Porky 's Duck Hunt is a 1937 Looney Tunes cartoon directed by Tex Avery . The short subject features Porky Pig and Daffy Duck , the latter making what is considered his first official appearance .
Porky Pig is an animated character in the Warner Bros. Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies series of cartoons . He was the first character created by the studio to draw audiences based on his star power , and the animators created many critically acclaimed shorts featuring the character . Even after he was supplanted by later characters , Porky continued to be popular with moviegoers and , more importantly , the Warners directors , who recast him in numerous everyman and sidekick roles . He is known for his signature line at the end of many shorts , Th-th-th-that 's all folks ! This slogan ( without stuttering ) had also been used by both Bosko and Buddy and even Beans at the end of Looney Tunes cartoons . In contrast , the Merrie Melodies series used the slogan : So Long , Folks ! until the mid 1930s when it was replaced with the same one used on the Looney Tunes series ( when Bugs Bunny was the closing character , he would break the pattern by simply saying , in his Brooklynese accent , And Dat 's De End ! ) . He is the oldest continuing Looney Tunes character . Porky 's most distinctive trait is a severe stutter , for which he sometimes compensates by replacing his words ; for example , What 's going on ? might become What 's guh-guh-guh-guh - .what 's happening ? Porky 's age varied widely in the series ; originally conceived as an innocent seven-year-old piglet ( explicitly mentioned as such in Porky 's Preview ) , Porky was more frequently cast as an adult , often being cast as the competent straight man in the series in later years . In the ending of many Looney Tunes cartoons , Porky Pig bursts through a bass drum head , and his attempt to close the show with The End becomes Th-Th-The , Th-Th-The , Th-Th .
Frederick Bean Tex Avery ( February 26 , 1908 - August 26 , 1980 ) was an American animator and director , known for producing and directing animated cartoons during the golden age of American animation . His most significant work was for the Warner Bros. and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer studios , where he was crucial in the creation and evolution of famous animated characters such as Bugs Bunny , Daffy Duck , Porky Pig , Elmer Fudd , Droopy , Screwy Squirrel , George and Junior , and Chilly Willy . Gary Morris described Avery 's innovative approach :
Daffy Duck & Egghead is a 1938 Merrie Melodies cartoon directed by Tex Avery . The short subject features Daffy Duck and Egghead , hence the title of the short .
Elmer J. Fudd is a fictional cartoon character in the Warner Bros. Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies series , and an adversary of Bugs Bunny . He has one of the more disputed origins in the Warner Bros. cartoon pantheon ( second only to Bugs himself ) . His aim is to hunt Bugs , but he usually ends up seriously injuring himself and other antagonizing characters . He speaks in an unusual way , replacing his Rs and Ls with Ws , so he always refers to Bugs Bunny as a scwewy wabbit . Elmer 's signature catchphrase is , Shhh . Be vewy vewy quiet , I 'm hunting wabbits , as well as his trademark laughter . The best known Elmer Fudd cartoons include Chuck Jones ' work What 's Opera , Doc ? ( one of the few times Fudd bested Bugs , though he felt bad about it ) , the Rossini parody Rabbit of Seville , and the Hunting Trilogy of Rabbit Season/Duck Season shorts ( Rabbit Fire , Rabbit Seasoning , and Duck ! Rabbit , Duck ! ) with Fudd , Bugs Bunny , and Daffy Duck . An earlier character named Egghead set some of Elmer 's aspects before the character 's more conspicuous features were set .
The Daffy Doc is a 1938 Looney Tunes cartoon supervised by Bob Clampett ( credited as Robert Clampett ) and starring Porky Pig and Daffy Duck . This cartoon was produced by Leon Schlesinger and released by Vitaphone and Warner Bros .
