Cartoons in movie backgrounds and Commercials!
|
|
|
Lately I've been noticing alot of cartoons in the background of movies, like Kill Bill Vol. 2, Ghost Dawg, but I don't know the toon titles, so maybe we could start a thread to name the toons that grace movies? To narrow down the criteria, let's just do non-animated movies to keep it simple. Here's a few to get it started:
Close Encounters - Drip-Along Daffy
Lethal Weapon - Bugs Christmas Special
Ghost Dawg - Woody Woodpecker shorts
The Professional - Natalie Portman is watching The Transformers
Who's got more?

In The Shining, Danny watches the Roadrunner cartoon Stop, Look and Hasten before getting chased by Jack Nicholson(sp?). I think that particular cartoon was chosen because of that "maze of train-tracks" sequence.
Also, clips of another Roadrunner cartoon Whoa Be Gone were seen in an early Spielberg film The Sugarland Express used to forshadow the main character's downfall.

E.T. turns on the T.V., and the very first thing he sees is Tom & Jerry in The Mouse Comes To Dinner.

The Starsky and Hutch movie has a Tom & Jery cartoon in it as well. It's playing on the TV of one of the apartments they raid.
In Strange Brew Bob & Doug's parents are watching Tom & Jerry for some undisclosed reason.  I think the more obvious choice would be a hockey game. But, whatever, it's their movie.
Also, I've never seen it, but I'm told they showed a clip of Duck Dodgers of the 24 1/2 Century on an episode of Babylon 5. That seems appropriate since Duck Dodgers did just as much to further science fiction shows as Star Trek, Star Wars, or anything else of that nature. See my Daffy Duck essay:

Wasn't there Marvin the Martian footage on "Close encounters of the 3rd kind?"

People think I am crazy just because I didn't like "Ratatouille." Am I REALLY crazy, or do I see things differently?

I remember seeing a little of Minnie The Moocher (the part w/ the ghosts in jail) on a TV in Three Men and a Baby. If I'm remembering correctly.

If it is in there, I missed it, because as I stated above Drip-a-long Daffy is in there when the kid turns on the TV in the morning after the night madness.
At which part in the movie do you think you saw it?

Howard the Duck/Robin Hood Daffy
I remember Howard the Duck is wandering the streets, lost and confused when he first arrives on Earth. He stops in front of a TV repair shop/ appliance store and is shocked to see Daffy swing into a tree."YOIKS AND AWAAYY!!!>WHAP<!! He takes this as a cruel example of how humans like to see ducks suffer and it makes him worry.
The Howling/The Big Bad Wolf
A seriel killer who is really a werewolf manages to corner his next intended victim in an office alone.A television is on in the background.( If I remember correctly you can hear the pigs singing the familiar song ,Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?) As the killer begins to change in front of the victims eyes, the camera cuts away to the cartoon playing on the televison in the corner. The big bad wolf is closing in on his helpless prey, looming ever closer, closer while laughing manicially

Mhh....
CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND = DUCK DODGERS IN THE 24TH 1/2 CENTURY (NOT DRIP-ALONG DAFFY)
JFK = DRIP-ALONG DAFFY
TWILIGHT ZONE: THE MOVIE = BIMBO´S INITIATION
WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT? = GOOFY GYMNASTICS
HOME ALONE 1 & 2 = DR SEUSS´HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS
THE MASK = RED HOT RIDING HOOD
CRAZY OVER DAISY (A DONALD DUCK CARTOON)= PECOS BILL 
That all for now

In the final scene of the 1972 screwball live-action comedy What's Up, Doc?, the 1950 Looney Tune What's Up Doc? is displayed on the screen during an airplane flight when an exhausted Ryan O'Neal meets his ardent pursuer, Barbra Streisand.

In early on in Steven Spielberg's War of the Worlds, Ray Ferrier's daughter, Rachel, watches an episode of Spongebob Squarepants.

In Steven Speilberg's mega-flop 1941, Gen. Stillwell (Robert Stack) watched the movie Dumbo while all hell broke loose outside the theater.
In Speilberg's Gremlins, the gremlins went to see Pinnochio.

In Speilberg's Gremlins, the gremlins went to see Pinnochio.
I could've sworn that was Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
In any case, back in 48 Hrs., Ganz(James Remar) and Billy Bear(Sonny Landham) stay in a boarding house and pick up a couple of hookers while hiding out from the SFPD, but instead of fooling around with her, Ganz sits on the bed watching Space Kid.

Upon refelction, I think it was indeed Snow White that the Gremlins went to see. It's been a while since I've seen the movie.

I also remember an episode of Huckleberry Hound being shown on a Wonderworks episode about a little black girl's struggle against segregation in the south, but I can't remember what the title of this episode was.

Got Gremlins, but missed Gremlins 2: The New Batch.
Bugs is shown from the cartoon when he talked to the screen about the Gremlins in the old cartoon, those little spacemen looking gremlins. I would have to be certain that it was a Clampett cartoon.
I guess it won't count to mention the episode of the Jetsons when the kid next to Elroy in class was watching an actual Flintstones episode on his wristwatch tv, that may have been a scene (or a recreation from) the first episode of the Flintstones, the Swimming Pool.

Two interesting ones to note.
It may be the first episode of Roseanne. She is in the kitchen fussing at I think her oldest daughter, when DJ turns the tv up loud in the living room and we hear a bongo drum noise that was stock music sound effects on the Flintstones. They had even said something about watching the Flintstones previously in this episode.
In an episode of "Newhart" when a hillbilly fellow who had previously appeared, has now been left by his wife, so he hangs out in the Stratford Inn's lobby, he is watching television.
"Oo-wee!" he says. "You ever thought about foolin' around, Dick?"
On the tv, we hear an unmistakable robotic beeping noise.
"No," Bob Newhart as Dick Loudin calmly says, "but if I did, it wouldn't be with JUDY JETSON!"

In "Cats and Dogs" The little boy and his puppy arewatching tv before bed and it so happens to be the cartoon "Chow Hound" at the part in which the Dog is beating up the cat in the beginning of the cartoon for forgeting the gravy. And of course Lou the puppy watching the cartoon says "stupid cats!"

Bugs Bunny cartoons are not supposed to feature a lisping Viking rabbit hunter enthusiastically professing his operatic love for a bunny in drag.
