He first appeared in the series The Huckleberry Hound Show. The cartoon was one of six TV shows to win an Emmy Award in 1960[8] as an "Outstanding Achievement in the Field of Children's Programming";[9] the first animated series to receive such an award.[10]

Most of his short films consisted of Huck trying to perform jobs in different fields, ranging from policeman to dogcatcher, with results that backfired, yet usually coming out on top, either through slow persistence or sheer luck. Huck did not seem to exist in a specific time period as he has also been a Roman gladiator, a medieval knight, and a rocket scientist. He also appeared in futuristic cartoons, as an intergalactic space policeman, alongside other Hanna Barbera characters. The trademark of Huck was his tone-deaf and inaccurate rendition of "Oh My Darling, Clementine", often used as a running gag.[11]


Concept and creation


In 1953, Tex Avery created a character known as the Southern Wolf for his MGM cartoons The Three Little Pups and Billy Boy. Introduced as an antagonist to Droopy, the wolf had a southern drawl and laid-back mannerisms provided by Daws Butler. The most memorable trait of the character was that whenever something painful or unpleasant happened to him, the Wolf never lost his cool; instead, he calmly talked to the audience or kept whistling the song "Year of Jubilo". After Avery left MGM, William Hanna and Joseph Barbera produced two more shorts with the character. In two of his cartoons (Billy Boy and Blackboard Jumble) the wolf plays a role that was exactly like a usual Huckleberry Hound short, aside from his frequent use of slang, and the echo-like repetition of words he had only in Billy Boy. While Sheep Wrecked was the wolf's final appearance, Huckleberry can be considered his reincarnation.

Huck's name is a reference to the 1884 American novel Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, written by Mark Twain. Hanna and Barbera almost named Yogi Bear "Huckleberry Bear".[12]

He was voiced in the original cartoons in 1958 by Daws Butler, who had given a similar voice and characterization to the dog characters, Reddy in The Ruff and Reddy Show and Smedley in Walter Lantz's Chilly Willy shorts. The voice for Huck was actually inspired by a neighbor of Butler's wife, Myrtis Martin, in her hometown Albemarle, North Carolina. Butler would visit Myrtis and her family and would talk to the neighbor who was a veterinarian. Butler found the man's voice amusing, and would remember it when it came time to voice Huck.[13][11] The voice bore similarities to that of Andy Griffith, who likewise based his character accent on a rural North Carolina town (in Griffith's case, Mount Airy), and Hanna-Barbera was known for its characters' voices being parodies of known celebrities; Butler, who had been using the accent for about a decade before Griffith became famous, denied using Griffith as an inspiration.[12]

Huckleberry's voice was originally loud, enthusiastic and joyful, to fit his occupation of a showman. As the show progressed, it became deeper, and calmer.

[ru] Пёс Хакльберри

Пёс Хакльберри (англ. Huckleberry Hound) — герой мультфильмов Hanna-Barbera, пёс голубого цвета, говорящий с южно-американским акцентом и отличающийся спокойным, добрым и ласковым характером. Слово "huckleberry" (черника) в жаргоне означает "деревенщина". В большинстве мультфильмов с его участием показана его работа в какой-либо области, от полицейского до ловца собак, что, как правило, приводит к обратному результату, однако он всегда выходит победителем, благодаря своей настойчивости или просто по везению. Хакльберри не живёт в определённом времени, так как в нескольких сериях он был гладиатором, рыцарем и испытателем ракеты, однако ни разу не появлялся в будущем. Врагами у добродушного пса выступают: "Пьер-крепыш"-высокий мускулистый персонаж, говорящий с французским акцентом, "Маленький Дальтон"-жестокий и грубый западный разбойник, которого Хакльберри обычно ловит и индеец "Безумный Койот", которого Хакльберри всегда побеждал в соревнованиях, а также два безымянных ворона, говорящих с акцентом мафии и часто надоедающих доброму псу.
