Animation historian Jerry Beck and Warner Archive's George Feltenstein continue our animation discussion. Together, they take listeners on a nostalgic journey back to the 1960s with the TV series "Frankenstein Jr. and the Impossibles." Jerry Beck reveals how this series captured the zeitgeist of its time and paved the way for iconic animated shows like "Josie and the Pussycats" and "The Archies." And George Feltenstein shares the painstaking efforts behind restoring these cartoons for Blu-ray.

Next, we explore the revival of Warner Bros. animation history with George Feltenstein and Jerry Beck with the 1988 film "Daffy Duck's Quackbusters." With insight into Greg Ford's pivotal role in bringing the Looney Tunes characters to a new generation, the conversation highlights Ford's shift from historian to creator. Learn about the making of memorable works like "Night of the Living Duck" and "The Duxorcist," and the impact of animation compilations like "Bugs Bunny Superstar." Celebrate the enduring legacy of these cartoons and the excitement of their Blu-ray release, featuring fan-favorites such as "Blooper Bunny" and "Invasion of the Bunny Snatchers."
