Worst Golden Age cartoon

Yeah, the Golden Age of Animation is considered the time when the big studios were making theatrical shorts. Technically, it went all the way up to 1972 when Walter Lantz Productions released their last short.

Got a name of that short?

Clutch Cargo and that one Seagull cartoon. /thread

Woody Woodpecker is a case study in just how important the first few minutes of a Looney Tunes short are. Bugs getting clobbered once is what gives the audience free rein to laugh at him torturing an idiot for seven minutes. Woody is just a bully.

Well, it uses that ugly-ass beta Woody design, so what do I care?

Things got better later on. Woody coming across as a bully really is the exception, not the rule.

Ugly Woody is best Woody.

Clutch Cargo is the TV Era, not Golden Age.

It's been ages since I watched that but I recall a cartoon that albeit clearly lacking was in no way the dumpster fire folks were claiming it to be. Aggressively mediocre if anything but not offensively so.

When there's shit like this

in the classic era, you know folks who say Daffy and Speedy is as bad as it gets haven't watched the beginning of it.

Considering this is a columbia cartoon, Im not surprised by just how bold faced or terrible this is. That was the standard of quality for columbia. That's essentially why they were bought out by paramount in the 50's from what I recall

Yes, I too read the top comment.

Isn’t their version of The Tell-Tale Heart considered a classic? Why such the gap in quality?

Everyone loves to discuss the chaotic calamitous nature golden age daffy had, or first appearance bugs for that matter, but Woody was always absolutely fucking deranged. That's the side of woody that never gets explored,and boy does it irritate the living hell out of me. It's especially annoying when you track Woody's history into the modern day, and realize how consecutively sanitized Walter and Universal made him. In short, literal super villain woody > shit bugs clone woody.

Because columbia animation was an after thought for the studio, who's bigger focus was always legitimate theater pictures. Columbia animation was the most slapdash animation outfit Im aware of from the time, think of it as almost the I.W. comics of the animation industry at the time. Even the Terrytoons were more respected in comparison.

"The Tell-Tale Heart" is UPA. "Rocky Road to Ruin" is Screen Gems.

How did Tell-Tale end up as good as it did?

based picapao

Culhane knew how to exploit demented Woody the best.

Damn, answered just two seconds before I posted that

i dont get the moral of this story
thus guy lived awesomely rich even died peacefully
and the newspaper guy acepted the girl after she dropped him for money ?
what kind of lesson is that ?

The lesson is don't be a beta.

Even as a kid, I knew Daffy in Aqua Duck was the cue to change the channel. There were a lot of weird cartoons but that was the worst.

I don't know that was a cute ending.
