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

Ugh, and the kids at my old job are like, "Looney who?"
and then go off to watch Chowder...
-
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?
-
I always preferred the Looney Tunes intro to the Merrie Melodies one.
-
wow this is the beginning!!!! my parents never told me that this was the beginning

If you have more of these, send them to Warner Brothers.

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).

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?
-
Well anyway thanks DJLarryT for posting these original titles!
DJLarryT, how DID you get these prints? Warner's own prints are Blue Ribbons!

Hey dude,
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.
Cheers
