Harman-Ising Productions

**Harman-Ising Productions, Ltd.** was an animation studio run by Hugh Harman and Rudolf Ising. They produced the *Happy Harmonies* series and it was distributed by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.

## History

Harman and Ising had long aspired to start their own studio, and had created and copyrighted the cartoon character Bosko in 1928. After losing their jobs at the Winkler studio, Harman and Ising financed a short Bosko demonstration film called *Bosko, the Talk-Ink Kid*. The cartoon featured Bosko at odds with his animator – portrayed in live-action by Rudy Ising; impressed Leon Schlesinger, who paired Harman and Ising with Warner Bros. Schlesinger wanted the Bosko character to star in a new series of cartoons he dubbed *Looney Tunes* (the title being a parody of Walt Disney's *Silly Symphonies*). The pair made *Sinkin' in the Bathtub* in 1930, and the cartoon did well. Harman took over direction of the *Looney Tunes* starring the character, while Ising took a sister series called *Merrie Melodies*.

The two animators broke off ties with Schlesinger later in 1933 over budget disputes with the producer, and went to the Van Beuren studio, which was making cartoons for RKO Radio Pictures. There, they were offered a contract to produce the Cubby Bear cartoon series. Harman and Ising produced two released cartoons for this series, but were in the midst of making a third cartoon when a contractual dispute arose. The pair left Van Beuren, but kept the completed cartoon and finally released it in the 1940s.

Harman and Ising had maintained the rights to the Bosko character, and they signed a deal with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer to start a new series of Bosko shorts in 1934. The two maintained the same division of work they had used at Warner Bros.: Harman worked on Bosko shorts, and Ising directed one-shots. They also tried unsuccessfully to create new cartoon stars for their new distributors. Their cartoons, though technically superior to those they had made for Schlesinger at Warner's, were still music-driven shorts with little to no plot. When the new *Happy Harmonies* series ran significantly over-budget in 1937, MGM fired Harman and Ising and established its own in-house studio, the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer cartoon studio.

Harman and Ising still found work at the time as animation freelancers. Harman and Ising lent their former ink-and-painters to Walt Disney while *Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs* was behind schedule. Disney afterward commissioned Harman and Ising to produce a *Silly Symphony* cartoon, Merbabies, in return. Disney reneged on a deal he had made for two other Harman-Ising cartoons to be produced for the studio. Harman and Ising sold the cartoons to MGM, and Quimby later agreed to hire the animators at MGM's cartoon studio.

Downhearted Duckling

**Downhearted Duckling** is a 1954 Tom and Jerry cartoon directed by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera.

## Plot

Quacker is crying, so Jerry walks up to him to try and console him. Quacker reveals that he was reading the story “The Ugly Duckling” and he got upset that the duck in the story looked like him. Jerry combs Quacker's feathers, but the duck looks at himself in the mirror and is still convinced that he is ugly. Jerry grabs a hat and a collar off his dresser and is about to give them to Quacker when he notices Quacker on a fence about to behead himself by letting an axe fall onto his head. Jerry pushes Quacker away just in time. Jerry puts the hat and collar on Quacker and has him look in the mirror, but the distorted mirror does not help Quacker's opinion on his appearance. Jerry grabs a better mirror off his dresser, but then notices that Quacker is gone. The duck is convinced that nobody loves him and that he is ugly.

He stumbles upon a sleeping Tom and wakes him up by hitting him on the head. He asks Tom to eat him, walking into his supper dish and salting himself. Tom places the bird in his mouth, but Jerry pulls him out before he completely slides down the cat’s throat. Jerry and Quacker hide inside a tree, but Quacker escapes again. This time, he places himself between two slices of bread and calls for Tom to eat him. The cat picks up the sandwich, but jumps up before Tom can eat him. The bird slides across the branch, which Tom eats. Quacker apologizes and asks Tom to pull out his tongue, which he does. The duck hops on, but Jerry pulls him away. The two hide in a barn next to a hen, but when running away, Jerry grabs the wing of the hen instead of Quacker. Angry, the hen pecks Jerry into the ground. Tom finds Quacker tucked into a pie on a windowsill. The duck asks Tom to eat the pie, but Tom refuses. Quacker asks "Pretty please?" finally getting Tom to agree. The bird tells Tom to open his mouth and close his eyes. Just then, Jerry arrives, pulls Quacker out of the pie, and throws the pie in Tom’s face.

