Outback Buddy
Release date: 1929-24-06
Plot: Buddy plays his sappy little song without a care in the world, until his new sidekicks smash him over the head. That's all.
Name and role: According to the archives from 'The Animaniacs 65th Anniversary Special' Buddy was supposed to be the WB star on par with Bosko. The problem was, he had no appeal, just this huge head and big eyes. So in his official first short, they paired him up with some brand new cartoon characters, the Warners, who, instead of enriching the stories, spent their time beating up Buddy.
Trivia and other appearances: Obviously, in reality this cartoon doesn't exist. Buddy's actual first appearance was in 1933, and he went on to star in quite a few shorts of the era. As for the Warners, audiences had to wait until the 1990s to see their series, and later, the reboot.

Later she appears as a mentor for Babs Bunny in the episode 'Fields of Honey'in 1990

Ragamuffins
Release date: 1930-04-25
Plot: Yakko, Wakko, and Dot attempt to work in a bakery to satiate their hunger but are thwarted by a strict pastry chef. The episode is notable for its homage to silent-era cartoons, relying entirely on visual gags and musical cues without any
Name and role: The pastry chef, depicted as a bull, serves as the antagonist in this short. He is characterized by his strict enforcement of the bakery's "no eating while working" policy, often intervening to prevent the Warners from sneaking bites of the pastries. His interactions with the Warners are marked by exaggerated physical comedy, including restraining Dot with her own tongue and using Wakko as a piping bag.
Trivia and other appearances: The chef is your classic one-shot villain, he only appears in this episode. Even though the short pretends to be from the 1930s, the original episode actually aired in 1994. He's placed at this point in the timeline just to keep up the charade. This cartoon also highlights once again how the Warners pay tribute to the Marx Brothers, even taking on their shapes when they're covered in cream.

These scenes, intended as slapstick comedy at the time, are now widely recognized as offensive caricatures rooted in racist stereotypes. Modern broadcasts often censor or omit these segments, and while images are included here for historical context, I do not endorse or approve of their portrayal in any way. Their presence in animation history is a reminder of how popular media once reflected (and reinforced) prejudices that should be critically examined today.
Trivia and other appearances: Only apparition.

Hittin' the Trail for Hallelujah Land
Release date: 1931-11-28
Plot: The story follows captain Piggy and his river boat. Piggy saves Uncle To Uncle Tom from drowning, but then a villain kidnaps Fluffy. Piggy captures the villain using a mail hook, leaving him suspended over a buzz saw. This cartoon is notable for its use of racial stereotypes and was later the first one included in the "Censored Eleven," a group of cartoons withheld from syndication due to offensive content.
Name and role: Uncle Tom is portrayed as a doglike character who serves as Fluffy's carriage driver. After a mishap with his donkey, he is thrown into a cemetery where he encounters three dancing skeletons that sing the title tune. This scene plays on the stereotype of African Americans being overly superstitious and fearful of ghosts, a trope common in early 20th-century media. The depiction of Uncle Tom in this context, along with other racially insensitive elements, contributed to the cartoon's inclusion in the "Censored Eleven," a group of Warner Bros. cartoons withdrawn from syndication in 1968 due to their offensive content.
Trivia and other appearances: Obviously the only apparition.

Release date: 1932-05-14
Plot: A curious mouse tiptoes out of his hole in a music shop and accidentally activates a gramophone playing the catchy tune "It's Got Me Again!" The music summons a horde of mice.

Undeterred, Owl Jolson enters a radio amateur contest, where his jazz performance captivates the audience.

Name and role: The only one in his family born wearing flashy red clothes, he delights us with his hilarious swings between a grumpy pout whenever he's forced to sing classical tunes, and pure, explosive joy when he bursts into his natural, wild way of singing!
Trivia and other appearances: Since Owl Jolson is used only in this short, his song has become a true pop culture icon, famously parodied and referenced in several media. Notably, it appears in the very first episode of South Park, "Cartman Gets an Anal Probe" where characters break into the song after an alien encounter. The tune is also featured in The Looney Tunes Show (episode "Gribbler's Quest"), sung by Gossamer with updated lyrics, and even pops up in the Looney Tunes: Back in Action video game, where archival audio of Owl Jolson is used.
Personal note: I've redrawn almost every character I made back in 2020, when I first started this project. Owl Jolson was the very first one, so I decided to leave him just the way he is: clumsy, full of mistakes. To remind myself where I started.

Name and role: Phineas (someone sais his second name is "Alan") Pig is Porky's father, characterized by his gruff demeanor and shared stutter with Porky.

Name and role: At first, Dr. Quack seems like nothing more than your typical snake oil salesman, all smoke and mirrors... but oh, how wrong you'd be to underestimate him! His pills actually work, and not only do they mess with the weather, but they also twist and scramble the DNA of any animal that munches on them (the lightning-charged chicken is a dead ringer for some of the wild experiments from Gremlins II, if you catch my drift). Honestly, if this short had come out a few decades later, you can bet your last carrot that the whole "Dr. Quack" bit would've been replaced by a big, shiny ACME crate dropped from the sky.
Trivia and other appearances: This was Dr. Quack's one and only appearance, a real one-hit wonder. However, the "earthquake pills" would resurface a few years later... in the oh-so-clumsy paws of a certain hapless coyote we all know and love.

The Electric Company
Release date: 1973-01-01
Plot: "The Electric Company" was an educational children's television series produced by the Children's Television Workshop (the same masterminds behind Sesame Street), and it aired on PBS from 1971 to 1977. Designed to help elementary school kids master reading and grammar, the show used live-action sketches, catchy songs, and lively animations to keep young minds engaged. During its third season, the series introduced a set of short animated segments starring Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner, directed by the legendary Chuck Jones, bringing a dash of classic Looney Tunes chaos into the educational mix.
Name and role: In these segments, the Coyote didn't suffer physical harm, but the gags focused on wordplay and road signs with instructions like "Walk," "Jump," "Smile," which in this case could be seen on the Road Runner's wings. These segments were designed to teach children words and reading concepts through humorous and visually engaging situations.
Trivia and other appearances: Without going through Road Runner's entire career, let's focus on his educational side: from the 1990s into the 2000s, Road Runner became the target in various educational CDs like Looney Tunes Edutainment and JumpStart. In these games, players had to solve small problems together with Wile E. in order to try and catch him.
Release date: 1973-01-01
Plot: "The Electric Company" was an educational children's television series produced by the Children's Television Workshop (the same masterminds behind Sesame Street), and it aired on PBS from 1971 to 1977. Designed to help elementary school kids master reading and grammar, the show used live-action sketches, catchy songs, and lively animations to keep young minds engaged. During its third season, the series introduced a set of short animated segments starring Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner, directed by the legendary Chuck Jones, bringing a dash of classic Looney Tunes chaos into the educational mix.

