Of the instructed ingredients as follows:<br />1) One mean, stupid cat.<br />2) One sweet, loveable mouse (oh, really?)<br />3)Assorted deadly weapons , such as a watermelon that somehow doesn't rot from expiration after being in a box for two days.<br />4) A judo book for dummies (complete with the mean stupid cat and the sweet loveable mouse saying Ahhhhh-Chhuuuuccckkk!)<br />5) The patience of MGM's suits growing thin, wondering if they made a mistake about letting Bill & Joe out of their contracts after turning down their requests to make cartoons for a lower budget.<br />6) The coffee & cigarettes for Gene Deitch & William Snyder(what kind of hard liquor do they have in Czechlovakia?) <br />7) The exit of Geno & Bill after their thirteen cartoon quota runs out in 1962,to be replaced by Chuck Jones & Sib-Tower 12 Productions a few months later.<br />8)The low budget paid for the music that still sounds like it was recorded in a bathroom.<br />Result: Gene Deitch's cartoons for MGM may have not been the greatest, but they still are quite interesting after decades of reruns on syndication and cable TV.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3738012638904762739.post-61597031380682013682014-12-26T08:12:17.692-08:002014-12-26T08:12:17.692-08:00As far as we know, that coffee could have been Iri...As far as we know, that coffee could have been Irished up.joecabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16862252671814767307noreply@blogger.com
