Podcast appearances and mentions of Bob Clampett

With Ub Iwerks gone, Bob Clampett was left to take over the cartooning unit, and his own sensibilities started to quickly become apparent, even if they weren't allowed completely free reign with Chuck Jones still there. In this short, we see some Clampett start to stretch his wings with evil cute characters while Jones has fun giving detailed animation to an ancient dog. Is the cartoon any good? Listen to find out!

Chris and Alex take a look at animation's historical and troubling relationship to race with this examination of the Censored Eleven, a collection of controversial Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies cartoons produced during the 1930s and 1940s removed from syndication since 1968 for their inclusion of harmful and offensive racist stereotypes. Topics include histories of animating the other, identity, and experience within the medium and legacies of minstrelsy performance; the visibility of Black culture and jazz-based parodies like Bob Clampett's Coal Black and de Sebben Dwarfs (1943) against more hidden (and no less damaging) iconographies within cartoon representation; and what it means to confront such legacies of racism within the critical study of animation, and if erasing any and all mention of the Censored Eleven pretends that racism in Hollywood did not exist. **Fantasy/Animation theme tune composed by Francisca Araujo** **As featured on Feedspot's 25 Best London Education Podcasts**

While Warner Bros' output has been increasing in quality in the late 30s, largely thanks to new blood like Tex Avery and newly-impowered blood like Bob Clampett, one member of the old guard in particular is still around and has been a lot slower to change: Fritz Freleng. Much of his output has largely been echoing the stylings of the Harman-Ising era, a style that's more and more at odds with the rest of the studio. But Freleng DOES change, even if slowly, so how does this cartoon of his hold up? Listen to find out!

We present our The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie review!The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie is a 2024 American animated science fiction comedy film produced by Warner Bros. Animation. Directed by Pete Browngardt in his feature directorial debut, it is the first fully-animated and theatrically released film in the Looney Tunes franchise based on entirely original material. The film is spun-off from the Looney Tunes Cartoons series developed by Browngardt and features the voices of Eric Bauza, Candi Milo, and Peter MacNicol. The film follows Daffy Duck and Porky Pig as they try to save Earth from an alien scheme.In 2019, while working on Looney Tunes Cartoons, Browngardt was asked if he had any ideas for a new Looney Tunes feature film. Browngardt eventually settled on the premise of a "sci-fi B-movie from the '50s," starring Daffy and Porky. He took inspiration from features of the era and shorts starring the cartoon duo. Warner Bros. Animation, alongside several vendors, provided the animation for the film, of which its character designs were modelled after the style of animator Bob Clampett and Tex Avery. Joshua Moshier, who previously worked on Looney Tunes Cartoons, composed the film's score.Upon its announcement in 2021, The Day the Earth Blew Up was originally set to be released on HBO Max and the "ACME Night" block on Cartoon Network. The film however premiered at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival on June 11, 2024 and had a limited release in the United States on December 13, 2024 by Ketchup Entertainment, before expanding wide on March 14, 2025. The film received positive reviews from critics, and has grossed $5.6 million worldwide against a budget of $15 million.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59

Is this trip really necessary? Or rather, is this podcast a little too of the moment?? Well, half of it, anyway. The animation industry became pitchmen for rationing, selling war bonds and other ways to help our men and women overseas during World War 2, while also taking every pot shot the Hayes Code would allow them to at the fascist powers we were opposed to. Can we bring that energy back? Please? Anyhow, we've got Donald Duck, Popeye, Woody Woodpecker and a batch of oddly familiar gremlins.

This time we take a look at Gabby's final two (of three) appearances in the original Looney Tunes shorts, each one increasingly directed by Bob Clampett (with Chuck Jones as assistant director!). Does Gabby's character improve over his first appearance? Does Bob Clampett's direction win out against Ub Iwerks in quality? Are either of these cartoons worth watching today?

There are many Looney Tunes director that are well known and spoken of today, be they Chuck Jones, Tex Avery or even Bob Clampett.

Enter Frank Tashlin, a man whose appreciation of live-action cinematic techniques was brought with him into his cartoons, bringing them an extra flair. How's this earlier short of his hold up?

