Topic: Edward Selzer


  
  Eddie Selzer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Edward "Eddie" Selzer (January 12, 1893 - February 22, 1970) was producer of the Warner Bros. animation studio from 1944 to 1956.
Selzer backed off the issue and apologized to Freleng the next day, a wise decision on two fronts: Warner Bros. did not lose Freleng's talents to a competing studio, and Sylvester and Tweety proved to be among the most endearing duos in Warner Bros. cartoons.
Selzer changed his mind and allowed further Tasmanian Devil cartoons only upon discovering from Jack Warner that Taz was in fact a massive hit with audiences.

Leon Schlesinger in 1944, Selzer was assigned studio head at Termite Terrace is the nickname for the old building in Sunset Boulevard, Hollywood, Los Angeles, California, USA where Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies were first created.
Much of what is known about Selzer's personality and business acumen is from Charles Martin Chuck Jones (September 21, 1912–February 22, American animator, artist, screenwriter, producer, and director of animated films, most memorably of Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies shorts for the Warner Brothers cartoon studio.
Friz Freleng nearly resigned after butting heads with Selzer, who didn't think that pairing Sylvester is a fictional cat who appears in several Looney Tunes cartoons, often chasing Tweety Bird, Speedy Gonzalez, or Hippety Hopper.

 Bush foe loses 'fencing' match
Neville Police Superintendent Edward Selzer said keeping protesters behind a fence was his idea.
Selzer said Bush was the first president to visit Neville Island since Franklin Roosevelt in the 1930s, and the event generated intense regional interest.
Protesters wanted to use Bush's appearance as an excuse to take over a neighborhood, Selzer said, so he decided to limit their ability to move about.

 Edward Selzer   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
When Warner Bros. bought Leon Schlesinger's interest in Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies in 1944, Selzer was assigned as studio head.
Chuck Jones was immediately inspired by this idea and created BULLY FOR BUGS (1953), which is considered one of the best of the Bugs Bunny shorts.
Despite the staff's loathing for him, Chuck Jones valued Selzer in retrospect as an essential nemesis that inspired them to do their best -- if only to oppose him.

 Gumfight raging at the Not-OK Corral
Neville Police Superintendent Edward Selzer, 65, who has run the township police department since 1975, said it was his decision to set up the demonstration area.
When I asked why no pro-Bush demonstrators were ordered behind the fence, Selzer said those carrying more favorable signs were "people basically sitting in their front yards at their houses." He "knew 80 percent personally."
They could have stayed right where they were, Selzer said.

After a series of failed efforts to rid himself of the devilish nuisance, Bugs placed an ad in the "Tasmanian Post Dispatch" for a "lonely lady Devil, object: matrimony." She arrived in the nick of time to haul away her startled bridegroom.
The Tasmanian Devil's frenzied antics almost ended with that first cartoon when Executive Producer Edward Selzer told McKimson that he did not like the destructive character and instructed McKimson to retire the Devil.
However, studio chief Jack Warner ordered Selzer to revive the Tasmanian Devil, after noticing the rambunctious character's conspicuous absence.

 Volume 18 -- Sam Sheepdog to Sylvester Junior   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
When WB purchased the Schlesinger cartoon studio in 1944, they installed Selzer, who had formerly been the head of West Coast publicity for WB, as producer of the studio.
Many of the artists thought he was chosen because he lacked a sense of humor, and he was largely a figurehead at the studio, and barely competent in that role, even.
Selzer had directed the Ripleys Believe It or Not short subject series in the early 1930s, and had also been the publicist for Vitaphone between 1931 and 1933, before becoming head of studo publicity in the thirties.

Selzer had directed the Ripley’s Believe It or Not short subject series in the early 1930s, and had also been the publicist for Vitaphone between 1931 and 1933, before becoming head of studio publicity in the thirties.
Chuck Jones in particular mocks Selzer in his autobiography, citing his reaction to Pépe le Pew (“Nobody would laugh at that sh*t”) and then gleefully accepting the Oscar won for the Pépe short For Scent-imental Reasons (1949) as his own.
Curiously enough, it was Jones who put references to Selzer in his cartoons.

This film has great headliners and suspense that builds up to a riveting, marathon poker game and climax that leaves the Cincinnati Kid and old pro Lancey Howard drained at the finish as well as the many onlookers in that hotel room who witness the grand showdown.
Steve McQueen and Edward G. Robinson are great adversaries who spar, feint, thrust and circle, feeling each other out in a realistic drama worthy of a great heavyweight championship match.

 The Warner Brothers Cartoon Companion: N, O
Ironically, Edward Selzer, the feckless producer from 1945 through most of the 1950s, got to keep the first four Oscars the studio won.
This in spite of the fact, for example, that he did not think Pépe le Pew was funny enough to merit a cartoon in the first place -- the first cartoon starring Pépe received an Oscar, and Selzer publicly took full credit for that cartoon.
The studio won five Oscars for producing short subject cartoons and a sixth for best documentary short out of twenty-six nominations, a fairly respectable showing.
