Welcome to my Blog devoted to Fleischer and Famous Studios. The Fleischer cartoons are from the Paramount era only. No Jam Handy, Out of the Inkwell Productions, or Alfed Weiss' fake Paramount relases. To kick off, we invite Gabby (of GULLIVER'S TRAVELS fame), fighting fire along with a semi-classical piece used in fire scences. The color is much better, maybe it was a Paramount orginal that looks like an NTA print, but I could be wrong because the logo got cut out. I love that piece, though I don't beleive in favorite songs.

Wow! Youre first comment and it's from Jerry Beck.
Well, here's the second - welcome to the blogosphere. I'll be back...
Great idea, I'm going to put a link to it on my blog. Keep the posts coming.
The music you refer to in THE FIRE CHEESE is an excerpt from THE MERRY WIDOW by Johann Strause.
Someone apparently tampered with the already-altered NTA titles, because the black bar transition from the "Gabby card" to the "Fire Cheese" card is marked with a computer-accomplished pan-and-scan (The aspect ratio adjusts from being widescreen to fullscreen like on a P&S film).
The black bars on the Gabby card themselves are also much cleaner than those of REAL NTA prints. IIRC, You could see part of the top of the words "In Technicolor" on the unretampered NTA print of Fire Cheese due to sloppy application of the lower black bar.
