Hare Ribbin' (1944) Part 1/2

 

September 17th to September 18th I will be talking about Hare Ribbin' (1944). My favorite classic cartoon that has the best animated frames, art has ever conceived.

It's all thanks to this dog.

 

I will be mostly taking advantage on the frame bits of this cartoon, cuz all of them mostly are either meme-worthy or perfect.

Let's start.

I have to really study animating like this, the lip syncing is lively in these sets of pictures. 

This is by far the most memorable scene in the cartoon. The smearing in the 4th picture is something I always wanted to learn and this really helps.

 

"MEEEEEE-ooooooow." is a hilarious line from this dude. And here is some of the frames. See how he stretches his mouth and you can see half of his eyes in the 4th one. It's really fun to look at. 

When Bugs begins to interact with the dog, he stretches his ears and it's extremely cartoony as well as the part where Bugs stretches his tongue.

Pretty much alot of characters that deal with Bugs Bunny really think to themselves. This dog by far has the best facial expressions when it comes to it. 

How come when Bugs Bunny memes become a thing, they rarely use Clampett's frames of him, I mean there's the Big Chungus and "No" meme but that's it really. The 3 pictures I took have to be at least mentioned.

Usually cartoon characters where they dash for revenge they have this spiral, spinning animation. 

Love the background. And nice detail with the shadowing of the water.

 

Next time I'm willing to talk about the rest of the animated bits to this amazing cartoon. But you'll have to wait tomorrow or go to the next page to view it. 

Montreal Fox And Spoiled Brat

 Back when I was a sophomore, I started to create characters that would become a main stay in the Artmania series. And in the last few months I made this fuzzy fox named Montreal. I thought the name sounded catchy. 

The more I drew him, his colors were more recognizable like with his light pink pants.

Montreal Fox usually rivals with Spoiled Brat, a red bulb nosed cat who loves to catch the quick-witted fox, but whenever he gives up, he really does and acts like he's badly behaved. He mostly says "OOOOOOOOHHHH, I HATE THAT!"

Also when 11th grade was almost over and I'm getting to be a senior in high school, I did some info on these guys.

Yes. If you read that, Montreal Fox's cartoons are paying homage to Tex Avery Cartoons just like with Cat Burglar. Montreal Fox was inspired by Screwy Squirrel, as well as Bugs Bunny and MC Skat Kat. Spoiled Brat was inspired by Meathead Dog, Yosemite Sam and Tom (Tom and Jerry).

I actually remade my first drawing of Montreal Fox's pose.

Montreal Fox's first short is going to be the 50th episode in the Artmania Series. I planned it and I'm sticking to it. 

My Cute Space Uromos

 

About a year ago I made these cute little creatures that live in space. They come from all different looks, colors and personalities.

The introduction starts like this -

There lived small critters, in a medium sized window, in a big rocket ship.

I also made the planet that they are exploring. 

They look like this.

They were inspired by these cuties in Looney Tunes cartoon "Russian Rhapsody" that cartoon is really wacky and I found it to be a classic. And these designs are worth remembering for my drawing career.

What I wanted to do with these creatures, is to make them playful, and comedic. They go by saying "Yip, Oi, I, Moy" or random 2-3 letter words that have no meaning but fit the characters well. 

The reason why I named them Uromos is that it felt new and space-like. It's pretty much original as well.

I first sketched these in June of 2023, by that time I was watching a ton of Looney Tunes and I was stuck watching wacky, funny characters for the most part. Some of these uromo characters are actually based on classic hollywood celebrities. 

They come as really friendly and endearing spirits, they are all willing to move, dance and sing.

I will be able to make an episode of these guys once I'm a pro. It will be like my 30th episode or something, I have no idea.

Yesterday was kinda busy, so good to be coming back after 2 days. 

See you next time on what I'm going to post next. Bye-a! 

Mickey, Donald And Goofy Work Together Perfectly

 

Mickey, Donald and Goofy always have timeless personalities and fun adventures. Nearly almost 90 years ago, all 3 of them pretty much had the best classic disney shorts to offer. 

My favorite by far has to be Mickey's Service Station (1935). The animation is rubbery and has a little bit of tap-dancing in here and I love it. Also I love the plot, they have to fix a broken car and it reminds me of an episode of The Three Stooges. It's a masterpiece.

Also really enjoyed Lonesome Ghosts (1937). Highly recommend you watching that, and Boat Builders (1938), has some really funny moments and slapstick.

Most of the time in all of these classic shorts, their might be a stunning frame like this one.

The problem is, there wasn't enough of these and they stopped teaming up in the early 40s. 

It wasn't forgotten though that these characters would team up in more recent series like Mickey Donald And Goofy: The Three Musketeers (2004) and the newer Mickey Mouse Shorts.

Before I end it here, this is a 20 second scene from 1937's Clock Cleaners. It's hilarious and when I first seen the cartoon, I remembered these animated bits. Original credits goes to Disney and the channel who made this clip, The Best Rewatchable Movies.  

