Template:Infobox Shorts wTabs Of Fox and Hounds is a 1940 Merrie Melodies short directed by Tex Avery.
Plot
A dimwitted hound, Willoughby (voiced by Tex Avery), repeatedly asks sly fox, George (voiced by Mel Blanc), where the fox went, never suspecting that his "friend" George is the fox. Invariably, George the Fox tells Willoughby that the fox in on the other side of a rail fence, which is actually at the edge of a steep cliff. Willoughby's line, "Which way did he go, George? Which way did he go?" long ago became a catchphrase, as did "Thanks a lot, George, thanks a lot!"
Availability
- (1992) LaserDisc - The Golden Age of Looney Tunes Volume 2, Side 9: Best Supporting Players
- (1999) VHS - Looney Tunes: The Collectors Edition Volume 10: Canine Corps (1995 Turner dubbed version)
Notes
- George the Fox has a voice and personality very similar to Bugs Bunny, who starred in his first cartoon in recognizable form that same year ("A Wild Hare", also directed by Tex Avery.)
- The animated film is significant in that it is Tex Avery's first usage of characters based around George and Lenny of John Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men.
- Willoughby first appeared with white & brown fur in this film. Starting from The Crackpot Quail, his fur is 100% brown and he is voiced by Kent Rogers instead of Tex Avery.
- A scene where a fox (George) saves a hound (Willoughby) from the bear is similar to the Disney film The Fox and the Hound, except the cartoon was released 41 years before The Fox and the Hound.
- The cartoon was reissued again in the 1953-54 season, previously reissued in the 1943-44 season.
- Though the original print with the original BR ending was removed from Dailymotion, an a.a.p. print exists of the cartoon as well.
- Both American and European dubbed versions keep the original 1938-1941 ending music on the altered cards.
