1959 marks another Golden Age year for the series, with Warner Bros. continuing to release several cartoons this year despite continuous dwindling profits.
== History ==
* "Wild and Woolly Hare" was the latest short to be given a Blue Ribbon Reissue.
* During this year, "Dog Gone South" was the final short that retained the original ending on its Blue Ribbon reissue. Starting late from this year and onwards, the original ending would also be removed but not the credits. Additionally, shorts such as "Putty Tat Trouble", "French Rarebit", "Pests for Guests", and Merrie Melodies shorts with orange rings made in 1956-1957 kept the original ending despite being reissued in the 1959-1960 season.
* Starting with "Bonanza Bunny", the Color Rings were changed to a crimson color, which would be permanent until the closure of the original studio.
