90 Classic Looney Tunes Cartoons You Tin Watch Right Now
On April 17, 1930, the very kickoff Warner Bros. Looney Tunes cartoon, "Sinkin' in the Bathtub," was released. From the start, the Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies animated shorts were designed every bit a more iconoclastic alternative to Disney's artistically groundbreaking Dizzy Symphonies. While Walt Disney was focused on elevating the fine art of blitheness, Warner Bros.' dream team of writers and directors were hell-bent on but making each other express joy. "They never went for the cute stuff at Warners," Warner Bros. author Michael Maltese recalled in an interview with Joe Adamson that appeared in Film Comment. "In that location was simply ane guy … Chuck [Jones], at the time, had the Disney syndrome: the urge to make the well-nigh beautiful cartoons going. [Friz] Freleng would say, 'Ah, bullshit! Let's knock 'em expressionless.'"
On this 90th anniversary, here is a sampling of 90 of the looniest and merriest cartoons in the Warner Bros. catechism, including a top 10 of essential masterworks. Over i,000 were produced, so I'1000 bound to have missed a classic or two. Ain't I a stinker?
(Acquittance to the essential tomes: Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies , by Jerry Beck & Volition Friedwald; Of Mice and Magic: A History of American Blithe Cartoons , by Leonard Maltin; and Bugs Bunny: L Years and Just One Grey Hare , by Joe Adamson. Thank you besides to the Gilbert Gottfried's Amazing Colossal Listener Society Facebook group).
"Sinkin' in the Bathtub" (1930, Hugh Harman, Rudolf Ising)
A tardy jalopy emerging from an outhouse immediately distinguishes Warner Bros.' offset Looney Tunes cartoon from its Disney counterparts. The plucky Bosko is peradventure early animation's least offensive black grapheme. He would star in 39 more than cartoons.
"It'southward Got Me Again!" (1932, Ising)
A bunch of Mickey-similar rodents' midnight dance is broken up by a true cat, who gets it in the end. The first Warner Bros. cartoon to earn an Oscar nomination.
"I Haven't Got a Hat" (1935, I. Freleng)
Porky Sus scrofa makes his screen debut stuttering his way through "The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere" during a grade recital, but it'south the 40 seconds of adorable pups Ham and Ex performing the title tune that is everything I dearest about Warner Bros. cartoons.
"Page Miss Glory" (1936, Tex Avery)
A good cartoon gets not bad at the 1:50 marker as a Hicksville hotel bellhop pending the inflow of Miss Glory fantasizes his burg is transformed into a cosmopolitan playground in a spectacular "Moderne Art" sequence.
"I Love to Singa" (1936, Avery)
It's The Jazz Vocalizer in eight minutes. With Owls. Cartman broke into the championship tune whenever he was zapped by an conflicting ray in the very start episode of South Park.
"Porky'south Romance" (1937, Tashlin)
Diva Petunia Pig breaks Porky's heart, but a nightmare scenario of his future should he marry her prompts a change of attitude.
"She Was an Acrobat's Daughter" (1937, Freleng)
This drove of spot gags captures an one-time-fashioned nighttime at the movies complete with newsreel, sing-along, and the main attraction, a spoof of The Petrified Forest.
"Porky's Duck Hunt" (1937, Avery)
Daffy Duck makes a big splash in his debut. "Hey, that wasn't in the script," complains Porky to the duck that's been bedeviling him for most of the cartoon. "Don't let it worry you, Skipper," he whoops. "I'm just a crazy, darn fool duck."
"Porky'southward Railroad" (1937, Tashlin)
It's the 30th Century Limited versus "Toots," the little engine that barely could. Dramatic angles and odd perspectives keep this i chugging along.
"Speaking of the Weather" (1937, Tashlin)
Drugstore magazines come up to life after-hours with literal characterizations of their titles. Thus, a miscreant is sentenced to Life but escapes through Liberty with other magazine figures in hot pursuit.
