About this Episode

TFG1 Mike, Doug Abel, and Mr. Neal gather to pay tribute to the late, legendary voice actress June Foray. The discussion covers her vast filmography, ranging from her iconic Looney Tunes roles like Granny and Witch Hazel to her work as Jokey Smurf, Magica De Spell, and Chatty Cathy. The hosts reflect on her massive influence on the animation industry, including her successful efforts to establish the Annie Awards and create an Academy Award category for Best Animated Feature. They also recount personal anecdotes about her, including her live performances and the dedication she showed toward her craft well into her nineties.

I brought you surprise. I guarantee you'll get

a big bang out of it. My baby. Baby? Oh, no.

Naughty baby mustn't try to run away. Mother...

Hello and welcome to a very special episode of

ToonCast Classic and ToonCast Beyond. I am, of

course, TFG1 Mike. Joining me is Doug Abel from

Talking About My Generation. Hello. Hello, sir.

And also joining us is TV's Mr. Neal. And now

here's something we hope you'll really like.

You are so wrong. You are so evil. Well, it's

one of our most famous roles. Yes, it is, but,

you know... Well, Granny doesn't have any quotes.

Sure she does. Granny has... Has what? I thought

I saw a putty dad that's tweeting. No, no, no,

no. Granny, it was the episode where Sam, it

was a Bugs and Sam episode where she got chased

around the house. She was a rich old lady. Yeah.

Anyway, so yeah, folks, now that Neil has brought

the show down even more, I'm going to bring it

down even more than that. Sadly, legendary voice

actress June Foray has... passed away and she

is no longer with us uh i mean she was 99 she

lived a full life i assume you know and every

she was recording all the way up through uh 2015

so yeah come on yeah no i know i know that and

i'm just saying it's like You know, everybody's

like, oh, why do you make such a big deal of

this stuff? Everybody's going to die eventually.

Well, yeah, that's true. But, you know, a lot

of these people in the voiceover industry and

in Hollywood in general, you know, they affect

our lives. Not all of us can be out in Hollywood,

you know. Well, except for those that live south

of Hollywood. I know, right? But yes, we're here

to remember June Foray, her various roles, and

other things. Do you remember the first cartoon

of hers that you saw, Neil? It was probably a

Looney Tunes cartoon. Either that or... You know

what? She was in Tom and Jerry. She was in Disney

cartoons. She was in everything. It could have

been anything. It could have been Bullwinkle.

Yeah. Hokey smokes, right? Right. What about

you, Doug? Oh, God. For me, honestly, I would

have to say it was probably as jokey Smurf in

Smurfs. I did see Rocky and Bullwinkle, and I

saw Gummy Bears and all that, but it wasn't until

after I'd seen the Smurfs. So that was probably

the first time I remember ever hearing her voice.

And, you know, God help me, I didn't realize

that she did Jokey Smurf until about probably

five or six years ago. It just didn't dawn on

me that that was her. Yep. That was the best

Smurf, by the way. I loved Jokey Smurf. Jokey

was awesome. Even more than Brainy. Yeah, Brainy's

just a blue version of Donatello. But Brainy's

funny. Clumsy, clumsy, clumsy. For me, any number

of the Witch Hazel Looney Tunes cartoons, obviously

Rocky and Bullwinkle, the Smurfs. One of the

big ones later, like after all of that, was she

was Lena Hyena in Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Right.

I did not know that she was the grandmother in

Mulan at the time. I found that out later. But,

yeah, she was in Mulan. And, you know, like you

said, you know, she did various Disney voices

and other things like that. She always – and

you had never got a chance to meet her at Comic

-Con, did you, Doug? Actually, I did. That's

what I figured. Well, let me explain how that

went down. It was kind of a very nice to meet

you, Miss Foray. And she goes, oh, she couldn't

hear for shit, which, you know, she was in her

90s at the time. I can't blame her for not being

able to hear me very well. But Mark Evanier.

brought her in i want to say this is probably

like 20 2011 2012 something like that and she

was at a panel and they were talking about her

and he said he goes you know what we had no idea

nobody had in the emmy world had any idea that

june foray had not won an emmy yet so they said

we've got to do something about that we're we've

got to you know we got to work to get her an

emmy because It was 94, so this would have been

four years ago. And he said he put her in, they

got her nominated, and he got the call. Mark

Evanier got the call before June even had any

clue. He got a call saying, hey, June's been

nominated. And he got her nominated for the Garfield

show. And so they brought her in, they were talking

about it, and they announced she had won the

Emmy. It was this huge thing. And he went and

he took her to the Emmys. But while she's there,

she's talking about it. You know, she's saying,

and Mark is asking her, so June, do you remember

this? And she's like, Oh, it was a wonderful

thing. And while there were a lot of people around

and well, I was on my bed. So it just, she was

very, very sweet, very nice lady. But you know,

she towards the end, I got to say, I don't think.

