    Several times in the past few years, I have made videos discussing my love of the Jim Davis character Garfield the cat. We’re talked about movies, vacation hot spots, and even lost media during this time, but there’s one angle we still haven’t looked at: Garfield’s “rival” of sorts, Heathcliff! Today on Quinton Reviews, I want to take an equally heavy look at THIS orange cat, from Hogan’s Alley to the Catillac Cats! There’s a lot of history to cover here, and I’m excited to get underway!

    I'm pretty sure Garbage Ape is a parody of holiday characters like the Easter Bunny or to a lesser extent Santa. Instead being a rabbit that brings eggs and chocolate to human children, it's an ape that brings garbage to cats.
    The joke is that the Garbage Ape makes every bit as much sense as the Easter Bunny, but the Ape just doesn't have the cultural history for him to seem normal to us.

      I don’t understand why quinton was pretending not to understand it though. It’s clearly just a fictional scapegoat for the cats to blame for knocking the trash cans over so they can eat. When the humans get mad at the cats for knocking trash cans over, they can presumably be like “oh wasn’t us, that was the garbage ape”. Or maybe people that haven’t had pets aren’t familiar with the guilty “it wasn’t me” look cats give you when they knock stuff over

    Garbage Ape is really a genus piece of humor if you think of it.
    The joke is the idea of cats having a mythological character similar in strangeness to someone like Santa, like how strange and foreign the idea would sound to someone who didn't grow up with the culture he is a part of. Garbage Ape isn't supposed to make sense, almost making him an early anti-humor meme.

    The thing about "Heathcliff and the Catillac Cats" is that it's first season was co-produced by TMS. So you had original characters being designed by an anime studio for a decidedly non-anime source material. Though on a technical level it actually did look better than a lot of cartoons from that era. At least in terms of how the characters moved around.

    The "Last Original Voice" trivia fact is most likely true. By the 80s, Mel Blanc had become a mainstream celebrity and was even appearing on talk shows. Because of this, he no longer needed to rely on voice acting as his only source of income and started charging higher rates. For example, the part of Scrappy-Doo was originally written for him but was given to someone else when HB learned they could no longer afford him.

    • @blkgardner

      @mobo85 3 роки тому +24

      According to Dave Thomas (the comedian, not the Wendy's guy), Blanc's fee towards the end of his life was $10,000 an hour plus a limo rental. Given that Blanc was arguably THE only cartoon voice actor who was a household name even to this day, it's not surprising that he was able to charge such a fee for his services. (Thomas and Rick Moranis wanted him to voice Bob and Doug McKenzie's father in "Strange Brew" but the president of MGM balked at his fee. They eventually got him in the studio for an hour and lied to the studio president by saying "we were able to talk him down to $10,000 for the entire session.")

    Heathcliff and Garfield are two different takes on the exact same character brief; “the character is a cat whose actions, no matter how bizarre, are stereotypically cat like in nature”.
    Garfield ended up having his character traits being a cat’s stereotypical laziness while Heathcliff had his traits be a cats stereotypical natural to live on the streets essentially, or do cat things (like the scratching pole dress joke).
