Wiki.
The Dover Boys at Pimento University; or, The Rivals of Roquefort Hall (also known as The Dover Boys) is a 1942 Warner Bros. Merrie Melodies cartoon directed by Chuck Jones. The short was released on September 10, 1942. The cartoon is a parody of the Rover Boys, a popular juvenile fiction book series of the early 20th century.
It is one of the first cartoons to make extensive use of limited animation, as well as other techniques that would only be more broadly popularized in the 1950s. Animation historian Michael Barrier writes: "Is The Dover Boys the first 'modern' cartoon? …Chuck Jones stylized the animation in this cartoon in a way that anticipated what several consciously modern studios like UPA would be doing a decade later."
In 1994, the cartoon was voted No. 49 of The 50 Greatest Cartoons of all time by of the animation field.
