Way too loud. "I keep a giraffe in mine" sounds familiar.
4:50 was the best 'j::j'
5:08 was so unexpected.

Yes! Thank you for putting this up! No one I've talked to seems to know this cartoon. Are there anymore videos out there for it?

The question is, ... ( 6 months ago by andyjay729)

The question is, WHAT were they smoking? :)
Seriously this is one of Warners' best. The Chuck Jones period was downright surreal at times. And you can't beat those facial expressions. I wonder; could this cartoon have been a reference to UFO sightings? This was around the time people first starting claiming to see them (early '50s), and of course they were widely dismissed as "mass hysteria".

Thank you so much ... ( 6 months ago by julesmalone)

Thank you so much for posting this! I happened to see it on Cartoon Network one day in 2002 when I really needed a laugh. Afterward, I spent a lot of time searching for it on DVD and elsewhere, as well as telling people about it. I eventually recorded it on VHS (and guarded it with my life), but I've been hoping for a better copy ever since then. I'm quite relieved!

As someone who has that "nasty, evil habit", that made me go back and take a look.
There are four smokers in this cartoon:
The stevedore (longshoreman) at the beginning
Man who calls police because the elephant is in his birdbath
Genevieve's mom (Marsha)
Man in front of crowd watching flagpole painter

LOL...it's been forever and a day since I've seen this one. I think one of the best scenes (and there are quite a few gems here) is the one in the psychiatrist's office -- ROTFL!!!
Michael Maltese was certainly busy in the fifties, to be certain...and definitely hitting his stride. Great writing!

Heeheehee...I think my favorite line from that scene was the one about her insistence that she was seeing lavendar men in the sugar bowl *right* as the elephant makes an appearance!!! (The "synthetic blond"-bit was good too, of course.)

Im Looking for a cartoon i dont know who produced it but it was based on figurative language. Some guy dies and explains his life to st. peter and uses all these figurative phrases... can anyone point me in the right direction?

I love this. Why wasn't it ever made into a series? WB probably lost big bucks by not doing that. This was great. BTW, that 'scientist' at the end reminds me of someone, does anyone else see it? If so, WHO does he remind me of?

I just noticed that ... ( 4 months ago by 2hotinaz)

I just noticed that the voices were done by Mel Blanc, RIP. Why did 'Chuck' Jones get the credit for these cartoons? He only 'directed' them, (whatever THAT means in reference to cartoons) The actual WORK was done by many other people. Yes, they did get credit for their work, but really, how does one 'direct' a cartoon? Still, I really loved this. I never saw it before, and I was a cartoon 'nut' when I was young. Thanks for sharing.

directing a " ... ( 4 months ago by elephantmarch)

directing a "cartoon" requires no less effort then directing anything in live action. Chuck Jones was particularly adamant and drew all the major key drawings for the animators to keep everything solid. A director does just as much "work" as the "many other people". The cartoon would be a mess is there wasn't a main person with the final say and vision on everything. For a "cartoon nut" you seem quite oblivious to how their done.

Very much agreed, ... ( 4 months ago by CantankerousAkane)

Very much agreed, elephantmarch. Anyone who assumes that animation direction entails nothing more than sitting around all day drinking tea while other people scramble to meet deadlines is really, REALLY speaking out of turn. 2hotinaz, do a little research before you go running your mouth like that! I would even argue that animation direction is MORE difficult and time-consuming than live-action film direction.
