This preceded post-Fleischer specialty cartoons (usually one-shot) made by the studio, until Harvey Comics bought Famous Studios and modified the Jack-in-the-Box.

  • The opening music was written by a bandlaeder called Scott,responsible for the tune "Powerhouse"!

  • @mrmjb1960 No, sorry; it wasn't Raymond Scott who wrote this, but Sammy Timberg, the musical director at Paramount/Famous from the beginning of the animation dept. until 1946 (when Winston Sharples took over).

  • From "Naughty But Mice" and a bunch of other Noveltoons

  • Dear Kid Cairbre,

    Do you know the title of this tune..written and arranged by Mr.Timberg?

  • that shit is OLD now and no copyrights too

  • More often, 'qu4n7', the "Champion" re-releases were the equivalent of Warner Bros. "Blue Ribbon" Merrie Melodies reissues- honored by the Academy Awards or not, those cartoons were booked into theaters again after several years to squeeze a little more revenue out of them. After 1956, production budgets were drastically cut, and both animation and title cards looked "cheap"....Paramount's front office attitude was, "cheap or not, they'll still make money for us".

  • @fromthesidelines also, there's the "reissue" variant, on which the film company was reffered as "A Paramount Champion" as most of those shorts were awarded by the academy

  • Actually, the "Jack-in-the Box" was the symbol of Paramount's "Noveltoons" from about 1948 through 1955. When Harvey Publications bought ALL rights to the 1950-'62 Paramount cartoon library [setting up Harvey Films to distribute them after 1959], the "Jack-in-the-box" became their "Harveytoons" symbol, including every refilmed title card on the Paramount cartoons.

  • oh, "ups and downs derby" haven'[t seen that toon in a while

  • where did you find this "poor" version?
