MUSICLAND (1935)





PLUTO'S QUINPUPLETS (1937)



What a cute title card!

This first digitally re-assembled pan shot starts with the pups, pans up to the name on the doghouse, then pans left to the proud parents.


Isn't this a gorgeous backyard? I especially love the flower trellis. and note the artful disarray of the pots on the rear right - along with a bag of fertilizer and the old-fashioned lawn mower!


I could have digitally eliminated the worm but I liked him...so he stayed!












This huge pan B/G took considerable time to re-assemble. But whata great pice of B/G art!

The end of the cartoon and it's night-time...

The final restored pan:

ROGER RABBIT guest appearances...

I've really enjoyed all the comments stemming from the new format here.

regarding ROGER RABBIT guest appearances..

Is the painting in this scene a beaver, or could it be MGM's Screwy Squirrel?

A side by side comparison shows it's not Screwy Squirrel. Right gloves, right shape nose but wrong color, wrong cheeks and tail color doesn't match...

Next - is the doorknob here the one from ALICE IN WONDERLAND?

Again, a side-by-side says no. Different mouth, eyes, eyebrows and "hair." Definitely similarities, but no match.

Trivia: Did you know the original ALICE doorknob was voiced by Joe Kearns, the actor who played Mr. Wilson on the original "Dennis The Menace" TV show? It's true!
