  • CARTOON EVOLUTION #3 - PORKY PIG
    I take a look at the history and evolution of Porky Pig, commonly considered The Looney Tunes first break-through star - voiced by Mel Blanc in both the Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies shorts. Porky Pig is the second-most featured Warner Bros. character appearing in over 160 classic shorts.
    I discuss at how Porky spawned from the failure of Bosko and Buddy and how he evolved alongside Warner Bros. other characters, including Beans the Cat, Daffy Duck, Bugs Bunny, Charlie Dog, Speedy Gonzales and more, and how he co-existed alongside Disney characters such as Mickey Mouse.
    I discuss how each animator had their own different evolution of him - Tex Avery, Chuck Jones, Robert Clampett Frank Tashlin, Jack King, Cal Howard, Cal Dalton, Robert McKimson, Ben Hardaway and Ub Iwerks.
    This is my look at Porky Pig through the years (plus bonus FIND THE CHUNGUS!)

    I worked on Wabbit and i was the guy that pitched the idea to put porky and Bugs together. The first short that we made that i co-wrote with show runner Matt Craig was Pork in the Road. The short opened up the door for use to make more Porky and Bugs shorts that year. I believe made 5 Bugs and Porky shorts. By the end of the first season of Wabbit it was decided to try to make a classic Porky and Daffy style cartoon the result was Porky's Ducklivery Service. Boarded by Mike Ruocco and myself. That short ended up being one of our best to date leading us to create the New Looney Tunes series of shorts that featured Porky and Daffy team ups . Since these shorts never really aired in the order that we created them, that history is a little hard to know. Thought you might be interested.

    To me Porkys always come off as the underdog, the honest one, and most understandable of the Looney Tunes. Rarely selfish( except his earlier appearances) he came off as a standard Looney Toon for his comedic antics and reactions to said situations.

      I think Porky is at his best in the shorts that Chuck Jones paired him with Daffy Duck. He's the grounded one, casually pointing out Daffy"s ridiculous actions and behavior..
      The best examples are Robin Hood Daffy, and Duck Dogers In The 24th 1/2 Century.

    • @facehairteeth
      @facehairteeth Před 4 lety +13

      I think it's refreshing to let the characters vary depending on artist or situation. The alternative to that is Disney who is so rigid in their design, they always require Mickey Mouse's ears to have the classic silhouette (on modern stuff) even when he turns his head in weird angles, which makes the ears not always align with reality.

    Another piece of information. That image you are using of Porky from Wabbit in your time line was actually a mistake by consumer products. When i created the pitch for our first porky pig wabbit short i submitted a few drawings of porky based on "I haven't got a hat" while storyboarding i used my design. Meanwhile our character designer was exploring design options. When WB Consumer products was creating the style guide for Wabbit, they accidentally grabbed the concept art that was created for Porky rather than the final design that you see featured in the Wabbit/ New Looney Tunes series.

    Looking forward to the next video soon. Obviously we've got the Looney Tunes hype going, but I hope we can see the evolution of Tom and Jerry soon to shake things up-just so we don't get locked into a never ending Looney Tunes trip given how many Looney Tunes characters there actually are.

    Hey! I remember Buddy! He made a pretty big cameo in an episode of Animaniacs! In episode 75 they were celebrating their 75th "anniversary" (their backstory is that they were drawn in the 30's by an insane artist and locked away in the WB water tower along with their cartoons for being insane) and apparently Yakko, Wakko, and Dot enjoyed tormenting him and threw them into his cartoons to make them "less boring." He becomes the episodes "antagonist" and goes out in a typical Animaniacs fashion.

    Porky in the New Looney Tunes is my favorite current iteration. It's a great classic throwback design, and the jokes and gags they put him in are incredibly funny, honestly. A lot of the time he ends up giving Bugs a hard time, both intentionally and unintentionally. Also in one episode he's straight-up a TSA agent, which in itself is an amusing setup for gags.