Robert Emerson Clampett ( May 8 , 1913 - May 2 , 1984 ) was an American animator , producer , director , and puppeteer best known for his work on the Looney Tunes animated series from Warner Bros. , and the television shows Time for Beany and Beany and Cecil . Clampett was born and raised not far from Hollywood , and early on expressed an interest in animation and puppetry . After leaving high school a few months shy of graduating in 1931 , Clampett joined the team at Harman-Ising Productions and began working on the studio 's newest short subjects , titled Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies . Clampett was promoted to a directorial position in 1937 and during his fifteen years at the studio , directed 84 cartoons later deemed classic and designed some of the studio 's most famous characters , including Porky Pig , Daffy Duck , and Tweety . Among Clampett 's most acclaimed films are Porky in Wackyland ( 1938 ) and The Great Piggy Bank Robbery ( 1946 ) . Clampett left Warner Bros. Cartoons in 1946 and turned his attention to television , creating the puppet show Time for Beany in 1949 . A later animated version of the series , titled Beany and Cecil , was initially broadcast on ABC in 1962 and was rerun until 1967 . The series is considered the first fully creator-driven television series , and carried the byline a Bob Clampett Cartoon . In his later years , Clampett toured college campuses and animation festivals as a lecturer on the history of animation . His Warner cartoons have seen renewed praise in decades since for their surrealistic qualities , energetic and outrageous animation , and irreverent humor . Animation historian Jerry Beck lauded Clampett for putting the word 'looney ' in Looney Tunes .
Plane Daffy is a 1944 Looney Tunes cartoon directed by Frank Tashlin .
Francis Fredrick von Taschlein ( February 19 , 1913 - May 5 , 1972 ) , better known by his stage name Frank Tashlin , was an American animator , cartoonist , children 's writer , illustrator , screenwriter , and film director of comedy movies . He was also known as Tish Tash and Frank Tash .
The Great Piggy Bank Robbery is a Warner Bros. Pictures Looney Tunes theatrical cartoon short , produced in early 1945 , and released in 1946 . It was directed by Robert Clampett , and features Daffy Duck in Clampett 's penultimate Warner cartoon , produced shortly before he left the studio . The cartoon is largely a parody of the popular Dick Tracy comic book series . This is also the last short Clampett directed that featured Daffy .
Nasty Quacks is a 1945 Warner Bros. cartoon in the Merrie Melodies series . It was the final Daffy Duck cartoon directed by Frank Tashlin , who is not credited as he had already left the studio for the second time . Voices of the male characters are performed by Mel Blanc .
Melissa Duck is an animated cartoon character in the Warner Brothers Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies series of cartoons and the animated television series Baby Looney Tunes . She is featured as main character Daffy Duck 's blonde girlfriend in several cartoon shorts but is only referred to as Melissa in one , The Scarlet Pumpernickel , where she is voiced by Bea Benaderet .
Book Revue ( later re-issued on May 19 , 1951 , as Book Review ) is a Looney Tunes cartoon short featuring Daffy Duck , released in 1946 , with a plotline that is a mixture of the plots of 1937 's Speaking of the Weather , 1938 's Have You Got Any Castles ? and 1941 's A Coy Decoy . It is directed by Bob Clampett , written by Warren Foster and scored by Carl Stalling . The Characters ' voices were provided by Mel Blanc , Sara Berner , Bea Benaderet , and Richard Bickenbach , who were uncredited . In the reissue , the title is a pun , as a revue is a variety show , while a review is an evaluation of a work ( this pun was not in the original release ) .
Duck Amuck is an American animated cartoon short directed by Chuck Jones and produced by Warner Bros. Cartoons . The short film was released in early 1953 by The Vitaphone Corporation , the short subject division of Warner Bros. , as part of the Merrie Melodies series . It stars Daffy Duck , who is tormented by a seemingly sadistic , unseen animator , who constantly changes Daffy 's locations , clothing , voice , physical appearance and even shape , much to Daffy 's aggravation and rage . Pandemonium reigns throughout the cartoon as Daffy attempts to steer the action back to some kind of normality , only for the animator to either ignore him or , more frequently , to over-literally interpret his increasingly frantic demands . In the end , the tormenting animator is revealed to be Bugs Bunny . In 1994 , it was voted # 2 of The 50 Greatest Cartoons of all time by members of the animation field , losing only to What 's Opera , Doc ? , also directed by Chuck Jones and written by Michael Maltese . It has been inducted into the United States Library of Congress and selected for preservation in the National Film Registry . The short was included on the Looney Tunes Golden Collection : Volume 1 DVD box set ( with optional audio commentary by Michael Barrier ) , The Essential Daffy Duck DVD box set , and the Looney Tunes Platinum Collection : Volume 1 Blu-ray box set . The short inspired the 2007 Nintendo DS game Looney Tunes : Duck Amuck .