Daffy was most frequently at his Daffiest under the directorial vision of Bob Clampett. The rubbery animation and wild, exaggerated takes he employed made the screwy duck probably his most effective character to express his individual sense of what was funny. Pemmy and James explore one of Bob's earlier Daffy cartoons co-starring with Porky Pig in Porky's Last Stand, before diving into a trio of Bob's masterpieces from the tail end of his tenure at Warner Brothers: Draftee Daffy, Book revue and The Great Piggy Bank Robbery.

Ruth Clampett is this weeks guest! Ruth, an author, co owner and founder of Clampett Studio Collections and daughter of the legendary Warner Brothers animator and director, Bob Clampett. I'm this episode we talk about her dad, Bob, how he got into the business, working with the other legendary Warner Brothers directors and so much more. It's hard to state just how important Bob Clampett is. My earliest memory of any cartoons was “The Great Piggy Bank Robbery”. Until this chat I have had very vivid dreams of this cartoon for many weeks leading up to this and not realizing it why. It wasn't until talking to Ruth that this was my first cartoon experience and I'm so thankful that it was a Clampett cartoon. Out of all of the directors, I truly feel like Bob and Tex are my guys. I truly hope that you enjoy this episode, I know I sure as hell did!

In this episode, Hugh and Jenna explore their first historical piece of media, the Censored Eleven cartoons made by the Warner Brothers animation studio in the first half of the twentieth century, that were then banned for their racist overtones. These shorts were directed by some of early animation's big hitters including Tex Avery, Chuck Jones and Bob Clampett. As Jenna takes Hugh though the some of the eleven cartoons, they discuss the stereotyping of African American people, cultural appropriation and the cherry-picking of culture, and why and should we be still discussing these shorts. And Jenna confuses Mel Brooks for Mel Blanc. Recorded August 2019

Did you know Gabby Goat, Porky Pig's one-time miserable sidekick, helps illustrate a fascinating chapter in the story of Warner cartoons? Listen as we discuss Mickey Mouse co-creator Ub Iwerks' crash-and-burn directing for Leon Schlesinger, and how Bob Clampett took his place! And just why did Clampett's own one-time pal Chuck Jones become a disgruntled goat himself during these days? Hear all this and more, and a breakdown of Clampett's second cartoon, Get Rich Quick Porky, Gabby's classic era farewell.

Mars ain't no place to set a movie. In fact, it's cold as hell. This is a lesson Andrew Stanton would learn in 2012 when the release of his dream project, a mega-budget adaptation of Edgar Rice Burroughs' massively influential John Carter novels, was met with spectacular apathy from critics and audiences alike. Released a month before The Avengers, this mocap-heavy sci-fi/fantasy/western was going to kick off the next great Disney franchise, but inexperience, bad timing, and one of the most ill-advised marketing campaigns in recent memory doomed it to the scrap heap. A shame, since it's one of the most charming and lovingly-crafted adventure flicks of the last decade. In this edition of How I Learned To Love The Bombs, we detail how a Pixar director with no live-action experience rescued John Carter from 80 years of Development Hell, the trilogy and more we almost got from a team with three Oscars and a Pulitzer between them, Lynn Collins' turn as the 2010's most unsung action heroine, and how this movie is one Ocean Master away from just being Aquaman.

This was an unannounced, and unamplified, "secret" show recorded at Wisteria after Stang had tricked everyone into thinking the "studio" was shut down for the day. He lured Rev. Susie the Floozie and Rev. Faux of Hypercube up to Tarzan's Radio Station (cheap mics and a mixer on a picnic table), where they simply had a typical SubGenius conversation, not that there really is such a thing. There's also Puzzling Evidence and some music tracks inserted: Evolution Control Committee, The Slot Rods, and an NCN/Firesign Theatre smashup. A few of the topics: Asshole SubGeniuses. Unreleased but edited X-Day DVDs. Teeters and hooters. Winn Dixie vs. Piggly Wiggly, Bob Clampett, Beanie and Cecil cartoons, and the Wildman of Wildsville. The Hidden Ass of Cecil the Seasick Sea Serpent -- what is he hiding? Townsfolk, pagans, Starwood and X-Day. THE SECRET OF DICK DOBBS REVEALED. When Wei was evil. How many of each species fit in Noah's Ark, vs. the Space Shuttles?

