Author Topic: What is your fav. single reel cartoon? Jim Henk Master Film Handler Posts: 364 From: San Diego, CA Registered: Feb 2006 posted 02-27-2006 08:42 PM                     I still remember running Quest For Fire in 70mm, and "Duck Dodgers in the 24th and a Halfth Century" was on the first reel. Oh my... (few years ago...)  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 02-27-2006 10:33 PM                     I'll gladly watch ANY Warner Bros or Tex Avery cartoon any day of the week......

BTW, Leo, I came across Coal Black online, but the quality is pretty crappy, and the aspect ratio is way off. About three years ago, El Capitan in Hollywood showed Sleeping Beauty in 70mm ... a 35mm scope Toot, Whistle, Plunk and Boom played before it. As far as I could tell it was shown uncut, despite the stereotypes.  |  IP: Logged Rick Raskin Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1100 From: Manassas Virginia Registered: Jan 2003 posted 02-28-2006 02:55 PM                     Walter Lantz "Pass the Biscuits Mirandy" (1942) Disney "Der Fuehrer's Face" (1943) I've been looking for the Lantz cartoon for years. It seems to have vanished from the Earth.  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 02-28-2006 03:31 PM                     Actually, my all-time favorite are the Disney science series of "My Friend,the Atom", "Man in Space" and "Mars and Beyond" - these films are on DVD in the "Adventureland" metal can set. But, we can't forget the Bell Science Educational Films with Dr. Frank Baxter...all on 16mm films that we saw in school... sorry to got off-topic on this one...but stil were excellent films.  |  IP: Logged Bill Gabel Film God Posts: 3873 From: Technicolor / Postworks NY, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 02-28-2006 04:09 PM                     My favorite single reel cartoon is "Duck Dodgers in the 24th 1/2 Century" in 70MM. The print was struck to be played with select engagements of "Close Encounters" for Spielberg. It played with a few other features over the years like "Quest for Fire", "Divine Madness".  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 02-28-2006 04:20 PM                  quote: Monte L Fullmer Bell Science Educational Films with Dr. Frank Baxter ...I think they are all available on DVD ... I got them all on VHS a long time ago and while the production value look and contents are "dated", they still are cool!  |  IP: Logged Jonathan M.

The pronoun trouble sequence is great: Daffy: "SHOOT HIM NOW! SHOOT HIM NOW!" Bugs: "He does not have to shoot you now." Daffy: "He does SO have to shoot me now." I'm sure you all know how this ends (rather poorly for Daffy). The Tex Avery ones also already mentioned like "Magical Maestro" and "Swing Shift Cinderella" are also hilarious. There are so many others, mostly Loony Tunes.  |  IP: Logged Paul Mayer Oh get out of it Melvin, before it pulls you under! Posts: 3836 From: Albuquerque, NM Registered: Feb 2000 posted 03-01-2006 01:07 AM                        Warner Bros for me too. In addition to the above mentioned hunting trilogy (Rabbit Fire; Rabbit Seasoning; Duck, Rabbit, Duck!) I'd have to throw in Duck Amuck, Cheese Chasers, Racketeer Rabbit, You Ought to Be in Pictures, Bully for Bugs, Greedy for Tweety, Hillbilly Hare, Rabbit of Seville, Long Haired Hare, Knighty Knight Bugs... And on and on. Can't pick just one.  |  IP: Logged Allison Parsons Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 630 From: East Peoria, IL Registered: Oct 2004 posted 03-01-2006 02:26 AM                        quote: Monte L Fullmer But, we can't forget the Bell Science Educational Films with Dr. Frank Baxter...all on 16mm films that we saw in school If you've never seen it, check out The Educational Archives on DVD.
