Well, put me down for a vote of confidence on Chuck Jones.  It

Yeah.  And as someone else just said, Plucky always seems the roundest head
of all.  Personally I think it looks really funny.

Yeah.  I think babs looks good stand on tiptoes, stretching her legs like
that (read into that what you wish;  nothing intended :}  ).  I noticed, too,
her tail was round the whole time.  But let's check the intro to Tuesday's
episode.  I'm pretty sure the tail will be pointed.

>Anyone else want to comment?

I think what turned off so many people is that, as you said, the stories 
deviated greatly from any other TTA stuff.  Completely unique style.  I
don't have children;  I don't even want children;  but I found the HYD
stories to have lots of heart and feeling.  I don't see how Startoons could
be related to the scripts, so it must have had something to do with Henny
Youngman himself.  I found the change ... refreshing;  I can't really compare
this inner-emotion stuff to any other hardcore-comedy TTA episode.

  Looks like Tokyo to me. The faces are small and "clean", and the basic
open-and-close (very few alternatives) mouth animation pegs it as Tokyo.

  One of the [few] weak points of Tokyo animation: mouth movements are too
limited. Most Japanese animation is done by drawing first, _then_ recording
dialogue; as a result, mouths are animated as simple open-and-close sequences
(yes, Japanese animation looks badly dubbed even in the original Japanese).
Presumably Tokyo's TTA work has holdovers from this tradition.

>"And that's a wrap" - dunno (not TMS, pose-to-pose is too clumsy)

  Looks like an early Tokyo-drawn tag to me. In any event, the art is too
clean that it doesn't look like any other studio's style.

>"Parting is such sweet sorrow" - dunno       

  Tough call between Tokyo and Wang, but the way the mouth/beak is animated
to match the dialogue perfectly makes me tend to believe it's a Wang.

>"Let the show begin!" - don't think it's TMS, note eyes and "pillow-like"
>			arms and hands - too clean for Wang

  Seems to be a very clear Wang job to me.

  The problem with Wang Film is that their style is (IMO) very variable:
when they're really bad, you get really choppy animation and poorly-done art
(VIEWER MAIL DAY, for instance). On the other hand, when they're good, they
have a (to use the term) pillow-like style that I find enjoyable (Again,
see PROM-ISE HER ANYTHING or LOOKING OUT FOR THE LITTLE GUY)...

>"ROOOAAR -meow?" - The eyes, again.  Don't know.

  The "roar" is hard to tell, but the bit where Furrball returns to normal
("meow?") looks like all of the other times Tokyo has animated Furrball. See
"Optical Intrusion" for an example -- play it and the tag back-to-back, and
you'll be convinced.  B-)

  And I've dissected Fifi's tag in an earlier post.

  Yeah; that would have nipped this discussion right in the bulb.  B-)

  Since the rest of the whole dad-gum episode was animated by Startoons, I'd
readily believe that too.

I have to disagree here.  Maleficent, from Sleeping Beauty is my favorite.
She just has this amazing style.  Her first scene, where she calls out,
"Here me, all of you!" and then raps the flagstones with her staff brings
chills to my back.  I'm really bummed, because the last time I got to see
SB I was baby-sitting at this house with TONS of Disney movies, and the VCR
broke about 3/4s of the way through, so I missed the "... all the powers
of Hell!" line.  Also, her transformations and teleportations are beautiful.

Yes, it's ACME Cable, leader of ACME X-Force (WHAP SMAK BAM) Sorry (ouch).

  Ok, the first thing that struck me here was the animation style -
completely different from, say, TMS's HISMV.  (And the "Possum Swamp
Pauper" was doubly funny this time.)  All of the charcters seemed cuter,
especially Furrball in "Toonywood Squares" - and they all had these 
enormous cow-like pupils.  Not good, not bad, just different.

  Other notes: "Babsie and Buswinkle" is the most awesomest part of the
show (Hokey jokes!), followed on the heels by "Foot Loops".  The X-tra
long "Incredible Discoveries" (which happen to be for sale) just didn't
work for me, though - there was a bit on the Simpsons that worked a lot
better (cleaning off Edgar Allen Poe's tombstone).

  If the animation hadn't been so - different - I would have put this
even with the similar "K-ACME TV", but it runs close behind.  

  End Note: It's a GORGEOUS day out.  I didn't go to work.  You shouldn't.

Actually, I remember reading that a skunk will have no odor until actually
threatened, so even if you didn't like the odor, you should still be able to
be around her, you would just have to be *REAL* careful not to upset her :-) .

This was from a story in Reader's Digest about a woman who had a skunk for many
years as a pet, and the skunk never had any odor except for one time when it
got trapped under the covers of her bed and sprayed in panic... it was really 
funny because the end result was the skunk had sprayed itself and as it turns
out they don't like the smell either... the skunk was frantically trying to 
wash itself to get rid of the smell afterwards.  (Tell it to try some tomato
juice :-) ).

Sorry... a little off the subject, but good news to all the Fifi fans out 
there!  (I'm included in that group, BTW.)
