Task: Question Answering
Input (English): Context_1 : Daffy Duck is an animated cartoon character produced by Warner Bros. Styled as an anthropomorphic black duck, the character has appeared in cartoon series such as "Looney Tunes" and "Merrie Melodies", where he usually has been depicted as the best friend and occasional arch-rival of Bugs Bunny. Daffy was one of the first of the new "screwball" characters that emerged in the late 1930s to replace traditional everyman characters who were more popular earlier in the decade, such as Mickey Mouse and Popeye. Daffy starred in 130 shorts in the golden age, making him the third-most frequent character in the "Looney Tunes"/"Merrie Melodies" cartoons, behind Bugs Bunny's 180 appearances and Porky Pig's 162 appearances. Context_2 : The Looney Looney Looney Bugs Bunny Movie (credited onscreen as Friz Freleng's Looney Looney Looney Bugs Bunny Movie) is a 1981 American animated package film with a compilation of classic "Looney Tunes"/"Merrie Melodies" Warner Bros. cartoon shorts and animated bridging sequences produced by Friz Freleng, hosted by Bugs Bunny. The new footage was produced by Warner Bros. Animation and the first "Looney Tunes"/"Merrie Melodies" film with a compilation of classic shorts to be produced by Warner Bros. Animation. Context_3 : Looney Tunes is an American animated series of comedy short films produced by Warner Bros. from 1930 to 1969 during the golden age of American animation, alongside its sister series "Merrie Melodies". It was known for introducing such famous cartoon characters as Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, Elmer Fudd, Tweety, Sylvester, Yosemite Sam, Foghorn Leghorn, Marvin the Martian, Pepé Le Pew, Speedy Gonzales, Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner, the Tasmanian Devil, and many others. These characters themselves are commonly referred to as "the Looney Tunes". Context_4 : Flippity and Flop were a pair of short lived cartoon characters, an anthropomorphic cat and canary duo. They appeared in theatrical shorts from 1945 to 1947 by for Columbia Pictures. The antics of Flop, the cat and Flippity the canary, were similar to that of Tweety and Sylvester of Warner Bros. However unlike Tweety, Flippity had to rely on Sam the household Dog to protect him from Flop. Flippity and Flop only appeared in four cartoons before Screen Gems was replaced by United Productions of America in 1947. Their popularity never reached that of Columbia's biggest cartoon stars, The Fox and the Crow. Flippity and Flop lived on only in comic books published by DC Comics until 1962. Context_5 : Tweety (short for Tweety Pie) is an animated fictional yellow canary in the Warner Bros. "Looney Tunes" and "Merrie Melodies" series of animated cartoons. The name "Tweety" is a play on words, as it originally meant "sweetie", along with "tweet" being a typical English onomatopoeia for the sounds of birds. His characteristics are based on Red Skelton's famous "Mean Widdle Kid." Tweety appeared in 47 cartoons during the golden age. Context_6 : Melvin Jerome "Mel" Blanc (May 30, 1908 – July 10, 1989) was an American voice actor, actor, radio comedian, and recording artist. He began his 60-plus-year career performing in radio, but is best remembered for his work in animation as the voices of Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, Tweety Bird, Sylvester the Cat, Yosemite Sam, Foghorn Leghorn, Marvin the Martian, Pepé Le Pew, Speedy Gonzales, Wile E. Coyote, Road Runner, the Tasmanian Devil, and many of the other characters from the "Looney Tunes" and "Merrie Melodies" theatrical cartoons during the golden age of American animation. He was, in fact, the voice for all of the major male Warner Bros. cartoon characters except for Elmer Fudd, whose voice was provided (uncredited) by fellow radio actor Arthur Q. Bryan, although Blanc later voiced Fudd as well after Bryan's death. Context_7 : Sylvester J. Pussycat Sr., usually called Sylvester, is a fictional character, a three-time Academy Award-winning anthropomorphic, 40, 50, or 60-Inch tall Tuxedo cat in the "Looney Tunes" and "Merrie Melodies" series of cartoons. Most of his appearances have him often chasing Tweety Bird, Speedy Gonzales, or Hippety Hopper. The name "Sylvester" is a