Cartoons and Hell

[FlooterFlatter]

The Big Bad Wolf in "Three Little Bops" (you gotta be hot to play real cool)

Rattfink in the end of Art Davis' "Cattle Battle" (El Diablo Gultch)

This one is short, but when Tom lands trying to get Jerry in "Jerry-Go-Round", Tom ends up in a hole and gets kicked out by the devil. He didn't really go to hell though.

 

[Nick]

Private Snafu goes to hell at the end of "Spies".

 

[ThePeterNetwork]

Okay, okay, I seriously have one.

I was watching one of the training shorts on my On The Front Lines DVD (I believe it was called, "Stop That Tank"), and it had Hitler leading a fleet of tanks to soldiers armed with the anti-tank rifles. Anyway, the rifles are successful in defeating the Germans, and Hitler is rewarded by tumbling down a deep hole and into the bowels of hell where the devil translates Der Fuerher's incomprehensible rantings.

I still say that classic animation depicting hell creeps me out. That's why I plan to become a ghost should I find myself in fire and brimstone.

It kind of freaks me out too. As a child I refused to watch looney tunes for about a yeaar for fear of running into "Devils Feud Cake". That cartoon caused many a nightmare for a six year old girl.

The Death in two Family Guy episodes: Death is a... and a unknown episode (season 2)

Daffy Duck disguise in evil in Show Biz Bugs

That Would Be Death Lives (306/2ACX21)

though I don't beleve there were any hell scenes in Death Lives i know of one in the ep "death is a ..."

 

[Cartman]

There is also the Silly Symphony THE GODDESS OF SPRING.

Thank for the other episode starring Evil (not compared by the Evil in Billy and Mandy)

No hell scenes appear but the Evil appear all of this episode

If you thought that was scary, you should've seen the Jack T. Chick tracts this one lady would give us kids each Halloween in lieu of candy. Yikes!

 

[SloppyMoe]

Another one--

That apple-filching little punk, Andy Panda, dreamt he was in a "forced apple consumption" hell, run by his devilish doppleganger, in APPLE ANDY (1946 Lantz).

 

[The Spectre]

Daffy Duck disguise in evil in Show Biz Bugs

He did wear a devil costume, but he ascended upwards after blowing up, so one assumes he's going to heaven rather than the other place.

I wonder what Friz's fixation with death and the afterlife was... we have Satan's Waitin', all the versions of Devil's Feud Cake, Show Biz Bugs, the Three Little Bops...

 

[Budman]

There are details about a "lost" Famous Studios cartoon featuring Bluto as The Devil and Popeye and Olive journeying to Hell up at my website:

[John Pannozzi]

Piccolo (Dragon Ball GT)

Fry and Bender (the last ep. of Futurama)

In one of the Futurama comics, The Robot Devil fakes his own death, and Bender becomes the new Robot Devil in Beezlebot's absence. He makes Fry and Leela his slaves yet he treats them pretty well, and only forces him to wear stupid devil horns and help torture the robo-sinners.

In another ThoH segment Homer goes to Hell because they don't see his only good deed.

Sounds like it could've been a Tyer cartoon, esp. the "free-wheeling" part. Not entirely unlikely given a couple of the production drawings.

I agree that it's a shame it wasn't made. It sounds great, esp. given the time period.

 

[Davesnothere]

In the Famous Popeye short "Seein' Red, White, and Blue", the devil throws Popeye and Bluto out of hell after they drop in uninvited by crashing through the sidewalk.

 

[Feslmogh]

Let's don't forget Hefer's trip to "Heck" in Rocko's Modern Life after choaking on a chicken at Choaky's Chicken in To Heck and Back .

 

[John Pannozzi]

At the end of "The Simpsons bible stories", the whole family goes to Hell.


from http://www.snpp.com/episodes/AABF14:
>> Highway to Hell

The episode's ending, with OFF descending into the nether world, had at least a few viewers scratching their heads. Was what we saw real, or just a nightmare?


Brian Leahy reasons: Well, it could have been a dream-within-a-dream. In any event, the ending was clearly not part of the regular continuity, or there couldn't exactly be a next episode, unless it was the Simpsons frying in hell. Myself, I put it in the same drawer with the Halloween episodes -- funny, a bit creepy, but not "real" -- (as if the rest of the series WAS real.)

On the other hand, maybe the Simpsons DO go to hell, and it's exactly like Springfield. ;-) Or maybe they should have shown the Simpsons descending into hell, and being welcomed by Binky, Bongo, and Sheba!


Andrew Levine offers these explanations: Here are a few ways that the distinctly non-canonical ending can be explained away

- This episode takes place after all other Simpsons episodes, hence OFF going to hell is the last bit of Simpsons chronology, and all future episodes happened beforehand;

- It was Maggie's dream;

- The events took place in an alternate universe;

- God screwed up and ran the apocalypse a few years ahead of schedule, then said "Whoops!", went back, and spat everyone back to Earth;

- It was just Kang and Kodos playing a joke on the earthlings;

- Each subsequent episode is just a dream a Simpson has while in hell;

- It's just a stupid cartoon and we should forget about it.

I think it was just one of those non-linear episodes like the THOH's where continuity isn't an issure.

And then there's the closing gag from The Hole Idea.

 

[ThePeterNetwork]

If you thought that was scary, you should've seen the Jack T. Chick tracts this one lady would give us kids each Halloween in lieu of candy. Yikes!

I think I actually saw one of those comics. Scared me worse than anything, and reinforced my promise to become a ghost or either never die.

EDIT: That lost Popeye short does sound interesting, but it probably would have been very sensitive material to screen before the public.
