Hold That Lion! - Recycling Template

Recycling Template

Hold That Lion! would be the template for recycled films post-1953. Three films in a row utilized footage from this short:

  • First, Booty and the Beast recycled the second half of Hold That Lion!.
  • Next, Loose Loot recycled the first half.
  • Finally, Tricky Dicks recycled the only segment from Hold That Lion! not previously used: the filing cabinet sequence.

Due to this successful practice, director Jules White would begin recycling entire shorts as a cost-saving tactic for the remainder of the Stooges' tenure in Columbia Pictures' shorts department.

Famous quotes containing the word recycling:

    Both the Moral Majority, who are recycling medieval language to explain AIDS, and those ultra-leftists who attribute AIDS to some sort of conspiracy, have a clearly political analysis of the epidemic. But even if one attributes its cause to a microorganism rather than the wrath of God, or the workings of the CIA, it is clear that the way in which AIDS has been perceived, conceptualized, imagined, researched and financed makes this the most political of diseases.
    Dennis Altman (b. 1943)
