Shaping Thought: Looney Tunes and the evolution of Wackyland: Porky in Wackyland (1938), Dough for the Do-Do (1949), Tiny Toon Adventures (1990)

I was watching a Looney Tunes video with my daughter a number of years ago and there was a cartoon called "Dough for the Do-Do" which was a remake of 1938 cartoon "Porky in Wackyland". I'll give a full analysis of it but I will give a very brief synopsis here... Porky Pig hunts a dodo, who/which is crazy, which is set out from the start when the dodo moors its boat and throws the anchor out, destroying it. In the 1949 colour remake, there were a lot of eyes in the background. The brilliant thing is, Wikipedia's article outlines all the differences between the first and second version, but somehow sidesteps the fact that there's a load of eyes in it, that weren't there before. It dresses itself up as being inspired by the pictures of Dali, especially The Persistence of Memory, but Dali's pictures were never full of eyes - however, Dali collaborated with Alfred Hitchcock to design the dream sequence in the film Spellbound (1945), which is full of eyes (this dream sequence also serves the same purpose - to associate the illuminati/satan's symbolism with the crazy and bizarre, as well as to leave their stamp on their productions - I talk about it here). This is an example of the Overton Window in action, where the media is used to promote an idea in a way that the majority aren't even aware happens.

In fact, when I go over to watch films and TV shows from my youth, I notice a lot of symbolism now that I didn't before, and agendas being pushed. So this is just basic subliminal programming designed to make people shut down completely and think people are crazy when they start to talk to them about basic things like the eye in the pyramid, which is the symbol of lucifer the so-called "light bringer", AKA the devil, the current ruler of this world that the Illuminati love so much. Although his illumination is false compared to the true light of Christ (and I know that when we ascend to the next level of consciousness and return to the way things were before the fall of man, this will become apparent very quickly! Something I also need to get around to writing about eventually): 

The eye in the pyramid hidden in plain sight on the dollar bill, just to show the "classic" design:

It may say "IN GOD WE TRUST" but their God sure isn't mine.

And on the Illuminati's official website (please don't believe the lies if you click)... note how they made the A a little pyramid, too...:

And why not the classic Eye of Horus in the pyramid? Here it is from the website of a chapter of occult organisation, the A.A.:

Iron Maiden are a band who've embraced Egyptian symbolism, as it is satanic symbolism. A shill on the VC forums once told me that Egypt couldn't have been satanic because it was pantheistic, not monotheistic, but I just see it as Amen-Ra: the devil, all the other gods: demons. Anyway, no surprise to see such a symbol on the bass player's shirt:

And on the drummer's kit:

Anyway, the whole point of this article was to talk about the symbolism in Wackyland. So, the idea is to get people to first associate Wackyland and Gogo Dodo with the crazy, bizarre and absurd. Ten years later, incorporate a load of eyes into the mix, so people associate eyes with the crazy, bizarre and absurd. Finally, years later, update Wackyland to include the eye in the pyramid... you get the point.

Anyway, the reason why these Porky Pig/Gogo Dodo cartoons resonated with me was because I used to watch Tiny Toon Adventures when I was about 11 years old, and I always liked the character of Gogo Dodo. The title song says "And Gogo is insane!" just as he hits himself over the head with a mallet in the title sequence... but as Gogo Dodo moves around his landscape, you can see the first few frames disappear into the right hand side... there's an eye in a pyramid disappearing off the side... blink and you'll miss it but it's there.... subliminal programming built up over longer than most of us have lived... what's stopping them distorting the natural order of things through some media or other for millenia?

Anyway, this video is a side-by-side comparison of Dough for the Do-Do and Porky in Wackyland:

Here's some screenshots that I took. First of all, the title card incorporates an eye, so the symbolism is there right from the start (you tend to get the shot of one eye in the first scene in a lot of films, too... to just name a few off the top of my head: A Better Tomorrow, Goodfellas, Nobody (2021) - usually violent/horror films):

The fact that the first thing Gogo Dodo does is sink his boat firmly plants the idea that Gogo Dodo = crazy:

Part of a background that loops when Gogo Dodo is running away from Porky Pig:

So, as we've seen, we've got the idea that "Wackyland and Gogo Dodo = crazy" embedded into people's minds from 1938 onwards, then it adds eyes 11 years later, so the connection is there so people think "people talking about one eye = crazy, because one eye = crazy". As shown above, the eye in the pyramid was added into the Wackyland mix in Tiny Toon Adventures (1990). Here's some stills from a short called Babs Goes to Wackyland:

She hides one eye before the big reveal of Gogo Dodo:

And there's an eye in the pyramid in the background now:

And there's another Tiny Toons Adventure episode called Her Wacky Highness, in which Babs ventures to Wackyland again. There's other noteworthy stuff in this but I'll concentrate on Wackyland. Here are some stills...

A man entices you to Wackyland, note the eyes in the background, albeit pairs...

The announcer is revealed to actually be Gogo Dodo:

As Babs descends into Wackyland, there's an eye in the pyramid in the first shot:

And also when a gigantic mouth is screaming at her. To associate people talking about the truth with pure insanity, maybe? Yeah, I'd say so:

Here is a link to analysis of Metropolis (1927), the above research is my own but here are the major themes which are still pushed these days, in their more embryonic stages cinema-wise, even before these cartoons!
