1951

1951 brings the introduction of the renowned Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, and Elmer Fudd hunting trilogy. Several older plot formulas were retired around this time, as Chuck Jones drops his older Disney-esque era characters, while the other directors continue to pursue churning out cartoons featuring their main stars. Twenty-nine cartoons were released this year.
