the Big Broadcast of 1938
Release date: 1938-02-18
Plot: The film's plot revolves around a transatlantic race between two luxurious ocean liners, the S.S. Gigantic and the S.S. Colossal. It's a whirlwind of musical numbers, comedy sketches, and outrageous situations, starring a glittering cast that includes W.C. Fields, Martha Raye, Dorothy Lamour, and Bob Hope.
Name and role: One of the film's most fascinating features is the inclusion of an animated segment during the musical number "This Little Ripple Had Rhythm" where a host of cartoon characters make an appearance, including Water Boy. This animated sequence was produced by Leon Schlesinger, the legendary mastermind behind the Looney Tunes. Under his wing emerged the genius of Tex Avery, Bob Clampett, Friz Freleng, Chuck Jones, and Frank Tashlin.
Trivia and other appearances: If you check out Merrie Melodies shorts from that same era, like "Smile, Darn Ya, Smile!" or "Shuffle Off to Buffalo" you'll recognize the same "music-in-motion" style: synchronized gags, bouncing rhythm, and that deliciously surreal blend of sound and squash-and-stretch animation that practically dances off the screen.

She Married a Cop
Release date: 1939-06-30
Plot: Jimmy Duffy, an Irish policeman with a tenor's voice, is played by Phil Regan. During a police ball, Jimmy catches the attention of Linda Fay, a cartoon producer on the hunt for the perfect voice for her new character, "Paddy" Without telling him, she plans to use his voice for an animated pig.
Name and role: Paddy the Pig is a chubby cop, paired here with an unnamed female pig companion. The animated segment in the film was produced by Leon Schlesinger, best known for his work with the Looney Tunes. While not officially a Warner Bros. cartoon, the animation style strongly echoes the Merrie Melodies of the era: anthropomorphic animals, synchronized musical numbers, and that trademark bounce and charm.
Trivia and other appearances: You may have noticed that Paddy is, indeed, a pig. He never appeared again in the Looney Tunes universe. But just a few years earlier, in 1935, Warner Bros. introduced another, much more famous porker in the short I Haven't Got a Hat. You might've heard of him.

Lady Eve
Release date: 1941-02-25
Plot: The shy heir Charles Pike, an expert in snakes and luxury beer, falls for the clever con artist Jean Harrington during an ocean cruise. When he learns her true identity, he leaves her with a broken heart... but she returns with an even craftier plan, posing as the aristocratic "Lady Eve"

Gas
Release date: 1944-01-15

Warner Family Entertainment
Release date: 1992-09-14
Name and role: In the beginning, the Warner shield wasn't synonymous with cartoons, it was just a standard corporate film logo. Warner Bros. was founded in 1923 by the Warner brothers, and the "WB" shield was simply an elegant way to brand their films.

In the 1990s, thanks to Bugs Bunny's skyrocketing popularity, Warner Bros. introduced the Warner Bros. Family Entertainment logo. This version featured Bugs Bunny in a tuxedo, casually leaning on the WB shield, solidifying his role as the studio's official mascot.
Trivia and other appearances: Bugs accompanying the Warner shield was a tradition that lasted from 1992 to 2011.

Complicating matters, Oswald moves up the wedding date, making it more urgent for Kate to find a way to break the news to him. Meanwhile, Lewis Kiniski forces Oswald and Drew Carey to reconcile after a falling out.
Name and role: What does Daffy Duck have to do with this plot, or with The Drew Carey Show? Absolutely nothing! Except for the opening sequence, where Daffy, looking for a job, barges into Drew's office and causes his usual brand of chaos. A unique and wonderful live-action/animation cameo.
Trivia and other appearances: No other Looney Tune has ever appeared in a TV series as themselves, making this a one-of-a-kind gem.

Trivia and other appearances: As in Justice League: The New Frontier (2008), this is one of those cameos where an original Looney character doesn't appear directly, but another character transforms into them.

Cartoon Network Bumper
Release date: 2004-06-14
Plot: Cartoon Network used to mix the stars of their cartoons in promotional bumpers, creating unique and never-before-seen interactions. It was a wonderful way to build a shared universe between all their animated characters.
Name and role: In this bumper, Flash steps out of a store and locks eyes with Road Runner, immediately, a race begins. The two zoom past Speedy, who joins the competition. After what we can only assume is an unfathomable amount of time, the three are exhausted but tied. So, naturally... the endless race starts all over again.
Trivia and other appearances: The Looney Tunes have shared the screen with DC characters many times, like Superman in Tiny Toons: How I Spent My Vacation or Stupor Duck. Other crossovers include The Green Loontern, Batman's frequent cameos in Animaniacs, and the whole DC Universe showing up in Space Jam: A New Legacy.

