Smile darn ya - comparison.mov

Comparison of original 1931 b&w cartoon and the 1995 Korean re-drawn colorized version.
Files were downloaded from KZbin public videos and synchronized in editing software. Note sync slip in some scenes! The re-drawn version is never animated at 24 fps (as many scenes in the original are), but only with 12 drawings/second.
No copyright infringement is intended, this is assumed to be fair use for scholarly study and for critical commentary and discussion of the work in question. (Original 1931 copyright has apparently expired.)

I very much agree that colorized versions aren't as bad as lots of people make it out to be. The problem with this particular video though is not the fact that it's colored, but the poorly redone animation. The B/W Looney Tunes got the same treatment in the late 60s, in order to color films back then, each frame had to be redrawn and have color added to it as they went along, but at least digital colorization put a stop to this.

That's about right. Instead of story / character details, the (hapless) Korean artists were given reels of film (made 40 years ago), a few projectors and some pencils. "Draw over this in color, and we want it done in about a week" were their only guidelines. (Well, I dunno. Warner's used to give their people about 2 weeks to finish an old cartoon, so I'm assuming 1 week was seen as reasonable). It's unlikely any cross-communication happened btwn continents after that.

[@RandomCrapIUpload]

[@caa1000]

@@RandomCrapIUpload This was done in the late 60 and early 70s. There was a South Korean animation studio that Warner Brothers under the Seven Arts management hired to re-drawn 78 original black and white Looney Tunes, mostly the Porky Pig and Daffy Duck shorts done by Leon Schlesinger, but likely the original shorts were not available for TV broadcast at that time,so instead decided to replicate original ones, yet many of them came out poorly produced and with audio flaws, since it was using the original audio track but the new animated version could not match the audio track and most of the shorts were cut off from the original ones. After the Turner buy out of the original Looney Tunes from MGM United Artist, the original shorts were colorized like the Casablanca movie around mid to late 90s. Yet to this day the classic black and white shorts that were restored are still seeing on either MAX or US broadcast TV outlet "MeTV'...

It's pretty weird to me to observe that in early 30s, cartoons seemed to look and sound the same, as it were done by the same people. This old WB cartoon looks and sounds almost like a 1929 Mickey Mouse cartoon (animated by Ub Iwerks). It took at least 7 years to change that. (Animation is credited to Isadore "Friz" Freleng and Max Maxwell) Edit: Someone pointed out in the comments something I forgot. Harman and Ising both worked on Disney in the late 20s. Another comment points the fact that Disney actually sued WB for this resemblance. Ironic enough, Carl Stalling worked on that old Disney cartoons, and he would be the main composer on WB years later, becoming a legend. He scored for WB for the first time around 1937-38. About the 12 fps thing. 40s and 50s WB cartoons, as the 60s-70s DePatie-Freleng cartoons were animated in 12 fps, resulting in more dynamic and faster takes, it looked fluid. This redrawn version demonstrates you must animate with the frame rate in mind, if you low the frame rate so something already done, it will lose quality. Unless you change slightly the position of keyframes. It's almost like lowering the resolution and fps to any video (only this was manual work)

[@Rlotpir1972]

If Turner HAD the chance to redrawn the entire Porky Pig cartoons in its original format, he'd done a better job AND retain the original opening/closing graphics instead of the Koreans in 1967 and had Warner Bros. change the opening/closing formats into the 1968 W7 graphics. I think Sunset Productions should've left those B+W Looney Tunes alone and wait until 1957 and have it picked up by A.A.P. like in the B+W Popeye cartoons.