Name and role: In one of the segments, Wile E. Coyote chases Road Runner and encounters a series of signs telling him to "Walk," "Jump," "Run," until he sees a sign that says "Jump" and ends up leaping off a cliff.
Trivia and other appearances: Again, we're not talking about Wile E. Coyote's ongoing career, but if we stick to the educational angle, believe it or not, Wile E. Coyote cartoons have been analyzed in university courses on physics and narrative writing. Some professors use them to discuss the laws of dynamics (which the Coyote constantly ignores) or to teach narrative structure, comedic escalation, and tension-building.

Bugs Bunny: Superstar
Release date: 1975-12-19
Plot: Bugs Bunny: Superstar is a semi-documentary feature film that presents nine classic Warner Bros. cartoons from the 1940s, connected by interviews and archival footage that explore the origins of the Looney Tunes characters and the creative team behind them. Narrated by Orson Welles, the film highlights the early animation work at Termite Terrace and focuses on the careers of key animators like Bob Clampett.
Name and role: While not the protagonist of a singular plot, Bugs Bunny is the symbolic centerpiece of the film, appearing in several featured shorts and serving as the emblem of the Golden Age of Warner Bros. animation. The film positions him as the most iconic and enduring of the Looney Tunes characters, showcasing his evolution through selected shorts.
Trivia and other appearances: The film includes 9 classic shorts, natably A Wild Hare (1940) What's Cookin' Doc? (1944) and The Old Grey Hare (1944). Curiosity: Bob Clampett supplied most of the archival materials used in the documentary, and his interview segments prominently highlight his contributions. However, this led to controversy, as other animators (especially Chuck Jones) criticized the film for overstating Clampett's role in the creation of characters like Bugs Bunny.

Trivia and other appearances: The only showdown between Witch Hazel and Daffy Duck takes place in the short "A-Haunting We Will Go" (1966), which is almost entirely reused in this special.

Name and role: Daffy's nephew, sadly nameless and doomed to obscurity, takes Bugs Bunny's place in the witch costume. It's just a recolor of the old scene, and possibly due to a goof, part of his face isn't recolored properly and stays white. His legs are orange, unlike Bugs's white ones.
Trivia and other appearances: This was the first and only appearance of the mysterious young duckling, an unsung hero of the Looney Tunes lore, gone before he even had a proper name.

Bugs Bunny in King Arthur's Court
Release date: 1978-02-23
Plot: Bugs, while digging a hole, ends up in medieval Britain and is mistaken for a "dwagon" by Sir Elmer of Fudde. He encounters King Arthur, played by Daffy Duck, and Merlin, portrayed by Yosemite Sam. The story follows Bugs's adventures as he navigates knights, magic, and courtly intrigue, using his wits to face challenges and find his way back to his own time.
Name and role: Yosemite Sam takes on the role of Merlin of Monroe, the royal court wizard. He's immediately suspicious of Bugs and wants nothing more than to see him defeated (because of course he does). He teams up with Elmer during the joust, loading him up with every trick in the book, from enchanted gadgets to straight-up cannons. Needless to say, the outcome is exactly what you'd expect.
Trivia and other appearances: Sam appears in another medieval-themed short, Knighty Knight Bugs (1958), where, instead of a wizard, he plays the role of the Black Knight.

The story follows Bugs's adventures as he navigates knights, magic, and courtly intrigue, using his wits to face challenges and find his way back to his own time.
Name and role: The dragon becomes part of the "upgrades" Bugs brings to the medieval world he's stumbled into. By building a system of pipes and coils, he harnesses the dragon's fiery breath to power the entire castle letting the relaxed beast just breathe flames into a tube like some sort of medieval boiler. It all works like a charm... until Elmer shows up and ruins everything (he can't catch a rabbit, but he can beat an industrial dragon, sure, why not).
Trivia and other appearances: Of course, this isn't the first dragon to grace the Looney Tunes universe, and while this particular one didn't enjoy a future beyond this short, let's not forget its scaly ancestors. The very first dragon appeared all the way back in One Step Ahead of My Shadow (1933), and Bugs himself already had a fire-breathing run-in during Knight-mare Hare (1955), another of his Arthurian misadventures.

The story follows Bugs's adventures as he navigates knights, magic, and courtly intrigue, using his wits to face challenges and find his way back to his own time.
Name and role: Sir Elmer of Fudde is a medieval knight on a dragon-hunting quest for reasons unknown... possibly boredom, possibly just Elmer being Elmer. After mistaking Bugs for a "dwagon" and getting thoroughly outwitted, he challenges him to a joust, complete with every underhanded trick in the codex, from rigged lances to magical mischief.
Trivia and other appearances: While Elmer hasn't starred in other overtly medieval-themed shorts, if you're craving more of him in armor, look no further than the timeless classic What's Opera, Doc? (1957), where he trades dragons for Wagnerian drama and ends up in the most operatic (and tragic) version of "Kill the wabbit" ever animated.

The story follows Bugs's adventures as he navigates knights, magic, and courtly intrigue, using his wits to face challenges and find his way back to his own time.
Name and role: In this short, Daffy Duck takes on none other than the role of King Arthur himself. And for once, he's not scrambling for power: he's already got it. He spends most of the joust laughing his royal feathers off, clearly enjoying the rare moment of not being the butt of the joke. He's in such a chipper mood that, by the end, he willingly hands over the crown to Bugs, declaring, "Well, a duck King Arthur does sound ridiculous" (unlike a rabbit, of course. perfectly normal medieval monarchy material).
Trivia and other appearances: Wanna see Daffy in more King Arthur-themed shenanigans? While he pops up in a few medieval-ish cartoons, the only one that really keeps the Arthurian thread is "Daffy Duck and Porky Pig Meet the Groovie Goolies" (1972): a bizarre crossover where the vibes are more psychedelic than Pendragon.

