<p><span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>Norm McCabe</b> had one of the longest histories of any director and animator to
work at Warner Bros. Animation, from his early days on "Looney Tunes"
and "Merrie Melodies" with the Leon Schlesinger Termite Terrace team in the
1930s <span> </span>all the way to his work on
"Tiny Toons," "Taz-Mania," "Animaniacs,"
"Freakazoid" and "The Sylvester and Tweety Mysteries" at
the Warner Bros. Animation offices in Sherman Oaks, CA, in the 1990s.
</span></span></p><span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-size: medium;">
</span></span><p><span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Norm's career at Warner Bros. lasted over 65 years! </span></span></p><span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-size: medium;">
</span></span><p><span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Starting as an inbetweener in 1932 at Schlesinger's, Norm was animating on
the Warner Bros. shorts by 1936, receiving his first on-screen credit for "Porky
In The North Woods" (Tashlin, 1936). </span></span></p><p><span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></span><span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></span></p><div class="separator" dir="rtl" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxEDXzo-aWAS7ewrb532zNvfEOhLTGw-V0wCD2DTlQVeAZ3JXNQtjyI9ZXh1BoIqqIQF-fp7yeTBzJFyCXpmYHO_EUjdf44CLSeoqWnt1gJ16Gzoch6F3DDgTWzDN5OYfGc7ylSLf_Vwyj8fbykIbs--Emzr49XFSMUr1O10QrtJZPZkSEHS5rPiSj/s575/porkyinthenorthwoods.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="430" data-original-width="575" height="478" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxEDXzo-aWAS7ewrb532zNvfEOhLTGw-V0wCD2DTlQVeAZ3JXNQtjyI9ZXh1BoIqqIQF-fp7yeTBzJFyCXpmYHO_EUjdf44CLSeoqWnt1gJ16Gzoch6F3DDgTWzDN5OYfGc7ylSLf_Vwyj8fbykIbs--Emzr49XFSMUr1O10QrtJZPZkSEHS5rPiSj/w640-h478/porkyinthenorthwoods.png" width="640" /></a></span></div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></span><p></p><span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-size: medium;">

Clampett.<span> </span>Among the greatest of the shorts
Norm animated is the beloved classic "Porky in Wackyland" (Clampett,
1938).<span> </span></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span> <br /></span></span></span></p><div class="separator" dir="rtl" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimIt1WRjdgE6MGbEQEsPB9a6Bg_tsFqq_Vq23GvDYZ1vjA6eDVBGc3MM621_NoI1Uaf5ee-BfI3zhl4jPgs9Ao9Iv6rvMyp3lksjSm2eLbTU1GEAnBHngdmf4_vYOZeowa7UDSkVhdxPPhanfaj-pHPuDEoMUQnbCH5kekBybKiloNgE-bMNpuqJpz/s755/Porky_in_Wackyland_Remastered_TC.webp" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="578" data-original-width="755" height="490" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimIt1WRjdgE6MGbEQEsPB9a6Bg_tsFqq_Vq23GvDYZ1vjA6eDVBGc3MM621_NoI1Uaf5ee-BfI3zhl4jPgs9Ao9Iv6rvMyp3lksjSm2eLbTU1GEAnBHngdmf4_vYOZeowa7UDSkVhdxPPhanfaj-pHPuDEoMUQnbCH5kekBybKiloNgE-bMNpuqJpz/w640-h490/Porky_in_Wackyland_Remastered_TC.webp" width="640" /></a></span></div><p></p><p><span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></span></p><div class="separator" dir="rtl" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidbHrRotrLa6FOV-CB-SkqLdLrk4bpSNosceatseyuJ6J6EVTTIiPvtGlGb8HPOMnWjcIiXzlOEKLpheAtIQ-gWxNVvqmPqEvbBrg-XFHXFHfL1bz5SLADKOysyDVk4J7ISPVa2C5Y2zdy0HTt43O540v2qd2p_YBGp7faLSYxu6hmvFPrY65_Cwi7/s800/MV5BMWE3OGYwODAtZDA4Ni00ODljLThkOTgtODAwZTVhZGI3NzlmXkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyMDY3OTcyOQ@@._V1_.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="584" data-original-width="800" height="468" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidbHrRotrLa6FOV-CB-SkqLdLrk4bpSNosceatseyuJ6J6EVTTIiPvtGlGb8HPOMnWjcIiXzlOEKLpheAtIQ-gWxNVvqmPqEvbBrg-XFHXFHfL1bz5SLADKOysyDVk4J7ISPVa2C5Y2zdy0HTt43O540v2qd2p_YBGp7faLSYxu6hmvFPrY65_Cwi7/w640-h468/MV5BMWE3OGYwODAtZDA4Ni00ODljLThkOTgtODAwZTVhZGI3NzlmXkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyMDY3OTcyOQ@@._V1_.jpg" width="640" /></a></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /><span style="color: #0b5394;">Norm was given his own unit at Schlesinger's in early 1941,<span> </span>and for the next three years, Norm directed
about a dozen Looney Tunes.<span> </span>Among my favorites
of these are "The Impatient Patient" (Daffy Duck, 1942), "Daffy's
Southern Exposure" (1942) and "The Daffy Duckaroo" (1942).<span> </span>Being cartoons made in the early 40s, they all
include lots of <span> </span>WW2 references.<span> </span></span></span><p></p><span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-size: medium;">

The Startoons Slappy cartoons include: "Slappy Goes Walnuts," "Guardin' the Garden," "Critical Condition," "...And Justice For Slappy," "Scare Happy Slappy," "Soccer Coach Slappy" and "Bully for Skippy," among others. All feature the brilliant voice performances of Sherri Stoner as Slappy and Nathan Ruegger as Skippy Squirrel. And many of the Slappy cartoons are written by Sherri, as well as John P.

