1961

1961 is a year in the Golden Age of Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies. John W. Burton retires during this period, allowing David H. DePatie to take over his role as producer. Most regular main characters continued to appear, while several others such as Elmer Fudd and Porky Pig were in the process of being retired from the studio by this point.
== History ==
* David H. DePatie starts his long-time executive producer career this year.
* Starting from this year and onwards all the way to 1969, the ending titles would have A VITAPHONE RELEASE or A VITAGRAPH RELEASE at the end on the bottom with A WARNER BROS. CARTOON, as first shown in "From Hare to Heir" and "Hopalong Casualty". However, some 1960-1961 BR reissues, along with some shorts such as "Pests for Guests", "Yankee Dood It", "Tweet Zoo", and some other shorts released with orange rings, were exceptions.
