All of these cartoons went into production and would have been assigned a production number. There's no abandoned or rejected cartoon named 'Kitty Foiled' on the list. So it must have been a name change. Sometimes, original names were later brought back for different cartoons.<br /><br />Hi ZZMike. The cartoon is 'Baseball Bugs' with backgrounds by Paul Julian. And, yeah, Jones told that story about Eddie Selzer a lot.Yowphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09264605351878574044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3738012638904762739.post-42211951076696057402011-10-21T14:22:30.695-07:002011-10-21T14:22:30.695-07:00[First time here - from OTRCAT]
Cartoon trivia: ...[First time here - from OTRCAT]<br /><br />Cartoon trivia: We saw a selection of Chuck Jones rarities a while back. One of them is a baseball story, where Bugs single-handedly plays against a team of "bad guys". (I forget the title.)<br /><br />One of the ads along the field fences is for "Filboid Studge". It's on-screen for 20 or 30 seconds. I remembered the name from the short story "Filboid Studge, the Story of a Mouse That Helped", by Saki (H. H. Munro).<br /><br />I don't know how many people of the time would have recognized it. Munro died in 1916. I think it was just a name that Jones (who read a lot and remembered everything he read) and crew liked the sound of. The other ads are also ones the people may have recognized.<br /><br />It also shows that Jones & Co weren't writing just for kids.<br /><br />Jones has a great story about when they were working on storyboards. They were all laughing over the storyline gags, and his producer (name?) stormed in and said "What does all this laughing have to do with making animated cartoons?". That same producer later accepted the Academy Award for the cartoon that won that year (I forget which one).ZZMikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16913899667726940233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3738012638904762739.post-48548204272786889282011-10-21T12:02:32.483-07:002011-10-21T12:02:32.483-07:00Kitty Foiled wouldn't be released until 1948. ...Kitty Foiled wouldn't be released until 1948. According to some "Production list" that used to exist on the Internet it said that Kitty Foiled wasn't in production until 1947. Unless "Kitty Foiled" was the working title for "Mosue Trouble" in 1944, before it was renamed or maybe another T&J cartoon that was abandoned. Or perhaps, Kitty Foiled only went as far as storyboards in 1944.Steven Hartleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13825398324719609394noreply@blogger.com