play on "Felis silvestris", the scientific name for the wild cat species (domestic cats like Sylvester, though, are actually "Felis catus"). The character debuted in Friz Freleng's "Life With Feathers" (1945), but Freleng's 1947 cartoon "Tweetie Pie" was the first pairing of Tweety with Sylvester, and the Bob Clampett-directed "Kitty Kornered" (1946) was Sylvester's first pairing with Porky Pig. Sylvester was not named until Chuck Jones gave him the name Sylvester, which was first used in Scaredy Cat. Sylvester appeared in 103 cartoons in the golden age, appearing in the fourth most films out of all the Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies characters, only behind Bugs Bunny, Porky Pig, and Daffy Duck respectively. Three of his cartoons won Academy Awards, the most for any starring Looney Tunes character: they are "Tweetie Pie", "Speedy Gonzales", and "Birds Anonymous". Context_8 : Warner Bros. Animation (currently known alternatively as Warner Animation Group for theatrically released films) is the animation division of Warner Bros. The studio is closely associated with the "Looney Tunes" and "Merrie Melodies" characters, among others. The studio is the successor to Warner Bros. Cartoons (formerly Leon Schlesinger Productions), the studio which produced "Looney Tunes" and "Merrie Melodies" cartoon shorts from 1933 to 1963, and from 1967 to 1969. Warner reestablished its animation division in 1980 to produce "Looney Tunes"–related works. Context_9 : Jerry Beck (born February 9, 1955 in New York City) is an American animation historian, author, blogger, and video producer. The author and/or editor of several books on classic American animation and classic characters, including "The 50 Greatest Cartoons" (1994), "The Animated Movie Guide" (2005), "Not Just Cartoons: Nicktoons!" (2007), "The Flintstones: The Official Guide to the Cartoon Classic" (2011), "The Hanna-Barbera Treasury: Rare Art Mementos from Your Favorite Cartoon Classics" (2007), "The SpongeBob SquarePants Experience: A Deep Dive into the World of Bikini Bottom" (2013), "Pink Panther: The Ultimate Guide" (2005), and "Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies: A Complete Illustrated Guide to the Warner Bros. Cartoons" (with Will Friedwald, 1989) alongside "The 100 Greatest Looney Tunes Cartoons" (2010). He is also an authority on the making of modern films, with his books detailing the art of "Mr. Peabody and Sherman", DreamWorks' "Madagascar", and "Bee Movie". Beck is also an entertainment industry consultant for TV and home entertainment productions and releases related to classic cartoons and operates the blog "Cartoon Research." He appears frequently as a documentary subject and audio commentator on releases of A&E's "Cartoons Go to War" as well as DVD collections of "Looney Tunes", "Popeye the Sailor", and "Woody Woodpecker" cartoons, on which he serves as consultant and curator. Context_10 : The Censored Eleven is a group of "Looney Tunes" and "Merrie Melodies" cartoons originally produced and released by Warner Bros. that were withheld from syndication by United Artists (UA) in 1968. UA owned the distribution rights to the Associated Artists Productions library at that time, and decided to pull these eleven cartoons from broadcast because the use of ethnic stereotypes in the cartoons, specifically black stereotypes, were deemed too offensive for contemporary audiences. The ban has been continued by UA and the successive owners of the pre-August 1948 "Looney Tunes"/"Merrie Melodies". These shorts have not been officially broadcast on television since 1968 and have only been exhibited once theatrically by Warner Bros. in Spring 2010 (see below for more details) since their withdrawal. They have turned up, however, on low-cost VHS and DVD collections over the last thirty years. fact_1 :  The antics of Flop, the cat and Flippity the canary, were similar to that of Tweety and Sylvester of Warner Bros. However unlike Tweety, Flippity had to rely on Sam the household Dog to protect him from Flop. fact_2 : Sylvester J. Pussycat Sr., usually called Sylvester, is a fictional character, a three-time Academy Award-winning anthropomorphic, 40, 50, or 60-Inch tall Tuxedo cat in the "Looney Tunes" and "Merrie Melodies" series of cartoons.