She really had her faculties about her for anything

outside of, hey, I'm going to do my job, I'm

going to record, and that's it. It was kind of

– that's what my focus is. I don't know if it

was just that or if she couldn't hear me for

anything I was asking her or saying or congratulating

her. That was really it. Mark was more focused

on trying to tell her things than anything else.

Yeah. Yeah, I did not know. I knew she did some

live -action stuff. I did not know exactly how

much, but I'm going to have to now go hunt down

the episode God's Shoes of Married With Children

because she played Scary Mary in that. Oh, my

God. She's always... Besides Granny for all the

various Looney Tunes, when we say Looney Tunes,

folks, we mean everything. She was always Granny,

whether it was Sylvester and Twitty Mysteries,

Tiny Tunes, all that stuff. She was Granny for

it all. Well, not exactly. She's a second Granny.

Yeah. Because there was, oh, I forget her name,

Bee something or other, but she was actually

Granny for a while. She was also the voice of

Betty Rubble. Which is kind of funny because

she got teamed with Mel Blanc, so the Rubbles

were also the voices of the Looney Tunes. But

then about 1955 is when they brought June in.

June was actually granny on the storybook vinyls.

I used to have a lot of these. These books that

came with 45 -speed little records that you'd

play while you were reading the book. Yeah, she

was granny for those. And then after the other

actress... quit, they brought her in to do the

cartoons officially. She also played another

witch hazel. She was a witch hazel in the Disney

cartoon called Trick or Treat, which was a Donald

Duck cartoon. She also played a very similar

witch in a Tom and Jerry cartoon called The Flying

Sorceress. My favorite witch hazel cartoon. I

like them all. Uh, but there's two absolute favorites.

It's the one where she gets turned into a hot

rabbit at the end and bugs is like, Oh, of course

I know, but aren't they all witches inside? You

know, it was one of Chuck Jones's best ones.

And the other one was a witch's tangled hair,

which is basically, you know, playing on Shakespeare.

Yeah. Uh, because as I recall, there were a lot

of, uh, very politically incorrect jokes in that

you know she'd fly the broom backwards and she'd

say oh we women drivers i had the silly thing

in reverse oh you saw the cartoon today are you

kidding me i watched that like okay look you

know we're gonna eventually do another special

episode here folks talking about the new boomerang

streaming service but ever since i found the

boomerang streaming service i made sure all the

witch hazel cartoons were on there so i can watch

them all i watch a witch's tangled hair on loop

and repeat. I know every bit of that. Still asleep.

Wake up. Wake up. What's up, Zaza? Zaza? Oh,

you're sweet. Hey, just what I need. A bath.

Bath? Yes, bath. Mother, scrub your back. Mother.

Zha -Zha. Something smells real yummy. What's

cooking, witch -doctress? I'll be rinsing out

a few things, but... Oh, broomsticks. I'll never

get dinner cooked at this rate. My... Modesty

is one of my girlish qualities. Must cost plenty

to heat this pile of rocks. Oh, yeah? Well...

Top that, Lula Brigida. Silly thing in reverse.

Hello. Goodbye. Good grief. Good riddance. Hark!

What light through yonder window breaks? Tis

the east and Juliet... Juliet? Romeo, Romeo,

wherefore art thou, Romeo? Herefore I art. Well,

don't just stand there like a ninny. Come on

up. No, I art bashful. You come down. I'll catch

you. As you like. Why didn't you show up that

night to meet my folks? I went to a party. Outside

of the, you know, outside of the, oh, we women

drivers. Outside of that line, favorite thing

out of there is when she flies up to the tower

and she goes. hello bug just like goodbye puts

like a anvil in her hand she goes good grief

which hazel is charlie brown's mother not really

i did not know this though but seeing as how

the show is coming back we can't go without talking

about I knew one of these characters. I didn't

know the other one. And it's been years since

I've seen this show. But DuckTales, Mob Beagle,

Magica Dispel, and Mrs. Featherby. Yes. Yahoo!

