Camera Three - The Boys From Termite Terrace Part 1

Camera Three was a Sunday morning program devoted to the arts. It ran on CBS from January 22, 1956 to  January 21, 1979, and moved to PBS in its final year to make way for the then-new CBS News Sunday Morning. The PBS version ran from October 4, 1979 to July 10, 1980.

This entry is the first in a four part series which will examine the entire hour long episode. As far as finding this video on the internet goes, it's a pretty tall task. It took me about four months to download the entire thing. That's part of the reason I'm posting it.

The episode was actually a two part show which originally aired on April 21, 1975 and April 28, 1975.
The show, hosted by animator and filmmaker, John Canemaker examines the golden years (1930 to 1964) of the Warner Brothers cartoon film department.

Mel Blanc and Chuck Jones are among those featured along with many excerpts from classic cartoons showing the changing styles of these world-famous figures. 

Next month we will look at part two in the series. If you feel the need to download the video, you can do so by installing Orbit video grabber. It's a fairly simple tool to use and can grab just about anything video from a page.
