A filmography of studio's animated shorts of approximately 850 films,produced for theatrical release between 1931 and 1969.The cartoons released by Warner Brothers were the fastest, funniest and most popular cartoons ever made in America.
Animation directors such as Charles M. (Chuck) Jones,Robert Clampett,Isadore (Fritz) Freleng, Frank Tashlin,Fred (Tex) Avery,Hugh Harman,Art Davis amongst others.The animators behind these names were the best in the business,and such talents as Rod Scribner,Emery Hawkins,Virgil Ross,Bobo Cannon and Ken Harris etc.,did their best work for this Studio.
Providing the laughs was the Warners story department,loaded with comic geniuses like Warren Foster,Michael Maltese,Tedd Pierce,Tubby Millar,Lou Lilly,Ernest Gee,Jack Miller,Richard Hogan,and others over the years,who helped to create a galaxy of cartoon stars: Daffy Duck,Porky Pig,the Roadrunner and Wile E. Coyote,Yosemite Sam,Speedy Gonzales,Elmer Fudd, Tweety Pie,Foghorn Leghorn,Pepe Le Pew,and the incredibly prolific Sylvester,as well as perhaps one of the three most popular characters in the world,Bugs Bunny - almost all of which were portrayed vocally by Mel Blanc,undoubtedly the most versatile voice artist in history.
