  DVD Review - Beany And Cecil   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Created by Bob Clampett, "Beany and Cecil" are cartoon characters that have made their impression on audiences for over 50 years.
"Beany and Cecil" have a class and sophistication that makes them appealing to various age groups from children - who probably enjoy the cutesy characters, obvious rhymes and colors the most - all the way to adults who will thoroughly enjoy the puns and innuendo found in the material.
Although the highlight of the disc is on the "Beany and Cecil" cartoons, another appropriate title for this DVD would have been "The Works Of Bob Clampett." For hours and hours you can go through material on this disc, always being reminded of the early days of television or your own childhood.

 Beany and Cecil - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Beany and Cecil was a cartoon that ran from 1962 to 1967.
Beany and Cecil, the animated version, ran in prime time during the 1962 TV season, and the 26 shows (including 78 cartoons) were then repeated on Saturday mornings for the next five years.
Cecil's trusting good nature invariably winds up with him being taken advantage of by the villains, and he often ends up absorbing a great amount of physical abuse (getting smashed flat, losing his head, having his skin burned off, being shattered to pieces), all within the laws of cartoon physics.

 Now It's Time for the Beany and Cecil Cartoons
Beany sailed the world in search of adventures and fortune in the good ship "Leakin' Lena," accompanied by "Uncle Captain," aka Horatio K. Huffenpuff, and the lovable and most stout-hearted hero of all heroes, Cecil the Seasick Sea Serpent.
These are the stars of Beany, the puppet show, but with them are numerous subsidiary characters, designed by Bob Clampett, dictated by dramatic necessity and manipulated by many of Hollywood's best-known acting talents.
It was unquestionably Bob's talent, and his legendary reputation with Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies, plus the popular acclaim of his puppet show, Time for Beany, and "Beany and Cecil Meet Billy the Squid," his cel-animation pilot, that led to the sale of Beany and Cecil, the animated half-hour series to the ABC network.

In 1962, ABC gave Beany and Cecil their own prime time show where it was aired as Matty's Funnies With Beany and Cecil (Matty was the spokeskid for the show's sponsor Mattel toys, joined by his sibling Sisterbelle).
Lovable, gullible, armless, harmless Cecil is that rare character of one we laugh at as a buffoon as well as cheer on as the show's hero.
The original Beany and Cecil cartoon was truly one of the great creator-driven shows, something that became a rarity on TV as the years went on.

The characters of Beany and Cecil were first seen as puppets on the 50's show Time for Beany, which featured Capt. Horatio Huffenpuff and his nephew Beany Boy as they travelled the high seas aboard the Leakin’ Lena.
Beany (who was named for the propeller hat he always wore) was accompanied by his friend Cecil, the seasick sea serpent, who externalised his aversion to the sea by sneezing (which was much more appealing than the usual reaction).
In 1962, Matty’s Funnies with Beany and Cecil premiered, introducing viewers to the animated versions of their favourite characters.