NWP welcomes legendary Hollywood studio head and author Ruth Clampett. Ruth's father Bob Clampett is responsible for Tweety Bird, Porky Pig, Bugs Bunny and many of your favorite cartoons! Ruth Clampett: Founder, Creative Director of Clampett Studios Ruth Clampett, daughter of legendary animation director, Bob Clampett, has spent a lifetime surrounded by art and animation. Graduating with Distinction from Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, Ruth opened her own Design/Photography studio in 1984. During this period she also taught Photography to designers at UCLA for three years. In 1985 the Clampett family established the Bob Clampett Animation Foundation and began selling limited edition animation art taken from Bob’s original drawings. Ruth became Creative Director and produced editions from Bob’s Warner Bros. And Beany & Cecil cartoons for the growing animation art market. At the end of 1992 Warner Bros. Decided to develop their own gallery division and brought Ruth on as Creative Design Manager. Ruth began her position at Warner Bros. almost fifty years after her Father left the studio. Eventually promoted to Vice President of Design for all store product, Ruth and her team of thirty-five Designers and Illustrators created over 2, 000 entertainment related products per year, including animation art and gallery gifts that were sold in stores throughout the world. After the closing of the WB Studio Stores, Ruth was awarded the license to continue the gallery business, and established Clampett Studio Collections in fall of 2001.  Bob Clampetts daughter Ruth Clampett, studio head and Hollywood Royalty. www.northwestprime.com www.clampettstudio.com www.ruthclampettwrites.blogspot.com

It was a term once used to describe exceptional jazz musicians. African-Americans spelled it “hepcat,” while their white counterparts heard “cat” and assumed “hep” to be a modifier. Hence, “hep cat.” In 1942 Bob Clampett created the first color Looney Tunes cartoon, The Hep Cat, featuring an unnamed feline that would later develop a lisp and become known as Sylvester, (derived from silvestris, the scientific name for the cat species.) Soon, people were being referred to as all kinds of cats, as in cool cat, crazy cat, and “hep” became “hip.” And it all came from the African Wolof word “hipikat,” meaning, “someone finely attuned to his/her environment.” Makes sense, right? An inspired improv from a blower in sync with his fellow jazz musicians would trigger the rejoinder “hipikat” from a bystander familiar with the African word. Anglos heard “hep cat” and a new, misheard word was born. Language is an interesting thing. If you enjoyed that brief summary of “hep cat,” then you're definitely my brand of crazy. I enjoyed it, too. Arooo! Aroo-Arooooo! New subject: Winning a Race Nothing changes when you win a footrace. But the person who wins the hearts of men and women can wonderfully change the future. Do you have the skill to win the eye, the ear, the doubting heart? Can you win the human race? Wizard Academy is a school of the communication arts. The majority of our students come to us to learn how to create ads that will make them money, make presentations that will make them money, or win promotions at work that will make them money. The footrace of business holds a magnetic attraction; it never ceases to draw a crowd, easily winning the mind and wallet. Please don't think I'm disparaging it. But the heart, the heart, remains in the hands of the arts. Journalists and novelists and screenwriters and musicians, painters and poets, playwrights and performers, sculptors and singers, architects and photographers shape our ever-changing mood and guide us toward the future. Artists such as these are attending Wizard Academy in increasing numbers since the methods and principles we teach are just as easily applied to the arts as they are to business. Alumni interested in furthering their knowledge of the heart-arts will be delighted to know that discussions are continuing with acad-grad David Freeman to bring his paradigm-expanding Visual Emotioneering course to Wizard Academy. David is currently the object of an epic tug-of-war, with Hollywood pulling him into movies and Japan pulling him into video games. Both are willing to pay whatever it takes, but David really wants to hang with his homies at the Academy. Stay tuned. Another Acad-grad Writes a Big Book: Bag the Elephant (subtitled, How to Win and Keep BIG Customers.) Steve Kaplan is the nicest guy you'll ever meet, the boy every mom wishes her daughter would bring home for dinner. He could easily have been a regular on Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood. So did Steve became rich as a salesman because he was nice, or in spite of it? In his new book, Steve tells you exactly how he bagged the elephants, and how you can, too. I strongly suggest you pick up a copy at your local bookstore, or http://wizardacademy.org/welcome.asp (order one at amazon.com,) (discounted there to just $13.57 in hardback.) Grab it now, before the first printing is all sold out and a waiting list is formed. And keep your eye on the bestseller lists. Wizard Academy grads are on the move. https://www.mondaymorningmemo.com/newsletters/what-kind-of-cat-are-you/ (Join us,) and become hipikat. Roy H. Williams