Name and role: During the jousting sequence, Bugs Bunny ditches his trench coat in favor of something far more fitting for the occasion: a dazzling suit of armor! Riding on his trusty little donkey, he manages to stand his ground against Elmer of Fudde and emerges victorious in the competition.
Trivia and other appearances: Other chivalric-themed shorts include Knighty Knight Bugs (1958), Knight-Mare Hare (1955), Knights Must Fall (1949), and Rabbit Hood (1949). One thing that really caught my attention is that in the game Looney Tunes Mayhem, this particular donkey and the long lance are given as a special animation for Sylvester because he's never had any knightly appearances. It's quite generous of Bugs to share his gags like that!

Name and role: When Bugs showcases the improvements he's making to the Middle Ages, he brings Porky into a hall filled with suits of armor designed to protect weaker, more fragile animals. Among them stands out a bird-shaped suit clearly modeled after Tweety... as if that little menace even needed armor, considering he's already dangerous enough on his own!
Trivia and other appearances: The only other medieval appearance of Tweety is in "A Big Knight Out" (1999), from the series Sylvester and Tweety Mysteries.

Name and role: Porky, ever the faithful squire, acts as Bugs's right-hand pig, giving us exposition through his own bewildered ears. Always neutral, always second fiddle but absolutely essential to the flow of the story.
Trivia and other appearances: Porky also has a historical encounter with knights, though without being one himself, in Porky the Giant Killer (1939), where he replaces the armored crowd to take on an entire family of giants.

How Bugs Bunny Won the West
Release date: 1978-11-15
Plot: The storyline is constructed from segments of earlier cartoons, including "Barbary-Coast Bunny," "14 Carrot Rabbit," "Aqua Duck," "Bonanza Bunny," "Wild and Woolly Hare," and "Drip-Along Daffy" . In these adventures, Bugs faces off against characters like Yosemite Sam, Nasty Canasta, and Blacque Jacque Shellacque, using his wit and cunning to overcome obstacles and outsmart his foes.
Name and role: There's nothing more classic than this duo as cowboys, so for this special about "west" I choose them as main rappresentation
Trivia and other appearances: Yosemite Sam made his explosive debut in Hare Trigger (1945). His persona as the ultimate short-fused gunslinger is further developed in Bugs Bunny Rides Again (1948), Wild and Woolly Hare (1959), and Horse Hare (1960) each short placing Sam in iconic frontier roles, from saloon duelist to cavalry commander. These western-themed cartoons not only solidify his image as the quintessential Western foil but also cement his place as one of the most versatile and enduring villains in the Looney Tunes stable.
Release date: 1978-11-15
Plot: The storyline is constructed from segments of earlier cartoons, including "Barbary-Coast Bunny," "14 Carrot Rabbit," "Aqua Duck," "Bonanza Bunny," "Wild and Woolly Hare," and "Drip-Along Daffy" . In these adventures, Bugs faces off against characters like Yosemite Sam, Nasty Canasta, and Blacque Jacque Shellacque, using his wit and cunning to overcome obstacles and outsmart his foes.

Bugs Bunny's Valentine
or Bugs Bunny's Cupid Capers
Release date: 1979-02-14
Plot: In this special, a Cupid bearing the unmistakable features of Elmer Fudd tries to make Bugs Bunny fall in love by shooting him with a magical arrow. Bugs, ever the skeptic, watches as Cupid fumbles his way through pairing up unlikely Looney Tunes couples like Penelope Pussycat and Pepé Le Pew, or Foghorn Leghorn and Miss Prissy. Amused and intrigued, Bugs decides to try his hand at matchmaking himself... with predictably hilarious results.
Name and role: Elmer's Cupid role highlights the Looney Tunes' tradition of subverting romantic clichés. His stiff, awkward demeanor makes him an ironic choice for the god of love, which is exactly what makes his appearances so memorable.
Trivia and other appearances: Of course, Elmer isn't new to this role: the whole idea is actually inspired by The Stupid Cupid (1944), where he first donned the wings and halo of a very confused cherub.

The Bugs Bunny Mother's Day Special
Release date: 1979-05-12
Plot: The special features a selection of classic Looney Tunes shorts centered around the theme of motherhood, tied together by new animated segments in which Bugs Bunny interacts with other characters, including Granny and the drunken stork.
Name and role: In this special, Granny appears selling flowers in a park, where she meets Bugs Bunny. Together, they discuss the importance of mothers, introducing the shorts featured throughout the special. Rarely have we seen Granny drawn this poorly, the design here looks almost like a bootleg version of herself...
Trivia and other appearances: Granny is a well-known character in the Looney Tunes universe, appearing in nearly every Looney-related brand, including the feature films. Though she always plays a maternal role, there's no evidence she's ever had children of her own.

Plot: The special features a selection of classic Looney Tunes shorts centered around the theme of motherhood, tied together by new animated segments in which Bugs Bunny interacts with other characters, including Granny and the drunken stork.
Name and role: The drunken stork is a recurring Looney Tunes character, despite never receiving an official name. He's famous for delivering babies to the wrong families due to his habit of toasting every drop-off. In this special, he recounts stories of his misdelivered bundles, adding a comic touch to the celebration of motherhood.
Trivia and other appearances: He appears in several classic shorts, including Baby Bottleneck (1946), A Mouse Divided (1953), Goo Goo Goliath (1954), Stork Naked (1955), Pappy's Puppy (1955), and Apes of Wrath (1959).

The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Movie
Release date: 1979-09-14
Plot: The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Movie, released in 1979, is a compilation film directed by Chuck Jones and Phil Monroe. The film features Bugs Bunny as the host, introducing a series of classic Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies shorts, primarily directed by Jones himself. The film includes full or partial segments from notable cartoons such as "Duck Amuck," "What's Opera, Doc?," "Robin Hood Daffy," "Bully for Bugs," and "Ali Baba Bunny." The final segment is an extended compilation of Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner chases, blending scenes from multiple shorts into a continuous pursuit.
Name and role: Bugs invites us into his home as if we were watching a documentary. He wears a very elegant dark red smoking jacket and leads us through hallways filled with portraits, retracing the history of his colleagues. Each portrait introduces us to new shorts, and the film unfolds in this way. A fun fact about the house, which appears only in the newly animated scenes created for this film: it is modeled after Frank Lloyd Wright's famous architectural design, Fallingwater.
Trivia and other appearances: At this point, there's no need to explain Bugs' history, so here's a trivia about the film: a segment in the film addresses Bugs Bunny's "several fathers," subtly omitting Bob Clampett's name. This was a deliberate move by Chuck Jones to counter Clampett's claims of being the sole creator of Bugs Bunny, highlighting the ongoing dispute between the two animators.

