Seems the humor of these WB cartoons were ahead of their time. They certainly set the standard for concepts that were being used decades later. Truly one of a kind and holds up so well.
That part was always cut on TV, going from the deadbeat dad from the Old Woman Who Lives in a Shoe to the Christmas mouse ending. As far as Native American stereotypes go, this isn't as offensive as the others.
@@canaisyoung3601 Exactly. Never got to see that scene on TV. Finally saw it when I got the Golden Collection Volume 5 DVD. It's pretty darn innocent and cute honestly. Not worth cutting.
The best gag in this one for me was always the one with dog reciting Star Light, Star Bright. I dunno why, but his manic happy reaction when his wish is granted and a tree suddenly appears just cracks me up. Also, I never quite understood why they shoehorned a Three Little Pigs gag into this one when the topic is supposed to be nursery rhymes, but, eh, it's still a pretty funny gag.
Correct. I believe that concept first came from Lewis Carroll from his sequel to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There.
I was just about to ask, "If Humpty Dumpty was never described as an egg, then where did that idea cone from." Thanks for answering the question. @@glowworm2

“Listen, doc. Be a little more careful where you shoot these things!”

9:52- Listerine's basic ad slogan in the 1920's and '30s was "And even your closest friends won't tell you".

6:04 Humpty Dumpty's dumpy.
As for Jack, are we sure he is not a Red Skelton character?
BTW, there is nothing in Humpty Dumpty that says he’s an egg.

i want to know what story involves a kid on a wall fishing in a bucket in the beginning illustration of this short?
I think it's Simple Simon. One verse reads:
Simple Simon want a-fishing
For to catch a whale
All the water he had got
Was in his mother's pail.
TEXXXXXXxXX!
You forgot the Avery
@ AVERYYyYYYYY
@@BrianLT Thank you, I'll tell you something, that didn't stink.
Please make a review for the looney tunes cartoon titled Tom Thumb In Trouble please
dont the 3 pigs look alot like Porky?
They do, but in different colored clothes that don't stray that far from the blue open shirt, red tie, and no pants he usually wears.
I Like Tex Avery but I would give this one at 6/10
Not a fan of the spot gag cartoons or do you feel that Avery wasn't on his A game here?
This was on HBO Max. It might still be, but I think this was taken off due to ethnic stereotypes.