We're rolling in the dough! Yeah! But we were

rolling the doughnuts! I thought we were just

going to disguise this bit like a baby! Tomorrow

we'll bring you back some doughnuts, sweet thug.

It contains the psychic vibrations of every deal,

every decision, every dollar Scrooge has ever

made. Once I melt that diamond, pour it into

my amulet, I will be so powerful, not only will

I turn you back into my brother, but the world

will be mine as well! The only reason why I remember

Magicka is because... She seems to be a more

sexy witch than Witch Hazel. You know, you start

to realize something here. There's a theme going

on with June. She played pretty much a witch

for her entire career. Witch Hazel, she played

as, obviously, Magic of the Spell. When she won

her Emmy, it was for a witch that she was playing

on the Garfield show. It's like, damn, lady.

I still love her for it. I still think she was

absolutely wonderful and very, very much a part

of my childhood. And I know part of my parents'

childhood, and I know part of friends' kids,

their childhoods. You know, June's been around,

and she's going to stay. Even though she's gone,

her voice is still going to be remembered for

those kids, even long after. So Neil and I have

a plan for episode 94 of Pixels in the Animation

this holiday season. We're going to be talking,

at one point in that episode, we're going to

be talking about Saturday's Supercade. She was

Additional Voices. Wow. So we'll have to keep

our ears out for her watching that. Yeah, she

may or may not be in the episode that I selected.

I don't know. I can show you all the episodes.

We'll figure it out later. She was in The Incredible

Hulk. TV series from 82 to 83. Bugs. Oh, she

was Granny. Oh, she was Goldie Mouse, too, in

Bugs Bunny's third movie, 1001 Rabbit Tales.

Oh, yeah. In fact, actually, now you bring that

up, the first Granny cartoon that she was in

was that Red Riding Hood cartoon. Yep. She will

be missed, and she left a legacy that no one

will ever be able to touch. She may be the last

of the classic voices to finally die off. She

deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as

Mel Blanc, Dawes Butler, Don Messick, Stan Freeberg,

John Stevenson, Gary Owen, Gene Vanderpile. You

know, Neil, it's funny that you mentioned that

about Mel Blanc. A lot of people, Chuck Jones

said, you know, a lot of people say that she's

the female Mel Blanc. And he goes, oh, Mel was

the male June Foray. And, you know, hearing that,

I'm kind of like, you know, he's got a point.

She did so damn many voices. I miss her. I already

miss the woman when she's gone. Another thing

I saw her in was an episode of Get Smart. Oh,

really? Yeah, and only 299 from 1970. She was

Impostor 99's quote -unquote real voice. She

was Sandra in the Brady Bunch. One episode. Well,

there's a reason I might have missed that. It's

the Brady Bunch. But I mean, the woman has done

so many things over her lifetime and over all

of our lifetimes as well. She was in an episode

of Gilligan's Island. Good night, sweet skipper.

I think I saw that one. I've seen quite a few

of them, but some that I missed, obviously. I

mean, she will always be remembered for all the

voices that she has done. And hers is, you know,

like Neil said, she may be one of the last or

the last of the classical voice actors, voice

actresses. But anytime you heard that voice,

you knew. Even if you didn't know her name at

the time, you knew who that was. It's like, oh

yeah, that's the same lady that does this or

does that or whatever else. And it was just...

So, so amazing. And, you know, like I said, she

left us with, you know, a legacy of a lifetime.

I remember seeing, and this is really kind of

what really has sucked me in even more to voice

actors, was the movie trailer for I Know That

Voice. And I remember seeing it on Gizmodo of

all places, which is kind of odd. But they showed

her, and she's going through, and they showed

all these different voice actors. Rob Paulson,

E .G. Daly, John DiMaggio. And they get to a

short clip, and they show June Foray. And she's

sitting there, and she's talking about doing

Rocky the Flying Squirrel. And all of a sudden,

she just slides right into Rocky's voice. And

I'm going, my God, the woman is 90 if she's a

day. And she's pulling it off like it's nothing.

Just right into the voice. That, you know, you

hear that and people are, you know, I'm sure

that people hearing that, you know, even my parents

would be like, oh, my God, she can still do this

voice. You know, that's my childhood. You know,

Rob Paulson even said that when he worked with

her one day, he asked her to say, Miss Frey,

would you please just say Hokie Smokes for me?

