Curiosità

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.