"The Case of the Stuttering Pig" (1937, Tashlin)
Warner Bros. played upward the fact that its cartoons were going to be screened in movie theaters. In this pigs-in-peril thriller, Porky, Petunia, and Porky's brothers try to elude their evil lawyer trying to claim their inheritance. Information technology'southward the guy in the third row of the theater to the rescue.
"Daffy Duck & Egghead" (1938, Avery)
"I'm not crazy. I just don't give a darn," Daffy whoops. Notable for his lively rendition of the Looney Tunes theme song, "The Merry-Go-Round Broke Downward."
"Katnip Kollege" (1938, Cal Howard, Cal Dalton)
Johnny'due south an outcast until he learns how to swing. James Taylor loved this drawing growing up and finally recorded its showstopper song, "As Piece of cake As Rolling Off a Log," for his most contempo album, American Standard.
"Cinderella Meets Fella" (1938, Avery)
All I know nearly vaudevillian Joe Penner is that his big catchphrase was "Wanna buy a duck?" But he was popular enough to be caricatured as Egghead in this and other Warner Bros. cartoons.
"Daffy Duck in Hollywood" (1938, Avery)
Warner Bros. cartoons were meta before meta was a thing. Daffy runs amuck on a movie-studio set, simply is sure to give his studio a plug. "I've got an option coming up," he explains.
"Hamateur Dark" (1939, Avery)
That'south Avery's laugh emanating from the hippo in the audition who constantly breaks upwards amateur night at the Warner Bros. theater.
"Daffy Duck and the Dinosaur" (1939, Chuck Jones)
Setting this cartoon in the Stone Age ("for no reason") gave the writers the leeway to do something Disney would never dare: actually kill off one of its major drawing stars.
"Thugs With Dirty Mugs" (1939, Avery)
Spot gags pay off in this spoof of Warner Bros. gangster films. Bank robber Killer sounds a lot like "Eddie Robinson," and he can't help showing off his radio star Fred Allen imitation to the audience.
" Onetime Glory " (1939, Jones)
Something new has been added: rotoscoping to bring to life personages and events from American history to inspire Porky to learn the Pledge of Fidelity. Akin to a "Very Special Episode" of Merrie Melodies.
"The Hardship of Miles Standish" (1940, Freleng)
Elmer Fudd stars in a rare heroic part as John Alden in this retelling of the courtship between Priscilla and Miles Standish. Brace yourself for the inevitable Cleveland Indians sight gag.
"You Ought to Be in Pictures" (1940, Freleng)
Daffy goes Eve Harrington on Porky, convincing him to quit cartoons for feature films, thus paving his way to A-listing condition. An impressive early blend of live action and animation that features a cameo by cartoon producer Leon Schlesinger.
"Tom Thumb in Problem" (1940, Jones)
Rather than satirize Disney cartoons, Jones emulated them with this mostly played-straight telling of the Grimm brothers fairy tale that includes a dramatic snowstorm rescue and tear-jerking reconciliation.
"Bedtime for Sniffles" (1940, Jones)
Sniffles, perhaps the most Disney-esque graphic symbol in the Warner Bros. stable, desperately tries to stay awake on Christmas Eve to see Santa.
"Joe Glow, the Firefly" (1941, Jones)
Another Jones Disneyesque charmer about a firefly exploring the mural of a sleeping camper's tent.
"Porky'southward Preview" (1941, Avery)
Porky is hosting the premiere of his new cartoon that he made himself. It's five cents for admission, but a skunk can't get in because he has but i "cent." (Become information technology?)
"Hollywood Steps Out" (1941, Avery)
Once again, the celebrity caricatures are abreast the point. If you lot don't know who Ann "the Oomph Girl" Sheridan, Sally Rand, or Sonja Henie are, there are plenty more recognizable gilt-age Hollywood icons on hand. Clark Gable steals every scene he walks through. ("Stick around, folks. This ought to be proficient.")
"Hiawatha'southward Rabbit Chase" (1941, Freleng)
After Bugs gets the all-time of the mighty warrior throughout this Oscar-nominated drawing, Hiawatha gets the last laugh. The rabbit-stew scene gets a reprise in "What's Cookin,' Doc?"
