List of Warner Bros. cartoons with Blue Ribbon reissues

Many Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies shorts were given Blue Ribbon reissues by Warner Bros. between 1943 and 1969.

Background

The Blue Ribbon program was initiated in late 1943 as a way to cut costs for producing cartoons during World War II, and later as a way to compete against the growing popularity of television. Through the reissue seasons, the reissues had a given season's opening rings, followed by a title card which showed a blue ribbon (hence the program's title) and a Grand Shorts Award trophy. Only color cartoons were reissued in this program.

For the first few seconds of this part, the Merrie Melodies logo was shown on top, with the legends "A WARNER BROS. CARTOON" (or in the earlier years, "Produced by LEON SCHLESINGER") and either "IN TECHNICOLOR" (1943–48), "Color by TECHNICOLOR" (1948–54), "COLOR BY TECHNICOLOR"/"PRINT BY TECHNICOLOR (both 1954-57, the "PRINT.." variation was used if the cartoon was originally made/released in Cinecolor), or "TECHNICOLOR" (1957–64) being shown on the bottom. Afterwards, the title of the cartoon appeared. There was one exception to this (see "Anomalies" below).

Beginning with the 1956-57 season, the part where the cartoon's title being showed on the aforementioned background was eliminated. Instead, the original technical credits were shown (though the rings - but not the original opening and some closing music - were still replaced. Most of the closing music still survives).

A Feud There Was was the first cartoon to be reissued in 1943 of September. These cartoons from 1943-45 had the WB Shield come out(it was really big) then the words WARNER BROS. and Present on the bottom. Then it would go to the blue ribbon with the trophy with produced by LEON SCHLESINGER, IN TECHNICOLOR then the title and the screen darkens. If the cartoon was reissued and credits Schlesinger's name, the original closing is kept. 1938 closing rings are used on dubbed versions of cartoons that bear Schlesinger's name.

When I Yoo Hoo is the first cartoon to be reissued and have A WARNER BROS. CARTOON. The screen still darkened and had the really big WB shield on opening but said WARNER BROS. PICTURES INC. at the top and cut original closing titles as well as to hide any mentions of Schlesinger. This cartoon was released in 1936 so at the end the original music still played on the closing rings it had the 1947-48 dubbed version rings. Merrily We Roll Along wasn't used in this cartoon yet in the original credits.

Cartoons reissued that were originally released from 1937-1940 kept the original closing music, but rings and titles were replaced. Cartoons reissued that were originally released from September 1944-1951 in the Merrie Melodies category kept their original closings as they were produced by Eddie Selzer and reissued during his career. (Example: Goldilocks and the Jivin' Bears was released in 1944 of September(the first cartoon produced by Selzer). It started with the 1951-52 opening rings(evident one red ring a red background and blue rings) but closed with the original 1944 rings(evident from the red background blue rings) as the closing said Produced By Warner Bros. Cartoons at the end.) Only the 1955-56 seasons replaced original closings. Then the 1959-64 season as well(certain ones). In the 1955-56 season dubbed version closings were not replaced. Cartoons in the Looney Tunes category originally released in 1942-1946 had all credits cut.

Starting in 1947 cartoons in the Looney Tunes series reissued from 1954-56 kept the original ending music, but still had the Merrie Melodies closing rings. There were 4 exceptions to the rule (see Anomailies below).

From the 1949-1950 through 1957-1958 release seasons, the Blue Ribbon reissues were assigned new production numbers which appeared below the WB shield on the main title. During the time of the cartoon studio's shutdown, the 1953-1954 (#'s 1351-1363) and 1954-1955 (#'s 1364-1377) reissue production number groups ran back to back.

Only color cartoons were eligible to be reissued in this program. Cinecolor cartoons counted in 1947-49 cartoons were produced in Cinecolor to save money. Cartoons in Cinecolor had different rings than Technicolor. Cinecolor rings in the 1947-48 season were red background with yellow-greenish rings.(Technicolor did not use these rings until after You Were Never Duckier. Hot Cross Bunny had original rings replaced.) Cartoons in 1948-49 season had blue background with yellow-orangish rings. (This is the same as the Technicolor rings.)

Anomalies

The 1940 cartoon The Mighty Hunters was the one exception to the original rule. The 1952-53 opening rings and "Blue Ribbon" title card were shown as normal, but then proceeded to the original technical credits. This was the only cartoon which ended up in the a.a.p. package (released prior to August 1, 1948) to be reissued under the 1956-57 (and later) rules.

On the other hand, only five cartoons which WB would keep for their own TV packages (released August 1, 1948 or later) were reissued under the original 1943 rules (the technical credits are removed). These were: Daffy Dilly, The Foghorn Leghorn, Kit for Cat, Scaredy Cat, and You Were Never Duckier. The latter cartoon was reissued in the 1954-55 season, while the others were reissued during the 1955-56 season. Kit for Cat was the only Looney Tunes while the rest are Merrie Melodies. Also, Daffy Dilly is the only one of those five to not survive with original technical credits. The other 4 have their original credits restored(Kit for Cat has only the opening restored but faded with the Blue Ribbon closing rings). Kit for Cat is the only Friz Freleng cartoon in this category and The Foghorn Leghorn is the only Robert McKimson in this category. The other 3 are directed by Chuck Jones.

Also, 4 Looney Tunes sold to Associated Artists Productions, have their original closings either kept or restored. They are ◾The Goofy Gophers (cartoon)(only post-September 1944 cartoon in the public domain) ◾What's Bruin' Bruin?(Actually What's Brewin' Bruin?) ◾Hop, Look and Listen(original titles restored TV shows original titles) ◾Crowing Pains(dubbed version has closing replaced with 1995 turner rings)(original titles restored TV airs blue ribbon)

House Hunting Mice is known to have prints that contain the original closing as well.

Recreated titles

For unknown reasons, two 1938 shorts contain blue ribbon recreated titles under the supervision of media mogul Ted Turner.

Both of these shorts have the original titles restored for a DVD or Blu-Ray release.
