Bugs Bunny Through the Year

Now we're going to the Warner Bros. Studio and taking a look at Bugs Bunny!

The first Bugs was totally white and not white and grey. This Bugs was tricky and clever but talked very different. For example, instead of saying, "Ehhh. What's up doc?" he said "Jiggers fellers!" and then spun his ears around like a airplane. The first cartoon with Bugs Porky's Hare Hunt. This was also Bug's first appearance.

Look's like chipmunk teeth!

The next Bugs was closer to the present-day Bugs but still talked the same as the previous one. One big difference was that Bugs wasn't even named Bugs! He was named Happy Rabbit! This Bugs only appeared in two cartoons, Hare-um Scare-um and Elmer's Candid Camera, the first appearance of Elmer Fudd.

This Bugs is the closest to the present-day Bugs Bunny. First of all, he has his Brooklyn accent and he says, "Ehhh. What's up doc?" The only difference is his nose is longer and his body is smaller. The first cartoon with this Bugs was A Wild Hare.

Modern-day Bugs

The present-day Bugs is almost the same as the previous except his body is bigger and has a bigger smile and not a long nose.

Donald Duck Through the Years

I'm going going to do a post about Donald Duck.

The first Donald Duck had a long beak and smaller feet. This Donald first appeared in The Wise Little Hen along with Peter Pig, a character who mostly appeared in comic strips but made 2 film   appearances, The Band Concert, and The Wise Little Hen. Donald also doesn't have his temper and when Peter bounces him off with his bottom (because they want "cornbread") Donald just came back in and didn't have his temper tantrum.

Donald's beak is bigger and has a bigger pupils. This Donald appeared in his own series and has temper tantrums and gets mad. Donald also has a white and blue sailor cap and not just a blue one. 

This Donald has a blue cap, not a blue and white. Donald still has his black bow tie like he did previous times.

This present day Donald was pretty much the same as the previous one accept he had a red bow tie not a black one

The Strangest Cartoon Studio In The World: The Van Beuren Studio

WARNING: The cartoons from this studio are EXTREMELY weird!!! The have weird plots, strange characters, and don't make any sense. These cartoons MIGHT NOT suite you because they are soooooo weird!

I did that warning to amuse you BUT I tell you those cartoons are still are veeeeeeeeeeeeery weird.

What is the Van Beuren Studio?: The Van Beuren studio is a studio that started by the Fable Studio

but then Amedee J. van Beuren took over the studio and created characters (see the "Characters" section). It is regarded as the weirdest cartoon studio in the history of animation.

Characters: One of the most famous pair are the Mutt-and-Jeff-like pair, Tom and Jerry! Renamed Dick and Larry, unlike the cat and mouse duo, these characters were friends and were humans. Another character was Cubby Bear, renamed Brownie Bear later.

Created: It was created in 1928 by Amedee J. van Beuren. It produced cartoons from 1928 to 1936.

Cubby Bear

Series: Aesops Fables, Cubby Bear series, Amos 'n Andy, The Little King, Rainbow Parade, Tom and Jerry series, Toby the Pup, and Burt Gillet's Toddle Tales.

Fun Fact: Did you know that there were 3 duos before cat and mouse? The Van Beuren Tom and Jerry, two humans, A cat and a dog called Waffles the Cat and Don Dog, very similar to the Van Beuren Tom and Jerry, AND a boy called Tom and and a mule called Jerry! These were marionette puppets that were produced in 1924. Thats 16 years before the cat and mouse!!

Where can I watch Van Beuren cartoons?: Well you could buy DVDs like Uncensored Animation from the Van Beuren Studio, The Complete Animated Adventures of Van Beuren's Tom and Jerry, The Golden Age of Cartoons: The Complete Animated Adventures of Van Beuren's Aesop's Fables, and The Complete Adventures of Cubby Bear.

It you want strange cartoons, I suggest Cultoons Vol. 1, Bizarre Cartoons, and, The Strangest Cartoons Ever Made Vol. 1.

Enjoy, Tai Jackson :)

Goofy Through the Years

Well, hi again! Today I'm going to do a post about Goofy. When I here Goofy's laugh it makes me want to laugh like him!

Goofy first appeared in Mickey's Revue. There are lots of differences between this Goofy and the Goofy today. First, he wasn't even called Goofy! He was originally called Dippy Dawg. In this short he was a old dog. He also has a green vest, not brown. The only things the same about Dippy and Goofy
is his hat and his laugh.

This Goofy is younger than before and looks very much the same
but there are still differences. He is stilled called Dippy Dawg!
He still has his green hat, but doesn't have his big, brown shoes.
Instead, he has yellow, circle shoes. I guess Goofy's feet got
bigger!




Goofy is now called Goofy. He has his big shoes. He has has his brown vest. Sometimes in the cartoons with this Goofy, he is called The Goof.








Goofy now lost his ears and becomes a family man, with a son Goofy Jr. He is not so clumsy anymore and is smarter. This Goofy is called G. G. Geef.

Goofy has his ears back and has a son called
Max Goof. This present-day Goofy is very
similar to the one in the old color Mickey
cartoons. He appears in The House of
Mouse, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, and has
two movies with he and his son starring in it,
A Goofy Movie and A Extremely Goofy Movie.


There was a very similar character to Goofy called Goopy Geer. This character was created by Hugh Harman and Rudolph Ising who worked on Bosko cartoons for Warner Bros. They previously worked at the Disney studio. Goopy was never popular and only appeared in 4 shorts, Goopy Geer, Moonlight For Two, The Queen Was In the Parlor, and Bosko in Dutch. Maybe Disney was copying them because they copied Disney by making Foxy, very similar to Mickey Mouse.

Mickey Mouse through the Years

Hi! Today I'm going to do a post about Mickey Mouse. I hope that you enjoy it!

This early Mickey had eyeballs in his eyes and not just dot eyes from Steamboat Willie. Mickey also doesn't has his trademark yellow shoes, in this cartoon he doesn't have shoes. In this cartoon Mickey has a clever and tricky personality. Finally, Mickey doesn't have his gloves, he doesn't have them until The Opry House. Mickey does have his red shorts.

The next Mickey has dot eyes and has his trademark yellow shoes

and red shorts. Mickey still doesn't have his gloves, like I said

before, he didn't have gloves until The Opry House. In this cartoon

Mickey is very clever, but he is also a little violent. For a example,

he make music by whirling a cat around and around and then lets

go sending the cat out of the scene.

Mickey now has his gloves, but he puts them on in the

middle of the cartoon. The first time Mickey has gloves

in the whole cartoon is When The Cat's Away.

Mickey spoke his first words said by Walt Disney.

They words Mickey said was "Hot dog, Hot dog!"

Mickey only laughed, whistled, and grunted before.

Mickey is in color now and his face is peach.

His ears are still black, that will never change.

The first cartoon that Mickey is in color is

The Band Concert.

Mickey now has eyeballs but not as big as before.

The first cartoon Mickey has these pupils is

The Pointer.

Mickey doesn't have his red shorts until 

Runaway Brain.

Mickey has his red shorts again especially 

in the children's show Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.






Well that's all. Next I'll be doing one about Goofy.
