Bob Bransford

Bob Bransford (9 June 1925 - 8 December 2001) was an American animator who worked for Warner Bros under the direction of Chuck Jones and Rudy Larriva.
During the 1950s he was an assistant animator to Abe Levitow and Ben Washam. Bransford's first screen credit was as animator in Hopalong Casualty, working alongside Ken Harris, Richard Thompson and Tom Ray. This four-man crew animated most of Chuck Jones' cartoon shorts of the early 1960s, up to War and Pieces (in which Bransford animates the hydraulic press gag). Bransford also shared animation credit with Washam in Now Hear This. After Jones' 1962 departure, Bransford animated in Phil Monroe's Woolen Under Where and The Iceman Ducketh.
In 1965, Bransford joined Rudy Larriva's crew, animating for ten of the "Larriva Eleven." Long stiff ears (never short, floppy or tilted), stylized mouths and upturned cheeks characterized his work under Larriva. Among his scenes were Coyote flipping his eyebrows after testing a practice bomb in Hairied and Hurried, and Road Runner rushing through a tunnel for the second time in Shot and Bothered. 
In 1967, Bransford animated for Larriva's trilogy of Daffy-Speedy shorts (Quacker Tracker, The Music Mice-Tro and The Spy Swatter).
