Stan Freberg got screen credit for "The Three Little Bops". Therefore, he's the only exception besides the cast of "The Jack Benny Program" on "The Mouse That Jack Built" that recieved credit besides Mel
In the final years ...( 1 day ago by ACcountryFan)
In the final years of the studio releasing theatrical cartoons, Mel's "exclusive" contract as voice actor wasn't in affect. In several of the lesser known cartoons from this period screen credit is given to June Foray, Larry Storch, and Ralph James. Storch is most notable as a face actor in the comedy show F-TROOP but for Warner Brothers he did the voices of Cool Cat and Col Rimfire. But, as far as the Golden Age of Warner Brothers, only Mel received credit except on the cartoons you mentioned.
In the short, ...( 1 day ago by ACcountryFan)
In the short, TRANSYLVANIA 6-5000, Ben Frommer and Julie Bennett are given screen credit along side Mel. His name is written in bigger letters with the other two voice artist's names written in smaller print. Frommer was the voice of Count Blood Count while Bennett voiced the two headed vulture.

The joke is based ...( 1 day ago by ACcountryFan)
The joke is based on a radio program called THE ALDRICH FAMILY. A character named Henry was the focal point and his mother's catch-phrase of "Hen-reeeee!! Henry Aldrich!!!" was heard at the opening of the show with Henry's meek reply "coming Mother!!!".
Henry Fonda didn't play the role on the radio...the writers were simply blending the ALDRICH FAMILY reference with Fonda's first name. Ezra Stone played the role of Henry Aldrich. The radio show ran 14 years, 1939-1953.
I have the same DVD ...( 1 day ago by ACcountryFan)
I have the same DVD where he refers to Freberg being the "only person" to receive a screen credit besides Mel Blanc and if he's referring to the "Golden Age" he's correct. The Golden Age is typically anything that was released prior to 1960 but some say it stretches into 1963. The purists will say the Golden Age is anywhere from 1939 to 1958 or 1940 to 1960. It depends on which historian, critic, fan, or nostalgia buff is speaking.
When a baby is ...( 1 day ago by ACcountryFan)
When a baby is inside it's mother the baby is inside some sort of bubble, at first, and given that Lorre had an eccentric personality and given the movie roles he was famous for they made Lorre come across as being so deranged that he actually remembers being inside his mother and liking what he saw. I'm not strong in biology or anatomy...it may be called a placenta...or something!?! But anyway, that's the way I took the line.
the bubble you are ...( 1 day ago by tanrat7)
the bubble you are inside before you are born is called the amniotic sac, the placenta is what attaches the umbilical cord to the uterus.
thanks for the info ...( 1 day ago by ACcountryFan)
thanks for the info! I knew it was something...and in my mind that's the only thing Peter Lorre had to have been referring to.
for those who stumble onto this cartoon and any cartoon for that matter made before 1965...99% of them were made for movie going adults. When the cartoons started to air on TV for decades they were watched by kids even though the original intent was adults who went to the movies. Made for TV cartoons didn't come along until the late 1950's.

"The Coo-Coo Nut Grove" is on THE GOLDEN COLLECTION, VOLUME THREE; a DVD collection of four discs. Several of the Hollywood cartoons are featured such as "Porky's Road Race", "Hollywood Capers", "Daffy Duck in Hollywood", "Swooner Crooner", "The Woods Are Full of Cuckoos", "She Was An Acrobats Daughter", "Speaking of the Weather", "The Film Fan", and "Goofy Groceries". Most of the cartoons feature spoofs and gags centered around Hollywood movie stars or radio actors/actresses. It's DVD #2.

I believe the joke is on Hardy's weight...needing two women to dance with to make up for his own size.

I like how "smooth" this cartoon is compared to other cartoons of the day, including Disney and other Avery shorts. All of the characters move like real people rather than cartoon characters - nothing fast or zany, all realistic
And the Cary Grant, Peter Lorre and Bing Crosby impressions are spot-on
