Your account of it actually reminds me of Walt Disney's Cinderella, where the bluebirds are making Cinderella's (first) ballgown it's so frilly, with trim that looks like frosting on a wedding cake. As for your mom's particular memory, perhaps one of my readers can help (with an answer in the comments section). Question: In the old Disney cartoons, there were 'apologizing chipmunks.' What were their names?Īnswer: Walt Disney's cartoon chipmunks were Chip and Dale, also written as Chip n' Dale.
Their names were a take-off of the 18th-century cabinetmaker (Thomas Chippendale). I don't remember them being so apologetic to each other, but they were certainly very polite. They made their first appearance onscreen in 1943 but became more notable.characters in 1947. Question: What was the name of the old cartoon where the characters were hillbillies?Īnswer: There were a lot of hillbilly characters on a number of old cartoons. 'Deputy Dawg' (Terrytoons) may have something that jars your memory. 'Hillbilly Bears' was an animated short series from Hanna-Barbera included in the Atom Ant/Secret Squirrel show (1965-1967). Of course, the most famous hillbilly character was probably Li'l Abner (Al Capp/United Features Syndicate) - a syndicated comic strip found in many newspapers of decades past.