And she did it. And he goes, oh, my God, I'm

sitting in front of my TV in 1965. Again, he

goes, I mean, Michael Jackson was watching Rocky

and Bullwinkle. You know, all these voice actors

are talking about her and, you know, giving her

props. It really is something when you think

about it, because they respected her so much.

And, you know, she's gone, and they're not going

to have that legacy anymore to carry on. They

are the legacy. I don't want to put them down

as saying that they're not good because all those

voice actors are very good. Like I said, Rob

Paulson, Tress McNeil, Frank Welker, they're

all great, but they're the next generation. They're

not the originals who really started out doing

this. Like Neil mentioned, Dawes Butler, Gary

Owens and such. Pinto Colvig. Yeah. Paul Freese.

Come on. Yeah, absolutely. I mean, she is just

one of those ones that will always be remembered

no matter what. Because, as I said, her voice

is just everywhere. I heard a rumor, and I have

yet to be able to confirm this, that I know that

voice is becoming a TV series. Really? It is.

That was confirmed at Comic -Con. John DiMaggio

is working with it. Bob Bergen has also confirmed

it. They're moving forward on it, and I think

it's an absolutely wonderful thing that they're

going to be going on. Oh, absolutely. Everybody,

all these voice actors need the recognition.

They deserve it. They absolutely deserve all

the hard work they put in. Now, June Foray, again.

We talk about her voice and how we all heard

her voice, but nobody knew what she looked like.

Nobody had any clue. And, you know, nobody realized

how hard she worked and all the things that she's

done until now that we're talking about. I mean,

I had known simply because of Rob's podcast,

Talking Tunes and other things like that, because

I remember him saying either after the fact or

before the thing was after the fact, she wasn't

going to come on unless it was a live audience.

So that's why they did the live talking tunes

with June Foray. And going back and listening

to that again, it's such a great, great listen

to hear her tell her stories. Just so many voices.

What was it? She actually did a voice for...

God, there was a doll, and I can't for life remember

what the doll was. Now I've got to go look it

up and see. Kid's sister? No, no, no. It's like

well before that. Oh, okay. Because they made

fun of it. Well, I don't want to say they made

fun of it. They kind of spoofed it in an episode

of The Twilight Zone called Talky Tina. And I

say, God, I'm looking forward to see if I can

find it here where they talk about it. Neil,

any other thoughts while he's looking that up?

Just something that is kind of a television mystery

for me, because we've got to keep up our quota

here. There was an episode of The Transformers,

Mike, where Wheelie's voice changed for like

one scene, and I swear to God he slipped into

Rocky the Flying Squirrel, and I don't know to

this day if that was June Foray who did it. And

I'll tell you the line, it's... It was Planet

I Know, but Decepticons Follow. It's from Five

Faces of Darkness. Part 2 or Part 3. One of those.

But I swear to God, it sounds like her. To the

best of my knowledge, she was never credited

on that show. No, I don't think she was at all.

I don't know how that would happen unless it

was like an ADR backup thing and unless something

happened with Frank that day. Yeah. Because Frank

was wheelie and I know the line. It's like one

of the weirdest voice changes in the middle of

a show. Yeah. Yeah, you'd almost expect it to

say, you know, pull the soap opera gag. The voice

of wheelie is now being played by. Right. They

pull the bandages off of Wheatley and it's June.

Found it? Yes, I did. So basically Mattel had

a doll called Chatty Cathy. Oh yeah, I remember

Chatty Cathy. Pull the string and all of a sudden

Chatty Cathy starts talking. Well, June did the

voice of Chatty Cathy. Oh wow. So, you know,

you have that and then when they did the the

evil doll on the Twilight Zone episode, Living

Doll, was the voice of Talkie Tina as well. Oh,

wow. So, really creepy thing. You're kind of

like, oh, dude, I don't know if I want my kids

to play with a Chatty Cathy anymore. Oh, my God.

