A Review By: Kevin Lovell

Disc Rating: 7/10

Synopsis:

Loopy De Loop is a French-Canadian wolf with a mission- to change the bad image that people have of wolves and make them appreciated as warm and generous fellow creatures. Not an easy job, even for a loup as charming as Mssr. Loopy, and the poor fellow is usually rewarded with a terrified cry of “Help!” and a clout on his head. But hope springs eternal in the heart of this unsavage beast as he tries to undo wolf’s big, bad image by rendering aid and assistance to the likes of Little Red Riding Hood, Snow White, Little Bo Beep, Hansel and Gretel, Cinderella, D’Artagnan, Dr. Jekyll and more to injurious and hilarious results. Following their initial success with THE HUCKLEBERRY HOUND SHOW on television, Hanna-Barbera created the Loopy de Loop cartoons for theatrical release through Columbia Pictures. These animated antics were highly popular on the big screen where they delighted audiences of all ages for six years. Loopy is (of course) voiced by the legendary Daws Butler, with other treasured vocal artists also contributing to their talents to these shorts including Don Messick and June Foray. Now, newly remastered from 4K scans of their original camera negatives, all forty-eight of Loopy’s animated antics are contained in this complete collection, so get ready to cry, “Sacre-iliac!” Continue reading “[Blu-Ray Review] Loopy De Loop: The Complete Collection; Available February 24 From Warner Archive”

A Review By: Kevin Lovell

Disc Rating: 7/10

Synopsis:

Talk about odd couples…The zippy, happy-go-lucky Lippy the Lion (voiced by Daws Butler) is always looking for action. Hardy Har Har (voiced by Mel Blanc) is a hangdog, hapless hyena who never laughs. So, naturally the pair are inseparable. Constantly on the lookout for the next big score, the always-optimistic Lippy leads a skeptical Hardy into a multitude of misadventures despite Hardy’s “worry-wartin.” Lippy’s all sunny side up, while Hardy’s trademark refrain of “oh dear, oh my” provides the comic counterpoint to all their extraordinary exploits, which travel from the Wild West and deserted isles to country clubs and racetracks. No matter the time or place, you can count on these two to maneuver into desperate danger each and every time! This collection contains all 52 of Hanna-Barbera’s laugh-filled exploits featuring Lippy and Hardy, all newly remastered from the best available film elements for this Blu-ray collection.

A Review By: Kevin Lovell

Disc Rating: 7/10

Synopsis:

“There’s no place like home” is an adage that breezy, affable Wally Gator (voiced by Daws Butler) needs to learn again and again. A true people-person alligator, Wally is driven by his excessive curiosity and his bon vivant inclinations to seek out new experiences beyond the city zoo where he hangs his porkpie hat. Donning a variety of hilarious disguises, Wally escapes the care of dedicated zookeeper Twiddle (voiced by Don Messick) only to end up crying “Oh, fuddle-dee-doo!” as he lands himself in a series of ever more ridiculous (and dangerous!) jams! Whether he’s confused with a dragon by a clan of medievalist monster fighters, almost becoming the final ingredient in a witch’s magic potion or becoming a stunt gator in Hollywood action pictures, Wally is always relieved when he finally makes his way back to Twiddle and the zoo..only to saunter off the very next day! This collection contains all 52 of Hanna-Barbera’s beloved Wally Gator animation adventures, all newly remastered from the best available film elements for this Blu-ray collection.

Release Rating: 9/10

Synopsis:

Michael Caine gives a standout performance as vicious London gangster Jack Carter in this landmark crime classic from director Mike Hodges.
