1943

thumb|right|Private Snafu, WB's greatest contribution to assist in the War effort
1943 continued Warner Brothers' assistance in World War II with the creation of Private Snafu and many shorts with their characters fighting the fight against the Axis powers; also seeing the end of Looney Tunes black-and-white output and the finale of Porky Pig's long run as a lead character in the process.
Twenty-nine cartoons were released this year, six in black and white and the remaining in color.
== History ==
* After "Puss n' Booty", no further Looney Tunes shorts were produced in black and white. All Looney Tunes shorts from then until July 24, 1948 were part of the Associated Artists Productions library. Also, all shorts released after 1943 are currently still under copyright.
* "To Duck .... or Not to Duck", "Yankee Doodle Daffy", "The Wise Quacking Duck", and "Daffy - The Commando" were in color this year, all featuring Daffy Duck. "The Wise Quacking Duck", however, uses the black and white bylines of "WARNER BROS." and "Present" while the other three use the color one which started in 1942.
* Starting with "Falling Hare", the WB shield debuts to the finalized one used from 1943-46, and from 1954-64. The 1947-53 would use a different one but when the backgrounds changed to smaller ones in 1954, the WB from 1943-46 was used again. The WB from 1943-46 was also used in Bugs Bunny cartoons from 1945-49.
*The Blue Ribbon program would start from this year and end in 1969. However, re-releases between 1964-69 had no alterations of any kind, hence those shorts exist with both their original titles and credits. The intention of the program was to compensate for the studio losing many of its talent to the war effort as well as Schlesinger's declining health by rereleasing older shorts with edited titles.
* The studio begins producing the Private Snafu cartoons for the U.S. Army.
