Available Updates (Vault Diznee)

“Drawn and Quartered” is still on hiatus until 2027, but I do want to chime in with some additions and corrections involving the cartoon shorts that are available for release, as the Looney Tunes Collector’s Vault, volume 3 was released this month, and there are a lot of WB shorts I’ve covered that were censored, but are now shown uncut on this Blu-ray. Normally, I’d go back and add an “EDIT” on the actual entry, but this is a better way of doing that, though I did go back to the "Sinkin' in the Bathtub" entry and the "12 Missing Hares" entry to announce that, yes, these are available on Blu-ray, uncut, uncensored, and remastered/restored for HD, since, hey, they're might be people reading those posts (and I'm sure there are: as of this writing, "Sinkin' in the Bathtub"'s entry is at 116 views while "Joined at the Hypocrisy: A June Bugs Special in April" is at 269).

The cartoons I cover will be in order of appearance on the Looney Tunes Collector’s Vault, volume 3 (and, while I’m here, I might as well include volumes one and two). The ones I haven’t covered yet, but have been shown edited on television will be highlighted. A full list of shorts (both the ones that were shown edited and/or banned from American TV and the ones that were safe to air) can be found here, here, and here. I’m only listing the cartoons that are on all three Looney Tunes Collector’s Vault Blu-rays as of 2026 and were either banned or censored when aired on American television (and international TV, but mostly American TV).


Looney Tunes Collector’s Vault, Volume 1

Disc 1

Looney Tunes Collector’s Vault, Volume 2

Disc 1

“A-Lad-In His Lamp” (not on the 12 Missing Hares/Banned Bugs Bunny 12 list, but did air with a scene cut on Cartoon Network and was eventually phased out due to Middle Eastern/Arabic stereotypes. This short also didn’t air on the former WB network for the same reason it was eventually phased out)

“The Daffy Duckaroo”

“Dr. Jerkyl’s Hyde”

“Fastest With the Mostest”

“Fowl Weather”

“I Taw a Putty Tat”

“A Sheep in the Deep”

“Sock a Doodle Do”

“A Street Cat Named Sylvester”

“To Itch His Own”

“A Waggily Tale”

Disc 2

“Awful Orphan”

“A Bird in a Guilty Cage”

“Bowery Bugs”

“Claws for Alarm”

“Frigid Hare” (proud member of the 12 Missing Hares/Banned Bugs Bunny 12)

“Hare Remover” (its inclusion here is debatable, as, while there is a scene that looks as if it’s missing a part, said missing scene hasn’t resurfaced nor was it added to the cartoon when it was included on the Blu-ray set. Nonetheless, it will be covered on the “Lost and Missing Scenes” entry).

“The Heckling Hare” (same as above, though cuts were made on some TV versions to either cover up the point where the cartoon prematurely ends or to cut out the falling sequence entirely for time reasons)

“Hop and Go”

“Jumpin’ Jupiter” (part three of Andrea Hicks’ and Sarthurva U.'s coverage of the Porky/Sylvester horror vacation shorts is coming. I promise)

“The Last Hungry Cat”

“Mouse Menace”

“Ready.. Set.. Zoom!”

“Stop! Look! And Hasten!”

“Whoa, Be-Gone!”

“Wise Quackers” (if you can believe it, this short actually did air on American TV with minor cuts before disappearing because of the slavery references)

“You Were Never Duckier”


Looney Tunes Collector’s Vault, Volume 3

Disc 1

“Billboard Frolics”

“A Feather in His Hare” (nothing was cut from this, but it is part of the 12 Missing Hares/Banned Bugs Bunny 12, which I did cover on this blog. That post is considered one of my best works, next to the FAQ about The Censored Eleven and, for some reason, my entry on “I’ve Got to Sing a Torch Song”)

“Horse Hare” (just like the previous entry, this is a “12 Missing Hares” short. Unlike “A Feather in His Hare,” this one was shown edited on television before being phased out)

“Lady, Play Your Mandolin!”

