Categories
editAs much trouble as the anonymous category vandal has caused in the past, I have no problem adding Category:Fictional monsters to this page. It fits. — BrianSmithson 21:42, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
Fantasia
editI know Gossamer isn't a Disney character, but does anyone recall seeing what looks like him walking to the horizon in Fantasia? Orthografer 02:02, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
- During which segment? — Brian (talk) 02:34, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
It has to be during one of the abstract sequences - probably during Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D minor. I'll try to get the movie for a timestamp.. Orthografer 00:02, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
Weight Watchers
editAt the end of this article it states that Gossamer appeared in a Weight Watchers commercial. This is not true. The character that appears in the commercial is called a "Hungry Monster". He may look like Gossamer, but is a separate character created by Weight Watchers. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cairnben (talk • contribs) 18:15, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
Name
editWhy isn't this article titled "Rudolph (Looney Tunes)"? According to the article, the name Gossamer does not appear until the monster's third appearance. The "Later appearances" section is vague regarding the character's name. I propose either a clarifying statement ("...was named "Gossamer in all later appearances...") or changing the article's title. Brendanmccabe (talk) 13:12, 2 June 2012 (UTC)
It's quite audible that what the scientist actually calls the monster in "Water, Water Every Hare" is "Bruda" not "Rudolph". I note that in the film "Count Yorga, Vampire" - the count refers to his large barely-speaking manservant as "Bruda". I'm not sure if there is some historical meaning to this term. Google yields no insights. In any event, I also don't favor "Gossamer (Looney Tunes)" - perhaps "Bruda (Looney Tunes)"? MistySpock (talk) 02:26, 20 December 2014 (UTC)
Note, I'm going to just flat out change the "Rudolph" references in this page and others (which have absurdly been copied to other blogs etc) to "Bruda" in a week or so. MistySpock (talk) 20:47, 21 December 2014 (UTC)
It's done. Changed instances of "Rudolph" to "Bruda" on this page and the "Water, Water Every Hare" page. Question remains as to whether the title of this article should be "Bruda (Looney Tunes)" or perhaps even simply "Monster (Looney Tunes)" which is how most people will remember him. I am curious where the name "Bruda" came from and even sent a message to Leonard Maltin about this, but nothing yet." MistySpock (talk) 19:33, 2 January 2015 (UTC)
Gossamer's character's name is in fact "Rudolph". [1] PJM (talk) 19:08, 5 February 2018 (UTC)
