Rocky and Bullwinkle Promos

[@jamesborlan2850]

Rocky and bullwinkle was way ahead of its time for its clever humor and occasional satire of Saturday morning cartoons at the time

[@BrianRetro]

What they lacked in animation they made up for in writing.

[@yosefdemby8792]

@@BrianRetro Also voice acting. But what relatively little animation was done in Hollywood outranks all the work done at Gamma.

[@fromthesidelines]

The first two were seen on ABC during the 1959-'60 season {'Tomorrow afternooon at 5:30/4:30 Central Time, on ABC"}. The rest were seen at the beginning of the 1961-'62 season {probable live announcer tag at end- "Sunday at 7/6 Central Time, in color, on NBC"}.

Thanks a million for posting this----a sweet memory of my childhood. Don't figure out my age, LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL.

[@ricardocantoral7672]

There is misconception that Jay Ward wanted the show to look crappy on purpose and it's just not true. He simply did not have the time or monetary resources to animate this series in the way he wanted. That's why he had to settle for less when it came to the R and B serial.

[@collegeman1988]

Jay Ward didn’t have the luxury of computer technology to do his animating for him like the South Park guys do today. Even so, the Jay Ward cartoons are just as fun to watch today as they were more than half a century ago. The voiceover talents of William Conrad, Bill Scott and June Foray made up for any deficits in animation, which to me aren’t a factor because the writing was that good.

[@yosefdemby8792]

@@collegeman1988 Don't forget Paul Frees.

[@brotftheyhaveusernamesnow]

Ricardo Cantoral is it just me or does the cheap, limited-animation style of art that the show was in actually look oddly nice? I don't know why but it sort of adds to the child-like quality of cartoon that it was.

[@vashietru1848]

They don’t look bad to me.

[@ricardocantoral7672]

I am definitely not referring to this animation of these promos. This was the good stuff animated in Hollywood by Gerard Baldwin. I am speaking of the average work which was animated in Mexico which was total crap.

"Villains never get top billing!" Oh yeah? Ever herd of Dracula, Frankenstein, Godzilla, Despicable Me Gru, The Bad Guys, etc.? Those are all villains that received top billing in their movies.

[@Nick-ty9us]

William Conrad definitely did not those

[@SpongeDan]

And Chucky.

[@jamesbevan9939]

First time I've seen Boris with more fluid animation

[@jasobres]

This must've been one of the earliest animations, because Boris looks so different. He has a grey hat instead of a black one. It also has more fluid animation than the show. Of course, it's my understanding that most of the promos, commercials and title sequences were animated by Jay Ward Productions in house while everything else was done in Mexico by Gamma Productions.

[@yosefdemby8792]

Not everything else was done by Gamma. Ward was able to get a handful of Fractured Fairy Tales animated in his Hollywood studio, or another Hollywood animation studio called TV Spots. The Mexican censors rejected the episode of Peabody's Improbable History where the titular canine and his pet boy Sherman face Pancho Villa, so Ward's studio animated that. Finally, Ward's studio animated four Aesop and Son cartoons and seven Dudley Do-Right cartoons.

Hokey smokes!

Or as they'd more properly spell it in Virginia.... Hokie. :-)

[@Ovskyizrod]

The animation seems very familiar, but I don't know who the animator is behind these promos

[@Ovskyizrod]

It mostly reminded me of some Warner Bros or Termite Terrace Animator I might know.

[@Ovskyizrod]

I just realized Gerard Baldwin animated these, well I suppose the first one

[@BrianRetro]

He was, for the first two seasons, but they soon found out that Bullwinkle was more popular.
