We need a cartoon here, I think. This weblog doesn't feel right without a cartoon on it once in a while. This is A Day at the Zoo, a Warner Brothers cartoon directed by Tex Avery and released on March 11, 1939. There are no credits on this print but if there were, they'd say that the animation was done by Rollin Hamilton and that the story was by Robert Clampett and Melvin Millar. Clampett was already directing his own cartoons by this time and I have no idea why he received story credit on a Tex Avery cartoon. Voices were by Mel Blanc and Dave Weber, with Gil Warren as the narrator. Dave Weber, who also went by the name of Danny Webb, was the guy they usually called in when they needed a celebrity voice impersonation in those days.
That's about all you need to know right now. Enjoy the cartoon.
