Here is the link to the full video!

Animation nerds: check out the background art by Irv Wyner in 1956's Two Crows from Tacos. The choice to use flat pink skies and bluish cacti is a masterclass in drawing the viewer's eye exactly where it needs to be on a tight budget. 🎨🖌️

Wile E. Coyote Boycotts ACME! - There They Go-Go-Go! (1956) - Looney Tunes Review Looney Tunes Review Project: Short #784 of 1000.I guess Wile E. Coyote finally got fed up with his mail orders, because today we are looking at the 1956 Chuc...

Check out the review here:

What's your favourite non-ACME gag from the series?Paired with Treg Brown's heavy sound effects, it's animation perfection. But the real highlight? Chuck Jones perfectly capturing Wile E. Coyote's complete existential crisis. 10/10. 💥 #LooneyTunes #AnimationHistory

Nerd alert: There They Go-Go-Go! (1956) is one of the rare shorts completely devoid of ACME branding. It also features Philip DeGuard giving us the first consistently stylised "yellow sky" for a full short. 🎨🎬

Here is the review:

Until then, come join me for a deep dive into the history of this classic short, Jack Hannah’s directing style, and why Donald eclipsed Mickey in the 1950s.

My review of Bee At the Beach (1950) has officially left the Patreon Vault.

A quick side-note to Disney: Please just re-release the Walt Disney Treasures sets! I am fully aware of how insanely expensive Volume 3 has gotten on the secondary market. We just want physical media! 📀🦆

Forgotten 1950s TV Parodies Explained - Wideo Wabbit (1956) - Looney Tunes Review YouTube video by Anthony's Animation Talk

Full video here: Forgotten 1950s TV Parodies Explained - Wideo Wabbit (1956) - Looney Tunes Review
youtu.be/nfgz-2G84og

Fascinating animation quirk in McKimson’s ‘Wideo Wabbit’ (1956): The TV producer's jacket features a static pattern that stays flat against the background rather than moving with his body geometry. A brilliant budgetary shortcut that gives the character a surreal, modern-art feel. 🎨📺

Porky Becomes the Catch - Fish Tales - Short (1936) - Looney Tunes Review YouTube video by Anthony's Animation Talk

New Review for Fish Tales (1936) now live!

Animation nerds: If you want to study the musical transition at the Schlesinger studio before Carl Stalling and Milt Franklyn took over, listen to Fish Tales (1936). Norman Spencer's heavy reliance on the woodblock and his original "Mr. Fish" motif is a fascinating auditory time capsule. 🎼🎬

Hollywood's Strangest Propaganda Commission - Yankee Dood It (1956) - Looney Tunes Review YouTube video by Anthony's Animation Talk

youtu.be/fTskvmSR4LM

Animation nerds: If the electrocution gag in Yankee Dood-It (1956) looks familiar, it’s because Freleng's unit lifted the exact coat-hanger/frayed-wire setup from 1950's Canned Feud. Also, Milt Franklyn sneaking Raymond Scott's "Powerhouse" into a lecture on factory machinery? Chef's kiss. 🎨🎼

Daffy's ONLY Sherlock Holmes and He's TERRIBLE At It - Deduce, You Say (1956) - Looney Tunes Review YouTube video by Anthony's Animation Talk

My new review covering this amazing short is now live on the channel! youtu.be/_-_L6T1dAuQ

It’s an incredible clash of 1930s character design against bold 1950s stylization. 🎨🖌️

Animation nerds: You need to study Maurice Noble’s art direction in Deduce, You Say (1956). Some of the best ever. Also: The background characters in the "Henry the 8th's 5th" pub heavily borrow from British illustrator Ronald Searle's scratchy, ink-heavy aesthetic from his WWII POW days.
