==Follow-ups and derivative works== [[File:Wackyland-bw-color.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Near-identical moments from ''Porky in Wackyland'' and its color remake, ''Dough for the Do-Do''.]] Much of the Wackyland sequence was adapted and reused by Clampett for inclusion in his 1943 short ''[[Tin Pan Alley Cats]]''. A color remake of ''Porky in Wackyland'' was supervised by [[Friz Freleng]] in 1948. Re-titled as ''[[Dough for the Do-Do]]'', the remake was released in 1949. The films were nearly identical, in many cases appearing to match frame-by-frame in certain details, albeit with Porky's appearance updated (by redoing most of the animation of the character), the voices having evolved (with less use of speeding-up) and the backgrounds being changed to a surreal, Daliesque landscape. ''Dough for the Do-Do'' was produced in [[Technicolor]], but was originally released in [[Cinecolor]] due to a dispute with the Technicolor corporation. Later reissues were printed by Technicolor. There were at least two [[Terrytoons]] plagiarizations of ''Porky in Wackyland'' in the 1940s or 1950s.{{Citation needed|date=June 2023}} ''[[Dingbat Land]]'' (1949)<ref>{{cite web|url=http://classiccartoons.blogspot.com/2006/04/rare-and-unknown-dingbat-land.html|title=Classic Cartoons|work=classiccartoons.blogspot.com}}</ref> starred [[Gandy Goose]] and Sourpuss. The role of the Do-Do was taken by a minor Terrytoons character, Dingbat.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.animationarchive.org/pics/terrylc08-big.jpg |title=Archived copy |accessdate=2006-08-19 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20070311194421/http://www.animationarchive.org/pics/terrylc08-big.jpg |archivedate=2007-03-11}}</ref> [[Tex Avery]], for whom Clampett worked as an animator in the mid-1930s, borrowed strongly from this cartoon for his 1948 MGM cartoons ''Half-Pint Pygmy'' (in which the characters, [[George and Junior]], travel to Africa in search of the world's smallest pygmy, only to discover that he has an uncle who's even smaller) and ''[[The Cat That Hated People]]'' (where the cat travels to the moon and encounters an array of characters similar to those in Clampett's Wackyland, e.g., a pair of gloves and lips that keep saying "Mammy, mammy", just like the Al Jolson duck in ''Porky in Wackyland''). Clampett would again use the Three Stooges parody when a later creation of his, [[Beany and Cecil]], faced the "Dreaded Three-Headed Threep". According to writer [[Paul Dini]], the Do-Do Bird is the father of [[Gogo Dodo]], a character on the 1990s animated TV series ''[[Tiny Toon Adventures]]'', and a second Wackyland is drawn into Acme Acres by Babs and Buster Bunny.{{citation needed|date=February 2021}} A small clip from the film was used in a [[Slappy Squirrel]] segment on another Warners animated TV series of the 1990s, ''[[Animaniacs]]''. The segment, titled "Critical Condition", featured ''Porky in Wackyland'' as part of a fake [[LaserDisc]] release. The Do-Do Bird has made occasional guest spots in the [[DC Comics]] ''Looney Tunes'' comic book, being colored in [[grayscale]] as opposed to the rest of the art being in color. The character makes an appearance in the [[Wii]] game ''[[Looney Tunes: Acme Arsenal]]'' as an unplayable character. He is given a first name, Yoyo Dodo. Yoyo can also be seen at Maroon Cartoon Studios as a brief cameo in the beginning of the 1988 film ''[[Who Framed Roger Rabbit]]''. Yoyo also made a cameo in the 2020 ''[[Looney Tunes Cartoons]]'' short "Happy Birthday, Bugs Bunny!" and plays a large role in the [[stop motion]] episode "Daffy in Wackyland".
