@@thepopcultureauteur9638 this was a color cartoon to begin with. It was never made in black and white. This is merely a black and white print. Go back and watch the cartoon and see how it was produced in Cinecolor
King Features, which owned the Snuffy Smith character, hated this cartoon so much that they requested that all copies be destroyed, including the original negative. By some miracle, this copy survived in France of all places.
That’s not true. We’ll never know what King Features thought of the cartoon, but for the most part, the contracts for their film series stated that they would be destroyed after 10 years. Exceptions were the sound Krazy Kats, Popeyes, and the Blondie movies
This is the only Paramount Animation Studios Inc. “NovelToon”cartoon that starring Snuffy Smith is his only solo appearance without Loweezy Smith & Barney Google. He will return later in 4 additional theatrical cartoons with his mention co-stars under the King Features Syndicate & Paramount Cartoon Studios “Comic Kings” series umbrella and many more cartoons that’s part of “Krazy Kat & Friends” aka “The King Features Trilogy” syndicated tv show. Also, this is the only Famous Studios “NovelToon” in the CineColor process.
Because King Features wasn't happy with the way Paramount/Famous depicted Snuffy on screen. That's why virtually all prints {and the negative} of this cartoon were destroyed. If you have any further insights on this, Ray, I'd appreciate it. 🙂
Just to add, although it said it was credited as Cinecolor, most likely it was originally filmed in SuperCinecolor. The 3 color version of the original 2 color Cinecolor.
I wonder which scenes Jim Tyer animated himself(usually the most violent scene). But yeah this cartoon isn’t really the best. But this was one of two noveltoons supervised by tyer(the other being the much better cheese burglar from earlier in 46). And I do like lost media being found so that’s good.
Yes, that was a disappointment. However, this has cultural significance since it references things that were happening in Post World War II America. That alone is why this cartoon should be preserved in its original state.
It was produced in Cinecolor, but King Features (owner of the Snuffy Smith character) ordered the negatives of this cartoon to be destroyed. A worn and spliced black and white print of this cartoon turned up on eBay a few years back, and then this higher quality print came up.
@@toonsguy9782 Thank you very much for reuploading this treasure in this nice quality! How can we find the intial upload of the BFI? Is it somewhere available for free?
@@toonsguy9782 David Gerstein was the first one to find a print of "Spree For All" in Europe. But he found a different print. It has French subtitles. The opening titles were replaced with new credits in French superimposed over the headshot of Snuffy Smith and the Paramount logo at the end was replaced with a French Paramount logo. And the print has splices and other wear. This print is in much better condition. Even though this print has the original titles, there's no credit for the background artist.

This cartoon is the main reason why physical media should never go away

Seeing the Paramount ending down the bottom saying in Cinecolor, Technicolor, and Polacolor makes this look cool
We need the color version.
FINALLY! This really, really needs to be preserved, restored and colorized.
I hope so
Nooooo! It needs to remain B&W

How come ?
No, the previous copy came from France. This new scan with the original titles comes from the British Film Institute
@@seitisetsoh4991perhaps it was a print made for international release that was never returned to Paramount.

I don’t think king features played it quite fair. After-all, I wish I could see them all. I also like the one from the 60’s.

NOTE: This 1946 Paramount Cartoon Is Rare
Right.. . . just like the _VAST MAJORITY_ of Paramount Cartoons in general, pretty much.
But it was destroyed long before their entire pre-1950 cartoon library was sold to U.M.& M. TV in late 1955.
@@fromthesidelines -- What was destroyed in particular?
@@DLCOrganizationthis cartoon
I can see why there was only ONE theatrical cartoon.
That's a really broad statement. Would you care of expand on that opinion? WHY can you see why there was only ONE theatrical cartoon like this?

I really wish they find cinecolor filter on this

This is likely a Black and white Red-Orange tone print that was used to produce the prints in France.

This is like the cutaway from Family Guy with the man living between the Hatfields and the McCoys.
Nice, very nice! I wish there's more to be rescued. 📽
Color prints were said to be lost as well the negatives.
At least two black and white prints are known to exist: this one, and one found in a French archive.
@@fromthesidelines The BARNEY GOOGLE cartoons made by Screen Gems in color are lost.
Unfortunately. That's true. Perhaps they were of better quality than the Paramount version.
Some of them survived as silent B & W home movie prints. Two of them , "Tetched in the Head" and "Spark Plug" are on You Tube.
@@fromthesidelinesThe French one was actually from eBay.
This closely followed the comic strip Snuffy after serving his hitch in the millitary during the war. But no Loweezy!
Yes, that was a disappointment. However, this has cultural significance since it references things that were happening in Post World War II America. That alone is why this cartoon should be preserved in its original state.
I just love hillbilly cartoons. very funny!
The Last Black and White Paramount Cartoon
Color washouts aside. . .

Lost media that has almost been found

Thanks!
You are welcome!

It says it’s in Cinecolor, but it’s all just black and white
It's a black and white PRINT of a color film.

'Noveltoon' pre 'Harveytoon'
'Noveltoon' before 1953.
Wow
A black and white cartoon…in 1946?!