"Wabbit Twouble" (1941, Bob Clampett)
Elmer Fudd is looking forward to "west and welaxation" (one of his well-nigh quoted lines) in Jellostone National Park. Thanks to Bugs, it is annihilation only a "westful wetweat."
"The Wabbit Who Came to Supper" (1942, Freleng)
Elmer Fudd inherits $3 million, merely he doesn't go ane ruddy cent if he harms whatsoever animals — particularly rabbits. This is Bugs at his almost goading.
"Horton Hatches the Egg" (1942, Clampett)
Faithful to Dr. Seuss'due south dearest book 100 percent.
"The Dover Boys at Pimento Academy or the Rivals of Roquefort Hall" (1942, Jones)
This was the "Like a Rolling Rock" of cartoons: a radical difference that clocked in at an extended 9 minutes. So revered in animation circles is Jones'south stylized homage to the American melodrama that, in 2018, 90 animators collaborated on a remake: each of their contributions animated in their ain styles.
"A Tale of Two Kitties" (1942, Clampett)
Babbit and Catstello (Abbott and Costello caricatures) go after a "poor trivial eensy-weensy, itsy-bitsy caught little bird. They don't know him very well, exercise they? Introducing Tweety, whose "I tawt I saw a putty tat" became his instant catchphrase.
"My Favorite Duck" (1942, Jones)
Just as Bugs relentlessly spoiled Elmer'south wistful wetweat in "Wabbit Twouble," Daffy takes not bad delight in foiling Porky Grunter'due south camping ground trip. Just unlike Bugs, Daffy gets what'due south coming to him, which is how that usually goes.
"Pigs in a Polka" (1943, Freleng)
This cartoon and Allan Sherman's musical parody "Hungarian Goulash" introduced generations to Brahm's "Hungarian Dances," which provides the musical accompaniment to this retelling of "The Iii Niggling Pigs."
"Tortoise Wins by a Hare" (1943, Clampett)
An uncharacteristically bitter and vindictive Bugs challenges the tortoise to a rematch after losing the race dorsum in Avery's "Tortoise Beats Hare" in 1941. It'south rare to see Bugs and so desperate and defeated. The cease is peculiarly vehement and dark.
"Greetings Bait" (1943, Freleng)
Here'due south all you need to know about the mustached worm in this Oscar-nominated cartoon. He is a caricature of comedian Jerry Colonna, who was best known as a foil for Bob Hope on his radio show and in his films. His catchphrases were "Greetings, Gate" and "Isn't it?," as in "Fascinating, isn't it?"
"Wackiki Wabbit" (1943, Jones)
2 castaways notice refuge on an island and food in the class of Bugs Bunny, who manages to go on them at bay. This is the 1 with the enduring image of the ravenous castaways imagining each other every bit a hot dog and hamburger.
"Porky Grunter's Feat" (1943, Tashlin)
Daffy and Porky together once again, but this time working in tandem to outwit the manager of the Broken Arms Hotel, who blocks their exit until their nib. A Bugs Bunny cameo represents the first time all three Warner Bros. cartoon stars shared the screen.
"A Corny Concerto" (1943, Clampett)
Gweetings, music lovers. What this glorious Fantasia parody lacks in gravitas or tutu-wearing hippos, it more than makes up for in transgressive gags in the Bugs Bunny segment.
"What'due south Cookin,' Dr.?" (1944, Clampett)
Bugs Bunny had withal to exist acknowledged by the Motion picture Academy. So on Oscar night when he loses Best Thespian to James Cagney, he declares "sabotage" and demands a recount.
"Swooner Crooner" (1944, Tashlin)
How ya gonna keep 'em down on the farm after they've heard "Frankie"?
"Aeroplane Daffy" (1944, Tashlin)
Can Daffy Duck resist the charms of voluptuous spy Mata Hari, or will he be coerced into revealing a military secret? Turns out "Hitler is a stinker" is no hugger-mugger.
"The Old Gray Hare" (1944, Clampett)
In the yr 2000, old codger Elmer finally gets his rabbit. "I can't believe it," coughs Bugs in his dramatic, tear-jerking expiry scene. But flashbacks to their offset run into as babies anticipate the same-as-information technology-e'er-was reversal of burial fortunes.
