Get Lady P drunk enough and she can recite the whole of 'What's Opera Doc' complete with different voices and singing parts.

(Umm, yes, I know that "The Barber of Seville" is sung in Italian in the cartoon, but I'm wondering if that entire Woody cartoon is in Italian.)

Beer/Adrien: This thread wasn't intended to be all about Bugs Bunny to the exclusion of other cartoon characters, so it wasn't drifting at all until you showed up! "e.g." means "for example". Your Billy Connolly clip about colonoscopies doesn't belong here.

SharonA... I agree about Bugs, but Beer is "correct" in his post. Ya just gotta know the "inside joke". Unfortunately, I can't explain it. Hope you are cool with that much.

Great stuff!

One cartoon of Bugs shows him singing "I Dream Of Jeanie; She's a Light Brown Hare." Stephen Foster must be laughing his head off.

Fair enough, gnu. Glad to hear that Beer's impending meeting doesn't involve a deathbed scene or anything like that.

Back to the toons!!

Tex Avery -- "Symphony in Slang" (1951) Not much here that's musical, aside from the title, except for the piano player. Still funny, though.

Tex Avery -- "The Flea Circus" (1953?)

There were previous threads here on this theme, I even started one I think - but I can't find them at the moment.

A good many such cartoons were out on DVD - I have many opf them - and many of the Warner Bros stuff has interlinking and crossreferencing indexed Wikipedia entries.

There was one Merrie Melodies I'm trying to find, can't remember the title but it involved a baby elephant being used to carry logs in Africa or India. The baby elephant escapes to the United States and gets on the Yankees Team in NYC, and becomes a batboy. But the last line in the thing is the little one staring into the 'camera' and saying "batboy schmatboy, I'm still carrying logs!"

Still lookin' haven't found. My mother found it hysterical.

It's horrible quality and it's not too musical, except for the Mynah Bird which made several appearances in Merrie Melodies to the Fingal's Cave overture:

Thanks, folks, this has been a lot of fun. Just what I needed tonight!

Big Norman Voice, loved the orchestra one, esp. the tube-harp combo!

Beer, you've got Scotland on the brain! Thanks for both of those, esp. the Billy Connolly.

Loved the old Tom & Jerry cartoons. At Strathclydr University in the late sixties, the cartoons (not just T&Js) that were run at lunchtimes in the Student Union film theatre were generically known as "Freds", after Fred Quimby, producer of the T&J series. Always got a great crowd.

You've already listed my favourite T&J cartoon - "Is You Is or Is You Ain't My Baby?" - great stuff!

Gnu, thanks for this thread. My dad and I used to watch Bugs together. After he died, my step-mom held on to the Looney Toons DVDs that she'd given him for Christmas the year before he died and gave them to me last Christmas.

Small Fry

When my son was little, I bought lots of classic cartoon videos. Small Fry was one that really stuck in my memory because of the song.
I still have all those videos.

That Woody Woodpecker clip up at the top is Portugese, not Italian. It translates to "Prick-wood - Barber of Seville"

Some of them seem to have gone since they were posted. Copyright issues.

And if we're listing Fantasia, we've got to include the Italian animated film Allegro Non Troppo, which is loosely a parody of the Disney feature. The Bolero segement in Allegro Non Troppo is fantastic -- all of evolution in 16 minutes -- and the Sebelius segment a heart-breaker.
