Yeah, and becaus...(to J.Lee's post right above)<br />Yeah, and because Chuck got fired in 1962 he--with all due respect----told a "little white lie" about the studio folding in 1962, when it was still doing a number of shorts and the ambitious "Mr.Limpet" film, released in 1964. (Same as the last bacth of pre-DePatie Freleng Warner Bros.cartoons, including Bugs;'s last, "False Hare". All of those had a 1963 copyright.)SC <br /><br />PS That "WB closed their cartoon outlet in 1962" myth went on for LONG, didn't it? :)Pokeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15936757752447320636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3738012638904762739.post-37487459339871286952017-01-24T14:22:07.126-08:002017-01-24T14:22:07.126-08:00This short was produced in 1962.

The story may or may not be true, but the annoyance factor was definitely there on the part of the audience.<br /><br />(Also interesting that Abe Levitow get a co-direction credit here, since Abe had decamped to UPA two years earlier and was working -- secretly with Chuck and his wife -- on "Gay Pur-ee" when this cartoon was in production.)J Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15175515543694122729noreply@blogger.com
