(Fil-Cartoons was actually a satellite studio owned and operated by Hanna-Barbera in the Philippines, which explains why a number of the "What a Cartoon" shorts were animated by them.)<br />However, Carbunkle DID get to animate Eddie Fitzgerald's "Tales of Worm Paranoia" in 1996, along with Kennedy Cartoons (famous for the "Tiny Toons" and Disney work), while Fil-Cartoons did ink-and-paint/camera work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2472929492655604605.post-28938318835302696712013-06-04T21:48:10.817-04:002013-06-04T21:48:10.817-04:00Too bad it didn't pan out for him the first ti...Too bad it didn't pan out for him the first time around, but nice that Seibert gave me the go-ahead to make it happen. I see he got to use Mark Kausler on these too.<br /><br />I recall Scott Shaw wanted to do a modern take on Lippy and Hardy for the WAC initiative as well, but couldn't get it off the ground despite how edgy he was ask to make it.Chris Sobieniakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09838106041175506925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2472929492655604605.post-41114760350392844272013-05-26T14:57:58.816-04:002013-05-26T14:57:58.816-04:00On a whim, I asked Pat Ventura about his George &a...On a whim, I asked Pat Ventura about his George & Junior cartoons.<br /><br />Some time before, Ventura was asked to develop Avery's "Screwy Squirrel" character for television, the version that aired on the Droopy Detective show. Ventura took the Avery concept and expanded on it, with more slapstick, gags, and new ways he would torment the dog. The network, however, rejected it, saying it made the squirrel unsympathetic. They turned Screwy into, in Ventura's own words, an unfunny sitcom.<br /><br />Years later, Ventura was working on What a Cartoon, and decided to see if he can give George and Junior a shot. Fred Seibert said OK and the rest is history.<br /><br />Incidentally, Sledgehammer O'Possum was created as Ventura's version of Screwy Squirrel. This is how he planned the 1990s revival to be like.Brubakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10741995395720022279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2472929492655604605.post-23517461793006612742013-05-26T14:56:08.977-04:002013-05-26T14:56:08.977-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Brubakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10741995395720022279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2472929492655604605.post-1338644384115909022013-05-25T12:18:08.332-04:002013-05-25T12:18:08.332-04:00I do recall enjoying this cartoon and understood t...I do recall enjoying this cartoon and understood this was Pat's take on what Tex did before.
