Two very funny Tex Avery cartoons from Derann, each released as a 200ft colour sound. I bought these way back when they selling on used lists for around £8 - £15.
Doggone Tired is a 1949 cartoon short directed by Tex Avery. It tells the story of a dog being harassed by a rabbit while trying to sleep the night before a hunting,

Daws Butler as Hunter

While very good image and sound, the colour on this one is fine but not as good as usual. With a couple of weird see through bars on the image, (shown here), i think this may possibly have been a lab fault so therefore, a white box special. Still great fun.
Bad Luck Blackie is one of my favourites. The quality is A1 on all accounts.
Bad Luck Blackie is a 1949 American animated comedy short film produced by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.
The Tex Avery-directed short was voted the 15th-best cartoon of all-time in a 1994 poll of 1,000 animation industry professionals, as referenced in the book The 50 Greatest Cartoons.
The title is a play on Boston Blackie, a popular radio show at the time. The cartoon marks the first appearance of Tex Avery's version of Spike the Bulldog (later renamed as Butch the Irish Dog as of 2001), who would later appear in Droopy cartoons in the late-1940s into the 1950s
