VickiMouse Posted June 15, 2015 #1 Posted June 15, 2015 I think this is a marine corps unit. Is it Disney and does anyone know which unit? Also, Disney Dave is great at helping out with Disney questions and I have enjoyed his books.
Milkshake Posted June 15, 2015 #2 Posted June 15, 2015 I believe so, looks like bugs bunny imitation. Nice patch.
disneydave Posted June 16, 2015 #3 Posted June 16, 2015 Thanks for the kind comment about my book. That is definitely Bugs.
Johnny Signor Posted June 16, 2015 #4 Posted June 16, 2015 The patch is that of USMC , SMS-62 ,(Service Squadron) and Jeff Milstiens book has it as a Disney related work .......
bobgee Posted June 16, 2015 #5 Posted June 16, 2015 To the best of my knowldge Disney Studios did not do rabbits. They were in Leo Schlesinger's domain. Corect me if I'm wrong. Bobgee
Eric Queen Posted June 16, 2015 #6 Posted June 16, 2015 To the best of my knowldge Disney Studios did not do rabbits. They were in Leo Schlesinger's domain. Corect me if I'm wrong. Bobgee I think I have seen one or two Disney designs using Thumper.
VickiMouse Posted June 16, 2015 Author #7 Posted June 16, 2015 Jeff Millsteins book has a very similar design as being done by the Disney studios acknowledging the archives.
Johnny Signor Posted June 16, 2015 #8 Posted June 16, 2015 Yeah , that's what I posted a couple of notes up from your post Vickimouse ........
Johnny Signor Posted June 16, 2015 #9 Posted June 16, 2015 Just because it's a Rabbit doesn't necessisarily make it "bugs Bunny" ....... If memory serves me , I think they(Disney) had a Rabbit early on in the early cartoons , don't recall his name , the patch reminds me of this specific "rabbit"...... I think " he was called "Oswald" ......
Thor996 Posted June 16, 2015 #10 Posted June 16, 2015 I think I have seen one or two Disney designs using Thumper. 56th Signal Bn booklet
VickiMouse Posted June 17, 2015 Author #11 Posted June 17, 2015 Just checked the book Disney Dons Dogtags and there are several disney rabbits in the book. Oswald the lucky rabbit (seen riding a bomb on a wwii insignia) was created by Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks before Mickey Mouse was created but Disney lost the rights to Universal and C. Mintz. Oswald was lucky because approximately 80 years later in 2006 he was traded back to Disney in exchange for sportscaster Al Michaels. I think one of the Disney rabbits seen in Disney wwii designs is Max the Hare from Silly Symphonies. Max sometimes looks a little like Bugs which is why I asked if my patch was bugs or Disney. Thanks everyone for your comments and any corrections to my comments are always welcome as I am here to learn.
bobgee Posted June 17, 2015 #12 Posted June 17, 2015 " Eh, What's up, Doc?" So Disney did do bunnies. In the case of VMF-217, the squadron requested a fighting rabbit insignia from Disney. They produced a fighting bulldog which the squadron cdr rejected. They went to Schlesinger and got their Bugs Bunny insignia. Bobgee ......."
Johnny Signor Posted June 17, 2015 #13 Posted June 17, 2015 Max the Hare was the one I was thinking of that I believe the Marine patch was styled after ........
doyler Posted June 17, 2015 #14 Posted June 17, 2015 Wasnt Bugs named Happy Rabbit in his early days?
VickiMouse Posted June 18, 2015 Author #15 Posted June 18, 2015 Here's a simar design on a matchbook- it says Walt Disney Productions in small print.
Johnny Signor Posted June 23, 2015 #16 Posted June 23, 2015 Some one PM me their e mail and I'll send the an original color art of FASRON-110 , my image too big to load direct to the forum ........
R. Watkins Posted June 23, 2015 #17 Posted June 23, 2015 Some one PM me their e mail and I'll send the an original color art of FASRON-110 , my image too big to load direct to the forum ........ You can send the image to me Johnny and I'll format it down for USMF posting. Bob
Johnny Signor Posted June 23, 2015 #18 Posted June 23, 2015 O.K. Bob will send shortly , thanks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
R. Watkins Posted June 24, 2015 #19 Posted June 24, 2015 Here's a greatly reduced copy of Johnny's FASRON 110 emblem file copy. After seeing this image, I doubt very much if Hank Porter had much to do with this one, unless this was just someones copy of Disney's original art work.
phantomfixer Posted June 25, 2015 #20 Posted June 25, 2015 the evolution of Bugs....Patch looks like the 1940 version of bugs bunny
5thwingmarty Posted June 25, 2015 #21 Posted June 25, 2015 Looking up images of Max the Hare and Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, you will see Max was a dark brown to reddish brown color and was always wearing a sweater or a coat. Oswald was black and white and really looked like Mickey Mouse only with skinnier ears.
R. Watkins Posted June 25, 2015 #22 Posted June 25, 2015 Johnny Signor thought some of you might find this design of interest and asked me to post this great looking WWII Disney Studios done for VT 7.
Johnny Signor Posted June 26, 2015 #23 Posted June 26, 2015 Thanks Bob, that's "Max Hare" one of Disney's creations , enjoy !!!!!
disneydave Posted June 26, 2015 #24 Posted June 26, 2015 Rabbits, ducks, bulldogs...what's next? Mice? LOL
R. Watkins Posted June 26, 2015 #25 Posted June 26, 2015 Rabbits, ducks, bulldogs...what's next? Mice? LOL You might just have something there Dave.
