Production #455 was the last of Fred Avery's supervisions to go through the animation process at Leon Schlesinger's studio. By this time, Avery, now allowed to use his nickname Tex, was probably at work on <i>Red Hot Riding Hood</i> or another of his earliest Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer efforts.</div><div><br></div><div>I don't think anyone ever asked him about these after-the-fact last Schlesinger films. It would be revealing to know what he thought of them--if indeed he gave them the time of day. Avery didn't seem the type to reflect on what he'd done in the past. It's not the worst final cartoon (and compromised "film maudit" to boot) anyone ever made, and it might be too much to expect a last blaze of inspiration and fervor in a film finished by other hands.</div><div><br></div><div>Sans director credit, this final spot-gag travelog provided groans and chuckles before going to the ether of cartoons that didn't get reissued. Revived for TV fodder, the cartoon aired uncut for years before someone bothered to watch it and caught the morbid/racist gag deep within it. That bit was then snipped out, making a compromised film less itself.<span></span></div></div> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='jump-link'> <a href='http://texaveryatwb.blogspot.com/2020/12/end-of-line-folks-crazy-cruise.html#more' title='End Of The Line, Folks: <i>Crazy Cruise</i>'>Read more »</a> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-author vcard'> Posted by <span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/04673579882180372546' itemprop='url'/> <a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/04673579882180372546' rel='author' title='author profile'> <span itemprop='name'>Frank M.

Freleng would soon release a similar cartoon, <i>Double Chaser</i>, as he worked his way toward <i>Tweetie Pie</i>, his Oscar-winning 1947 classic. If the credits of this original title card are at all reliable, Michael Maltese provided the story for this short. Its tit-for-tat humor, variations on a central (and threatening) action and what dialogue it has syncs up to Maltese's work with Freleng. It's less talky than Maltese's writing for Chuck Jones, but its structure and its character dynamics are accomplished. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Maltese filtered through the detached chess-match of Avery's comedic eye, it again shows how close these late Schlesinger cartoons approach the look and feel of Avery's M-G-M classics. His drawing style is still buried deep within Robert McKimson's character designs. With their tendency towards better animation, the added bells and whistles slow Avery's timing down--with one gag taking a hell of a long time to get across.

Like many Warner Brothers cartoons, this one lost its original credits when reissued 11 years after its first run, at which time Avery was winding down his time at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. <i>Bug Parade</i> was the last thing on his mind then, unless he happened to go see a movie in mid-July 1952 and saw it as part of the program.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <i>Bug Parade</i> was probably titled <i><b>The</b> Bug Parade</i> in its 1941 release, in a reference to the 1925 silent war film <i>The Big Parade</i>, King Vidor's epic drama of the First World War. The punny title hung on a cartoon with no connection to that cast-of-bazillions film. It would have gotten a laugh from older theatergoers who might have seen the original run, or the film's 1931 reissue with a musical score. </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> We open with a complex display of insect transit, as our narrator, who sounds like Robert C.

Never re-issued, for reasons obvious the moment the credits end, the cartoon was pillaged for gags in later WB cartoons. Like <i>Bugs Bunny Nips the Nips</i> (1944), it's a Bugs episode few have seen. The cartoon speaks well of no one involved, from the beloved series star to its writer and director. </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Making peace with the racism rife in classic animation is a cross its historians have to bear. Baked into America's collective consciousness in the 20th century, racial and cultural prejudice is the bleak flipside of the nation's all-inclusive ideal. Wars were fought, lives were lost and ill will flowed through the country's veins as non-Anglo-Saxon people were thought of as less than human or "not as good as us."</div> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='jump-link'> <a href='http://texaveryatwb.blogspot.com/2020/03/all-this-and-rabbit-stew-bugs-bunnys.html#more' title='<i> All this and Rabbit Stew</i>: Bugs Bunny's Most Shocking Moment'>Read more »</a> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-author vcard'> Posted by <span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/04673579882180372546' itemprop='url'/> <a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/04673579882180372546' rel='author' title='author profile'> <span itemprop='name'>Frank M.

I intend to complete this project in 2020. I've dawdled too much, and have often set this blog aside when paying projects demanded my attention. I'm so close to the finish line (and semi-retired) now that I resolve to get through this final spate of Avery-at-WB cartoons as often and as well as I can.<br> <br> There are still some surprises remaining in Avery's Schlesinger cartoons. Few are seen in <i>Aviation Vacation</i>, a film notable for the birth of one of its maker's most inspired moments. This gag, refined to perfection in the 1952 release <i>Magical Maestro</i>, is the main joy of this by-the-book spot-gagger.<br> <br> This was the last spot-gag cartoon completed by Avery before he left the Leon Schlesinger studio. Surviving prints look as bad as many of Avery's M-G-M cartoons. It's never been restored for reasons soon apparent. When shown on television, about a minute of footage went missing. Again, all will be revealed...<br> </div> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='jump-link'> <a href='http://texaveryatwb.blogspot.com/2020/02/aviation-vacation-no-cause-for-elation.html#more' title='<i>Aviation Vacation</i>: No Cause for Elation'>Read more »</a> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-author vcard'> Posted by <span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/04673579882180372546' itemprop='url'/> <a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/04673579882180372546' rel='author' title='author profile'> <span itemprop='name'>Frank M.
