Cartoons in movie backgrounds and Commercials!

I recall "Chow Hound" being watched by the little boy in "Cats and Dogs."

In the first live action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie-- Donatello and Michael Angelo are watching the Aesop and Son(from Rocky and Bullwinkle) fable "The Tortoise and the Hare" in which the turtle is a slow but loyal delivery boy and the hare loves food. "Go! Move it, will ya? Aw, you're letting him blow right by ya! Can you believe this guy? Come on! Don't just...! Ninja-kick the damn rabbit! Do something!"

Wow, I remember this post/topic, thanks for digging it up Dave. We had quite a list in the old forum? Let's see if we can dig it up, and add to it?

The Island (or remake of Logun's Run) - I think it's Tex Avery's Doggone Tired?
Gremlins - in the Theater the gremlin's are watching Snow White
JFK - Drip Along Daffy

In Who Framed Roger Rabbit while Roger and Eddie are in the movie theater, Goofy Gymnastics is being played on the screen.

In "Merlin's Shop of Mystical Wonders" during the second story of the film-- which is actually a reedited version of "The Devil's Gift" an earlier film made by the same director, the young boy who receives the deadly cymbal clashing monkey is seen watching Ib Irwek's ComiColor Cartoon "Balloon Land." I like the MST3K version which includes remarks upon seeing the short cartoon. When the opening is seen "Brought to you by LSD." Also when the Pincushion Man first appears "Okay, now we're in Hell. Finally happened."

The cartoon Farmer Charley is on the TV during the Nationwide Insurance commercial, "Halfway."

Twelve Monkey's - cartoon in the background? "Frankie..."


Okay, it's Little Tinker!

In Surviving Christmas, the main character watches "Mr Magoo's Christmas Carol" on TV.

“The Comic” is a 1969 comedy film co-written, co-produced and directed by Carl Reiner. It stars Dick Van Dyke as Billy Bright – the original title of the film – and Michele Lee as Bright's love interest, Reiner himself and Mickey Rooney as Bright's friend and work colleagues. Reiner wrote the screenplay with Aaron Rueben, which was inspired by the end of silent film era, and in part, by the life of silent film superstar Buster Keaton.

After Billy Bright's film career is all washed up he is living in a crummy litttle apartment counting down his final days. He wakes at 4:30am in the morning and sits down to watch tv. He watches the end of an unidentified Columbia Scrappy cartoon when suddenly one of his old Billy Bright comidie, "Forget-Me-Not", comes on as the movie ends.

Home Alone, Kevin is asleep but the Grinch is on in the background.

The Grinch was also shown in Home Alone: Lost in NY when Kevin was in a limo.
