The Best of Warner Bros.: Hanna-Barbera 25 Cartoon Collection (Released May 21, 2013 by Warner Home Video) Another Looong DVD Review by Joe Torcivia SUMMARY: The most inexplicably confusing DVD I’ve ever reviewed! Yes, really! I’m almost at a loss as to what I can say about this collection, so bear with me, should this review ramble a bit. HERE is my original post on the coming of this set. It WILL help explain my confusion a bit, if you would be kind enough to read both my post and the linked announcement found therein. As best I can figure, Warner Bros., on the occasion of its turning 90, is celebrating its “centennial minus ten” with a series of special collections of the film, animation, television, and comic book properties that have made the studio my favorite of all creative entities. Hear! Hear! I second that emotion! Now, one doesn’t just become a monolithic presence in the field of entertainment without a few acquisitions along the way and so, sometime in the 1990s (like DC Comics before it), the Hanna-Barbera cartoon studio became a part of the vast Time Warner Communications empire. That acquisition would explain the existence of a special Hanna-Barbera collection to mark the 90th anniversary of Warner Bros. However, it doesn’t explain why “The Best of Warner Bros.: Hanna-Barbera 25 Cartoon Collection” looks as if it WERE ASSEMBLED BY a nonagenarian! I’m sorry, I should really take that back… Most nonagenarians would probably do a better – or at least a more LOGICAL – job of assembling this package! Honestly… I DON’T UNDERSTAND what this set is trying to accomplish – beyond creating a great big Hanna-Barbera goulash in a stewpot! Goulash is only good when you can EAT IT, Boo Boo! I get the distinct impression that no one tasked with the creation of this set has any historical knowledge of the glory days of Hanna-Barbera. A period I was privileged to witness first hand, and which probably accounts for the high regard in which I hold the first 10-12 years of the studio’s output, even today. Just "pick up whatever you find"! It looks as if they just picked up whatever they found lying around the Warner Vaults, adding just enough oddball, or other first time releases, to prevent it from completely becoming a double-dip affair, slapped a “Best of Warner Bros.” cover on it (…and even THAT COVER underwent revisions to replace a NON-Hanna-Barbera character inadvertently included in the character mélange. Touché Turtle now replaces Very-Late-Period-Looney-Tunes-Character “Rapid Rabbit”, between Yogi Bear and Quick Draw McGraw on the package) – and threw it out there to an unsuspecting public. Look Between Yogi and Quick Draw... A late '60s Looney Tunes character! Sloppy! But, WHAT IS IT? Is it a celebration and historical survey of the glory days of the Hanna-Barbera cartoon studio? If so, why are Huckleberry Hound and Yogi Bear omitted from the set? If not for the success of that iconic pair, I doubt that H-B would have progressed much further! I thought I was more "iconic" than the a-ver-age bear! Here’s the list of contents from the announcement. Compare it with the list of what we ACTUALLY GOT, and you will see that the collection appears to have had a very rough journey to completion… that is, if you can call ANYTHING like this without Huck and Yogi “complete”! For ease of comparison, that which was announced, but does not appear, is highlighted in RED.

