A. Flea - "An Itch In Time" and "A Horsefly Fleas"

Here's the two cartoons starring Bob Clampett's A. Flea, "An Itch In Time" and "A Horsefly Fleas". Clampett directed the far superior "An Itch In Time", while Bob McKimson directed "A Horsefly Fleas".

Bob Clampett - "Horton Hatches TheEgg"

I love Bob Clampett's take on Dr. Suess' "Horton Hatches The Egg". He stays faithful to the original story and only adds to it whether through song (The Hut-Sut Song) or just funny gags.

Another Clampett Goody

Here's a cool clip from an idea Clampett had to merge live-action and animation.

Clampett Goodies

Here's a couple of extras from the Beany and Cecil DVD. I'm surprised how much it goes for now, I've seen it for upwards of 100 bucks. Glad I picked it up when I saw it for $10 when it came out. Here's some stop motion animation from 1938 and Bob's test footage for his proposed John Carter Of Mars theatricals.

Clampett Model Sheets

Here's some model sheets from various Bob Clampett cartoons.

This one's from A Tale Of Two Kitties, one of my favorite Clampett cartoons.

I wish I had a higher resolution picture of this one.

Bob Clampett's Tokyo Woes

Here's a cartoon made around 1945 by Bob Clampett for the U.S. Navy. It's star Mr.Hook who was created by Hank Ketcham while at Lantz studios. This cartoon is included on the Cartoon For Victory DVD. Pick it up if you can, there's some Private SNAFU on there including Clampett's Booby Traps. John K. provides commentary on 4 cartoons. I've never heard anyone talk so enthusiastically about cartoons as him, especially when it's a Clampett cartoon. It's a lot of fun to listen to, he's sounds like he's gonna jump out of his seat. Here's some screen grabs of a scene animated by Manny Gould, according to John on the commentary. I love the broad gestures, there's always a limb or two flailing about. These drawings are hilarious.
