| 30840 | The Café | Decided to take part in this year's Camp NaNoWriMo. Gives me an opportunity to work on my fanfic that I had started for last November's actual NaNoWriMo. Of course, I'd be writing more if I wasn't so easily distracted. <img src="http://retro-daze.org/images/smilies/MavLaugh.gif"> | VillechaizeLove | Apr 07, 2016 |  |
| 30839 | Weird cartoons | Total Television, TTV, was the creative team that came up with new cartoon characters to help sell breakfast cereal. While TTV came up with the designs and the ideas, the production was left to Gamma Studios - the poorboys of the animation world.<div><br></div><div>Gamma had a hand with early Jay Ward Productions, the guys behind Rocky and Bullwinkle. Gamma's cost cutting techniques were all too obvious and Jay Ward himself was none too happy about it.</div><div><br></div><div>For Total Television, shows like Tennessee Tuxedo, The King and Odie Show, Tutter Turtle and of course, Underdog; Gamma freed up funds that TTV was able to pour into the soundtrack. TTV cartoons had well conceived musical scores and in the case of TTV's last cartoon, "The Beagles" each episode featured original songs.</div><div><br></div><div>Check out the closing credits for Underdog:</div><div><br></div> <iframe width="420" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/9vRtnqMq9qY" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>You are all in the presence of one of the few guys that watched every episode of The Beagles. As TTV's last cartoons series, The Beagles featured original songs on each episode. Since the name is a pun on "The Beatles", it's curious that The Beagles was a singing duo in the style of "The Everly Brothers".</div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size: 10pt;">The Beagles sound track was actually sold in stores before the show was cancelled by CBS. </span><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">Original music for a children's show can be either very good or very bad. Take a listen for yourself:</span></div> <iframe width="420" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/8aZE31g4hUw" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> | eddstarr | Apr 07, 2016 | |

| 30837 | Do you "fit in"? | YES, Ghost man - you've got it!<div><br></div><div>This was one of the last major projects from Bill Cayton and his team. They were trying to "merge media" in a way to expand on the original Czech film. "Journey to the Beginning of Time" is a collage of live action melded to 2D and 3D modeling, with puppets in select shots plus stop-motion animation. And yes, there's cartoon animation, but you have to look close!</div><div><br></div><div>Remember, I haven't seen the entire film in about 50 years but I'm impressed by the artistry that Bill and Fred brought to the table to make this series. If you are able to find the entire film, notice the lively dialog between the four boys. The writing team outdid themselves. From what I remember, the boys are informative without mocking each other and the language used matches the action in each scene appropriately. </div><div><br></div><div>If you are able to locate a restored full-movie version it might make a good R-D Theater Feature! </div> | eddstarr | Apr 07, 2016 | |