Made it in college. The music is composed and performed by Parker MacDonell, and that's Parker singing as well. The entire cartoon is 11 minutes long. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">This 50-second clip was drawn mainly in colored pencil, with some inked lines on paper. This sequence covers evolution from the dawn of time to the present day, as we see the platypus evolve.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">The clip is below these images. </span></span><br />

<span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-size: large;">In Hanna-Barbera's YOGI BEAR cartoons from 1958 and onward, Boo Boo played Yogi's sidekick. But here's one thing about Boo Boo that has been strange from the very beginning: his design seems to change from one cartoon to the next. He might have a round head in a cartoon, and then be blocky in another. He might have no forehead at all in one segment, and then he'll have a long tall forehead in the next. The point is this: early on, the folks at Hanna-Barbara were not terribly concerned about having a consistent model sheet for Boo Boo. (Nor one for Ranger Smith.) </span></span><br />

Kelly's THE ANIMANICAST is the only weekly podcast dedicated to "Animaniacs!" It's packed with reviews, interviews and info about the
series. In this week's episode, they interview "Animaniacs"
producer/writer/story editor/voice actor and Slappy Squirrel herself,
Sherri Stoner. I chimed in too during the podcast. And there's a rumor

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">Monday, September 10, 2018, marks the 30th Anniversary of the premiere
of "A PUP NAMED SCOOBY DOO" -- the first show I produced at Hanna-Barbera. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">Thanks to
Bill Hanna, Joe Barbera, Jenny Trias and her team at ABC for giving me the job, and thanks to all the members of the Scooby
crew, including Kellie Martin (Daphne), Scott Jeralds, Lane Raichert, Charlie Howell, Bill Matheny, Jim Stenstrum, Alfred Gimeno, Paul Strickland, overseas animation supervisor Glen Kennedy, series composer John Debney, Scott Menville (Red Herring), Jayne Barbera, Jean MacCurdy, Barbara Simon, Amy Simon and, of course, Casey Kasem (Shaggy) and Don Messick (Scooby), among many others. </span> </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">Special kudos to Bill Hanna for directing the first episode, and to Joe Barbera for teaching me that we needed to use equally wild sound effects whenever we created "Tex Avery"-style wild takes.

<br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-size: large;">Music played a big role in the show, with composer John Debney giving the show a unique background vocal track and some great songs for the "Scooby Romps." I helped John write the lyrics for the Main Title of "A Pup Named Scooby Doo," for which Hanna-Barbera's legal department had me sign the following release. </span></span><br />

<span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-size: large;">At the time, I didn't know not to sign it. I was just thrilled that the show was proceeding and that it looked good and sounded good. Of course, I shouldn't have signed. </span></span><span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-size: large;">There's a lesson here. </span></span>Before you sign something, have your lawyer look at it! And then, probably don't sign it! </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-size: large;">A year or two before "A Pup Named Scooby Doo," Mitch Schauer and I worked on "The 13 Ghosts of Scooby Doo." Mitch is a brilliant producer and artist. </span></span><br />

<span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-size: large;">"A Pup Named Scooby Doo" was the first version of the Scooby franchise to be nominated for an Emmy Award. Here's an ad that ran in the trades during the Emmy voting season. </span></span><br />

<span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-size: large;">Unfortunately we lost to "Winnie the Pooh." </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-size: large;">But "A Pup Named Scooby Doo" was a hit with the kids, and its 27 half-hour episodes are still rerunning to this very day. Yes, they've been rerunning 27 half hours of "A Pup Named Scooby Doo" for 30 years! </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-size: large;">In fact, currently, Boomerang is running back-to-back episodes of "A Pup Named Scooby Doo" daily!</span></span><br />

Jones, Dave Tendlar, Rudy Cataldi, Carlo Vinci, Kenny Muse, Lefty
Callihan, Bob Hathcock, Mitch Rochon. Al Gaivoto and Roger Chiasson, and our bosses Bill Keil, Bob Goe and Jay Sarbry.</span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">As one of the greenest of the new recruits at the Hanna-Barbera studio, I had a lot to learn. I'd stay late and take work home over the weekends just to keep my footage up high enough to not get the boot. As assistants, we worked for the animators, and some of the animators, all seasoned vets, drew very rough poses and it wasn't always easy to figure out how to clean up their poses. The following sketch pretty much summarizes my first few weeks on the job. </span></span></span></span></span><br />