That's awesome. That is so, so awesome. But,

yes, June Foray, she will be missed. Like I've

already said, she's left a legacy that will...

way beyond our lifetime. You can't go without

watching any number of Looney Tunes stuff to

Tom and Jerry to any of that other stuff without

recognizing her voice. I often thought that Grammy

Gummy from the Gummy Bears was just an older,

deeper version of Granny from the Looney Tunes.

gummy medallion but zombie where would a human

child get his hands on a great medallion oh the

same voice same actress but well yeah i know

but different changes yeah at times with grammy

from from gummy bears she's got a few vocal inflections

that are different than granny from looney tunes

all right you say your grandfather gave it to

you where did he get it He found it when he was

a boy. In a ruined city. Way up in the western

mountains. Could I have something to drink? No.

You have the manners of a belly goat. Bless you,

child. Of course we'll get you a drink. Because

Grammy from the Gummy Bears is a little bit more

sassy than Granny from Looney Tunes. Yeah, Granny

from Looney Tunes was kind of just... I don't

want to say airheaded, but she was kind of...

Kind of flighty and kind of fun. And, you know,

Gummy Gummy was more let's get cooking, let's

get things done, and talk back to me, dude. Yep.

Granny from the Looney Tunes had a touch of senility.

A little senile. Yes, she did. Except the only

episode I don't think I ever saw that in is the

episode where she played a nurse. Because Sylvester

and Tweety and the dog were all chasing each

other. They all end up in the hospital. And while

they're in the hospital, Sylvester tries to get

Tweety and the dog tries to stop Sylvester. And

they have all these, you know, hijinxes with

crutches and wheelchairs and everything else.

And, you know, they get better and they leave

at the end of it. And next thing you know, you

hear a giant car screeching tires. And Granny

the Nurse just, you know, she just put the charts

in the outpatient. And, you know, she goes, oh,

well, I guess they'll be back. Or she says something.

I forget what she does. And she puts them back

in. Yeah, that's what it is. Well, maybe that

will teach you to stop chasing the pussycat.

And how's the pussyfoot today? Still sensitive?

Well, maybe now you leave that little birdie

alone. I hope this teaches both of you a lesson.

Oh, the poor little tweety bird. Let's make you

a little more comfortable. Now you be good boys

and get some rest. and give you something to

make you sleep. There now, it'll be more quiet

on this side of the room and those pills will

put you to sleep in a few minutes. He's nowhere

around. I'd better peek in and see how little

Tweety Bird is doing. Why don't you get a hobby

like the pussycat? When you two decide to behave,

I'll unstrap you. That's in Daffy Duck's Fantastic

Island as well. That is a funny cartoon. Yeah,

it is. So here's a little tidbit. Did you guys

know that June was really the one that started

the Annie Awards? Really? No. She came up with

the idea back in 1972. She also helped create

ASIFA Hollywood, which is the Association International

to Film Animation. or the International Animated

Film Association. And she came up with that,

and she noticed that there really wasn't any

awards for animation or for voice actors or anything

like that, so she pushed forward to it, and they

finally got it. Now in, let's see, where was

it here? In 1995, 1995, Asifa established the

June Foray Award. And it's kind of like a lifetime

achievement award for animation. Really, I think

that's great. She was the first recipient of

that award. Well, that seems kind of obvious

to me. Hey, you've got to give it to June Foray

for her recognition. Yeah, absolutely. But the

fact that she pushed for that and she got that

from... June also petitioned to get the Academy

Award for Best Animated Feature. So if we didn't

have that, we wouldn't be seeing things like

Beauty and the Beast being up there or – I'm

trying to think of some of the other ones – Cars.

All these animated films that we've seen in recent

years, we wouldn't have had a category for those

within the Motion Picture Association. So we

have June to thank for that at least. Yeah, absolutely.

I mean, you know, she was, you know, she, along

with Mel, I mean, they, they set the pace and

everybody's still keeping up, you know? And you

know, it's going to, it's going to be just like

Mel where it's going to take an army of people

to replace her. Oh yeah. There's no, there is

no one woman out there that can do, the voice

of Granny the way that June did it. If they ever

do another Rocky and Bullwinkle anything, whether

it's cartoon or live action or whatever, there's

no way that they could replace either one of

them. I mean, you know, Jason Alexander as Boris

was kind of funny, but whatever. But yeah, you're

right. Same thing with Mel. It is going to take

an army to replace him. I don't know. Maybe Tress

could do it. Maybe Tress McNeil has a voice in

her repertoire that she could use that would

be... Closest that I would put up there. Even

that, I would think that... I would wonder if

Tress would be like, oh, that's almost sacrilege

to step on. Not that Tress isn't good. I'm just

wondering if that's how she would feel about

it. Yeah, I'm not sure. But, I mean, look at

everybody. And I know it's been almost, you know,

30 years since Mel died, but look at all the

different voices for Bugs now. You know, you

had Billy West, you had Jeff Bergman, you had,

I think, Bob Bergen did it a couple of times.