Anyways hope you enjoyed a more short post today. See you next time, Bye-a! 👋 

Artmania Cartoon Cats!

 Pretty much the first post on my blog that only includes my current artwork. I didn't want to keep on talking about cartoons I didn't make for a long streak, so I decided to take a break and show you my new recent characters.

Artmania Party Cats!

Ralph The Cat. He's the most recognizable of the bunch even though he's a bit of an introvert. He always has the right to speak.

Gilbert The Freckled Cat is the main lead singer. He has alot of energy, hardworking, efficient, and has a perfect voice. He also loves to sing 40s music. In my opinion my favorite decade of music ever.

Roots The Cat is the smooth singer of the bunch. He's also light-hearted. Earning himself as a hippie like personality since his name is Roots, he examines more grounded experiences.

Ol' Hiredhand is the most helpful member in the party. He's also got a smoky tail, some say that his tail can literally make it hazardous. You have to be careful about this cat because if you dare step on his tail, you might experience something burning on your feet.

"Ay, fellas this guy has two-tails! Why would we never be born like dis guy?" said a bunch of alley cats meeting on one of the most unique and surprisingly overlooked member in the cat party, Roscow the Double-Tailed Cat is known for being playful, energetic, and is good at sports. 

Marcoco Polo-Lolo is the shortest of the lot. His name obviously is a inspiration on the famous explorer, Marco Polo. Unlike Polo, Marcoco Polo-Lolo rarely explores at all and likes to be mischievous and quick witted.

One of the latest posters I made was a pitch on Glenn Miller's classic song, Kalamazoo. When I made this poster, I loved the original song. Glenn Miller is one of my favorite musicians and his songs can be really relaxing, and this is by far his best. When I'm going to make fanmade animations on classic music, the first one I planned on doing is the Artmania Cats sing Kalamazoo in a Bob Clampett like cartoon. Bob Clampett is one of my favorite animators. 

When this amazing song gets into the public domain in like the late 2030s, or if i can get rights to it, I will be making it into an animated music video. 

The cats were inspired by my favorite cartoon, Kitty Kornered (1946) with the 4 zany cats. Highly recommend you watching it, it's hilarious, and also features my favorite character, Porky Pig. 

Maybe soon I should talk about Classic Cartoon Cats and Dogs on my blog presumably this month.

Have a good day and I will make another post tomorrow like always. 👍 

Reviewing Fantasia (1940)

 

I watched a few classic disney movies already like Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs, The Three Caballeros, The Adventures Of Ichabod and Mr. Toad, and Alice In Wonderland, and now I recently watched Fantasia. And I thought it was incredibly massive.

This isn't going to be a long review. I'm simply just giving my own thoughts about every chapter in the movie. 

Toccata And Fugue In D Minor

The first music segment in the movie and I have to say it's my least favorite easily, but then again it's the start and there are alot of positives to it. The colors are really vibrant and even though I don't like to experience abstract art, it's very well animated here. It's an easy distraction.

The Nutcraker Suite

Now this is where it really begins. I really like the animation of the fairies, and the mushroom dance segment was cute. Everything else is just really comfortable to look at.

 

The Sorcerer's Apprentice

Mickey gets his own scene in this segment and he's really enjoyable, this is easily the most iconic part in the whole movie. It's really unforgotten and has a good plot to it. I have nothing else to say than it's just perfectly good.

Rite Of Spring 

This is by far my favorite segment in the entire movie. I was astounded by the volcano and lava part, it just felt too professional but in a good way and the animation on the dinosaurs feels something not really by Disney. It's one of the best and still looks massive even after 80+ years. Love this one.

The Pastoral Symphony 

This is also among my favorite parts of this movie. The colors are absolutely amazing and the characters are really vibrant, playful and heartwarming. This is one of the more longer ones but it's really good for being this long. 

Dance Of The Hours

This one is solid even though it gets better once the crocodiles appear.

Night On Bald Mountain

People say that this is one of the best parts of the film, and while I don't agree too much on that, I can't disagree either. I love the animation and it feels a certain vibe. Could be good for halloween even. I saw a few clips of it and I'm glad I seen all of it.

Ave Maria

The last segment of the entire movie. It's a good way to end it. I like it. 👍 

This was such a great watch that it was just beautiful from start to finish. I'll have to admit it, it's not my favorite classic disney film, I tend to prefer a film with more realistic, and funny characters, but it's still a classic gem. I'm giving this an 8.5. The reason why I'm giving this a 8.5 instead of a 9, it's because it's not a movie I would want to watch again, and I kinda wished there was a little bit of sound effects or at least a word out of the characters especially the crocodiles in Dance Of The Hours, but you know what, they don't need to do that because it's perfectly good by itself. I'm planning to do more movie reviews in the future. 

Anyways have a good day and I will see you next time. Bye-a! 👋