Space Ghost Opening Theme Space Ghost: “The Heat Thing” DD Space Ghost Closing Theme . Abbott and Costello: “Gadzooka” NEW (Abbott and Costello opening theme sequence plays again, once the cartoon is over!) Now, I expected some inevitable changes in content between the original announcement and the actual release. I even said so in my earlier post. But, I ask you… How does that former list emerge as the latter one? I’d sure like to know the story behind THAT! How, in the name of Holy-Hanna, do you omit Huckleberry Hound and Yogi Bear? Honestly, I can see dispensing with Ruff and Reddy, if one chooses to discount or minimize its “historical value” (especially as it would only have been Part One of a continuity)… but HUCK and YOGI? Really? And who, in the name of Equally-Holy-Barbera, edited those QUICK DRAW shows to play the opening and closing theme sequences SIX TIMES?! Not to mention surrounding the Snagglepuss cartoon with the Yogi Bear theme sequences – yet leave out Yogi himself? No Yogi... but even J. Evil Scientist appears on the set, in a Snooper and Blabber "Double-Dip"! Indeed, why must a short cartoon even need to be surrounded by the overall theme of its “larger show”, if the show itself is not presented as such? For instance, does the “Atom Ant theme” need to surround the Atom Ant cartoon – and once again encircle the Hillbilly Bears cartoon? Do we really need this TWICE... ...When we don't have the full show? Why not just add Precious Pupp and present an ENTIRE “Atom Ant Show” – complete with the opening and closing themes ONLY ONCE? This may very well be the sloppiest editing I’ve ever seen in a “professionally assembled” DVD! As if that isn’t enough sloppy editing for any DVD set, the familiar “Meet the Flintstones” theme plays over each disc’s Main Menu – but it is an “extended version” that is made so by the abrupt and outright JARRING insertion of repeat passages into the theme! You’ve got to hear this to believe it! I honestly thought the soundtrack was skipping, until I realized what it was! Yes, it was more JARRING than even THIS! Why does this need to be? Isn’t the Flintstones theme long enough to play over a menu as-is without additional passages, ripped from its innards, that sound as if they were GRAFTED ON with all the finesse of Dr. Frankenstein… or would that be Dr. Franken-STONE? We have TWO Quick Draw McGraw shows! That SOULD be great news, because only FOUR such shows have been previously released on authorized DVD (Saturday Morning Cartoons 1960s Volumes One and Two) – but BOTH shows here are repeat-releases of THOSE SAME SHOWS! None of the vast amount of unreleased Quick Draw material, which COULD have appeared for this special occasion, did! The Peter Potamus cartoon is new to DVD, but the Yippee, Yappee, and Yahooie (a component part of the original “Potamus” show) is not! And, only TWO of those shows were previously released. Double-dips are unavoidable, especially if you’re trying to create an overall survey of H-B’s peak period. I expect that. You can’t do something of this nature without The Flintstones, Top Cat, or Magilla Gorilla – and they’ve already been released in their entirety. Okay to Double-Dip. Where double-dips should NOT occur are series where there is still a wealth of unreleased material, such as Huckleberry Hound, Quick Draw McGraw, Peter Potamus, Atom Ant, and Secret Squirrel. (That’s still a LOT of unreleased stuff, isn’t it?) NOT okay to Double-Dip! Especially TWICE on one set! The ONLY Extra Feature, on what should have been a very special collection, is a repeat of the “Here Comes a Star” tele-promotion piece to herald the coming of THE MAGILLA GORILLA SHOW in early 1964. Admittedly, it’s a nice look at the studio at its creative and professional height, with Bill and Joe getting lots of air time, hosting announcer George Fenniman, and promoting Magilla. Maybe I should "promote" SAFETY, instead! We'll do the PROMOTING around here... And do-oon't you for-get it! While it has already appeared on the MAGILLA GORILLA set of 2006, I suppose it’s worth including just for the visit with Bill and Joe! It WOULD have been nice to see something new, created or uncovered for this supposedly special occasion, though. Ah, but, here's a plus... a tre-men-dous plus! ...Take this down, Ding! Okey-dokey, Hokey! That Hokey's the greatest at.. at... whatever it is he does!! On the Plus Side, we have the DVD debut of Hokey Wolf – with not one, but two cartoons featuring the Phil Silvers-inspired character. And, speaking of wolves, we are treated to the first authorized DVD appearance of Loopy De Loop, as well. The Flintstones episode, “Love Letters on the Rocks”, was an unexpected – but excellent – choice to represent the series, plucked from the more adult-oriented First Season, and