Slappy Squirrel


1932-02-10 Cave Girl Slappy
Release date: 1932-02-10
Plot: Plot: Slappy Squirrel wreaks havoc in prehistory with a barrage of hand grenades and whacks.
Name and role: Slappy's metafictional debut in the world of Looney Tunes. The prehistoric version has always been a classic trope in these kinds of shorts.
Trivia and other appearances: A new, non-canonical episode, this time starring Slappy. She only ever mentions it in a throwaway line during the 90s Animaniacs series, but in the true spirit of mischief, we decide to believe the legend and shove it right into the timeline. If Slappy says it happened, then by gum, it did.


1936-06-24 Nutty Nurse
Release date: 1936-06-24
Plot: Slappy and Suzy are two nurses ready to stir up trouble in a hospital in Pasadena. We don't really have much more information about this meta-narrative short.
Name and role: This is yet another story of Slappy Squirrel reminiscing about her golden years in the Looney Tunes. For this short, we only have the poster. As far as their roles go, all we know is that in this hypothetical cartoon, both Suzy and Slappy were dressed as nurses, complete with pink uniforms and some truly unsettling medical props.
Trivia and other appearances: As we know, Slappy Squirrel continues her career in Animaniacs as a main character. As for Suzy, well, besides her existence in the meta-narrative, she only appears in episode 97 of Animaniacs, 'The Sunshine Squirrel.


1999-12-21 Wakko's Wish
Release date: 1999-12-21
Plot: Wakko, Yakko, and Dot set out to find a magical wishing star that can grant one wish. Their quest takes them across the snowy kingdom of Acme Falls, which has fallen under the greedy rule of King Salazar. Along the way, they're joined by the rest of the Animaniacs cast in a wild, heartfelt race for hope, laughter, and a better future.
Name and role: What would Slappy wish for? The cranky retired Looney just wants peace and quiet. By summer's end, Skippy has new squirrel friends, and she finally gets to enjoy the silence. Not exactly rocket science.
