The folks putting together the forthcoming DVD set of The Yogi Bear Show are trying to make it as complete as possible, including getting the right credits on all the cartoons. This is, of course, admirable and to be encouraged. Alas, there are two for which they need our help. There was a Yakky Doodle cartoon called "Happy Birthdaze" and a Snagglepuss cartoon called "Royal Rodent." All the prints of those two cartoons in the Turner/WB/Cartoon Network vaults have truncated opening credits. Each lacks the title card that identifies the animator, writer, etc.
If you have an old print of either cartoon (and we're probably looking for someone with a 16mm copy here), can you check it and see if it has that information? We do not need to borrow the cartoons. We need you to tell us what the title cards say. Drop me a note if you can do this. Thanks.
