Terrytoons

[Pacman000]

There's a Loony Toons topic in the Good Movie forum, so I decided to make a theatrical animation topic in the Bad Movies forum.  Paul Terry's cartoons aren't well reguarded by animation historians, so they seemed like a good starting point.  Feel free to talk about Mighty Mouse, Farmer Alfalfa, etc.  Shoot, you can even bring up Aesop's Fables if you want.

Yes, I did.  Sorry about that.

Do you know which is Heckle and which is Jeckle?

Does anyone know which is Heckle and which is Jeckle?

The British one is Jeckle, the other is Heckle.

Article about Terrytoons' demise. Basically, they became a division of Viacom in the 70's, and Viacom thought producing new cartoons was too expensive; re-releasing the old shorts and licensing the characters out was more profitable.
