#horton hatches the egg

[ducktracy]

!!!NEW REVIEW!!!

the first surviving animated adaption of Dr. Seuss' work. the first cartoon directed by Bob Clampett with his new unit of animators to not involve Tex Avery in some way. the short that, by Clampett's own words, solidified the trust of his animators: Horton Hatches the Egg certainly bears a lot of important firsts. an adaptation of the beloved children's book, Clampett's own love of the story is certainly reflected in his short, nailing the perfect balance of heart, obedience to the source, comedy, ingenuity, and some juvenility for good measure. just as the story goes, the short revolves around Horton's loyal efforts to take care of lazy Mayzie's egg after she skimps out--an effort that is much easier said than done.

The misery x cpr x reeces puffs meme is kinda outdated but if i was to redo it, I'd like to do so with the 4 Peter Lorre fish.

Resigning fish will always be misery. He literally offs himself

Slappy is cpr cuz

The Staring Herring and Slippy would be reeces puffs cuz they both silly :)

I take it the author of this transphobic book didn’t read Horton Hatches the Egg as kid

Horton Hatches the Egg premiered Apr 11, 1942, and was directed by Bob Clampett. It was the only Warner Brothers cartoon based on a children's book by Dr Seuss. Horton was gray, not pink, in the book, and Dr Seuss was unhappy with other changes that were made.

I Don't believe I've made any alignment memes for lorre caricatures yet

(BTW this definitely doesn't cover all of them, I just picked out some favourites and popular ones)

A Horton Hatches the Egg AU. Lucy is Horton. The egg belongs to a dragon. Lucy takes such good care of the egg that when it hatches, it's a tiny half-dragon, half-Lucy (i.e. a baby version of Simon at the end of Carry On).

New Carry On prompt!

the real origin of my love of interspecies adoptive relationships was probably Horton Hatches an Egg

[pizzatowerepisodes]

Easter special, you know what that means!

Mort lays an egg on this particular day, and just straight up abandons it because it doesn't want anything to do with the egg. Peppino has to try and take care of it until he comes back, while also attempting to avoid noise's pranks, pizza head's tomfoolery, and much more. But he also wants to do it so the egg can have some company and not feel so lonely. When mort comes back, and asks for the egg to make an omelette, peppino refuses to give the egg back since he bonded the most with it for the entirety of the episode. They are about to get into a fight when the egg hatches. Its a baby chick, with a chef hat and speaks Italian, like peppino! Awww! This was basically inspired by Horton lays an egg. Where the bird abandons her egg and is up to the elephant to take care for it, and the elephant is rewarded of doing so. Peppino being the elephant and Most being the bird.

Is "Horton Hatches The Egg" the last appearance of Slappy, chronologically?

as if to imply that Slappy would ever shuffle off of this mortal coil... he could withstand it. Horton Hatches the Egg was just before Standards and Practices was a thing so that's why we didn't hear an "I'M OKAY" in the distance

TANGENTIAL but i was just talking in a Zoom meeting with the crew recently how cool it is that we get to go full circle with these references. like how celebrity references have both eluded and amused kids and adults for years growing up watching LT, we get to push it forward with Slappy! or even way beforehand with Nosferatu! i'm very lucky to work on a show that still allows kids and adults all over the world to ask the question of the century: who is this guy and why does he look like that?

Three! Three Peter Lorre fishies!

[lorre-logic]

I need someone to tell me what kind of fish the original Peter Lorre fish is

What species?? PLEASE

Happy Brothers

I know The Cheat wasn't supposed to be around until Strong Bad was probably an adult, but I prefer it this way. I feel bad for disrespecting the Chaps' original vision, but... The canon is not really 100% clear, in on episode it implied Tiny Handed Strong Bad is not the current Strong Bad, so I just decided to go with my own canon. Basically, Strong Bad brought home a mysterious egg, and Teenage Strong Mad starting treating the egg like his baby. (Yeah, kind of a Horton Hatches the Egg thing, except for the genetic mutation) And he hatched into a baby The Cheat!

Also, I wanted to give Strong Mad a different outfit from his wrestler uniform. I prefer him not to have tights at a young age.

I almost included their mom but I'm now not sure what to do with any other family members at the moment. I had a really edgy idea of what their cousins would be like, but I'll have to think on if I want to continue the ideas.

“Time to rinse, little guy!”

Henchman oversees the majority of Little Scratch’s care, feeding and bathing and generally loving him. Devil and Dice don’t see this ever backfiring, presumably because they never read Horton Hatches the Egg.
