The Magic Razz
Something that I've learnt after rewatching "The Magic Ring" - a Tom and Jerry adventure from 2002, which would soon lead onto further (mis)adventures and releases.
In this scene, Jerry "razzes" for a ridiculously long time, about 12 seconds I make it - and note that in one shot, you don't see Jerry's tongue at all!
Pointless...or amusing? You decide :P

Pink Tails and Snake Tails
When I first got into the DePatie-Freleng works some years back (when I was studying Animation in University), it was pretty interesting to know the development of this studio and some of their works - from the renown Pink Panther, The Inspector and The Ant and the Aardvark shorts to the completely obscure such as The Blue Racer, Hoot Kloot and The Dogfather.
In fact, it surprised me a bit when I discovered this unusual find after rewatching "Pink Tails for Two (1978)", which was part of a few Pink Panther cartoons made for television, which would explain in the change of theme music and animation style.
Notice the worm-like creature who falls in love with the Panther's tail - could this be the Blue Racer in a final outing since his last cartoon in 1974?
They do seem pretty similar in terms of look, size and colour, right down to the manic eyes, even!
The only slight difference is that the Blue Racer originally never had a scaly underbelly and, unlike this short, was pretty chatty compared to his unusual vow of silence throughout here.
I think the only true people who would have known the answer would either be director Art Davis or storyman Tony Benedict. For now, at least, here's the original cartoon for you to watch. Feel free to draw your own conclusions:

Musical Beasts
Just a matter of letting your imagination run wild and imagination a few familiar musical instruments as...well...something else.