Bugs Bunny's Christmas Tale
Release date: 1979-11-07
Plot: Bugs Bunny's Looney Christmas Tales features three new Christmas-themed shorts: Bugs Bunny's Christmas Carol, Freeze Frame, and Fright Before Christmas; all linked together by brand-new animated bridging sequences starring Bugs Bunny and the Looney Tunes gang, giving the special a continuous and festive flow.
Name and role: In this transitional segment, some cast members sing Christmas carols. I chose not to include Sam again since he already appears later as Scrooge. I found it a bit odd that they gave at least a hat to everyone but left Pepe' and Foghorn "naked," but here they are.
Trivia and other appearances: The cast is very well know to tell you where they also appears but despite being one of the most prominent Looney Tunes characters, Daffy Duck does not appear in this special. This is particularly notable given that even lesser-known characters like Bugs Bunny's nephew, Clyde, and Petunia Pig make appearances.

Name and role: The Tasmanian Devil escapes from a cargo plane and lands near Santa's workshop. After accidentally putting on Santa's suit, Taz takes control of the sleigh and ends up causing chaos at Bugs Bunny's house. Taz, here more of a goofball than a menace, is used almost like a reverse Grinch: he's not trying to steal Christmas, he wants to eat it.
Trivia and other appearances: We'll see Taz in a similar role again in the December 25, 1993 episode "No Time for Christmas" from the series Taz-Mania.

Name and role: In the "Bugs Bunny's Christmas Carol" segment, Sam plays Scrooge, and Bugs, as you can see, plays a really cheap version of the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come. We've definitely seen him put in way more effort than this. I've always found it super creepy how tiny his eyes look through the sheet, so I left them exactly as they were. It's one of those details I just can't unsee.
Trivia and other appearances: We've seen these two torment each other in the past, the present, and no doubt we'll see it again in the future. Since Hare Trigger (1945), the two have clashed (during the Golden Age alone) a total of 15 times. If you're interested in other Warner Bros. takes on A Christmas Carol, the movie Bah, Humduck! gives you the full story but with Daffy taking on the role of Scrooge.

During his sessions, he screens clips from classic cartoons as therapeutic case studies, naturally, all delivered with his usual sly charm and wink-at-the-camera antics.
Name and role: A memorable patients is Millicent, the Slobovian rabbit, who's deeply concerned about her weight. Bugs gently nudges her toward the idea that her overactive appetite might stem from emotional hunger: a lack of love and affection in her life, more than a craving for carrot cake.
Trivia and other appearances: The short includes footage from no fewer than eleven classic cartoons, among them Rabbit Every Monday, Birds Anonymous, Canned Feud, Guided Muscle, and Bedevilled Rabbit. As for Millicent, you can catch her original appearance in Rabbit Romeo (1957), and her long-awaited comeback in The Magnificent Millicent (2018) from the series Wabbit.

Daffy Flies North
Release date: 1980-04-01
Plot: During the summer migration north, a worn-out and out-of-shape Daffy Duck decides to find an easier way to reach his destination. After several failed attempts Daffy manages to board an airplane... only to discover it's heading to South America, miles away from where he was trying to go.
Name and role: Daffy in the middle of the short, resorts to riding a horse. Unfortunately, the horse wants no part of it and throws him off repeatedly, leading to a series of slapstick gags.

The Yolks on You
Release date: 1980-04-01
Plot: Foghorn Leghorn tasks Miss Prissy with laying colorful Easter eggs. However, instead of a pastel surprise, she lays a golden egg and immediately tries to hide it. The shimmering treasure soon falls into the hands of Daffy Duck and Sylvester, who enter a frantic, slapstick rivalry to claim it for themselves.
Name and role: The egg rolls out of the henhouse and lands in Daffy's hands, who immediately claims it with dreams of getting rich. But of course, Sylvester spots it too and decides he wants in on the golden prize. What follows is a full-blown showdown of trickery, traps, and well-placed mallets: the two steal the egg from each other, guard it, hide it, throw it, and fiercely defend it... doing absolutely everything except working together.
Trivia and other appearances: The two actually share only a small handful of collaborations in Looney Tunes shorts, just two, to be precise: The Scarlet Pumpernickel (1950), and A Taste of Catnip (1966). Their paths rarely cross, making any Daffy-Sylvester pairing a real collector's item in the Looney canon.

The shimmering treasure soon falls into the hands of Daffy Duck and Sylvester, who enter a frantic, slapstick rivalry to claim it for themselves.
Name and role: Foghorn create the initial situation of the cartoon, it's his bright idea to prep colorful eggs and his relentless pressure on Miss Prissy that kicks things off. Then, poof! He vanishes from the rest of the short like a rooster-shaped ghost. Why is he even here? Because it's one of the very rare times Foghorn Leghorn actually acts like a real rooster: he actually crows! A proper "COCK-A-DOODLE-DOOOO!" moment, proving that beneath all the bluster, there is a barnyard bird in there somewhere.
Trivia and other appearances: Foghorn and Miss Prissy have a long history of on-screen appearances together. But this is the first time we see him in a more farmer-like role toward her: laying down the law, even threatening to send her off to the "House of Old Hen" if she doesn't start laying eggs that meet the Easter quota. It's bossy and also vaguely sinister...

Trivia and other appearances: We've hit a tricky point here: the sun appears, often off-screen, in almost every short! Oh my god, this is too much even for me.

Plot: Bugs Bunny enters a dream in which he relives his youth. In the dream, a young Bugs and a young Elmer Fudd find themselves caught in a series of classic-style gags, with all the gunfire replaced by harmless cork poppers. In the end, Bugs wakes up, reflecting on how he and Elmer were among the youngest rivals to ever get started.

