Hoppy Go Lucky

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hoppy Go Lucky is a 1952 Looney Tunes short film starring Sylvester and Hippety Hopper. Like all the Sylvester/Hippety Hopper shorts, it was directed by Robert McKimson. The episode is based on the book Of Mice and Men, which was very popular at the time; it features a giant, dimwitted cat named "Bennie", who wants Sylvester, who Bennie calls "George", to help him catch a mouse to "hug and pet." Mel Blanc voices Sylvester and Stan Freberg voices Bennie

[edit] Censorship

• On the ABC airing of this cartoon, the very end where Sylvester is shown disheveled and dazed after the dynamite in his burlap sack explodes is cut with a fake iris-out and ending music before the explosion cloud settles.
• On the CBS airing of this cartoon, the part where Sylvester hits Benny over the head with a sledgehammer (with the sledgehammer crumbling and Benny feeling no pain from being hit) was cut.
