Any significance -- beyond simply being funny -- to the fact that none of the Dover Boys has his hands on his bike's handlebars? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 162.249.207.195 ( talk) 18:34, 14 September 2016 (UTC)

There is an obvious anachronism about the voice actors portraying Tom, Dick and Larry, due to the work appearing before these actors were born. By auto-rolling back without fixing this inaccuracy, the user doing the rolling back is promoting inaccuracies and will be reported for vandalism.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.52.153.5 ( talk) 16:14, 4 August 2019 (UTC)
HOW IS POINTING OUT THAT SOMEONE DID NOT LIVE WHEN THE ARTICLE SAYS HE DID IRRELEVANT?!?! Just saying something without explaining why is elitist and violates the purpose of Wikipedia and its community.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.52.153.5 ( talk) 16:29, 4 August 2019 (UTC)
If you are an editor, edit. Reverting blindly or without a reason does not help. Just saying “Irrelevant information” is childish. Saying how it is irrelevant is doing your job.
Again, per Wikipedia: “Not all edits by new or unregistered contributors are vandalism. Check out the content added or removed before reverting blindly, and remember not to bite the newcomers.”—Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.8.218.205 ( talk) 21:21, 4 August 2019 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: moved. I'm seeing two people preferring "The Dover Boys at Pimento University", with all participants being okay with a move in general and the proposer okay with a compromise. ( closed by non-admin page mover) Sennecaster ( Chat) 05:11, 11 June 2023 (UTC)
The Dover Boys at Pimento University; or, The Rivals of Roquefort Hall → The Dover Boys – WP:COMMONNAME, most results show this shortened name instead of its lengthy full name. Unnamed anon ( talk) 09:39, 27 May 2023 (UTC) — Relisting. – Material Works 10:49, 3 June 2023 (UTC)

The Dover Boys at Pimento University is a 1942 Merrie Melodies cartoon directed by Chuck Jones and distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures. A parody of the Rover Boys, a popular juvenile fiction book series of the early 20th century, it was 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. Michael Barrier, an animation historian, wrote: "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." The Dover Boys was voted by animation professionals as number 49 in The 50 Greatest Cartoons, published in 1994. It was released on September 19, 1942, and has a running time of 8 minutes, 56 seconds. Film credit: Chuck Jones
