- Wild Wild World
Wild Wild World is a Warner Bros. cartoon released in the
Merrie Melodies series in 1960 and directed byRobert McKimson . It's a parody of the television seriesWide Wide World hosted byDave Garroway . In this cartoon, "Cave Darroway" presents a recently discovered film taken during theCro-Magnon era. Thestone age gags in the "film" predate and possibly inspiredThe Flintstones which made its debut in 1960. The final gag in this cartoon depicts a modernelevator utilizing the primitive operational methods of the stone age elevator shown in the "film." This cartoon is considered to be one of McKimson's weaker cartoons. Because of the long lead time in producing an animated cartoon, the TV program which inspired this cartoon had already been canceled when this cartoon was released.External links
