Hi, I'm Charles Dewandeler and welcome
to "Greatest Cartoons of the Golden Era, Volume 2."
If you enjoyed our first compilation,
you'll love volume two
because these cartoons are even better.
Our first cartoon is a spoof of the 1942 movie,
"The Man Who Came To Dinner."
The cartoon is called "The Wabbit Who Came to Supper,"
and it stars Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd.
Enjoy.

"P.S. But you don't get one cent
if you harm any animals, especially rabbits."
(upbeat music)
You're free now, little wabbit.
Go and romp and frolic in the forest.
Oh boy, I'm rich.
(upbeat music continues)
Okay, fellas, break it up. Break it up.

Today we're gonna watch not one,
but two of the greatest Superman cartoons ever made.
The first cartoon reminds me
of recent movies I've seen like "Terminator,"
which feature robots with artificial intelligence
trying to take over the world.
This cartoon is a similar concept,
but it came out over 80 years ago.
Here now is Superman in "The Mechanical Monsters."
(dramatic music)
[Narrator] Faster than a speeding bullet,
(Superman pings)
more powerful than a locomotive,
(train chugging)
able to leap tall buildings at a single bound,
this amazing stranger from the planet Krypton,
the Man of Steel,
(gong booms)
Superman!
(dramatic music)
Empowered with x-Ray vision,
possessing remarkable physical strength,
Superman fights a never-ending battle
for truth and justice
disguised as a mild-mannered newspaper reporter, Clark Kent.

Thanks, Clark, but I owe it all to Superman.

Our next cartoon is directed by legendary Chuck Jones
and Star's Daffy Duck with Elmer Fudd.
This time, Elmer Fudd is taking a break
from hunting rabbits so he can hunt ducks.
Daffy Duck doesn't like this very much,
so he challenges Elmer to a boxing match.
Enjoy.
(gentle music) (ducks quacking)
(suspenseful music) (gun fires)
(Daffy vocalizing) (gentle music)
(gun fires)
Duck shot. (whooping)
(gun fires)
More duck shot.
Confidentially, those hunters couldn't hit
the broad side of a duck.
(gun fires)
(Daffy sniffing)
Ah! They got me. (groaning)
Yipe.
(torpedo whistling)
(Daffy thuds)
[Elmer] Get him, Laramore.
Retrieve him. Retrieve him.
Take it easy, Rover.
That's no way to retrieve a duck.
Look.
(ominous music) (Laramore thuds)
Gentle like. See, Laramore?
(mouth creaks)
Hello.
Sorry I had to plug you, Mr. Duck, but I am a sportsman,
a great, great sportsman. (laughs)
A great sportsman, eh?
(Daffy scoffing and huffing)
Sportsman.
Listen, sport, you don't know the meaning of fair play.
What chance has a poor, helpless,
fluffy little winged creature like me against you?
You with your bullets, and your shotgun,
and your knife, and your duck call, and your hunting coat,
and your hunting dog, and all kinda stuff like that there!
What protection have I got?
A bulletproof vest, I suppose. (chuckles)
How did that get there?
How would you like to meet me in a fair fight, Mr. Sport?
All things being equal, man to man,
Marquise of Queensbury rules.
Huh? (scoffs)
That's different, eh?
Yeah, that's somethin' else again.
Yeah, you don't like that, do ya, sportsman?
No. Yeah, yeah.
You don't like it, huh? (grunting)
(hat thuds)
Don't like it.
(dramatic music)
Ladies and gentle ducks!
In that corner...
(announcer laughing)
In that corner. (laughing)
He's a dog. (laughs)
You can have him. (laughs)
What a tramp. (laughs)
Elmer Fudd.
Hello.
(crowd booing)
Hooray!
(objects clattering)
And in this corner, a duck who needs no introduction,
that outstanding exponent of clean sportsmanship,
that champion of champions, your friend and mine,
our own, our beloved Daffy "Good to His Mother" Duck.
(crowd cheering)
Boo!
(objects clattering)
Now boys, fight clean.
[Crowd] Oh brother!
No rough stuff.
None of this. (elbow thuds)
Or this. (foot thuds)
Or like so. (tail feather thuds)
Or this, or this, or this. (feet thudding)
You understand?
(bright music)
Yeah, you mean none of this. (elbow thuds)
Or this. (bell dings)
Or like so. (foot thuds)
Or this. (metal reverberates)
Or this. (spring boings)
Or this, or this? (cymbal crashes)
Or this, huh? (horn honks)
How about a little of this?
(punch thuds)
(ropes snap)
Absolutely uh-uh.
You know, there's something awfully screwy
about this fight, or my name isn't Laramore.
And it isn't.
(playful music)
You got him punchy, champ.
He's practically a dead duck already.
Now get in there and fight.
Go on in there, knock him out!
Give it to him, champ.
Let him have it, champ!
Huh, gettin' a little thin on top.
How about a little somethin' to stimulate the scalp?
(dramatic music) (glass breaks)
(feet whooshing)
(dramatic music) (crowd cheering)
Now shake hands.
(jaunty music)
Which hand do you take?
Mm, uh, that one.
Nope.
Wrong. Guess again.
All right, all right, I'll take that over there. (laughs)
Ain't he a dope?
Ya sure this is the one you want?
(Elmer laughs)
You're right! (cymbal crashes)
It's the right one.
And here's round one comin' up.
(bell dings)
One, three, nine, ten, you're out!
The winner and new champion, Daffy Duck!
(bright music) (crowd cheering)
I'm not the one to complain, Mr. Referee,
but I thought you said no rough stuff.
None of this, or this, (elbows and fists thudding)
or this, or like so. (horn honks)
Or this, or this, or this! (dramatic music)
(upbeat music)
(stammers) That's all, folks!
It seems like in the early days of animation,
everybody was making their own version
of a Cinderella cartoon.
This cartoon was brought to us
by the Fleischer brothers and stars
one of their most popular characters.
No, not Superman.
This was years before Superman.
This cartoon stars Betty Boop as Cinderella
and is one of her only cartoons which were in color.
Something I love about the Fleischer cartoons
is how they tried making scenes in their movies look 3D,
something which Disney and other animation companies
would later try to copy.
Now here's Betty Boop starring in (sighs) "Poor Cinderella."