with “presumed marital infidelity” as its subject matter. The dialogue was particularly enjoyable throughout, and Jean Vander Pyl may have turned in one of her best performances as Wilma. “Love Letters on the Rocks” is the episode that introduced private-eye “Perry Gunnite” – a clever name-melding of then-TV icons “Perry Mason” and “Peter Gunn”, with the character of Gunnite coming across as a superb send-up of Craig Stevens’ “stony” (pardon) portrayal of Peter Gunn. Craig Stevens as "Peter Gunn" Raymond Burr as "Perry Mason"... Let's put their names together... ...And you get PERRY GUNNITE! Even the intrigue-style music, when Gunnite first enters the scene, is a right-on tribute to Henry Mancini’s underscore to PETER GUNN, which was used to open many episodes of that series. (I never realized how great a homage it was until seeing PETER GUNN more recently!) Kudos to composer Hoyt Curtin for that! Ya think Hoyt Curtin had this album? Though his TV career was “not such a much”, Perry Gunnite would remain a mainstay of the Flintstones comic books throughout the sixties – and even find his way into the ‘90s Flintstones run, published by Archie Comics. Does this ever happen to Peter Gunn? Actually, it HAS! The Touché Turtle cartoon was a true highlight of the set. Alas, only two of these have been released to DVD. Though there were never any on-screen credits, this series has Michael Maltese written all over it. It also introduces (if only in NAME) “Ricochet Rabbit” – not the Western character that would appear two years hence, but a super-fast varmint, the type of which Maltese would have plagued Quick Draw McGraw with a year or so prior. This is strictly my opinion but, wisely, the announced ‘70s material bit the dust, along with some of the more questionably chosen very late sixties stuff. Oddly, Scooby-Doo (from today’s perspective, perhaps the most famous H-B toon of them all) is not represented. I commend Warner’s uncharacteristic restraint in not reflexively shoehorning Scooby into this set, as he is available in SOOOO many other video venues. Finally, if there was one thing I was certain would be omitted – but, miraculously, was not – it would be the Abbott and Costello cartoon! …Though it is misattributed on the menu as a 1968 production, when the cartoon itself says 1967. The animated Abbott and Costello series, having debuted in 1967, was one of the very last of its breed… a five-minute cartoon short, designed to be “plugged-into” an afternoon, locally-hosted “kiddie-show”. Not unlike THESE made-for-TV Popeye cartoons. The once-popular after-school “host” format was in its own “last-gasps” by 1967, and I’m hard-pressed to think of any “plug-in” toons that might have come later. Batfink, perhaps? "Move over, Mel Blanc and Daws Butler -- Bud's on First!" A definite highlight to this series was Bud Abbott providing his own voice. This entry, “Gadzooka”, plays as if it may have been written by the great Michael Maltese (in sort of a Snooper and Blabber mode), whose own career at H-B was winding down, as the studio moved away from short gag cartoons, and is appropriate considering all the monsters the pair “met” in their later theatrical films! H-B also did “Laurel and Hardy” in a similar format, one season prior. H-B's Laurel and Hardy OVERALL: As I said in my earlier post: “This looks to be the most significant Hanna-Barbera DVD release in years!” Yet, somehow, Warner Home Video found a way to make this package (…to be kind) “less significant”. What should have been a celebration of the Hanna-Barbera cartoon studio at its best, was less a “celebration” and more of the kind of party planned by a butcher with eight thumbs, that was given on the wrong day, and where not all of the invitations were sent out. It's like no party I had before - that's for sure! I’ll end the review the way I began it, and say I’m still at a loss as to what to say about this collection. Despite all this “written analysis”, I still don’t know what I’ve got here! It’s not even a comprehensive survey of Hanna-Barbera cartoons and, thus, good for those who are less-steeped in H-B lore than I. Not, with some of the staggering omissions exhibited. I’ve never reviewed a DVD where I was honestly unable to recommend it to SOME segment of the population – but this may finally be it. ...Even though there are still many things to like about it. Okay, I’ll recommend this to zany Hanna-Barbera completists, like myself, who will enjoy the debut appearances of Hokey Wolf, Loopy De Loop, and Abbott and Costello – and the handful of other New-to-DVD installments, while pondering the collection that might have been. The rest of you can remain as confused as I am! Yeah, Huck... I agree. Let's turn the page on this, and get the rest of your cartoons released!
