Mise en boîte (1955)

Cellbound

Condamné à perpétuité, Spike creuse inlassablement un tunnel pour s'évader de la prison de Sing Song. Vingt and plus tard, en 1954, après 6 500 000 000 385 000 632 cuillerées de terre, il réussit à atteindre – enfin – l'air libre et, déguisé en femme, il se cache dans un poste de télévision qui est offert… au directeur de la prison.

Anecdotes

Cellbound is a 1955 MGM Cartoon featuring Spike and directed by Tex Avery and Michael Lah. The story was by Heck Allen, and Paul Frees voiced all the characters. Its title is a pun on "spellbound."

Background

This cartoon was the last cartoon directed by Tex Avery for MGM, before he left to return to Walter Lantz Productions in 1953, where his career in animation began. Due to his animation unit being disbanded by MGM that same year, Avery and co-director Michael Lah had to utilize the Hanna-Barbera unit for its animation, alongside the 1955 Droopy cartoon Deputy Droopy.

It was also the last 1950s MGM cartoon that was not filmed in CinemaScope. This cartoon and Good Will to Men were the last two to be produced by Fred Quimby before his retirement.