Bugs Bunny is an animated cartoon character , created in the late 1930s by Leon Schlesinger Productions ( later Warner Bros. Cartoons ) and voiced originally by Mel Blanc . Bugs is best known for his starring roles in the Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies series of animated short films , produced by Warner Bros . Though a similar character called Happy Rabbit debuted in the WB cartoon Porky 's Hare Hunt ( 1938 ) and appeared in a few subsequent shorts , the definitive character of Bugs is widely credited to have made his debut in director Tex Avery 's Oscar-nominated film A Wild Hare ( 1940 ) . Bugs is an anthropomorphic gray and white rabbit or hare who is famous for his flippant , insouciant personality . He is also characterized by a Brooklyn accent , his portrayal as a trickster , and his catch phrase Eh.What 's up , doc ? . Due to Bugs ' popularity during the golden age of American animation , he became not only an American cultural icon and the official mascot of Warner Bros. Entertainment , but also one of the most recognizable characters in the world . He can thus be seen in the older Warner Bros. company logos . Since his debut , Bugs has appeared in various short films , feature films , compilations , TV series , music records , comics , video games , award shows , amusement park rides , and commercials . He has also appeared in more films than any other cartoon character , is the 9th most-portrayed film personality in the world , and has his own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame .
Charles Martin Jones ( September 21 , 1912 - February 22 , 2002 ) was an American animated filmmaker and cartoonist , best known for his work with Warner Bros. Cartoons on the Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies shorts . He wrote , produced , and/or directed many classic animated cartoon shorts starring Bugs Bunny , Daffy Duck , Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner , Pepé Le Pew , Porky Pig , Michigan J. Frog , the Three Bears , and a slew of other Warner characters . After his career at Warner Bros. ended in 1962 , Jones started Sib Tower 12 Productions , and began producing cartoons for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer , including a new series of Tom and Jerry shorts and the television adaptation of Dr. Seuss ' How the Grinch Stole Christmas ! . He later started his own studio , Chuck Jones Enterprises , which created several one-shot specials , and periodically worked on Looney Tunes related works . Jones was nominated for eight Academy Awards , winning three times . He won for the cartoons For Scent-imental Reasons , So Much for So Little , and The Dot and the Line . Robin Williams presented Jones with an Honorary Academy Award in 1996 for his iconic work in the animation industry . Film historian Leonard Maltin has praised Jones ' work at Warner Bros. , MGM and Chuck Jones Enterprises . He also said that the feud that there may have been between Jones and colleague Bob Clampett was mainly because they were so different from each other . In Jerry Beck 's The 50 Greatest Cartoons , ten of the entries were directed by Jones , with four out of the five top cartoons ( including first place ) being Jones shorts .
Duck Dodgers in the 241/2th Century ( spoken as twenty-fourth-and-a-half ) is a 1952 Merrie Melodies color cartoon from Warner Bros. , first released on July 25 , 1953 , that stars Daffy Duck as space hero Duck Dodgers , Porky Pig as his assistant , and Marvin the Martian as his opponent . This cartoon marked the first of many appearances of the Duck Dodgers character . Marvin the Martian had been introduced as an unnamed villain in Warner 's cartoon Haredevil Hare ( 1948 ) , playing opposite Bugs Bunny . He was later given the title 'Commander , Flying Saucer X-2 ' in 1951 's The Hasty Hare . The Duck Dodgers cartoon is an extended parody of the pulp magazine , newspaper comic strip , and comic book character Buck Rogers , and his longtime run of space adventures , Buck Rogers in the 25th Century . In 1994 , Duck Dodgers was voted # 4 of the 50 Greatest Cartoons of all time by members of the animation field . Because he was such a fan of the short in particular , Star Wars creator George Lucas requested that the short be shown before the original Star Wars film during its initial run in theaters . In 2004 , at Noreascon 4 , the 62nd World Science Fiction Convention , it was retrospectively nominated for a Retro Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation - Short Form .

