Ramapith: David Gerstein's Prehistoric Pop Culture Blog: 2011: One Last Look Back

http://ramapithblog.blogspot.com/2011/09/2011-one-last-look-back.html

2011: One Last Look Back. Happy New Year, everyone. I thought I'd take a (belated) look back at a fond acquaintance whom we lost a couple of months ago. Beyond this, I'm uncharacteristically at a loss for words; the man's work provides such a perfect testimony. Tom and Jerry Meet Sherlock Holmes [2010], written by Earl Kress. Special thanks to Mike Matei for tech help.). Red hot riding hood. With so many of those well-deserved feelings already expressed, who could blame us for a little repetition! Subscr...

Lost Laugh-O-Grams Found—And Shown. Alice isn't Alice." Those three words recently marked the start of an exciting series of discoveries for me and others. But what could they mean? Like a lot of cartoon researchers, I've long been disappointed that more of Walt Disney's 1920s Kansas City animation didn't seem to survive. Recently, though, colleagues and I have turned up some exciting discoveries—some of which, I'm pleased to announce, are about to reach public eyes after a long, long absence. Noted the ...

An Oswald Trick (Or Treat). Little time to blog today; big Halloween doings. But I couldn't let the holiday pass without a special Ramapith commemoration. When Walt Disney's Oswald the Lucky Rabbit staff moved on in 1928, that wasn't the end of Disney's 26 Oswald cartoons. Some were reissued with sound by Universal in the 1930s. Others survived in a less direct way, as former Oswald staffers remade them—or remade elements of them—with other star characters. Oswald's Harem Scarem. Here's the silent Ozzie.

I Taut I Taw New Posts Coming. You sthaw new posthts coming! Er—thanks, Sylvester. As my close friends are well aware, I've been up to my eyeballs in work lately—but that's not to say it hasn't been a lot of fun.

But first it's time to welcome you back! The original titles for Tweetie Pie. Can't be far away. The bric...

Fantastic Felix Friday: Behind the Scenes. Since Felix the Cat prowled Ramapith's ivy-covered halls. But the feisty feline always comes back. This week I'm honored to help promote him in a new project for which I was a consulting researcher: Craig Yoe's and Don Oriolo's Felix the Cat: The Great Comic Book Tails. We're all calling today "Fantastic Felix Friday" and many of us collaborators are blogging about the book—time to do my bit. Adventures. However—the times, they are a-changing! But if Felix's ani...

Making New Donald Duck Adventures: Tamers of Nonhuman Threats! I've spoken much on this blog about favorite creations of the past—but as a comics editor and writer, I've personally had the honor and privilege of working with some stellar creators in the present. One of my most exciting experiences began in the summer of 1999 at an Egmont Creative task force meeting, where I learned about a project provisionally called "Goosebusters.". 8212;included talents such as Stefan Petrucha.

Out of the Vaults: From Binko to Bluto. Omigosh. a Gerstein blogpost! They've been rarer than hen's teeth for quite awhile, and some of you know why—I've spent the last year stretched between quite a lot of publishing projects. But Ramapith updates couldn't stay extinct forever. After all, new research discoveries are still what I live for. Just for instance—I've been looking for lost scenes. Thanks to the help of Tom Stathes. 1934)—without original titles (sorry! Two musical numbers we don't usually see.

Ramapith: David Gerstein's Prehistoric Pop Culture Blog: Mouse, Interrupted

http://ramapithblog.blogspot.com/2012/06/mouse-interrupted.html

Once upon a time—way back in the 1930s—Columbia Pictures and United Artists released Walt Disney's Mickey Mouse cartoons to theatres. But Columbia and United Artists had nothing to do with the cartoons' non-theatrical distribution. So a few years later, when Disney prepared reissue versions for home and TV use, the original Columbia and United Artists main and end title sequences were replaced. Animation fans know what happened next. In an effort to return to the original style for home video, "faux"...