Back at Jerry’s mousehole, the mouse gives Quacker a beauty makeover, but the duck feels that it is useless. Tom approaches the mousehole and snatches the duck away in a bag. When Tom dumps the duck onto his dish, he is taken aback by the appearance of him. As the duck walks in a robotic manner, the cat claws through the brick wall and makes a run for it. Quacker, still feeling that he is ugly, puts a bag on his head and sadly walks away. Jerry finds the duck and tries to remove the bag, but Quacker tells him not to and continues to walk away. A female duck happens upon Quacker and removes the bag from his head. He tells her not to do so, but she chuckles and tells him that he is cute. Quacker, delighted, walks off with the female duck into the horizon, but not before sharing a kiss.

Half-Pint Pygmy

**Half-Pint Pygmy** is a 1948 George and Junior cartoon directed by Tex Avery.

## Notes

* The working title was "Half Pint Pigmy".
* This is the last George and Junior short. The two shorts "Look Out Below" and "George and Junior's Christmas Spectacular" were made for *What a Cartoon!*
* This cartoon features the very different designs of George and Junior. Apparently, it failed to gain favor with audiences and was never used again for any subsequent releases.
* This short is seldom seen nowadays as it's rather racially insensitive and the fact that George and Junior kill themselves at the end.
* At the end, George and jr say D'oh before they end themselves. The expression would later become popular in the 90s thanks to The Simpsons.
* This is the only short of 1948 not to be reissued.
* The octopus in this short makes a cameo appearance in the 1988 Disney/Touchstone film *Who Framed Roger Rabbit* as a bartender at the Ink & Paint Club. He also appeared in the crowd of Toons in the final scene.

Tom emerges again and dives into the pool after seeing Jerry dive into it, only for him not to notice that it is Jerry, who plugs the water out, causing Tom to crash onto the floor and break into pieces. Jerry then dashes to the steam machine and pulls boiling water onto Tom.

Bird-Brain Bird Dog

## Plot

As quail season opens, Barney Bear goes downtown to buy himself a bird dog to hunt quail. Unbeknownst to him, he ends up getting a bird-loving dog. While out hunting, he tells the dog to get him "something to shoot at", so it sets up some cans along the fence for him. But when Barney tells him to hunt for birds with him, the dog refuses, showing off his Bird Lovers card. The dog then runs out into the woods to save a baby quail while Barney tries hunting for it.

The dog tries to trick Barney by pulling off a disappearing magic trick, but is busted and the bird escapes. Barney tries to shoot it but the dog pulls an entire blade of grass out from under Barney like a mat, tripping him. Barney chases the bird and hides behind a tree, to which the dog sneaks up behind him and draws the quail on his trouser seat. The dog shows it to Barney and, thinking it is the real bird, shoots himself in the rear.

Barney then coaxes the bird out of hiding, by placing a trail of bird seed that leads into his gun. Barney attempts to run home with the bird, but is tripped again by the dog and his gun is broken in half. The bird once again escapes to the railroad tracks. Barney tries shooting the bird again, and the bird runs away from the oncoming bullets. After the dog switches the tracks, the bullets fly around and hit Barney's bottom again.

The chase continues until Barney has the dog and bird cornered in a bush and fires at them. The dog pours ketchup all over him and pretends to have been shot. Barney ends up saying "Please don't die. I'll do anything!" to which the dog holds up a Bird Lover's Pledge to never harm another bird again, which Barney reluctantly signs. A bird closes Barney's eyes which has his eyelid say "The End" and that concludes "Bird-Brain Bird Dog".

* Final cartoon in 2-hue Technicolor/Cinecolor. Disney's contract with the company expired in 1935 allowing other studios to use the more expensive 3-hue Technicolor process.
Droopy's Tennis Open

Friz Freleng

**Isadore "Friz" Freleng** is a director who worked at MGM during the late-30s. He and one of his fellow directors, Chuck Jones, dominated the Warner Bros. animation studio after Leon Schlesinger left in 1944.

## Early career

Freleng was born in Kansas City, Missouri, where he began his career in animation at United Film Ad Service. There, he made the acquaintance of fellow animators Hugh Harman and Ub Iwerks. In 1923, Iwerks' friend, Walt Disney, moved to Hollywood and put out a call for his Kansas City colleagues to join him. Freleng, however, held out until 1927, when he finally moved to California and joined the Walt Disney studio. He worked alongside other former Kansas City animators, including Iwerks, Harman, Carmen Maxwell, and Rudolph Ising. While at Disney, Freleng worked on the Alice Comedies and Oswald the Lucky Rabbit cartoons for producers Margaret Winkler and Charles Mintz.

