George and Junior was a short-lived cartoon series by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer in the 1940s directed by Tex Avery. The shorts followed the misadventures of two bears based on George and Lennie from John Steinbeck's ''Of Mice and Men'':〔"(George and Junior )". ''www.bcdb.com'', February 2, 2012〕 George, the short, short-tempered intelligent one (voiced by Frank Graham) and Junior, the tall, dim-witted one (voiced by Avery himself). The characters' looks and voices were altered for their fourth appearance. Later they were brought back to life by Pat Ventura on the Hanna-Barbera anthology franchise ''What-A-Cartoon!'' in the 1990s voiced by John Rubinow and Tony Pope. George would usually come up with a plan to fix their current situation, Junior would accidentally mess it up somehow resulting with an angry George saying "Bend over, Junior", and, when Junior does so, George delivers a hard kick to his rear end. A grey-purple version of George made a cameo appearance in a headshot during the final scene of ''Who Framed Roger Rabbit ''(the octopus from ''Half-Pint Pygmy'' also made a cameo as the bartender at The Ink and Paint Club). ==Cartoons== * ''Henpecked Hoboes'' (1946) * ''Hound Hunters'' (1947) * ''Red Hot Rangers'' (1947) * ''Half-Pint Pygmy'' (1948) - banned from television due to racial stereotypes * ''Lucky Ducky'' (1948) - was ultimately produced with two dog characters〔Adamson, Joe, ''Tex Avery: King of Cartoons'', 1975, De Capo Press〕 * ''Look Out Below'' (1995) * ''George and Junior's Christmas Spectacular'' (1995) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「George and Junior」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