Not often, but, you know, you've got all these

other people that are, you know, playing Bugs

now. Same thing with Daffy. I mean... What's

really going to be crazy is somebody having to

find a replacement for Cummings for Taz because

outside of Mel Blanc, Jim Cummings is the only

person I know that can voice Taz. Oh, that's

going to be a dark day when he goes. He's still

young as far as I know, so we've got a while.

I'm not trying to say, but it's just one of those

things where someone like June Ferre passes away

and you think, okay, so what happens if some

of the others that have taken over Mel's roles,

what happens to them? Hopefully we'll all be

gone by then, though. I don't know. This is really

turning very, very morbid. Any final thoughts,

Doug? I think I've said it all. She was just

a great woman. I'm glad I met her once, and she's

going to be missed. That's really it. Neil? Well,

I said that she might be the last of the classic

voices, and I understand it's a very arbitrary

line to draw, but I do believe she is the last

of the theatrical actors to pass away from the

old shorts. Yeah, I mean, you know, she was 99

years old when she passed, and the Looney Tunes

stuff started, what, early mid -20s? Something

like that. Yeah, so, I mean, that's a very, very

long career. Well, she would have been three

when that started. I know, but I'm saying that...

I'm thinking that she was active around, like,

the mid -40s. Yeah. Yeah, well, according to

Wikipedia, she was active from 1930 to 2014,

so... It's a long haul. Oh, God. Yeah, yeah.

Very, very much. As for me, I will... Always

remember her as Witch Hazel and as Granny, and

as a few of the other voices she does. Obviously,

Jokey Smurf and Grammy Gummy and whatever else.

Actually, that's... Coming up later this year,

maybe for Christmas, we are going to have the

Disney Afternoon Spotlight here on Tooncast Beyond,

and we are going to be covering The Adventures

of the Gummy Bears. We'll have more June for

a coverage later. What were you going to say,

Neil? I was going to throw in Natasha Badenoff.

Yep, Natasha as well. Yep. Boris and Natasha,

hopefully. You know, this has nothing to do with

June, but there was another live -action Boris

and Natasha movie, I think made in the 80s or

somewhere around there. It was actually better

than the CGI Rocky and Bullwinkle. Yeah, it was

1993, had Dave Thomas as Boris. I forget the

name of the woman who did Natasha. Dave Thomas

as in the Wendy's guy? No, no, no, no. The actor

Dave Thomas who used to be on Great White North.

Was he one of the Second City actors, I think?

Yeah, he was. He was also with Brett Butler in

her show that she had for a while on ABC. I can't

from life remember what the name of it was. Courage

Under Fire? That's it, yes. I can't believe I

remember that. no grace under fire that's what

it was grace yeah grace under fire that's what

it is i was close yeah but played in there with

it and then uh actually because because of that

tune for a did make a cameo in that film she

comes up asking natasha for an autograph and

she's doing the whole natasha voice while she's

doing it it was it was like this quick thing

and i heard it i went hey, that's the lady who

is the voice of Natasha. I'm going to seek that

93 and going, that's kind of weird, but okay.

Yeah, that Rocky and Bullwinkle movie, that was

around the time where we weren't quite sure if

that CG was good or bad. It's like, is this okay?

Now we look back at it and, ugh. I can't watch

that movie. The CGI one was, it was okay. It

wasn't like, God, there are worse things out

there. It wasn't quite the incredible bulk. Or

crouching tiger, hidden Hulk. Let me just jump

from mountain to mountain. Yay. All right, folks.

June for a may she rest in peace. Doug, do you

want to say anything else? I think we're good

for right now. Go ahead, move on. Neil, how about

you? Well, I'm going to fast -track the commentary

that Mike and I did for Who Framed Roger Rabbit.