My Little Duckaroo is a 1954 Warner Bros. Merrie Melodies theatrical cartoon short produced by Edward Selzer and starring Daffy Duck and Porky Pig . It was directed by Chuck Jones and written by Michael Maltese . This cartoon in many ways resembles the 1951 short directed by Chuck Jones entitled Drip-Along Daffy . In this animated piece , upon seeing a wanted poster with a reward of $ 10,000.00 for the dead or alive capture of Nasty Canasta , Daffy sets out alongside his companion Porky and his trusty steed to retrieve the villain and collect on the money . The cartoon can be found on the sixth volume of the Looney Tunes Golden Collection , as well as the second volume of its Blu-Ray successor , the Platinum Collection ( along with Drip-Along Daffy and Barbary Coast Bunny ) .
Nasty Canasta is a cartoon character and antagonist of the Merrie Melodies and Looney Tunes series who made appearances in three cartoons . Created by animator Chuck Jones , Canasta is depicted as a tough , hulking , and brutish-looking outlaw ( normally with a cowboy theme ) . Like other similar antagonists in Looney Tunes , he is a typical 'dumb muscle ' but is relatively more criminal in his personality and much more intimidating , especially in his nearly superhuman physique and threatening use of his revolver pistols . He was originally voiced by Mel Blanc , with Daws Butler voicing him in Barbary Coast Bunny .
A Star Is Bored is a Warner Bros. animated cartoon of the Looney Tunes series , directed by Friz Freleng . The cartoon expands upon the rivalry depicted between Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck , in such films as Chuck Jones ' Rabbit Fire , this time placing the action in a show-biz setting . In this 7-minute short , Daffy must double for Bugs in any slapstick that Warners deems too dangerous for its top star . After each disaster , Daffy shouts MAKEUP ! . The director directing the scenes has an Erich Von Stroheim accent . This is one of the only four Warner Bros. shorts ( the others being This Is a Life ? , Invasion of the Bunny Snatchers , and [ Blooper ] Bunny ) in which Bugs is paired with each of his three main antagonists ( Daffy , Elmer Fudd , and Yosemite Sam ) . The title is a play on the film A Star Is Born .
Yosemite Sam is an American animated cartoon character in the Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies series of cartoons produced by Warner Bros . Animation . His name is taken from Yosemite National Park .

In cartoons with non-Western themes , he uses various aliases , including Chilkoot Sam ( named for the Chilkoot Trail ; Sam pronounces it Chilli-koot ) and Square-deal Sam in 14 Carrot Rabbit , Riff Raff Sam in Sahara Hare , Sam Schultz in Big House Bunny , Seagoin ' Sam in Buccaneer Bunny , Shanghai Sam in Mutiny on the Bunny , and Von Schamm the Hessian in Bunker Hill Bunny and many others .

Freleng , was an American animator , cartoonist , director , producer , and composer known for his work at Warner Bros. Cartoons on the Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies series of cartoons .

The senior director at Warners ' Termite Terrace studio , Freleng directed more cartoons than any other director in the studio ( a total of 266 ) , and is also the most honored of the Warner directors , having won five Academy Awards and three Emmy Awards [ disputed - discuss ] .

DePatie founded DePatie-Freleng Enterprises , which produced cartoons ( including The Pink Panther Show ) , feature film title sequences , and Saturday-morning cartoons through the early 1980s . The nickname Friz came from his friend , Hugh Harman , who initially nicknamed him Congressman Frizby after a fictional senator who appeared in satirical pieces in the Los Angeles Examiner .
