"The Mad Doctor" Mickey Mouse Cartoon 1933...One Of The Scariest Cartoons Ever !!

The plot is fixated on the title character, an insane mad doctor who has hijacked Mickey's canine, Pluto. Mickey attempts to safeguard him before the insane doctor can play out his examination: putting Pluto's head to the body of a chicken to check whether a dog/chicken will bring forth a puppy from an egg. Mickey fights his way through booby traps and energized skeletons before at last getting found out. Then he is lashed onto a table to get cut open by a buzz-saw. Mickey sucked in his tummy so he wouldn't be cut in half. The scene then, at that point, blurs to Mickey sleeping in bed and unexpectedly awakened by a mosquito or fly😏 whose humming looks like the buzzing of the saw. Not yet understanding the occasions were just a bad dream, Mickey yells for Pluto, who enthusiastically bounces onto Mickey's bed unharmed.

The cartoon was banned in the United Kingdom and Nazi Germany and some theaters in the United States...because it was thought to be too scary for children.

Billy Bletcher played the mad doctor (Voice)....and Pinto Colvig played Pluto the dog (voice).

Brief History Of " Droopy Dog "...Do You Remember This Lovable Dog" Who Could whip Some Butt" !! 1943-1960's

Droopy Dog is an animated cartoon character from the golden age of American Animation. He was created in 1943 by Tex Avery for theatrical cartoon shorts.
Produced by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and voiced by Bill Thompson. Due to his extremely slow nature and deadpan voice, Droopy was a hit with audiences and went on to become one of MGM's most popular cartoon characters, alongside other staples like Tom and Jerry and Barney Bear. He made regular appearances in cartoons from the 1940s until the early 1960s, and since then he has made sporadic random guest appearances in both animated shows and feature films such as Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Space Jam. As his name implies, Droopy is always portrayed as a droopy-eyed mutt, although his original design was much rougher and less refined than what we know today. He is often presented as a foil to other characters in the cartoons, most notably in his rivalry with Wolfie, who was actually modeled after him but with a more aggressive disposition. Tex Avery, the creator of Droopy Dog, was renowned for his wit and visual humour. He worked at a number of studios throughout his career, including Warner Brothers and MGM, and was largely responsible for developing the "looney" style of animation that's still popular today. He also had a hand in creating other popular characters such as Daffy Duck, Screwy Squirrel, and George P. Dog. Avery was inducted into the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2005 and passed away in 1980.

William ( refrigerator) Perry " The Frig"....Did You Know They Made A GI Joe Cartoon Commercial Of Him ? 1985

Cartoon Fans.....I had to through this bit of vintage history in, cause the Frig was my favorite football players of all-times.

The history of the Gi Joe William Perry commercial dates back to 1985 when the toy company Hasbro created a toy line called G.I. Joe A Real American Hero. As part of its marketing campaign, the company created a series of television commercials featuring then-NFL star William "The Refrigerator" Perry. The ads were incredibly successful, gaining a massive amount of attention and making Perry into a household name. The commercial featured Perry in full G.I. Joe uniform, with a voiceover intoning, “He’s tough, he’s athletic, he can run, catch, and tackle – William ‘The Refrigerator’ Perry!” In the ad, Perry is then seen running through a field with a giant G.I. Joe figure strapped to his back. The ad ends with the tagline “G.I. Joe – America’s Movable Fighting Man.” The commercial was an immediate hit, and it made Perry an overnight celebrity. He was even invited to appear on various TV shows, such as “Good Morning America” and “Nightline”, as a result of his newfound fame. The commercial also cemented G.I. Joe’s place in pop culture history, becoming one of the most recognizable commercials of its time. It proved so popular that Hasbro later released a set of G.I. Joe figures featuring Perry in full G.I. Joe gear.

Even today, more than thirty years later, the Gi Joe William Perry commercial remains an iconic piece of pop culture.

Snickering Dog Named Muttley 1960's...Cracked Me Up !!

Muttley Mutt is a cartoon dog character created by Hanna-Barbera and best known as the sidekick of the villain Dick Dastardly in the 1960s television series Wacky Races and its spin-off series, Dastardly and Muttley in Their Flying Machines. Muttley first appeared on Wacky Races, where he served as the snickering partner of Dick Dastardly's villainy. Although initially called "Snarl," the name was changed to "Muttley" before the debut episode aired. The character was voiced by Don

Messick with a slight Southern drawl, and his signature sound effects (such as "wuh-wuh-wuh") were provided by Mel Blanc. Muttley was typically revealed to be the smarter of the two, often foiling Dastardly's schemes. His loyalty to Dastardly only extended to the point where it benefited him; otherwise, he had little respect for his master's orders and often played pranks on him. After Wacky Races ended its run in 1968, Hanna-Barbera produced the spin-off series Dastardly and Muttley in Their Flying Machines. This show focused more on the duo's bumbling attempts at air combat, as they worked for an organization called Vulture Squadron. In this series, Muttley was given a larger role and more individual storylines. The character was featured in several pink and white cartoons during the 1970s and beyond, usually without Dastardly. Muttley appeared in The Perils of Penelope Pitstop, Yogi's Treasure Hunt, Laff-A-Lympics, and Crazy Chase, among other Hanna-Barbera shows. The character has also made several guest appearances on other animated programs, such as Animaniacs and Duck Dodgers. More recently, the character has appeared in the 2020 Scooby-Doo! and Guess Who? series and the 2019 reboot of Wacky Races.
