Classic Cartoon Discussion & Youtube Finds (1928-1999)

[TurtleWA]

I know "classic" can be defined differently so I just decided on pre 1999 for this thread. I don't see a thread like this so I thought I would give it a go.

Found this video today. Wanted to share.

Woody Woodpecker - Pantry Panic (1941)

I don't understand why they can't make cartoons like this anymore, this era had so many, Tom and Jerry, Looney Tunes, hanna barbera, and all the great Mickey, Donald, Goofy and Pluto shorts.

There's still cartoons like these. Just don't happen as often. There's the Mickey shorts and Tom and Jerry are still going. Not just the dtv movies. Looney Tunes still gets a new version every now and then. Currently it's Wabbit.

I mentioned this in another topic but I don't think anyone noticed. I'm surprised it hasn't been brought up.

CN is basically stripping Boomerang and turning it into a streaming service for all WB/HB shows. $5 month.

This makes very angry because it's just expecting people to pay for a second Boomerang when the channel has been around for decades through your TV provider.

Boomerang on TV still exists but they've already taken off Be Cool Scooby Doo and Wabbit. I'm guessing Tom and Jerry and Looney Tunes will be transferred too but so far they're still appearing.

actually not all cable providers provide Boomerang or they just charge you extra if you want it. I am actually glad they are starting a streaming service.

Really? It has been around for so long. It's not a premium channel like HBO. Who doesn't carry Boomerang? It's gotta be a select few providers. I'm talking in the US.

Even so I hate this. I could see it if it was some big time service like Netflix or Hulu but a streaming service for only WB/HB content? Just seems so petty. I couldn't believe it when I first read about it.

I mean come on. At least keep the new episodes on TV. (I've read this does not affect Australia)

When my folks had cable, Boomerang was a premium channel.

There is a few, but none have the quality or charm of cartoons made between 40-70s