That will be up on August 1st. Just because June's

in that, and I thought, well, I might as well

throw this out here as quickly as I can. I'm

honestly surprised you hadn't put it out already

since the news of her passing. Well, I had already

had stuff in the pike, and I was like, where

can I fit this in? All right. Doug, we're going

to be able to find you online, sir. Well, once

I get Talking About My Generation launched again,

you'll be able to find me there. We will also

have you can find me at S -P -R -Z -O -U -T out

on Twitter. I know you're going to make fun of

that. Go right ahead, Mike. Neil, where can the

people find you? On Twitter. Oh, God, I made

fun of both of them. Holy crap. DCN .com is my

website. And if you want to hear the podcast

that I just mentioned, it's The Big Bad Movie

Show. You can find it on Patreon .com slash Mr.

Neil. And that's it. Awesome. Wow. I completely

forgot. I have two co -hosts that I make fun

of both of their Twitters for different reasons.

Holy crap. All right. We will catch you next

time here on ToonCast Beyond with Episode 75.

Whenever I talk. Gruffy Gummy. He's proved that

he's trustworthy. Thank you, ma 'am. My name's

Kevin, by the way. Well, what a polite young

man. Kevin, you've met Gruffy. This is Sonny

Gummy. I'm Grammy Gummy. Wait, let me guess.

You're Tummy Gummy. Right. Zummy Gummy, our keeper

of gummy wisdom. And I'm Cubby Gummy. I'm gonna

be a great knight someday. What was that stuff

I drank? Oh, gummy berry juice. We gummies have

been making it for centuries. It's what makes

us bounce. Oh, yeah, but apparently it has a

different effect on humans. Oh, dear, humans.

Kevin, there's something that we must do right

away. Please, follow me. As the Grinch took the

tree, as he started to shove, he heard a small

sound like the coo of a dove. Santy Claus, why?

Are you taking our Christmas tree? Why? And the

nasty old witch planned to fatten the little

boy and girl and throw them into the hot oven

for her supper. Why, that dirty old... So while

they was eating the gingerbread from her house,

she walked out with a big smile. and craftily

approaching the children, said, Come into my

house, children, and I'll give you candy and

ice cream and pickled herring and sweet and sour

upside -down cake and hard -boiled all -day suckers.

That's good, yeah? Yeah, it's good. the children

in school children children oh come now don't

be coy where are they at aren't you ashamed of

yourself roasting children call it a weakness

and pray what are your names my poor children

Run for your dear little lives. She is a witch

and means to eat you for her supper. I grow older.

Pretty. Boy, this trick -or -treating is a pretty

nice racket. Pity it only comes once a year.

I could finish this goop tonight if only I had

some. Goodies for a Halloween witch. Witch? I

don't remember seeing her at any of the union

meetings. But my, isn't she the ugliest little

thing? Ugly? Magic mirror on the wall. Who is

the ugliest one of all? Thou wert the ugliest

one, tis true. But that creep is uglier far.

Darling! Come in, come in, come in, come in!

I warn you, dearie, I'm going to worm all of

your ugly secrets out of you. Tell me now, who

undoes your hair? Do you like it? Like it? Why,

it's absolutely hideous! I did myself up tonight.

There's nothing... like a home permanent. Oh,

but I mustn't be such a selfish hostess. Wait

right here and I'll stir up some tea and goodies.

Make yourself homely. She may not be very pretty

now, but she was somebody's baby once. A cup

of tea, a cookie, and you. It's a special brew

of my I've seen the show. It's excellent. This

is what you booked him on? Well, every time I

called Oprah, it seemed to be lunchtime. We're

on our way, baby. We're on our way. Kids, Al

here says that he was scared out of his bedroom

window by a picture of his wife. Al says he saw...

Then what happened, Al? Well, Scary Mary, I saw

God's shoes. Tell us all about it, Al. Well,

Mary, believe it or not, people mock me for me

having seen God's shoes. They throw things, shoot

pellets at me, sick dogs at me. And don't think

I don't know some of you kids out there are the

ones responsible for it. I'll get you, I swear.

But I just persevere with my message. Uh -huh.

Well, there you have it, boys and girls. Al Bundy.

You might want to check under your beds for him

tonight. And now, back to our movie. Wait a second.

I was told I could sell my shoes on this show.

Your producers promised me. Look, buddy, what

do you want from me? I'm just a hand in a crummy

sock. Well, you'll be a sock full of bloody knuckles

if I don't get the pedal of my shoes here. I'm

on a holy mission. Hey, stagehands, stagehands,

get your shoes. They're real comfortable. See,

the socks are already built in. See, they're

great. I'll wear them myself.
