I can't even tell you how I happened upon your site...but what a delightful
trip down memory lane!

I have two questions for you. My sister and I have been trying for YEARS
to remember the names of two cartoons we watched as children in the 60's.
It's been driving us crazy! Thanks in advance for your help...and thanks
for a terrific site!!!

#1
I believe there was" Mr. Wizard" and a "turtle". The "turtle" travelled
through time and would get in trouble and yell, "Help, Mr. Wizard". The
screen would show him spinning and returning to Mr. Wizard.

#2
This 'toon had a bulldog and little yellow chick. The dog protected the
chick. I think his name was Quacky. Whenever the chick was being
stalked...the dog would say to him "Turn around...you shouldn't oughta see
this"

Thanks...
Penny Perez

Hi Penny,

I'm glad you enjoyed it. I enjoy putting the pages together. Don't go crazy!!!! I have answers for both queries.

Tooter Turtle and Mr. Wizard were originally seen in 1960 on Total TV's King Leonardo and His Short Subjects (known as The King and Odie Show in syndication). See the Toon Tracker King and Odie Page.

Yakky Doodle and Chopper were originally seen in 1961 on Hanna-Barbera's The Yogi Bear Show. There's a page on the internet, in Portuguese, devoted to Yakky Doodle. You can check it out at Kywal Graphics.

Hear Chopper telling Yakky not to watch him clobber Fibber Fox, in RealAudio, by clicking Here.
I hope it brings back memories.

I need to find a picture of mutt & Jeff for someone please e-mail me one if you have one please thank you

Here's the picture.

I believe it's from "The Cowpunchers", a 1920 silent Mutt and Jeff cartoon produced by The Mutt and Jeff Company, an animation studio set up by Mutt and Jeff creator Bud Fisher and French-Canadian artist Raoul Barre along with artist Charles Bowers. The films were released by Fox Film Corporation. This film was later colorized, given a sound track and renamed "Westward Whoa" for re-release by Modern Film Sales Corporation.

I'm looking for a picture of the Dick Tracy villain called Mumbles. I've checked out some of the Tracy sites, however, no luck on a decent image.
Thanks
Mike Newton

Hi Mike,

Here's a picture of Mumbles from The Dick Tracy Show. I hope it helps.

I am interested in getting any kind of Mr. Magoo video, actually, I want
to get as many as I can. I am a Mr. Magoo fan and it is a shame that
they don't pass Mr. Magoo shows on T.V. anymore! They don't even sell
Mr. Magoo videos on video stores. If you have any information on where
or how I can get ANY Mr. Magoo video, PLEASE contact me.

thank you,
Cristina.

Hi Christina,

There are currently two sources of Mr. Magoo videos. The older, theatrically released Magoo shorts are available on several collections from Columbia TriStar Home Video. There are twelve volumes in a series entitled Columbia Pictures Cartoon Classics. Not all the volumes have Magoo on them, but most do. Vols.2, 5, 7, 8,, 10, and 12 do for sure. The Television episodes of Magoo are available from Paramount Home Video. These include the The Mr. Magoo Show (10 volumes), What's New Mr. Magoo (8 volumes), and the various Famous Adventures of Mr. Magoo (12 volumes that I am aware of) episodes. Interglogal Home Video, a Canadian company, had released several volumes from the Mr. Magoo Show back in the late 1980's. These still occasionally turn up in the discounted video bins at retailers like Best Buy, Wal-Mart and K-Mart.

All of these should be available through local retailers like Blockbuster or Suncoast Pictures, or through Facets Whole Toon Catalog (1-800-331-6197). If they're not in stock, they can be ordered through the retailer.

Ron, you've got one of the most original pages on the Internet.
I can't tell you how many times you've stirred forgotten memories or
settled an argument! Where do you get this stuff??? You must get email
from all over the World but I'm hoping you can answer (or at least address)
a question.

I'm particularly interested in 8th Man and would like to buy VCR tapes
of the original episodes. Have you any idea where they might be obtained?

Best Regards,
James E. Coleman

Hi James,

I am so pleased that I am able to help so many people, and yes I do get e-mail from all over the world. Just yesterday I recieved one in Hebrew!!

As for my sources, I've been collecting videos and LDs since the early 80's, and animation related books, magazines and items most of my life. My video collection is well into the thousands, with the bulk of them being pre-recorded cartoons and classic TV shows.

I recieved your request after I finished Request Archive 14, but before it was posted. There was an identical question regarding Tobor the 8th Man. Here's the answer I posted:

There are currently four videos of Tobor the 8th Man available. Each tape is 120 minutes long and contains 5 episodes apiece.

Two sources for the video are:
Anime and Manga Mall
and Facets Whole Toon Catalog (1-800-331-6197).

Really really cool. How did you get most of the audio
for this stuff... especially with some of the old commercials.

Also, has anyone been able to find the theme to Marine Boy,
which was an amine around the time of Prince Planet and the
Amazing Three.

Eddie Smith

Hi Eddie,

Thanks for the positive words. I've been collecting animation and classic TV videos since the early 80's and most of the stuff I post is from my collection. Other stuff I find by scouring the web.

I found the theme to Marine Boy and encoded it in RealAudio.
You can hear it by clicking Here.

I hope you enjoy it.

I was sent to your website by mrmagoo@pcisys.net.

I was wondering if a man named Arthur Brundage was one of the
original artists of Mr. Magoo. If not, did he have anything to do with
the creation of Mr. Magoo.

Thanks for your assistance.
Leslie Elpers

Hi Leslie, I've checked the screen credits for various Magoo productions, from the first cartoon in 1949 through the TV specials in the 1960's, and have been unable to find any reference to Mr. Brundage.

This is not to say that he didn't work on the series, though. Many times artists went without screen credits, and many other times the screen credits were wrong.

If you could send me any further information regarding Mr. Brundage, or if anyone else has any knowledge of Mr. Brundage, I will try to check this further.

Your page is absolutely fabulous!
I've been able to answer so many lingering questions
regarding old cartoons. Well, here's another:

There was a cartoon whose main characters were
a cat and mouse, I THINK.

Well, one was a Canadian Mounty and he was always hunting down the other.
Inevitably, the Mounty character would catch the other and say:

I am going to spell this phoenetically, as I have no clue how to spell it:
"SABWA FARE IS EVERYWHERE!!"
What was the name of this cartoon?

I remember it airing with other cartoons, maybe Underdog?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Rick Duro

Hi Rick,

Savoire Faire, the French Canadian mouse who was everywhere, and
Klondike Kat are featured on Toon Tracker's Tennessee Tuxedo Page.

I am looking for the name of woody's niece.
If you could direct me to a web site or if you know
it would be appreciated. Also this is a cool web site.

Thanks
Adam F. Griswold

Hi Adam,

The name of Woody's neice was Splinter. The neice and nephew, Knothead and Splinter, were created for the Dell comic books in the 1950's.