Name and role: Young Elmer Fudd is determined to hunt Bugs, but his lack of knowledge and childlike innocence leave him wide open to Bugs' tricks. One standout moment comes when Elmer doesn't fall off a cliff because he hasn't "studied gravity" yet. After reading a book Bugs left behind, Elmer immediately plummets, prompting him to declare that he'll "stay ignorant" from now on to avoid such pitfalls.
Trivia and other appearances: Other shorts that explore the childhood or younger versions of Bugs and Elmer include The Old Grey Hare (1944) and This Is a Life? (1955). Also this is the olny time Wile and Elmer pairs in a shoot

Soup or Sonic
Release date: 1980-05-21
Plot: And so the dance continues into the 1980s. Wile E. Coyote tries out a fresh batch of tricks to catch the Road Runner, only to meet the same old fate. From pole vaulting disasters to tennis mishaps, and even a sticky trap involving flypaper that ends up attracting a massive, monstrous fly, everything backfires spectacularly. In the finale, Wile is sucked into a series of tubes that shrink him down to the size of a toenail. He actually catches Road Runner, but being bite-sized, all he can do is turn to the audience and ask: "Now that I've caught him... what do I do?"
Name and role: The intro sets the tone: Wile rushes into a dust cloud left behind by Road Runner, completely misses the curve, and goes flying off a cliff. But not before doing a little peek over the cloud to confirm just how far down it is.
Trivia and other appearances: This 1980 entry marks their last animated short together before a long hiatus, with no new appearances until Little Go Beep in 2000, at least as far as official theatrical shorts go.
Quote: "Okay, wise guys, you Always wanted me to catch him. now what do I do?"

From pole vaulting disasters to tennis mishaps, and even a sticky trap involving flypaper that ends up attracting a massive, monstrous fly, everything backfires spectacularly. In the finale, Wile is sucked into a series of tubes that shrink him down to the size of a toenail. He actually catches Road Runner, but being bite-sized, all he can do is turn to the audience and ask: "Now that I've caught him... what do I do?"
Name and role: The only running gag in the short is Wile's repeated attempts to ride the iconic red Acme rocket. Each time ends in a uniquely explosive failure, even Wile starts to question why he keeps trying it.
Trivia and other appearances: This 1980 entry marks their last animated short together before a long hiatus, with no new appearances until Little Go Beep in 2000, at least as far as official theatrical shorts go.
Quote: "Okay, wise guys, you Always wanted me to catch him. now what do I do?"

Daffy Duck's Thanks-for-Giving Special
Release date: 1981-11-24
Plot: In this TV special, Daffy Duck tries to rename Thanksgiving as "Thanks-For-Giving Day," a celebration of his own contributions to comedy. Hoping to star in a new movie, he pitches the idea to Warner Bros. executive J.L. by showing clips from past classics like Robin Hood Daffy, Drip-Along Daffy, and His Bitter Half. Though skeptical at first, J.L. agrees to screen Duck Dodgers and the Return of the 24 1/2th Century only to suggest a remake afterward, much to Daffy's outrage.
Name and role: Daffy is the undisputed star of the special. With his trademark ego and relentless drive, he sets out to prove his artistic worth and cement his place in animation history. By showcasing classic shorts and pitching a new film, Daffy highlights his versatility and hunger for recognition as a true star.

True to form, Foghorn's first move upon receiving the prize is to check if it's genuine and what it's worth... not exactly the spirit of good sportsmanship.
Trivia and other appearances: Talking sports, are we? Then feast your eyes on Sport Chumpions (1941), Baseball Bugs (1946), and Gone Batty (1954). Still not enough? Then take a shot at Space Jam and its sequel Space Jam: A New Legacy.

Unfortunately for him, he constantly ends up as the victim of Bugs's tricks and Daffy's confusion. Even when he's not hunting, forest animals still find ways to torment poor Elmer.

Name and role: The Maniac is the villain in the horror film being shown at the theater: clearly inspired by Jason from Friday the 13th, a classic of the genre. In the finale, both Daffy and Elmer get sucked into the screen and end up face-to-face with the slasher himself.
Trivia and other appearances: He's not the only masked, chainsaw-wielding enemy in this storyline. Mr. Hitcher, who appears in Tiny Toons: How I Spent My Summer Vacation, can send shivers down your spine too. And remember: don't mention the bacon!

Bugs Bunny's Overtures to Disaster
Release date: 1991-02-14
Plot: The special features Bugs Bunny conducting a classical music concert, completely unaware of a newspaper headline announcing the escape of an experimental fly that can't be killed. As the show unfolds, various Looney Tunes characters perform musical numbers, while the fly wreaks havoc among the audience and performers alike.
Name and role: Bugs Bunny starts off as a refined orchestra conductor, but as the fly situation spirals out of control, he's forced to keep the show afloat by stepping into two of his greatest hits with Elmer: Rabbit of Seville and What's Opera, Doc? Despite his best efforts and impeccable showmanship, it's a losing battle. The tormented audience eventually flees the theater in a buzzing cloud of frustration.
Trivia and other appearances: Bugs appears as an orchestra director twice, channeling the iconic image of maestro Leopold Stokowski in Long-Haired Hare (1949). The sequences where he dons a flashy yellow tuxedo are pulled directly from Baton Bunny (1959), cementing his place as both comic genius and unflappable musical legend... even when upstaged by a mutant fly.

Name and role: Daffy Duck and Porky Pig perform Gioachino Rossini's William Tell Overture, both playing the trumpet. Though Daffy, true to form, immediately grows jealous of Porky's superior skill and literally tries to kill him to avoid being upstaged.
Trivia and other appearances: Daffy here bears a strong resemblance to the Robin Hood version he portrayed back in 1958, but this trumpeter incarnation, with his floppy hat and manic energy, is a one-of-a-kind variation.

Name and role: Daffy Duck and Porky Pig perform Gioachino Rossini's William Tell Overture, the music naturally evokes The Lone Ranger theme, and the short plays into that connection. At the end of the segment, after miraculously surviving Daffy's attacks, Porky asks aloud who the mysterious cowboy summoned by the music might be.
Trivia and other appearances: Daffy and Porky's comedic duo goes all the way back to the 1930s decades, forming one of the longest-standing pairings in Looney Tunes history. But this is one of the rare occasions where Porky taps into real toon power, escaping Daffy's homicidal hijinks without explanation, just pure cartoon logic, no questions asked.

