One Off the Shelf
Last chapter in our Book Report Week — Frank Tashlin’s “Have You Got Any Castles”, one of those great ‘inanimate-things-come-to-life-late-at-night’ Warner Brothers cartoons. In this case, appropriately enough, it’s books in a library, and, baby, we’re talkin’ puns bigtime. Cringe inducing, groan inspiring, eye roll encouraging puns. Lots of ‘em. I fully expect the air to reverberate with the sound of foreheads flattened by the palms of ReFrederator regulars going “Bulldog Drummin’? Cheesh!”
Pretty funny stuff if you can catch all the reference points — lots of great music too. But since this cartoon is crammed to its sprocket holes with improper ethnic caricatures, it has traditionally shown up in heavily edited versions of any number of lengths. We’re presenting it today in all of it’s politically incorrect splendor (fair warning!)
If you yam, in fact, what you yam, you may well enjoy next week’s ReFrederator theme — five days of Purely Popeye. Grab a can of uncooked, clearly labeled spinach and join us Monday.

Have You Any Castles is one of my favorite Warner cartoons, ever.
But…how come ReFrederator doesn’t sync and update into
my iTunes podcasts lists anymore? Last update I got was 1/7/07. I’ve got it checked to make certain I’m subscribed and it hasn’t dropepd off due to non-watching…what’s the deal?
