Looney TV: Hollywood Steps Out (1941-2)

This Merrie Melodies entry, "Hollywood Steps Out", does its share of tweaking the show business elite. The original title card was lost from this print, and that explains the remastered, relatively generic version created two years ago.

Edit, 9/14/23: Had to change to a Blue Ribbon reissue print:

Rating: A.

People are too thin-skinned for caricature I find.

The caricatures used in this were from Ben Shenkman, who also provided caricatures for another WB cartoon "Malibu Beach Party"...

I think we're going to be seeing Malibu Beach Party real soon, assuming, of course, I can find it online.