Warner Bros. 100th Anniversary
Release date: 2023-10-14
Plot: In the finale, Daffy Duck ends up in the same matching superhero jumpsuit as the Teen Titans and the other guest stars, a generic "WB hero uniform" that flattens everyone into the same brand-approved silhouette. That visual punchline hits especially hard on Daffy, who spends the whole special acting like the real headliner of Warner Bros., only to be literally costumed as "just another hero" in a crowd shot.
Name and role: In a twist that feels almost wrong on a spiritual level, Bugs Bunny is technically present at the centennial party... but he's not really the star of it. He shows up as one of the VIP Looney guests on the lot when Michigan starts his plan. Bugs shows some muscle ready to fight back but get instantly erased with the rest of the cast
Trivia and other appearances: Daffy has a long history of superhero alter egos, so this final-suit moment plays like a little roll call of past capes: in Stupor Duck (1956) he's a full-on Superman parody as Stupor Duck/Cluck Trent. In Duck Dodgers he nicks Hal Jordan's uniform and ring to become the Green Loontern. And then again a unmasked reference to Superman in the very Metropolis setting in Space Jam II

Name and role: Here Michigan J. Frog is promoted from cult character and ex-network mascot to full-on main villain: after being mistakenly kicked off the guest list, he hijacks the WB shield, shatters it, and literally wipes out most of the lot in revenge. In the climax he faces off against the Titans and their oddball allies, including the Brain Gremlin, whose high-tech mecha; the fight becomes a clash between two very different Warner icons: an old vaudeville amphibian and a hyper-articulate monster from Gremlins 2.
Trivia and other appearances: It's not even the first time he's been cast as a villain: he'd already been used antagonistically in the Tiny Toon Adventures episode "The Wide World of Elmyra"

Name and role: At the very end, the episode recreates the classic Looney Tunes closing, Porky popping out of the black screen to say "That's all, folks!" only for the moment to be hijacked by Beast Boy, who has shapeshifted into a green pig and effectively steals the send-off from him.
Trivia and other appearances: Porky's "That's all, folks!" iris-out has been the canonical Warner Bros. curtain call since the 1930s, and he even gets to close Who Framed Roger Rabbit that way, only to have Tinker Bell swoop in immediately afterward and wipe the screen with her pixie dust stealing in fact the role of last character seen.

Warner Bros. 100th Anniversary
Release date: 2023-10-14
Plot: The Teen Titans are working security on the Warner Bros. studio lot during the 100th anniversary party when Michigan J. Frog steals a magical WB shield, shatters it, and accidentally wipes out the studio and most of its characters. To fix the mess, the Titans team up with guests like Daffy Duck, Yogi Bear, Gizmo and the Brain Gremlin to recover the scattered shield pieces across different Warner worlds and restore the lot before it's gone for good.
Name and role: In this special, Daffy Duck is basically a co-lead alongside Robin: Robin handles the mission like a hyper-serious studio cop, while Daffy barges in as the loud, self-proclaimed "real star" of Warner Bros., insisting on tagging along to save the lot. Daffy's chaos constantly undercuts Robin's control-freak plans, turning their partnership into a running joke about corporate mascots versus caped heroes, with the duck hogging screen time and Robin trying (and failing) to keep it professional.
Trivia and other appearances: This episode is one of the clearest official mash-ups of Looney Tunes and DC on TV, and Daffy has already worn a superhero mantle once before as the Green Loontern in the Duck Dodgers episode of the same name (2003)

Name and role: During the anniversary party sequences, Taz and Raven are briefly seen side by side, both spinning in their own trademark ways: Taz as a literal tornado of teeth and fur, Raven as a levitating, cloaked cyclone of magic.
Trivia and other appearances: Tasmanian Devil (Taz) has been the Looney Tunes franchise's resident spinning disaster since his debut in Devil May Hare (1954) Pairing him visually with Raven from Titans Go! is a strange but funny choice.

Name and role: During the WB studio tour, Yosemite Sam, Foghorn Leghorn and while get one of the most overt sitcom related reference: on a stage styled after the iconic Central Perk from Friends, they start arguing over who is "a Rachel"
Trivia and other appearances: It's one of the relatively rare times Yosemite Sam and Foghorn Leghorn are paired as a proper comedy duo; historically they tend to co-exist only in large ensemble pieces, or in curiosities like the Jonah Hex/Yosemite Sam Special, where Foghorn turns up as Sam's boxing associate in a DC/Looney crossover comic rather than in animation.

Trivia and other appearances: Bugs taking a back seat here is unusual if you line it up with previous anniversary projects, where he was absolutely front and center: Bugs Bunny/Looney Tunes All-Star 50th Anniversary (1986) and Happy Birthday Bugs: 50 Looney Years (1990)
