Cartoony reviews the night watchman 1938
The Night Watchman is a Merrie Melodies cartoon released to theaters on November 19, 1938. This short was the very first film directed by Chuck Jones after he was promoted from an animator (where he was under Fred Avery and Robert Clampett's units). This is the first cartoon to use the green-yellow color scheme for the Merrie Melodies rings and a red WB shield since Toy Town Hall.