Invasion of the Bunny Snatchers
Release date: 1992-02-01
Plot: In this adventure, Bugs Bunny discovers that his friends Elmer Fudd, Yosemite Sam, and Daffy Duck have been replaced by poorly drawn, overly friendly clones created by alien carrots from outer space. These clones try to recruit Bugs to their side, but he refuses and sets out to rescue the original versions of his friends, ultimately blasting the impostors back into space.
Name and role: The clones serve as a satire of low-quality animation and corporate meddling that has, over time, affected the Looney Tunes characters. They're intentionally animated with crude techniques, like Synchro-Vox, to mock the standardization and loss of personality in modern cartoons.
Trivia and other appearances: Other shorts that explore the theme of characters versus creators include Duck Amuck (1953) and Rabbit Rampage (1955).

Name and role: Bugs takes on the role of the audience's voice. He hates the changes his friends have undergone, this forced sweetness, this inability to think and act like true Looney Tunes. He fully embodies the frustration of the animators behind the short, voicing their feelings about the flattening of character, the loss of mischief, and the erasure of that anarchic spark that once defined the Looney world.

Chariots of Fur
Release date: 1994-12-21
Plot: Yet another chase after the Road Runner packed, as always, with cliffs, explosions, and a generous dose of physical pain.
Name and role: In this short, the Road Runner even manages to outrun ACME lightning itself, proving that his speed defies the laws of nature, and, apparently, Road Runners are very flexible too.
Trivia and other appearances: This was the final short directed by Chuck Jones featuring Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner, marking the end of an era that began in 1949. It also marked the last time Paul Julian provided the iconic vocal effects for the Road Runner before his passing. A cartoon with two quietly heartbreaking farewells.

Name and role: Wile E. Coyote remains undeterred, trying to catch the Road Runner with increasingly ridiculous ACME contraptions: a giant mousetrap that ends up snaring an enormous mouse (who's not amused), a massive spring, an instant ACME road that leads straight into nowhere, a cactus costume, ACME lightning bolts, and a bow that jams, launching absolutely nothing.

Sylvester & Tweety Mysteries
Release date: 1995-09-09
Plot: In 1995, Sylvester and Tweety embarked on a new adventure alongside Granny and Hector in a series that ran for an impressive five seasons called Sylvester & Tweety Mysteries. Almost every 20-minute episode is split into two separate shorts, each revolving around a mystery plot. While Granny solves the crimes, her pets spend most of the time clobbering each other, sometimes even stumbling upon the solution purely by accident. It's also the series with the highest number of obscure cameos in Looney Tunes history that I've ever seen.

Another Froggy Evening
Release date: 1995-10-06
Plot: The short follows Michigan J. Frog through various historical eras, from prehistoric times to a futuristic space age, showing how his presence either influences or completely ruins the life of whoever finds him. In every segment, someone discovers the frog and tries to exploit his singing talent for personal gain, only to end up in disaster when the frog stubbornly refuses to perform in front of an audience.
Name and role: The story culminates with the arrival of Marvin the Martian, who interprets the frog's croaking as a cue to sing, leading to a one-of-a-kind duet in space featuring The Michigan Rag.
Trivia and other appearances: This marks the first and only historic appearance of Marvin alongside the singing frog. However, Michigan J. Frog has had other duets in his quirky career, including with Giovanni Jones and with Tweety and Hector in the Sylvester & Tweety Mysteries episodes "One Froggy Throat" and "Froggone It."

In every segment, someone discovers the frog and tries to exploit his singing talent for personal gain, only to end up in disaster when the frog stubbornly refuses to perform in front of an audience.
Name and role: The caveman in the prehistoric segment is clearly an "ancestor" of the infamous One Froggy Evening Guy, that poor soul. The short never gives him an official name, neither in 1955 nor in 1995. Among fans, he's commonly referred from fans as Froggy Guy, Frog Victim, or simply Ernie. Seeing him in the Stone Age makes it safe to say he's the first in a long ancestral line of unlucky saps doomed to discover the frog and suffer for their greed.
Trivia and other appearances: This unlucky fellow also appears in One Froggy Evening (1955), and makes a brief cameo in the restaurant scene of Looney Tunes: Back in Action, where he captures Michigan J. Frog only to vanish from the film, as mysteriously as he entered.

In every segment, someone discovers the frog and tries to exploit his singing talent for personal gain, only to end up in disaster when the frog stubbornly refuses to perform in front of an audience.
Name and role: Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert were two of the most influential (and famously argumentative!) film critics of the 20th century. With their iconic TV show At the Movies, they popularized a brilliantly simple review system: thumbs up or thumbs down. In the ancient Rome segment, we see them among the audience, using that very same gesture to decide the fate of the Froggy Guy. Classic drama meets pop culture critique.
Trivia and other appearances: Siskel and Ebert make a few more cameo-style appearances in the Looney universe: they pop up in one of the segment in Night Ghoulery from Tiny Toons, as passengers in Animaniacs' "Plane Pals," and most notably, they star in a full parody episode titled Critical Condition, where their signature style gets the full animated tribute treatment.

Marvin the Martian in the Third Dimension
Release date: 1996-06-29
Plot: Marvin the Martian, while scanning the universe for threats, intercepts a transmission from Earth. Unbeknownst to him, it's actually Daffy Duck, in full Duck Dodgers mode, rehearsing lines for a movie. Marvin, misinterpreting the monologue as a declaration of war, springs into action and teleports Daffy straight to Mars.
Name and role: Daffy ends up aboard Marvin the Martian's spaceship, stepping into the familiar role of Duck Dodgers for yet another intergalactic showdown. But could our favorite duck make a normal entrance? Of course not. He's teleported mid-bath, entire tub and all, in the most undignified heroic arrival imaginable.
Trivia and other appearances: Duck Dodgers has made several appearances over the years, including Duck Dodgers in the 24 1/2th Century (1953), Duck Dodgers and the Return of the 24 1/2th Century (1980), Attack of the Drones (2003), Looney Tunes: Back in Action (2003), the Tiny Toons episode "The Return of the Acme Acres Zone," and his very own series, Duck Dodgers, which aired from 2003 to 2005.

