	B-SIDE JOURNAL
		Production values and locations were consistent with Columbia's 1953 B-Westerns and serials (but it was really cool to see it in color & 3-D) and the 3-D "gags" (shooting at the audience, throwing a rope toward the camera, etc.) were corny - but the film was a lot of fun.
		In 1932, with his Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies series firmly established at Warner Bros., producer Leon Schlesinger made a deal with his distributor to remake a series of Ken Maynard silent movies (originally produced by First National Pictures which Warner Bros. acquired in 1928).

		In 1933 he joined Leon Schlesinger Productions, the studio that supplied Warner Bros. with all its cartoons.

		Schlesinger encouraged the use of limited animation for the Warner shorts, regardless of considerations of quality, because the technique cost less.

		Opting for sanity, Blanc, accompanied by his wife, moved to Los Angeles, where he toiled as a character actor on radio shows while repeatedly seeking an audition with Leon Schlesinger Productions, the cartoon company that produced the original Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies for Warner Bros.
		Oral Test Passed At Schlesinger, Blanc was rebuffed several times by the same production supervisor.
		Blanc's first major memorable role was that of Porky Pig, which he was offered in 1937 after studio officials decided that the porcine personality, who was originally introduced in 1935, needed a face-lift.

	Chuck Jones
		Although born elsewhere, he was brought up on the Sunset strip, where he was able to absorb fundamental lessons in comic timing from the nearby Chaplin studios, and it was there too, within the protecting yet notoriously porous confines of 'termite terrace', that most of his beloved characters would come to life.
		By not giving a hoot, Schlesinger evidently created one of the most inspiring environments in which commercial cartoonists have ever had the privilege to work.
		For the Fleischers it would soon mean the obsolescence of their all-moving, all-pulsating rubber-pipe style of cartoon characterisation (having long ago invented the rotoscope, they would eventually develop a kind of integrated cinematic-animatic 'hyper-realism' of their own).

	Fantasia_(film) - Thagodz Wiki
		The original version of Fantasia was never released again after 1941, and although some of the original audio elements no longer exist, a 2000 DVD release version attempted to restore as much of the original version of the film as possible.
		By the time of this film's production, the prestige of the original had became so prominent that celebrities such as Angela Lansbury, Steve Martin, and James Earl Jones agreed to host the various sections of the film.
		In 1943, Leon Schlesinger Productions (later Warner Bros. Cartoons) director Robert Clampett did a Fantasia spoof short film, A Corny Concerto, with Bugs Bunny, Porky Pig, and Daffy Duck acting out the musical segments (and Elmer Fudd doing an impression of Deems Taylor).

		It was thus that Jones inauspiciously began his animation career in 1931; he knocked around the studios of Ub Iwerks, Walter Lantz, and Charles Mintz before arriving at Leon Schlesinger Productions in 1933.
		As Avery later remembered it, Schlesinger had offered him Jones as one of a group of rebels who didn't see eye-to-eye with the other units, a group that also included Jones' fellow animators Bob Clampett, Virgil Ross, Sid Sutherland, and Robert Cannon.
		To be sure, they were fine-looking cartoons—probably the best productions to see release during this dying age of theatrical animation—but they couldn't measure up to the Hanna-Barbera "Tom and Jerry"'s.
