The Looney Tunes Cartoon TV Series

Looney Tunes Golden Collection DVD

Way back 1930, Warner Bros. started developing a series of musical animated shorts to promote their music - Merry Melodies and Looney Tunes were born. The two series storylines were based from Warner's vast music library, in 1934 Merrie Melodies produced in color while Looney Tunes (sometimes misspelled 'Looney Toons') in black & white and produced in color on 1943. Looney Tunes become the umbrella for WB's various recurring characters, the success in many medium specially in television, successfully become children favorites to grow up with.

Some Looney Tunes character appearance histories: long cartoon favorite Bugs Bunny (to the talent voice of Mel Blanc) first appeared in 1940 in Looney Tunes Porky Pig film “Porky's Hare Hunt”, Porky with his dog, 'Zero', hunting a rabbit who can pull himself out of a hat, fly with his ears, bounce on his head and like a bug that put Porky in the hospital, that's why he was called 'Bugs Bunny'. The most infamous short cartoon 'A Wild Hare' in 1940, featured a matured Bugs Bunny who did not fear danger from hunters, he simply sat beside next to Porky and calmly asked, "Eh, What's Up Doc?”, the producers then demanded more film from the rabbit. Porky Pig character began in 1935 “I Haven't Got A Hat” of Merrie Melodies, as a humorously stammering character loosely based on the 'Our Gang' live action shorts and his popular trademark voice in closing titles "Th-th-That's all, Folks!" WB's second hit star was Daffy Duck, an insaned counterpart to mild-mannered Porky Pig, he was first featured in 1937's short "Porky's Duck Hunt", bouncing around with his head and the yelling trademark “Woo hoo! Woo hoo!”. The cute & lovable but brutal yellow canary, 'Tweety Pie' appeared in "A Tale of Two Kitties" in 1942 while the lisping alleycat Sylvester Cat as WB's most versatile character appeared on 1945's “Life with Feathers”, Tweety and Sylvester paired in 1947's 'Tweetie Pie', the short where WB cartoon won it's first Oscar. The small but dangerous loud speaking cowboy 'Yosemite Sam' appeared on 1945's “Hare Trigger”, a loud, cranky and stubborn outlaw cowboy against Bugs Bunny.

In 1949 in the short “Fast and Furry-ous”, debuted the smiling gray-purple bird with incredible speed 'Road Runner' with trademark sound 'Beep Beep', as well as featuring the eternal loser “Wile E. Coyote” who despite of genius plans and tricks, he always failed to catch his prey, Road Runner and ending up blown up, flattened, mangled or dropped from dizzying heights.
