See Ya Later Gladiator	comment	"See Ya Later Gladiator" is a 1968 Looney Tunes animated short film starring Daffy Duck and Speedy Gonzales, who had been paired together in a series of cartoons from 1965 to 1968. This was their final theatrical pairing, as well as the final cartoon to star "classic" Warner Bros. characters. After this short, until the cartoon division closed in 1969, new characters like Cool Cat, Bunny and Claude, Merlin the Magic Mouse, and a few one-shot cartoons made up all of WB's output.The plot concerns Daffy and Speedy accidentally being sent back in time via a time machine to Rome, 65 A.D., where Emperor Nero plans to feed them to the lions as entertainment in a gladiator arena. Daffy and Speedy work together to thwart the lions and manage to make it back to the present. However, Nero has accidentally returned with them, and joins Speedy's band by playing his fiddle.Not to be confused with the Time Warp Trio book of the same name.

See Ya Later Gladiator / int_1bc2e445	comment	End of an Age: The final original Looney Tunes cartoon to use any of the Golden Age characters. They would remain retired until Warner Bros started making revival featurettes from the 70s onward.

See Ya Later Gladiator / int_28c40e81	comment	Trapped in the Past: Daffy and Speedy can't get back to the 20th century on their own, as the time machine the professor has invented does not have such a feature. Lucky for Daffy and Speedy, the professor sees what was happening on the time machine's monitor and returns them to the present.

See Ya Later Gladiator / int_43d612b7	comment	Disney Acid Sequence: Very brief, but when Daffy accidentally starts the time machine and transports him and Speedy to 65 A.D., weird shapes flash on a back background for a few seconds accompanied by discordant ringing sounds before cumulating in an explosion. It happens again when Daffy and Speedy are returned to the present.

See Ya Later Gladiator / int_47b6a1e5	comment	"Just Joking" Justification: A rare example in which someone buys the justification. After throwing a broom in Speedy's trumpet (which he was playing at the time) and then angrily telling him plus his band to duck off, Daffy later lies to him that he was only joking. Also, Speedy believes it. Granted, Daffy was only claiming this as part of a scheme.

Daffy and Speedy get vaulted into Nero and break his fiddle. Nero vows to make them pay by breaking their necks.

See Ya Later Gladiator / int_6a4f3cf7	comment	Took a Level in Dumbass: Speedy had almost invariably been shown as the smart one in his previous interactions with Daffy, but his common sense deserts him when Daffy nearly manages to smooth-talk his way out of trouble with the centurion by claiming that Speedy's name is "fathead". Instead of playing along, Speedy ruins the ploy by making it clear that Daffy was insulting the centurion, getting them both sent to the coliseum.

See Ya Later Gladiator / int_8cb1a369	comment	Took a Level in Jerkass: Whereas the previous two Daffy/Speedy cartoons had tried to pare back Daffy's jerkass qualities — in "Fiesta Fiasco" he only went after Speedy due to a misunderstanding and made up with him at the end of the short, while in "Skyscraper Caper" Daffy wasn't antagonistic at all — this cartoon turns them back up to eleven, making Daffy seem excessively bad-tempered and vindictive even compared to the prior shorts in this series.

See Ya Later Gladiator / int_b24ce4b2	comment	Rearrange the Song: Bill Lava's strange atonal version of "The Merry-Go-Round Broke Down" theme music gets an even stranger variation used in this cartoon, notably with brass horns and a piano accompany the "swirling lines" effects. It also got used on the next cartoon, Cool Cat's 3 Ring Wing Ding, before reverting back to the standard Seven Arts-era version of the opening theme.note Though a later Merlin the Magic Mouse cartoon in 1969, "Fistic Mystic", would have a newly arranged one-time theme as well.
