![]() (Unlike in the original, Porky does not find out about the other Dodos inhabiting Wackyland.) The colored Dodo also makes a very brief cameo in Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Although the plot is basically as before there, Porky uses a different method of capturing the Dodo: he disguises himself as a dodo bird himself, prompting the real Dodo to handcuff him, allowing him to be close enough to hammer the Dodo. The Dodo wasn't seen again in animation, except for a color remake in 1949, titled " Dough for the Do-do", where he is depicted with green plumage. While the bird is confused by this, Porky hits him with a mallet and captures him, at which point a flock of other dodo birds appear to confirm this one's statement that he is the last of their kind. Porky eventually does capture the Dodo by beating him at his own game, in the form of disguising himself as a bearded paperboy proclaiming that he's already captured the Dodo. As Porky soon discovers, the Dodo is a very formidable adversary who plays several tricks on him by messing around with the scenery. In "Porky in Wackyland", Porky Pig travels to the nonsensical locale of Wackyland in search of this creature, believed to be the last of the seemingly-extinct dodo bird. I didn’t want this an excuse to bicker about the good ol days, but rather to revisit a key part of my childhood.Yoyo Dodo, formerly known as simply The Dodo Bird, is a wacky bird first seen in the 1938 Looney Tunes short " Porky in Wackyland". ![]() But instead of doing a typical fanart piece, I wanted it to be something a little more personal. Since Toon June is just about over, I though I would close out the month with an attempt at doing the now popular CN Color Pallete Challenge. Anyone who says the channel sucks now definitely was NOT around when this program was on in the late 2000’s.Īnd while I can find a lot of these old shows to watch online or on various streaming services, doing that can never replace those memories of staying up late and binging them for the first time. But at least its nowhere near as bad CN Real. Plus I’ve come to appreciate some of the newer stuff the channel has to offer nowadays, even if some of the new stuff is definitely not my thing. Part of the reason is that I’ve branched out into watching other content, so I don’t rely on that channel as much I used to in the past. Nowadays I don’t watch CN that much anymore. I’ll save my full thoughts for that channel for another time. But that gradually faded right up until that channel got rebranded. But I watched them with a better sense of appreciation for them and even caught other shows I somehow missed out on when they were new. It ALMOST felt like the CN channel from back in the day when I came across the older shows I liked. I did get a brief revival of that feeling when I got access to Boomerang years later. ![]() At that point, I had already moved onto Nickelodeon and Disney Channel more often. And while I did like some the stuff that came later, the channel was never the same for me. ![]() That feeling lasted until the early 2000’s when Adult Swim (which I liked) and other newer programs replaced the older stuff I loved. But it was always something I looked forward to just about every night. Sometimes my sister would wake up and watch them with me, I would fix myself snacks to eat during the commercial breaks, other times I would have a notebook to draw my favorite characters as I watched them. The CN originals, the Hanna Barbara shows, the Looney Tunes shows, and MGM shorts. But I would stay up as late as I could, or at least until my parents found out I was up, watching all the shows the channel had to offer. I didn’t get one in my room until much later. I vividly remember the many nights I would sneak out of bed to watch TV in my older sister’s room. My earliest memories of watching TV were spent mainly on Cartoon Network throughout the 90s. Apparently Deviantart think it was too long to post as it kept getting deleted every time I uploaded it, despite not having a limited word count! FML) ![]()
