Hi, HF. Yes, there's some of that in his personality, certainly after Warren Foster took over the series. Like Bilko, Yogi would use flattery or a little conning to get his way, though he was far less aggressive and a little more hammy than Bilko. Top Cat may be H-B's most derivative series...

Neo Ultra Mike makes some good points. Let me add that Yogi Bear is not based on Ed Norton. His voice is based on Norton. You could even say his vest and hat are borrowed from Norton. But as a character, he is decidedly not Norton. Ranger Smith didn't exist until he was invented by Warren...

The series' best-before date had long expired before either of these cartoons were made. Iptumcea mentioned "Photo" is a little overrated. I don't know by whom. I've never heard anyone talk about it.

You actually watched this several times? The cartoon says the animators are Vinci, Fraser, Sparey and Webster. I don't know anything about the last two. Carlo's stuff was pretty watered down by 1965 so I can't tell if it's him. It might be Fraser. The cartoon's voice credits are wrong...

I don't buy it. Why would his "exclusive contract" apply to media other than theatrical films? He was already doing children's records and appearing on both radio and then television. Interestingly, Mel claims in his book he got a call from Joe Barbera about doing The Flintstones. Nothing about...

Funny, I thought it was clearly a cartoon. F. Fox http://yowpyowp.blogspot.com

Freelanced? According to whom, Ben? F. Fox http://yowpyowp.blogspot.com

The two sold the company to Taft Broadcasting in 1966. F. Fox http://yowpyowp.blogspot.com

Whether you read blogs or not is not germane to my question. Nor is it an answer. "Looking up" alternate voice actors isn't going to provide me with facts about a specific programme, is it? You're the one making the claim. It's not up to me to prove it. Kindly point me to a cartoon so I can...

Can you direct me to a cartoon where he appears as Moose? It certainly wasn't in the first few Archie series. Filmation saved money by employing an extremely limited voice cast .. Webb, Irvin, Morris and McKennon. Vince Terrace credited him as Hot Dog in a 1977 "Bang Shang" incarnation of...

Weren't you the one who led off the thread with "Flip the Frog"? Isn't that a character and not the name of a cartoon? I know your post was with good intentions but just keep that in mind. Much like a "best" overall cartoon, I don't think a "worst" can be named for the simple reason that...

Only if you want to come up with the conclusion first, then come up with some speculation to make everything fit. MGM didn't want the Iwerks cartoons. It dropped the release in 1934. The copyright on the Iwerks films was held by Celebrity Productions. So you're saying that company sold...

Why? All these companies were distributors. The cartoons were owned by the Iwerks studio. The title card of Flip's first cartoon says "Produced and Drawn by Ub Iwerks." MGM, incidentally, didn't release the ComiColor shorts. Instead of "most likely" and speculation based on sheer guesswork...

As usual when it comes to cartoons, there is more than one "creator." Anderson seems to have come up with the original concepts. They were developed by Bill Scott and others. F. Fox http://yowpyowp.blogspot.com

Oddly enough, called Pied Piper Pipe. Pop Nature's Pup. There's a summary on the blog. It's a great end gag because it comes out of nowhere. Snooper and Blabber's Masquerader Raider has a Yogi reference. F. Fox http://yowpyowp.blogspot.com