Freleng soon teamed up with Harman and Ising to try to create their own studio. The trio produced a pilot film starring a new Mickey Mouse-like character named Bosko. Looking at unemployment if the cartoon failed to generate interest, Freleng moved to New York City to work on Mintz' Krazy Kat cartoons, all the while still trying to sell the Harman-Ising Bosko picture. The cartoon finally sold to Leon Schlesinger, who soon secured Harman and Ising to star Bosko in the Looney Tunes series he was producing for Warner Bros. Freleng soon moved back to California to work with Harman and Ising once again. Friz Freleng would work under Schlesinger for a few years.

## Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer

In 1937, Freleng left Schlesinger's after accepting an increase in salary to direct for the new Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer cartoon studio headed by Fred Quimby. To Freleng's chagrin, he found he would be working on The Captain and the Kids, adapted from the popular comic strip, The Katzenjammer Kids. The series failed to achieve much success, much as Freleng had predicted. Though skillfully animated, the characters could not compete with the "funny animals" that prevailed at the time. After the series was terminated, Freleng went back to Warner Bros.

Innertube Antics

**Innertube Antics** is a 1944 Ol' Doc Donkey cartoon directed by George Gordon.

## Synopsis

Ol' Doc Donkey is trying to make a big rubber pile for wartime recycling but his pile is very small and he's is in dismay when he sees much larger piles of rubber from his neighbors but he finds a huge buried innertube but that innertube has a mind of its own.

## Notes

* This is the first appearance of Ol' Doc Donkey.
Circus Daze

**Circus Daze** is a 1937 *Happy Harmonies* cartoon directed by Hugh Harman.

## Plot

Bosko and Honey are two black children who have a wild adventure at the circus.

## Notes

* This cartoon is rarely shown on USA television due to potentially offensive African-American characterizations.
* This 1937 cartoon by Hugh Harman features the revamped version of Harman's characters Bosko and Honey, who began their celluloid lives as the first Looney Tunes stars. When Harman and his collaborator Rudolf Ising left for MGM, they took Bosko and Honey with them. Not long after, both characters received a complete makeover, "reimagined" by Harman as little black children.
* Though the characters are clearly stereotypical by today's standards, if one chooses to look beyond the stereotypes, it becomes apparent that the cartoon has a certain charm and innocence, evoking a bygone era in which the arrival of a circus to a small town was a real event. In a sense, it bears more than a slight resemblance to the Hal Roach Our Gang films of the period, in which real kids did things that real kids do, even if the situations they got themselves into were exaggerated for comic effect.
* This is the final short labeled as Happy Harmonies. The rest of the series wouldn't have the name billed in the title cards.
* Bosko and Honey are relegated to almost a supporting role here, their purpose mainly to engage in vaudeville-style patter. The spotlight is stolen early on by Bosko and Honey's dog Bruno and his bits of business with a particularly obstinate flea. Action is the byword-when the hapless Bruno unleashes the fleas, the pace becomes blindingly fast for a mid-30s cartoon. All the more incredible when one considers the evenly-paced, Disneylike fare Harman and Ising are normally associated with.

Barney Bear

Barney Bear image

***Barney Bear*** is a series of cartoons produced for MGM between 1939-1954. The title character is an anthropomorphic cartoon character, a sluggish, sleepy bear who often is in pursuit of nothing, except for peace and quiet.

## Creation

The character was created for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer by director Rudolf Ising, who based the bear's grumpy yet pleasant disposition on his own and derived many of his mannerisms from the screen actor Wallace Beery. Barney Bear made his first appearance in *The Bear That Couldn't Sleep* in 1939, and by 1941 was the star of his own series, getting an Oscar nomination for the 1941 short *The Rookie Bear*. Ising left the studio in 1943.

Ising's original Barney design contained a plethora of detail: shaggy fur, wrinkled clothing, and six eyebrows; as the series progressed, the design was gradually simplified and streamlined, reaching its peak in three late 1940s shorts, the only output of the short-lived directorial team of Preston Blair and Michael Lah. These cartoons tended to have a hint of Tex Avery's influence and more stylilized, rubbery movements—which wasn't surprising, as both worked as animators (and Lah ultimately as co-director) on several of Avery's pictures. Avery himself never directed a Barney short. The last original Barney Bear cartoons were released between 1952 and 1954, and Dick Lundy was responsible for those. In the films from the late 1940s and early 1950s, Barney's design was streamlined and simplified, much the same as those of Tom and Jerry were.

