They’re wacky. They’re mischievous. One could even say they’re a bit “looney.” Who could we be referring to? Based on these quirky descriptors alone, you may have already guessed we’re talking about the beloved characters of LOONEY TUNES.
For nearly a century, LOONEY TUNES favorites like BUGS BUNNY™, TWEETY BIRD™ and SYLVESTER THE CAT™ have kept generations of fans laughing. In fact, they’ve become such a staple in American pop culture, you may even recognize some of their famous catchphrases like “What’s Up, Doc?”, “I Tawt I Taw a Puddy Tat!” or perhaps “Sufferin’ Succotash!”
LOONEY TUNES has made such a lasting impact, one might wonder how they came to be. To trace their history, we must go all the way back to 1930. This is when Warner Bros. decided to produce animated shorts using music from their extensive recording library. Throughout the 1930s and ’40s, a succession of unforgettable characters made their debut including PORKY PIG™ and DAFFY DUCK™, while later films would introduce enduring characters like ROAD RUNNER™, WILE E. COYOTE™ and ELMER FUDD™.
Of course, the legacy of LOONEY TUNES extends far beyond its initial run. The characters have become cultural icons, spawning feature films, television series, comic books, video games, amusement park rides and more. And the series’ innovative animation techniques and blend of humor, music and social commentary has influenced countless animators and filmmakers to this day.