“Sinkin’ in the Bathtub”

“Tree Corner Tweety”

“Tweet and Sour”

Disc 2

“Ballot Box Bunny”

“Boobs in the Woods”

“Case of the Missing Hare”

“Fox Terror”

“Foxy By Proxy”

“Fresh Airedale”

“Goldimouse and the Three Cats”

“Herr Meets Hare” (no parts cut, but it was included on the 12 Missing Hares/Banned Bugs Bunny 12 list)

“Holiday for Shoestrings”

“Mississippi Hare” (another 12 Missing Hares/Banned Bugs Bunny 12 member, and, like “Horse Hare,” it was shown on American TV with parts cut and is part of the blogpost I did about those shorts)

“Mutiny on the Bunny”

“Pizzicato Pussycat”

“A Star is Bored” (yeah...when I get to this one, it’s going to be an exercise on how good of an amateur video editor I really am)

“The Windblown Hare”

-------------

As always, Stay Looney and Be Merrie!

Under Construction

With the viewing success of “Joined at the Hypocrisy: A June Bugs Special in April” (currently at 21, though it’s a long way from reaching the inexplicable success of my post for “I’ve Got to Sing a Torch Song,” which, last I checked, was at 96) and promises of re-creating the blog (which includes better software -- video and word processing, mostly -- in creating it and finding new ways to get the blog noticed), “Drawn and Quartered” is going on hiatus…again. This one won’t be as long (I’m taking May off and some of June, but I’d rather take May off so I can be fresh for June. Think of this show as a summer TV show that airs when all the fall and spring shows go on break), but it will be a long wait before a new installment comes out.


Future Installments

The episodes scheduled to appear (in order of how they were released in 1937) will be:


Regular Episodes

Porky’s Road Race (Putting the “Race” in “Racial Stereotypes”)

Porky’s Romance (Dog-Gone Love)

Porky’s Duck Hunt (House of End Cards)

Porky’s Railroad (Re-Drawn Together)

Speaking of the Weather (An Old Buddy [Cartoon] of Mine)

Rover’s Rival (Washed-Up Antiques Roadshow)

The Woods Are Full of Cuckoos (Not Kid-ding Around)

Porky’s Hero Agency (No Re-Guard for Consistency)

September in the Rain (No Plot? Plenty of Problems!)


Special Episodes

Shoot to Kill, Censor to Annoy - A look at how Chuck Jones’ iconic trilogy of Bugs and Daffy arguing over which hunting season it is and Elmer getting caught up in it (“Rabbit Fire,” “Rabbit Seasoning,” and “Duck! Rabbit! Duck!”) has been edited on a lot of American TV channels in the 1980s and 1990s. I look forward to this one, since those cartoons are well-known and a generation that most likely grew up seeing them uncut and uncensored (thanks to Cartoon Network, Boomerang, and MeTV not editing for violence and the cartoons being readily available on DVD and streaming) probably don’t know that older generations who saw this on television were forced to see edited versions of it on channels that don’t even air Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies shorts anymore.

Have You Seen This Scene?: A look at several cartoons that have parts cut, but the parts cut were done either before theatrical release or when it was reissued, what the parts could be (if possible), and if any of the scenes have been restored. For a refreshing change of pace, “Red Hot Riding Hood” (an MGM short that technically counts as a Warner Bros cartoon because WB Discovery now owns MGM cartoons and Tex Avery was a director for both WB and MGM) will be included.

A Pig Boy and His Scaredy Cat: A look at how “Scaredy Cat,” “Claws for Alarm,” and “Jumpin’ Jupiter!” -- three Chuck Jones-directed cartoons centered on Porky and Sylvester the cat going on horror-themed vacations -- were cut on American TV. This might be released during Memorial Day weekend, but I really want to do this in June, which is when vacation time really begins to rear its head, thanks to kids going on summer break from school.


Additional Changes

I’ll also be re-making the videos showing how the uncut cartoon being discussed plays vs. the edited version, as I finally have a version of Filmora Wondershare that doesn’t leave watermarks on the exported video. There are currently talks about making future “Drawn and Quartered” installments video blogs with no written entries (as the written entries will be in the video), but nothing is set in stone as of yet.

Please enjoy the time off and I will see you when everything is polished and ready.

‘Til next time:
