thin when he first broke into stardom in the '40s. And, as cartoons are wont to do, they took this trait and exaggerated it a hundredfold for comedic effect.

You see variations of this gag in a lot of other cartoons of that era; Frank Tashlin's "Swooner Crooner" comes to mind, for instance.

[barulez]

This is really perfect for Valentine's Day and it's tomorrow. HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY, EVERYONE! GREAT UPLOAD!

[heine71]

Pepe Le Pew he's not!

[Cdubya]

because he isn't a rapist.

[felineshadow0221]

wasnt this franky bit done elsewhere too like in a cartoon of books they has a book open and he was singing and all the female characters from the books were going nuts

[rathraven1313]

Book Revue by Bob Campett.

[bccptw]

I haven't seen this cartoon since I was ten years old! The scene where the animals burst screaming and running from him dressed as Frankie gets me.

[weikko79]

The sound is off near the end.

[tigerqueen007]

They're making fun of Frank Sanatra because he was a sick man.

[weikko79]

He was sick indeed. Then he died.

[tigerqueen007]

I know.

[Furienna]

I love this short. Unfortunately, my version of it doesn't have the four first minutes.

[johnnypicosso]

Anyone know the name of the operatic song he sings? Thanks.

[BobHershey]

The skunk makes a mockery of the Italian language while serenading a raccoon with the famous Sextet from Donizetti's "Lucia di Lammermoor." - IMDB COM

[mzbunny07]

I absolutely loved this as a child! It has been such a long time since I've seen this! Thank you for posting my childhood memories!

[rabsmiff]

QUIMBERS AHOY!!!!

[aquienleimporta1]

i absolutely loved it, funny and cute!

[Blondiegreeneyes72]

another cartoon when someone attempts suicide :/

[weikko79]

At least he doesn't do it (that sometimes happens too in these old cartoons, you know!).

[colBoh]

It was funny back then.

[camarameteur]

tex avery is the legend of cartoons,thank's for you cartoon tex,you're create my generation

[Tsubahi]

One of MY favorite Tex Avery cartoons!XD

It deals with furries, horny screaming fangirls, and male anorexia all in one sitting!

[Mufasa7270]

Thsi was absolutely one of my favorites! It still cracks me up to this day...LOL

[richkids408]

cracks me up? weirdo

[weikko79]

Silly, that means it makes him laugh!

[SteveCarras]

Dated gag now abouty Sinatra givne his nineteen sixties transformation into a MAN's singer. Kind of the reverse in a way of Bing Crosby, who as I implied below, left his swooner phase but had become much more conservagtive..Russ Columbo, another early swooner, had accidentally offed himslef in the Depression, then there was Rudy Heigh Ho Vallee..

[SteveCarras]

Sinatra was following in Bing Crosby and Rudy Vallee (for just a few examples,plus the early-deceased Russ Columbo who died in 1934) in a way, since Warner Bros. and Dioney (Who frmaed Cock Robin) portrayed Bing the same way

[btravislee]

FRANKIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[deibid86]

I wonder if led zepplin song "Tangerine" is inspired in this cartoon. lol

[TraumaXP]

I've seen this cartoon years ago and was always searching for it. I'm so glad I found it here! Thank you so much!

[conwayjeffgordonfan]

I'm so glad I found this video!! This was always one of my favorites. Being a huge Frank Sinatra fan, I get a kick out of it. :)

[DoubleAgentMaki]

Frankie ie ie ie ie ie ie ie!!!

[themovieman99]

This is with-out a doubt the strangest and funnest cartoon I've ever scene...

4:06-4:18; I nearly fainted laughing so hard.

[andrewmunn]

aw poor little guy. he jus wanted sum hot action lol

[Hermy1138]

Can someone please tell what the idea is with the running joke of him being so thin and in constant need of help. I mean with the iron lungs and the undertaker, the plasma. I dont get it. What are they spoofing here???

[jayc041975]

It's a spoof on Frank Sinatra because he was so skinny back then.

[Wakkosgirl]

When I was a child I did not understand what an iron lung was. Still does not detract from the great jokes. I LOVE that big sloppy wet kiss that slams into the curtain!

[dcbandnerd]

I feel this Skunk's pain :-D

Thanks for the video.

[Zer0Fenrir]

Me siento TAN identificado con esta historia!! Especialmente con cómo se da el dilema de Jack: que lo escojan o "deseen" exteriormente, hasta que se acerquen lo necesario para saber lo que en realidad es.

Y mas que nada con el final, no unicamente por un conflicto de engañosas apariencias, sino que ambos hayan necesitado camuflarse, romper su autenticidad para parecer ironicamente "normales".

La caida al agua es su juicio, ellos son condenados al desnudo a la cruel verdad del amor.

Zero Fenrir

[jackohlantern]

Esto es, Tex Avery en su mejor momento, una de las mejores caricaturas que hizo.

Buen video viejo, aunque tengo que admitir que entendi lo de Frankie despues de que creci...

[alex22ght]

que entendiste de Frankie cuando creciste?..perdón que me meta pero me dió curiosidad..

[jackohlantern]

No tenia idea de quien era Frankie en mi niñes, luego supe que se trataba de Sinatra.

Aunque en todas las satiras lo dibujan bastante delgado, no creo que era tan flaco cuando joven...

[alex22ght]

a es Sinatra? yo pensaba que era Frankie Laine, fijate fotos de este ultimo, es parecido..no sé capás que te estas equivocando o me quivoco yo, no se..

[jackohlantern]

No viejo es Sinatra.

Incluso la cancion se llama "All or Nothing at all", es de la 1era produccion de Sinatra y fue el 1er gran exito de su carrera...

[alex22ght]

ok gracias por sacarme la duda, pero no me digás viejo que vos me llevás 8 años..salu2

[Lililo78]

FrankIiiiiiiiiiiie !! Ahahaha Rhapsody in pew !!!! Love this cartoon, so cute.

[IAMLH]

after all this years this was my favorite cartoon, but i still think that rabbit was a whore at 2:50 XD but still the best cartoon ever

[Wakkosgirl]

Noooo.....you didn't get that joke. Tex Avery was constantly making his "nerd" character have these big feet, buck teeth and an overbearing personality.  There's another one about red riding hood with same type of character.

[omallem]

Tex Avery always went from the bizarrly funny types of animation to the sweet and heartfelt stories like this. Which made him what most animators of today try to go for but cannot achieve. Listen to the commentaries of The Simpsons and Family Guy DVD's and Tex Avery will come up in many of the discussions.

[vulpineempress]

Quite easily one of Tex Avery's finest moments. Thank you!

[Mormonhunk]

Thank you so much. I love this cartoon. When he finds the female skink at the end who also disguised herself to find her true love, it melted my heart. When they kissed, it got me choked up. Yes, a cartoon can do that when you put it into your life situation. TY for the post.

[JyotiKaija]

Oh man thank you I've been looking for this video for YEARS! It was one of my favorites as a kid.