      @@Sara3346 No. I said "real characters" as opposed to "real" or "real people". To say "original" would imply they were creations of Tiny Toons or Animaniacs made specifically for their shows. The use of the word "characters" is key here as it shows that I am referring to a part in a play, tv show, or film. That is why I used "real" to indicate they were pre-existing, not "original" which is what I thought they were when Tiny Toons and Animaniacs used them.

    For me, the best Porky cartoons are the ones with Daffy in the 1950s (The Ducksters, in my opinion, is one of the more underrated ones). As far as Porky solos, the ones directed by Tex Avery are pretty good, though my favorite is probably Dough for the Do-Do (the color remake of Porky in Wackyland).

    Dave, these are always very well researched and written and very satisfying to watch. I wanted to point out one project you might not be aware of, or haven't decided to include, 1972's "Daffy Duck and Porky Pig Meet the Groovie Goolies" which was an episode of the anthology Saturday morning series "The ABC Saturday Superstar Movie." This is perhaps forgotten/buried due to the strange character mashup and different rights holders. Most notably it's another animation studio handling the WB characters (however it sounds as though many of the animators there had handled the characters before). The Groovie Goolies were popular on SatAM, originally featured with Sabrina the Teenage Witch (and in some cartoons with the original Archie characters) until given their own show. With Sabrina these characters were usually given actual stories; in their own show they were given more "blackout humor" sketches similar to the prime time TV show "Laugh-In." So this odd hour-long (with commercials) film moved these characters from the "Archie" universe (although ownership of them does not seem to be packaged with those characters) and even to another network. The original broadcast also mis-handled the Mel Blanc voices for Daffy, Porky and Tweety (which would usually be given an electronic assist) -- though someone has posted a version of the show here on CZcams with the voices corrected. It's surprising that any recording of it still exists given the pre-VCR airing and likely limited repeat airings or home video issues.
    The show has some jarring moments, especially a laugh track and background music never associated with the WB characters. It takes a little getting used to, seeing them in this "world" but mostly, it works. Strange pairings/groupings of WB characters themselves (i.e., Yosemite Sam, Wile E. Coyote and Porky Pig form a "posse") and Petunia Pig is a character here, used as a love interest for Daffy Duck's "movie" character King Arthur? (Her voice is also very off, somehow.) Amazing live action sequence with stop motion animation as the Goolie characters hop into "Mad Mirror Land" for a few minutes. The whole thing is bizarre and perhaps a product of someone's fever dream -- and it may take a second viewing after recovering from "What did I just watch?" to actually appreciate it for what it is; something of a brave experiment that may have failed but that someone HAD to try. Interesting there is no appearance of Bugs or Road Runner here (likely due to CBS perhaps still airing a regular show "starring" them). It's one of those "gotta see to believe" things and could even be worth its own episode's discussion!

    I liked the one design that stayed consistent from late 1930's to 2000's and the one from Looney Tunes show. The New Looney Tunes was like the original character but not as good as he kept the coat and did not go with the original Red, Blue or Green suspenders or shorts you saw in most of the much later colorized versions of the early Black & White cartoons with Porky. Now other then that Porky is fine, I do not like the earliest forms of Porky as he was in several fairly different styles but once he got a specific shape of the early round Porky I could live with it.

  • @robertschlesinger1342

    Excellent video. Very interesting and worthwhile overview of Porky Pig animation. Leon Schlesinger had serious budget constraints during the 1930s due to the Great Depression. My father would tell me that it wasn't easy keeping the studio afloat during the Depression. [Leon was my grandfather's first cousin.] After funding the completion of The Jazz Singer, Leon later produced six early John Wayne Westerns during the early 1930s, but didn't like that as much as the animation with its humor and the wacky and fun goings-on at his animation studio. "You Ought to be in Pictures" is a must see for anyone with even a marginal interest in animation or live action. Michael Maltese played a studio cop in that film. Descendants of those early studio years have kept in touch and I've met many at various events such as some at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (Academy Awards). Sadly, most all of the old timers have now passed away.

However Porky gets recognition for saving the supposed team by bringing people in and becomes happy for it. All the characters join the club and have a good time for it. It symbolizes his history in a way.