Ub Iwerks was an animator who became famous
for his many years working with Walt Disney.
He helped co-create Mickey Mouse
and animate many of Disney's early cartoons.
In 1930, Ub Iwerks left Disney
and started his own animation company.
This next cartoon is one of his best, called "Balloon Land."
It features a world where everything is made of balloons.
It even features balloon versions
of Laurel and Hardy and Charlie Chaplin.
(playful music)
"Balloon Land" has been featured
in many TV and film productions over the years,
including "PeeWee's Playhouse," and it's considered to be
one of the top 50 greatest cartoons ever made.

And now our second Superman cartoon.
In this cartoon there's been a murder at Metropolis Museum.
When Clark Kent goes to investigate,
he finds out the mummies have come back to life.
Gee, a movie about mummies coming back to life.
It seems like this is a story
I've seen a lot in movies lately,
except this cartoon came out in 1943.
Here now is Superman in "The Mummy Strikes."
(dramatic music)
[Narrator] Faster than a streak of lightning.
(lightning cracks)
More powerful than a pounding surf.
(waves crashing)
Mightier than a roaring hurricane.
(wind howling)
This amazing stranger from the planet Krypton,
the Man of Steel,
(gong booms)
Superman!
Possessing remarkable physical strength,
Superman fights a never-ending battle
for truth and justice,
disguised as a mild-mannered newspaper reporter, Clark Kent.
(bright music)
(flames hissing)
(mysterious music)
(dramatic music)
Dr. Jordan. Dr. Jordan!
(dramatic music)
(suspenseful music)
[Lawyer] You deny poisoning Dr. Jordan,
yet you admit these fingerprints are yours.
Yes, but, but you don't-
[Lawyer] That's all.
(suspenseful music)
(dramatic music)
(phone ringing)
Kent speaking.
[Dr. Wilson] Hello, "Daily Planet"?
This is Dr. Wilson of the Egyptian Museum.
I've just uncovered something that may free Miss Hogan.
Yes, Doctor, I've been feeling much better lately,
but I'll be right over.
I'll see ya later, Lois. Doctor's orders.
(door thuds)
Doctor, my eye.
(suspenseful music)
Dr. Jordan was the world's foremost student
of hieroglyphics.
Most of our priceless specimens were brought back by him,
even the mummy of King Tush.
Among his possessions,
I uncovered this ancient Egyptian tablet
and find it to be a secret curse of the tomb of King Tush.
"He who disturbs the eternal sleep
of King Tush shall perish."
This tablet may well be Miss Hogan's passport to freedom.
Come with me, please.
(suspenseful music)
(ominous music)
Over 3,000 years ago, the Valley of the Upper Nile
was ruled by an old and powerful king.
He had been warring with the Lower Nile for many years,
and just before the old king died,
he called his son to him, a young boy of 12.
He commanded his giant guards swear an oath
of eternal allegiance to the boy prince,
to guard him constantly in this world and the next.
Shortly after, the old king died.
A youth of 12 now ruled a kingdom of 10 million people.
But the boy was not fashioned for such responsibility,
and being of a sickly nature, soon became ill himself.
Never was a person attended more faithfully than this youth,
yet he withered away and soon died.
True to their oath of allegiance,
each of the royal guards drank poison
so that they might continue to protect the spirit
of their young king in the Valley of the Dead.
(tense music)
Here in these catacombs,
Dr. Jordan has reconstructed the burial vault
exactly as he first discovered it in one of the pyramids.
Working for years in absolute and frenzied secrecy,
he finally duplicated an ancient mystic formula,
which he called the Fluid of Life.
(dramatic music)
Just before he was found dead,
Dr. Jordan had inoculated each of the mummies
of the giant guards.
They were supposed to return to life,
but somehow the test failed.
(soft ominous music)
Dr. Jordan was found here at the feet of King Tush.
The rest you know.
But what you don't know, Mr. Kent,
and what I am equally certain of,
is that Dr. Jordan violated the ancient warning
by attempting to open the coffin of King Tush!
(suspenseful music)
(dramatic music)
A poisonous needle. (lid creaking)
That's how Dr. Jordan was killed.
Yes, and Miss Hogan is a free woman.

Incidentally, who told you I was at the museum?
My mummy done told me.
(dramatic music)
Our final cartoon today is again brought to us
by the Fleischer brothers
and stars one of their most popular characters,
Popeye the Sailor Man.
This was actually Popeye's first color cartoon
and was nominated for best short subject
in the 1936 Academy Awards.
It was voted number 17
in the 50 greatest cartoons of all time,
and some say it served as inspiration

It's incredible to look back at these classic cartoons
and realize that movies today are very similar