Marvin, misinterpreting the monologue as a declaration of war, springs into action and teleports Daffy straight to Mars.
Name and role: In this short, Marvin not only unveils a new Martian gadget (the instant teleporter) which, true to Looney Tunes tradition, is never used again. But Our Martian also becomes the test subject for the franchise's first real experiment with 3D animation in a short. A bold move... that didn't really gain much traction afterward.
Trivia and other appearances: We can see a similar tech leap in Mission to Mars (2005), leading up to the musical shorts and Wile E. Coyote's CG adventures around 2010. And, of course, all of it paved the way, depending on how generous you're feeling, for the full 3D treatment in Space Jam: A New Legacy.

Superior Duck
Release date: 1996-08-23
Plot: Daffy stars as "Superior Duck" a superhero determined to do good but constantly sabotaged by an inept narrator who repeatedly botches the introduction. Throughout the short, various Looney Tunes characters make cameos, while Daffy grows increasingly fed up with the narration. By the end, he's had enough, fires the narrator, and vows to save humanity on his own terms.
Name and role: Here we go again! Yet another of Daffy's desperate attempts to reinvent himself as a heroic alter ego. But it's really a battle of egos, with Daffy clashing nonstop with the narrator: correcting him, interrupting him, even rephrasing what's being said. The narrator tries to give the whole thing a solemn, vintage '50s superhero tone... but come on, Daffy's gonna Daffy.
Trivia and other appearances: Other famous Daffy alter egos include The Scarlet Pumpernickel (1950), Duck Dodgers in the 24 1/2th Century (1953), Stupor Duck (1956), and Robin Hood Daffy (1958).

Throughout the short, various Looney Tunes characters make cameos, while Daffy grows increasingly fed up with the narration. By the end, he's had enough, fires the narrator, and vows to save humanity on his own terms.
Name and role: Here we go again! Yet another of Daffy's desperate attempts to reinvent himself as a heroic alter ego. But it's really a battle of egos, with Daffy clashing nonstop with the narrator: correcting him, interrupting him, even rephrasing what's being said. The narrator tries to give the whole thing a solemn, vintage '50s superhero tone... but come on, Daffy's gonna Daffy.
Trivia and other appearances: Other famous Daffy alter egos include The Scarlet Pumpernickel (1950), Duck Dodgers in the 24 1/2th Century (1953), Stupor Duck (1956), and Robin Hood Daffy (1958).

Name and role: The final Daffy Duck short directed by Chuck Jones (57 years after his directorial debut) becomes a wild farewell party, filled with a flood of gratuitous Looney Tunes cameos. Foghorn Leghorn shows up right as the narrator claims Superior Duck is "faster than a pullet" only for the Southern rooster to barge in, offended. He slams his fist into Daffy's beak and challenges him to duck since he's supposedly so quick. It's southern justice, delivered with feathers and flair.

So much for the mighty duck.

And hey, desperate times... Wile's more than happy to snack on a roadkilled duck if that's what fate offers.

There's Taz, who storms into the short with no cue from the narrator whatsoever. He grumbles "duck burger" tries to eat Daffy, then immediately spits him out, declaring raw duck isn't vegetarian. A bizarre moment even by Tasmanian Devil standards, suggesting he was probably going through something in his personal life.

Name and role: Superman makes the final cameo, appearing in his classic 1950s form: square jaw, red trunks, and all. Just as Daffy proudly declares he'll save the world solo, the real heroes swoop in to reclaim their spotlight, with Superman leading the charge and reminding Daffy where the cape truly belongs.
Trivia and other appearances: Superman has popped up several times in Looney Tunes history. Beyond being a go-to costume worn by just about every character at some point, we saw a parody version called Superguy in Goofy Groceries. He shows up again in Space Jam: A New Legacy, within the DC universe segment, and perhaps most memorably, he actually saves Babs and Buster Bunny in Tiny Toons: How I Spent My Summer Vacation, only to get unceremoniously shooed away afterward. Even the Man of Steel gets no respect in Toonland.

Pullet Surprise
Release date: 1997-03-14
Plot: Pete tries to raid the henhouse guarded by Foghorn Leghorn and soon learns the hard way that this rooster lives for messing with someone dumber than he is. And this time, Pete doesn't just seem dumber: he is.
Name and role: Pete plays the usual gullible fool, which is perfect for Foghorn. Drawing on his past experience with predators like Henery Hawk, Foghorn knows exactly how to handle him: he sends Pete off on a series of wild goose chases (or rather, "rare chickens").
Trivia and other appearances: This short marks the first and only official interaction between Pete and Foghorn in classic Looney Tunes cartoons. However, they make a surprisingly solid comic duo in the film Rabbit Run, based on The Looney Tunes Show, where their chemistry as mismatched buffoons gets a proper spotlight.

Blooper Bunny!
Release date: 1997-06-12
Plot: This short offers a hilarious and satirical behind-the-scenes look at the making of a special celebrating Bugs Bunny's 51st anniversary. In this animated mockumentary, iconic Looney Tunes characters (Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Elmer Fudd, and Yosemite Sam) are getting ready for the big show, but a series of bloopers and technical disasters turns rehearsals into total chaos.
Name and role: Daffy and Elmer are the first to mess things up: Daffy shows up late, complains as usual, then smacks his face on a plank Bugs had clearly marked as dangerous. Mid-rant, one of his curse words gets bleeped, understandably so, since his tantrum was triggered by none other than Elmer bringing a real shotgun instead of a prop!
Trivia and other appearances: This chaotic trio have a long history of comedic mayhem together, starring in iconic classics like Rabbit Fire (1951), Rabbit Seasoning (1952), Duck! Rabbit, Duck! (1953), and the unforgettable Louvre sequence in Looney Tunes: Back in Action.

Bugs: "now can we cut?"

