Singing Frog is my favorite. I took the idea of time capsules, made one with my students. No frogs,
Chuck Jones created some amazing cartoon characters over his career; crazy characters emerged from his creative mind, ending up on TV. As a child, I watched those cartoons over and over, not knowing or caring who did the creative work. All I knew is that I was always caught when one came on. In fact, they inspired me.
This is a compilation of some of Chuck Jones' most popular cartoon creations. It is about 5 to 8 minutes long.
“A lion's work hours are only when he's hungry, once he's satisfied the predator and prey live peacefully together”
“Every artist has thousands of bad drawings in them and the only way to get rid of them is to draw them out.”
"The Coyote is limited, as Bugs is limited, by his anatomy."
We are also fans of the singing frog, even having a "discussion" about the correct wording of the song. -Jenn
ReplyDeleteNever thought of that.
DeleteAmazing what we the viewer do not know. Yes there is a lot behind things we do not know. Thanks for opening just a little more of that. I was never much for cartoons, but our sons sure were.
ReplyDeleteLove from here

I would imagine dads were busy working, Mom was busy, so cartoons were our babysitter every now and then.
DeleteI love Looney Tunes! When we were kids, my sister and I used to laugh SO HARD at Michigan J. Frog and his poor, sad-sack human! I enjoyed both these videos, thanks!
ReplyDeleteLooney Tunes lives on.
DeleteI had totally forgotten Singing Frog! Hello My Baby is probably his best.
ReplyDeleteI wonder how many people were hooked by greed?
DeleteChuck Jones was such an innovative artist/animator. His characters will live on for a very long time! Thanks for sharing this -- they made me smile.
ReplyDeleteMy gr-son in Switzerland watched them. As a 4 year old, he sat on an empty bus and sang the "Kill duh rabbit" He even created his own costume.
DeleteI used to watch all of those cartoons when I was a kid. He was very talented.
ReplyDeleteWasn't he?
DeleteVery, very talented. He reached out to many people (not always children) all over the world.
ReplyDeleteNo, my generation grew up with his work. We were the first!
Delete"A lion's work hours are only when he's hungry,..."
ReplyDeleteDoes that mean I'm working 24 hours a day?
Yes. You might find that you have been working in your sleep. I have kneaded bread (a pillow) while sleeping.
DeleteThat singing frog would drive me loony as he seems to never stop. I remember that about the lions.
ReplyDeleteIt is time to watch those again.
DeleteSome great cartoons from times gone by.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Hanna Barbera can't hold a candle to them.
DeleteI love Looney Tunes, some of the greatest cartoons ever.
ReplyDeleteI am always entertained by them.
DeleteOh man, the singing frog cartoons drove me batty. Nowadays I get how story works and why the frog wasn't caught singing, but as a kid...
ReplyDeletePerception changes when we grow up.
DeleteWhat joy he and his contemporaries brought to our Saturday mornings.
ReplyDeleteSaturday morning cartoons. It was a highlight of the week!
DeleteSo many fond memories of Saturday morning cartoons and my favorite has always been Bugs Bunny. Thanks for the trip down memory lane and also the info on the talented artist!
ReplyDeleteYosemite Sam always got on my nerves, but I love the other characters.
DeleteJust smiles.
