In this episode, we delve into a review of the classic Looney Tunes cartoon 'Back Alley Opera,' directed by Frizz Freleng. Released on March 27, 1948, and reissued on February 5, 1955, this cartoon is the 518th in the series. We compare it to its earlier version 'Notes to You,' also directed by Freleng. Featuring Sylvester and Elmer Fudd, 'Back Alley Opera' showcases the incredible voice talents of Mel Blanc. We discuss the intricate gags, musical performances, and Freleng's impeccable timing, ultimately debating which of the two cartoons stands out as the superior piece. Special guest Manny Cruz joins the conversation, sharing insights from a musician's perspective. 00:00 Introduction and Welcome 00:23 Overview of Back Alley Opera 01:06 Special Guest Introduction 01:24 Trivia and Background Information 03:33 Discussion on Mel Blanc's Performance 04:57 Favorite Scenes and Gags 09:14 Comparison with Notes to You 10:09 Final Thoughts and Ratings 15:26 Conclusion100 episodes
