  • Goldmark, Daniel. 2005. Tunes for 'Toons: Music and the Hollywood Cartoon
    Goldmark, Daniel. 2005. Tunes for 'Toons: Music and the Hollywood Cartoon. Berkeley and Los Angeles: University of California Press. Reviewed by Kate McQuiston Daniel Goldmark's monograph, the first on music in cartoons, will inter­ est both a popular and scholarly readership. Tunes for 'Toons offers lively description, analysis, and history, and it makes a tremendous contribution to the scholarly literature by illuminating the working processes and creative tendencies of composers, as well as by unpacking the codes and systems behind cartoons that use familiar classical music and others that use jazz. Goldmark's attention to the industry of animation, his effective use of documentary materials, and his evident enthusiasm for the subject all enhance his work. Useful to anyone interested in the hows and whys of cartoon scoring (especially fans of Merrie Melodies and Tom and Jerry), the book provides rich analyses of individual cartoons, and these interpretations serve as models for understanding other undiscussed cartoons. Goldmark's case studies reveal diversity from one studio to another far surpassing that of classic Hollywood films, which suggests that "the Hollywood Cartoon" may be too narrow a label for the whole group. Goldmark focuses on the cartoons produced during the classic Hollywood era by Hollywood studios, but he also includes cartoons produced by New York studios with parent companies in Los Angeles. He organizes the book into five chapters, each focusing on a composer, musical style, or studio. Each chapter has a well-calibrated, unique scope, which Goldmark consistently supports through evidence from sources such as interviews, detail sheets (blueprints for the action, dialogue, sound effects, and music in a cartoon), and other documents.

    Generic Cartoon Toon World Introduction Cartoons, in most places they are just viewed as comedic shows and are just watched as entertainment. However, here in this reality “Toons” are people, a minority group with strange powers who generally work as actors and entertainers producing the various shows that people love. Through cartoon shows such as Bonkers, Animaniacs, Tiny Toons and the Looney Tunes show, you get a glimpse of “the real” world behind the scenes where Toons are people and have there own problems. Unfortunately, the reality is that Toon’s were badly treated for most of their history and for most of the early nineteen hundreds Toons were considered to be nuisances or treated as property to be locked away in their own segregated area. (This is an attempt at covering a wide-variety of cartoons, shows and movies that displayed or had episodes that showed a similar Toons-are-actors-in-a-world-with-humans “behind the scenes”) Animaniacs, Harvey Birdman: Attorney at law, Bonkers, Disney’s house of mouse, Drawn together, Freakazoid, Looney Tunes, Looney Tunes back in action, The Looney Tunes Show, Pinky and the Brain, Space Jam, Space Ghost: Coast to Coast, Son of Zod, Tiny Toons, Who framed Roger rabbit.

The three performances that I examine are: George M. Cohan’s production of Little Johnny ii Jones (1904), Eleanor Powell’s “Tribute to Bill Robinson” in Honolulu (1939), and Terry- Toons’ cartoon, “The Dancing Shoes” (1949). These performances share an obvious move away from the use of blackface makeup within a minstrel context, and a move towards the masked enjoyment in “black culture” as it contributes to the development of a uniquely American form of entertainment. In bringing these three disparate performances into dialogue I illuminate the many ways in which American entertainment has been built upon an Africanist aesthetic at the same time it has generally disparaged the black body.

  • July 26, 2013 Bugs Bunny and the NSO Come to Wolf Trap
    July 26, 2013 Bugs Bunny and the NSO come to Wolf Trap By Roger Catlin For a generation of Americans, the earliest love of classical music came not through shared family symphony experiences or early childhood music appreciation classes, but through mayhem-laced TV cartoons, often involving a bunny in drag. Walt Disney may have taken the high road to classical music interpretation through some early Silly Symphony cartoons and “Fantasia” (which in its first run was a flop). But it was Warner Bros. and particularly the animators behind Bugs Bunny who may have been the most successful in drumming key classical passages into the heads of impressionable audiences when the studio’s theatrical cartoons of the 1940s and ’50s were incessantly replayed on TV in the ’60s. Warner Bros. - Still image from the 1950's Merrie Melodies short, “What's Opera, Doc?” Even today, the most serious gray-haired music lover, sitting in the world’s most august concert halls, may be listening to the timeless refrains of Rossini or Wagner only to have the phrase “Kill the Wabbit!” come to mind. Conductor George Daugherty has embraced this meld of classical knowledge and pop-culture conditioning and celebrates it in his “Bugs Bunny at the Symphony.” Its first tour, in 1990, was such a success that it spawned, as most successes in Hollywood do, a sequel. “Bugs Bunny at the Symphony II” comes to Wolf Trap on Thursday and Friday, with Daugherty conducting the National Symphony Orchestra. In its honor, we pause to hail the greatest uses of classical music by Warner Bros.

In 1992, I was dawdling my way through a Ph.D. program in English at the University of Illinois. I had trouble focusing on my work that year, because back in my hometown of Buffalo, New York, my mother was dying of cancer. She was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 1985, while I was still living at home but poised to start graduate school at Illinois in the fall. When my parents told me about the cancer, I said that I wouldn’t go to graduate school, that I would stay and care for my mom, but they said “No.” They were insistent that I begin my adult life and career, and they also realized that my offer to remain in Buffalo was based as much on my fear of an unknown direction for my life as it was in some sort of noble self-sacrifice.
