I really liked this one, especially Marvin himself. The music, the designs, the humor...all very 1960s. It feels a lot less harsh than other "Generation Gap" humor does.
Virtually unrecognizable as a Paramount Cartoon Studios production. Feels more like one of Ralph Bakshi's Terrytoons or when he later had his own studio (it's even akin to something out of "Mighty Mouse: The New Adventures" at times). Still a groovy 60s classic, even if Bakshi doesn't think so!
Ralph only did 4 shorts with Paramount (the last 4) Gulf & Western who recently bought Paramount at this point wanted to get out of the animation business. So my theory is that Ralph decided to make these 4 shorts different than what Paramount was doing to see how far at the time he could push animation. Not quite adult (like Fritz) but not quite kid friendly either but in-between.
This has been my favorite thing from Ralph Bakshi for several years, despite having that old 240p copy for so long. I deeply appreciate your clean transfer of this, this is such a *major* upgrade! Good work!
This was even produced around the same time Warner Bros. Animation had re-opened under Warner Bros.- Seven Arts. This short was released theatrically only a week before "Fiesta Fiasco".
Very good job fellows!! Congratulations. I Love Ralph Bakshi! ♥️♥️♥️♥️ I really liked this one, especially Marvin himself. The music, the designs, the humor...all very 1960s. It feels a lot less harsh than other "Generation Gap" humor does.

We watched this in my animation aesthetics class at film school -- loved it!
Man, the late 60s and early 70s were trippy

Reminds of Norman Normal (1968).
Unlike that short, this one has style and substance

This was a lot of fun, and I dimly remember seeing it once.

Good to see this one again. Long live Paramount Animation!
The final Famous Studios/Paramount Cartoon Studios short is "Mouse Trek", right?

Quite a long way from the early 1930s Betty Boop and Popeye cartoons.
It is, a couple animators on this were probably ready to retire, though I recall Al Eugster continued animating in the 70's.
This is a really great looking print!
Reminds me of Wait Till Your Father Gets Home,
It does feel like a precursor of things to come.
Marvin is so adorable!