In the 1941 cartoon *The Prospecting Bear*, Barney is paired with a donkey named Benny Burro. Though Benny would only make two further cartoon appearances, he would later feature as Barney's partner in numerous comic book stories.

The 1952 cartoon *Rock-a-Bye Bear* by Tex Avery features his irritable, obnoxious, noise-sensitive twin brother, Joe Bear (voiced by Daws Butler). Also, in the 1944 Tex Avery cartoon *Screwball Squirrel*, Barney Bear is mentioned by Sammy Squirrel as he talks to Screwy Squirrel at the beginning.

The character was retired in 1954 due to the directors who directed his cartoons leaving the MGM Cartoon studio.

Barney Bear would not appear in new material again until Filmation's *The Tom and Jerry Comedy Show* in 1980.

## Home Video Releases

The only official material featuring several Barney Bear cartoons is the *MGM Happy Harmonies LaserDisc*. Only one side of the LaserDisc contains them, which means the full series has not been officially released with restored negatives by Warner Bros.

## Post-MGM appearances

An unidentified background bear character resembling Barney Bear made a headshot cameo in 1988 Disney/Touchstone film *Who Framed Roger Rabbit* when the Toons react to Roger's hand-buzzing trick.

Cellbound

**Cellbound** is a 1955 cartoon directed by Tex Avery and Michael Lah.

## Title

The cartoon's title is a pun on "spellbound".

## Plot

Spike plays a prisoner doing 500 years at Sing Song Prison. However, he has come up with an escape plan and starts digging a tunnel under his cell floor using a teaspoon, only temporarily stopping whenever a guard or the warden walks by. 20 years (and 6,500,004,385,632 teaspoons) later, Spike finally digs up through the outside of the prison wall. He returns to his cell to get his disguises but stops all escape activity when the warden comes walking by again. When Spike mentions to the warden it is his 20th anniversary in prison, the warden suddenly remembers it's his wedding anniversary and runs out to get his wife a gift. This prompts Spike to grab his disguises, and run through and out of the tunnel. Finally free, he gets into a train boxcar, where he guts out a television set to hide in it. Seconds later, the TV is hauled onto a truck and taken to Sing Song Prison. As Spike talks about the many places he plans on visiting, he suddenly sees the warden at his desk on the phone and goes into a panic. Turns out that the TV is the anniversary gift for the warden's wife.

After the warden finishes his phone call, he goes over to the TV to check it out using the listings from the newspaper. Spike realizes he must play out everything the warden wants to watch, using his disguises and careful positioning on the TV screen to do it; first is a Western movie, followed by a boxing match. The warden wants to watch horse racing next, but Spike uses a watering can to pour water across the screen and posts a sign: RACES CALLED OFF: RAIN. So the warden decides on a musical program instead, with Spike playing a "one-man band" that he greatly enjoys. After this, the warden turns the TV off, satisfied that his wife will enjoy it. An exhausted Spike, not wanting to go through any more, breaks through the bottom of the set and starts digging through the ground just as the warden picks the TV up and heads home with it. Shortly thereafter, Spike reaches the end of his path, only to end up back inside the same TV set, now in the warden's living room. The warden proceeds to show his wife how well it works, but when he "turns it on", Spike pops up and subsequently goes into a mental breakdown.

Homer Flea

**Homer Flea** is a MGM character from the *MGM* series. Homer Flea made a total of 6 appearances during the golden age of animation.

## Overview

Homer Flea was voiced by Billy Bletcher and his first appearance was in the cartoon *The Homeless Flea* in 1940. Homer Flea would appear in a total of 6 cartoons during the golden age of animation with the final appearance in the cartoon *Little Cesario* in 1950.

## Appearance/Personality

Homer Flea is a flea with black skin, blue jeans, a red nose and a tan colored hat with a blue stripe. Homer was more of a underdog character as he debuted with some of the biggest stars during 1940 such as Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd for Looney Tunes and Tom Cat, Jerry Mouse and Woody Woodpecker from his own studio. He was able to be witty like Tweety but more timid and less noticed by his enemies. Homer did manage in the world around him considering how large everything was to him. Homer was usually on the winning end of situations but suddenly in all his cartoons usually ended up back in the same situation as before, hungry and wanting to find a place to live. Homer was one of the few characters that did not transition into cinema scope with MGM.
