    Best thing about Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies is that they never get old, never age and you are never too old or young for these masterpieces, sure, they may not show half of the content nowadays. But nothing beats sitting back, relaxing with some classic golden age cartoons as the Warner Bros. shorts. I'm 34 and still love them.

      Ofc you can’t outgrow Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies, especially considering the fact that part of the franchise wasn't meant for kids.

    Man is it great to hear all of these! The first prototype has so many good ideas, and it evolved into a timeless classic. Here are my faves:
    3:10 just about perfect everything is well-integrated
    3:36 great pace, very percussion-forward
    3:56 kind of has everything well-balanced
    4:16 the best of all, that piano glissando at 4:27 shows the full energy of the selection

  • @ClassicTVMan1981X
    @ClassicTVMan1981X 9 ปีที่แล้ว +22

    WB originally created the Merrie Melodies series (replacing the failed _Spooney Melodies_, one of which included "Crying for the Carolines") as a vehicle to showcase the songs that were owned by the studio's music publishing arm (as opposed to the Looney Tunes' premise of basing each short around a recurring star such as Bosko, Buddy, or Porky Pig).
    By 1940, however, this original contractual obligation was stifling the Termite Terrace boys' creativity, so Schlesinger relented and rewrote the contract so the Merries were now closer to the then-still-B&W Looney Tunes.

    • @ClassicTVMan1981X

      +Aquamassage MMs were only in color since 1934. For the 1933-34 season, only two shorts made it in color: "Honeymoon Hotel" (2-17-34) and "Beauty and the Beast" (4-14-34), both processed in Cinecolor. From the 1934-35 season on, all MMs were processed in Technicolor (although from 1947-49 Cinecolor was again adopted for a few shorts due to a strike).
      The Technicolor processing mode started out in bi-strip mode between "Those Beautiful Dames" (11-10-34) and "Billboard Frolics" (11-9-35), while the full-blown tri-strip processing mode was adopted starting with "Flowers for Madame" (11-30-35).

    @cartoonlover98: Originally, there was one difference between Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies, but you would have to look back before any of the characters we all recognize were presented.
    Looney Tunes would focus on recurring characters, like Bosko and Buddy (1930-34), while MMs were mostly one-shot characters, with few exceptions.
    It wasn't until all the familiar faces showed up that they decided to put them in both series, and while this removed any differences, they just liked having both names up for the sake of having them.

    There's also the theme used between "Jungle Jitters" and "Cinderella Meets Fella." As for ending themes, Plenty of Money and You" was the first Merrie Melodies short to include the ending theme, which used a unique variant. "Dog Daze" also had a unique ending variant, and a variant similar to the famous ending theme was used in "The Wacky Wabbit."

    What was the difference between this and 'the merry-go-round broke down'? Why did some use this and some use that?
    Is it to do with Looney Tunes v Merrie Melodies?

    You forgot the Richard Stone's arrangement for the ending of "Sylvester and Tweety Mysteries" (1995) and the extra-shortened version by Andy Sturmer for the "Merrie Melodies" segment at "The Looney Tunes Show" (2011)

    • @ZakWolf
      @ZakWolf  9 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      +Klandestinos Producciones That 1995 version was basically a closing credits theme, and Andy Sturmer's version was too strange, dissonant and atonal. He was not a good composer for Looney Tunes.

    • @KlandestinosProducciones
      @KlandestinosProducciones 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      +wileyk209zback that's true. But still so, I think the aforementioned 1995 ending version must be included in the clip. And I agree that Andy Sturmer's versions of "The merry-go-round broke down" and "Merrily we roll along" are musically lame.

    • @ZakWolf
      @ZakWolf  9 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Andy Sturmer was an even worse composer than Bill Lava! I'm glad he's not composing "Wabbit."

    • @KlandestinosProducciones
      @KlandestinosProducciones 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      +wileyk209zback Bill wasn't bad at all. He was lightly good with the background scores, but just got bad as arranger of the main themes. His best main theme was his version of "I know that you know", for the "Joe McDoakes" short subject series.

    who else expected Porky's stutterring th-th-th-that's all folks at the end? Absolute classic theme tune, a lot of 90s babies grew up on the Looney Tunes despite it being first released more than 70 years ago. today's generation is really missing a gem but who knows, maybe this insanely popular series will remain popular for decades to come

      Mishandling of the audio part of the tape was the reason for that version, which likely occurred when AAP first acquired this and the other titles that made up the pre-1948 WB library in 1956.

    2:30 and 2:49 are the same music. However the early 1938 version is sparsely different from 2:30 and the 2:03 version. If you wanna hear it, check out Jungle Jitters.

      It's on the 2003 Looney Tunes cartoons that were intended to be released theatrically. They feel more like "What's New Scooby-Doo" or something instead of the classic shorts.
