Rocky was one of my favorites. I was always dazzled by his ingenuity if not that squeaky voice.  

#32 Rocky

From Me: I will do Number 31 on Sunday.

Rocky voice is from June Foray.

"Bullwinkle and Rocky Fan Club", a series of abortive attempts by Rocky and Bullwinkle to conduct club business. The fan club consists only of Rocky, Bullwinkle, Boris, Natasha, and Captain Peter Peachfuzz. These shorts portray the characters as somewhat out of character.

From Me: I just loved Rocky in these short features and it's one of the best part of the show that I liked the most.





From Wikipedia
The show was broadcast for the first time on November 19, 1959, on the ABC television network under the title Rocky and His Friends twice a week, on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons, following American Bandstand at 5:30 p.m. ET, where it was the highest-rated daytime network program. The show moved to the NBC network starting September 24, 1961, broadcast in color, and first appeared on Sundays at 7 p.m. ET, just before Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color. Bullwinkle's ratings suffered as a result of airing opposite perennial favorite Lassie.

Ward wanted to produce the show in Los Angeles; however, Anderson lived in the San Francisco Bay Area and did not want to relocate. As a result, Ward hired Bill Scott as head writer and co-producer at Jay Ward Productions, and who wrote the Rocky and Bullwinkle features. Ward was joined by writers Chris Hayward[18] and Allan Burns; the latter eventually became head writer for MTM Enterprises. In a 1982 interview, Scott said, "I got a call from Jay asking if I’d be interested in writing another series, an adventure script with a moose and a squirrel. I said, 'Sure.' I didn’t know if I could write an adventure with a moose and a squirrel, but I never turned down a job."

From Me: A little background information about the show itself.


My Personal Thoughts
My opinion about Rocky the Squirrel is that Rocky was lovable, sweet, a real attention grabber, and one of the most interesting character that ever graced the television screen in late 50's and early 60's. I did not think highly of this show when I first watched it in reruns around 1965 before Adam West's Batman Television Series came on and by this time - I fell in love with Rocky the Squirrel and his great sidekick Bullwinkle that changed my opinion of this classic cartoon series. I just wanted to tell you that I find this one of the greatest cartoons that gets credibility from all critics that watch it. It was a family orientated cartoon and it's one of the rare cartoon that both boys and girls can watch.

I just feel that this cartoon is still relevant today and I think that today generation can learned from it and at the same time can enjoy the humor that this cartoon can bring.

My Mother who passed away in 2012 always watch this cartoon on local station for 30 minutes after the Noon News is over during the time I was in High School in the late 70's and constantly recap the cartoon back to me like I remembered it back in time in 1965 in reruns that my family watched together. I can still remember bits and pieces of what she said to me and it's sad to know that my memory isn't that sharp that used to be. It's amazing cartoon series and I feel bad about ranking Bullwinkle at #33 and Rocky at #32.

Anyway, this cartoon character is a great one and I just wanted to share all this information about Rocky!

#29 Hippety Hopper
Created by: Warners Bros/Looney Tunes


From Wikipedia

Hippety Hopper cartoons have a typical formula: Hopper escapes from a zoo, circus, etc., and is mistaken for a giant mouse by Sylvester the cat. Frequently, Hopper changes places with an actual mouse, generally when it is most embarrassing for Sylvester. Sylvester tries to capture and eat his "prey", but the innocent and infantile Hippety mistakes Sylvester's predations for a game of rough-housing. Sylvester is repeatedly punched, kicked, juggled, spun, and pounced, but each failure only strengthens his desire to have the "mouse" for lunch.





My Personal Thoughts

One of my favorite cartoons is Lighthouse Mouse that was made back in 1955 of where a mouse wants more than anything to have the light of a lighthouse turn off and this is a true hilarious cartoon that I enjoy watching the other day.


Lighthouse Mouse



This cartoon character is paired best with Sylvester the Cat for good riddance and it's one of the funniest series of cartoon history of where Sylvester meets a mouse, a normal mouse and trying to find a way to capture it and soon he did this this baby Kangaroo shows up and to an horrified look of Sylvester - he now fighting a Giant Mouse that's more than capable of giving him total discomfort and a beating that he's never forget.


I just find these cartoons fast paced, crazy and hilarious, and most of all funny to the funny bone!


Hippety Hopper appeared in 14 animated cartoons and it's a real joy watching him doing all the funny things that he does and being a baby kangaroo is so clever that it's played a perfect foil for Sylvester the Cat and among other things. He's great for both boys and girls to watch and it's also a great cartoon for family alike.


My next cartoon is Hippety Hopper is the 1949 classic Hippety Hopper and it's one of my favorites as well. This is so funny and I wanted to share this cartoon too.





Great Picture of Hippety Hopper, Sylvester the Cat, and his Son.
