[HB] He's a particularly talented fellow. [Chalky] I think we'll just have to wait for the dry spell to end! :)

[Chalky] Yes, indeed. I wrote the script first, then, on discovering YorkMC a few weeks later, redeployed the name. Too good a name to waste on just one outing, I thought. :)

Projoy] Why is Sylvester called 'the Professor'? Is it a non-BBC spin-off copyright branding issue?

Ah - forgive me, I didn't do my homework and read the rest of the site. Excellent interview Projoy, I agree about Barbie.

[Bob] Did you get yer package?

rab] Yes thank you! I've emailed to say thanks - but I'd also like to thank Dr Q. I have just reached into my grab-bag of superlatives and find I have run out. You are both extremely kind, and I hope to repay you some day.

Oh my giddy aunt! Tears of mirth!

Don't you think What's Opera, Doc? should have won an Academy Award? The producer at the time (Eddie Selzer) didn't have it considered. That and Hare-Way To The Stars were considered two of the best cartoons ever (both Chuck Jones-Maurice Noble-Mike Maltese creations.)

I thought Opera did win an award - but perhaps not an Academy award.

[Btd] It was #1 on the 50 Greatest Cartoons of All Time.

Deservedly.
