The King And Odie #27 "The Legend Of Leonardo The Neat" (Part 1 of 2)

Segment from "King Leonardo And His Short Subjects," later repeated as part of "Tennessee Tuxedo And His Tales." The King And Odie cartoons consisted of two-part storylines; the second half of this one ("Home Neat Home") is included on the Tennessee Tuxedo "Complete Series" DVD but this first half was left out. Featuring the voices of Jackson Beck (King Leonardo, Biggy Rat) and Allen Swift (Odie, Itchy Brother).

These cartoons were made from clear plastic drawn on, then painted for every frame in the cartoon. I had friends at Hannah & Barbera that showed me. I have also used Maya graphics. The old way was a lot of dedication, and the foundation of todays graphics.

I first recall seeing this cartoon in color during Christmastime of 1977 and even recall thinking that because itchy brother called King Leonardo his royal brother that he really was but now I might gather that it's really just a figure of speach.

Jackson Beck(King Leonardo,Biggy Rat)and Allen Swift(Odie Colognie,Itchy Brother)were among the talented voiceover actors who helped bring the King Leonardo show to life.

Googi.Fascists...cheap and poorly drawn. Funny that is what I think of many of todays cartoons. It was the stories and characters that were very interesting to us.

[@fromthesidelines]

TV Spots (aka "Creston Studios") animated the original "KING LEONARDO" series....they also animated "CALVIN AND THE COLONEL" {1961-'62}, a few of the "Popeye" TV cartoons for King Features [1961], and the color version of "CRUSADER RABBIT" (1957-'58). TV Spots, however, did not have the same financial resources that Hanna-Barbera had; in fact, by the mid-'60s, their studio was closed for good.

[@fromthesidelines]

When new episodes of "The King and Odie" were featured on "TENNESSEE TUXEDO AND HIS TALES" in 1963-'64, they were animated by the same production unit that was responsible for "Tennessee Tuxedo": Gamma Productions, in Mexico.

+Barry I. Grauman The same studio that did the animation for ROCKY AND BULLWINKLE. Which is why many people mix up Total Television with Jay Ward/Bill Scott product.

The cartoons of this era were incredibly CHEAP looking
and poorly drawn, but served their purpose of keeping
kids occupied and helping sell whatever soap or tooth-
paste sponsored them. Shame to waste good talented
voices on such garbage.