Name and role: Mr. Dynamite Temper himself doesn't care one bit about the bloopers or the chaos. He lounges in his cake like a Western grumpy diva, letting a team of cowgirl stylists powder his face as if he's the highest-paid star on set. We've got to wonder... does Sam have a better agent than the rest of them?
Trivia and other appearances: Sam has been clashing with Bugs since Hare Trigger (1945), so it's only natural to see him show up for the 51st anniversary of his arch-nemesis. Love him or hate him, Sam's earned his spot in Bugs Bunny's rogue's gallery

From Hare to Eternity
Release date: 1997-11-04
Plot: The fearsome pirate Yosemite Sam, lone captain of his ship, is on the hunt for buried treasure. Upon landing on an island, he finds a treasure chest... with none other than Bugs Bunny casually sitting on top of it. This marks the final short directed by Chuck Jones, closing out a legendary career that began all the way back in 1938 with The Night Watchman.
Name and role: In this short, Sam plays the archetypal gruff, blustering pirate, captain of the H.M.S. Friz Freleng, armed with pistols, pride, and absolutely zero chill. Bugs, of course, orchestrates the whole comedic ballet: slipping into mermaid disguises, bursting into operetta songs, and pulling off trick after trick. And the treasure? Just a chest full of carrots. Bugs wins again, as always: with brains, not brawn.
Trivia and other appearances: Looking for more pirate-themed duels between these two? Check out Buccaneer Bunny (1948), Mutiny on the Bunny (1950), and Captain Hareblower (1954). And don't forget the beginning of Daffy Duck's Fantastic Island, where Sam starts as a full-blown pirate and stays in the role all the way through the adventure.

Father of the bird
Release date: 1997-12-21
Plot: Sylvester, hungry and ready for breakfast, stumbles upon a sparrow egg in a nest. Just as he's about to devour it, the egg hatches and out pops a tiny bird who immediately calls him "Mama" Caught off guard and touched by the chick's innocence, Sylvester makes the unthinkable decision: instead of eating it, he decides to take care of it.
Name and role: And that's where the real trouble begins. Because this isn't just about keeping a bird safe, it's about Sylvester surviving too. After all, in a cat's life, there's always a rabid dog lurking around the corner... especially if your name is Sylvester.
Trivia and other appearances: The short is strongly reminiscent of an earlier episode in Sylvester's odd parenting career: A Mouse Divided (1953), where he finds himself the reluctant father of a baby mouse instead.

Little Go Beep
Release date: 1999-12-17
Plot: The young Wile E. Coyote receives a strict education from his father, Cage E. Coyote. Determined to prove his worth, the young coyote throws himself into a series of attempts to catch the little Road Runner. Naturally, every plan ends in hilarious disaster, keeping alive the tradition of the ill-fated Acme inventions.
Name and role: The little Road Runner is already quick and slippery, zipping around with his trademark "Beep Beep!" while tottering on a baby walker. He effortlessly avoids the young coyote's traps, often without even realizing they were there to begin with. It's like baby parkour meets divine intervention.
Trivia and other appearances: If you're looking for other baby-fied versions of our Looney Tunes stars, there's Nasty Quacks (1945), where Daffy gets a baby duckling roommate; Portrait of the Artist as a Young Bunny (1980), which shows a mini Bugs and mini Elmer in a dream sequence; Taz Babies (1992), the fever dream we didn't know we needed; and a cute flashback sequence in The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie (2024), which is all kinds of bonkers in the best way. And of course, there's the whole Baby Looney Tunes series... but let's be honest, we all kind of agreed to collectively pretend that never happened, didn't we?

Name and role: Young Wile E. is already hell-bent on catching the Road Runner, following in his father's pawprints. Despite his tender age, he shows a surprising knack for crafting elaborate traps using gadgets from Acme Jr., including a jack-in-the-box and a water-powered rocket bike.

Determined to prove his worth, the young coyote throws himself into a series of attempts to catch the little Road Runner. Naturally, every plan ends in hilarious disaster, keeping alive the tradition of the ill-fated Acme inventions.
Name and role: Cage E. Coyote makes a brief but memorable appearance at the start of the short. With a stern, commanding tone, he tasks his son with the mission of capturing a Road Runner, and forbids him from speaking until he succeeds. This adds a tongue-in-cheek origin story to Wile E.'s classic silence in the old cartoons. (Of course, that all gets blown to smithereens once you remember he does talk when he's hunting Bugs Bunny... but hey, continuity is a suggestion, not a rule, in cartoon logic.)
Trivia and other appearances: Here's where you can spot other legendary cartoon parents in action: In "A Mynah Problem" (1999), from The Sylvester & Tweety Mysteries series, we meet Sylvester's dad. Over in Wakko's Wish (1999), we get a glimpse of the parents of the Warner siblings. The Whole "Taz-Mania" series show us Hugh an Jean, Taz's parents. In Bugs Bunny Gets the Boid (1942), we meet Beaky Buzzard's adorably overbearing mama. And way, way back in 1936, Porky the Rainmaker introduces us to Phineas Pig, one of the earliest examples of a parental figure in the Looney Tunes universe

Gopher Goofy
A homeowner is enjoying his lovely lawn and garden when it's invaded by a couple of gophers with Brooklyn accents. The homeowner attacks, but the gophers outsmart him at every turn: They duck his hoe and shotgun. He gasses them with helium, and they float away -- causing a crow to throw away his bottle. The inflated gophers hit a tree and fall to earth. The gardener fishes for the gophers under his hat; they substitute a tomato, and he cries, thinking he's squished a gopher. Next, he tries the garden hose; the gophers stop the flow until there's a huge blast of water, which they direct back at the homeowner. He hits the ground and starts burrowing himself, surfacing in his fountain.

In the mess hall, the machine gunners machine gun their food while the bombers catch falling biscuits. The infantry marches for miles - past a "next time, take the train" billboard. The camouflage troops march by, invisibly. We see training substitutes: wooden guns, cars marked "tank" and, alas, a banner marked "parachute" deployed in mid-jump. More training: aerial games (of tic-tac-toe). The anti-aircraft division has target practice, on an aerial shooting gallery. Finally, in an elaborate process, a general provides firing instructions to a big gun; when it hits his own building, he says, "I'm a baaad general."

Thugs with Dirty Mugs
Its subject matter (movie gangsters) is a parody of Warner's famous cycle of crime films starring such actors as James Cagney, Humphrey Bogart, George Raft, and Edward G. Robinson. The lead character here is in fact a caricature of the last named, and the title derives from the studio's own 1938 acclaimed feature film, Angels with Dirty Faces, which starred the first two. It is directed by Tex Avery, and, similar to his later MGM crime/detective-oriented cartoon, Who Killed Who?, the ostensible plot—in this case, gangster Killer Diller goes on a bank-robbing spree and the police attempt to apprehend him—is secondary to a fast and furious series of gags.