"Stage Door Drawing" (1944, Freleng)
Elmer chases Bugs Bunny into a vaudeville house, where Bugs tricks Elmer into a series of onstage embarrassments. Mel Blanc debuts his Yosemite Sam voice in the character of a sheriff.
"Odor-able Kitty" (1945, Jones)
A put-upon cat disguises himself as a skunk to avoid existence kicked effectually by humans. Enter a skunk with an outrageous French accent whose amorous advances will not be denied. This would be the only fourth dimension that Pepé Le Pew chased a male true cat.
"The Unruly Hare" (1945, Tashlin)
Bugs Bunny throws railroad surveyor Elmer off-rail in 1 of their funnier outings.
"Life With Feathers" (1945, Freleng)
"Sufferin' succotash! Squab!" Sylvester makes an indelible first impression in his Oscar-nominated debut as a dumpster-diving cat who resists a dejected lovebird's attempts to get Sylvester to eat him.
"A Gruesome Twosome" (1946, Clampett)
This is Tweety turned up to 11 as "the naked genius" brings a earth of hurting to ii cats pitted confronting each other by a feline who tells them, "Whoever brings me a little bird can be my fella."
"Baseball Bugs" (1946, Freleng)
Information technology'due south Bugs Bunny versus the vehement Gas-House Gorillas. When it comes to baseball gags, from a literally screaming line drive to the free-swinging Gorillas' conga line effectually the diamond, this i covers all the bases (sad).
"Hair-Raising Hare" (1946, Jones)
Bugs Bunny is at his wisecracking Groucho Marx best equally he outwits an evil scientist's monster. Includes ane of his most quoted gambits, and he impersonates a manicurist to distract the animate being: "You lot monsters atomic number 82 such innteresting lives."
"The Great Piggy Bank Robbery" (1946, Clampett)
Daffy Duck gets and then excited over the latest "Dick Tracy" comic book that he knocks himself out and dreams he's Duck Twacy. Striking imagery and dramatic angles conjure up such fearsome foes equally Jukebox Jaw, Snake Optics, 88 Teeth, Hammerhead, Pumpkinhead, and more.
"Walky Talky Hawky" (1946, Robert McKimson)
A star is hatched. Foghorn Leghorn makes his Oscar-winning debut equally a chicken who uses young chicken militarist Henery Militarist in his feud with the barnyard dog.
"Racketeer Rabbit" (1946, Freleng)
Bugs's all-time gangster picture finds him holed upwards in the hideout of Rocky and his henchman, Hugo (caricatures of Edward Yard. Robinson and Peter Lorre). By the time Bugs is through with him, Rocky volition be begging for the police force to take him.
"The Large Snooze" (1946, Clampett)
Finally fed upwards with Bugs getting the best of him in all these cartoons, Elmer tears up his Warner Bros. contract. "From at present on, it'southward fishin' for me, and no more wabbits." But Bugs intends to rock his dream gunkhole and get the act back together.
"Rhapsody Rabbit" (1946, Freleng)
"Franz Liszt? Never heard of him." In an uncharacteristic bit of office reversal, Bugs Bunny gets upstaged by a mouse loose in his piano.
"Tweetie Pie" (1947, Freleng)
Tweety achieves what Porky, Daffy, or fifty-fifty Bugs Bunny couldn't: win the Academy Honour. This is his get-go pairing with Sylvester (here called Thomas).
"Slick Hare" (1947, Freleng)
In one of Warner Bros.' very all-time Hollywood cartoons, Humphrey Bogart wants fried rabbit and gives waiter Elmer Fudd only 20 minutes to bring it.
"Back Alley Oproar" (1948, Freleng)
Perhaps Sylvester's finest seven minutes as his late-dark caterwauling keeps an wearied Elmer Fudd awake.
"Rabbit Dial" (1948, Jones)
As in "Baseball Bugs," Bugs's heckling pits him against a fearsomely big opponent. Things look rocky until Bugs employs a little "stragedy" in a series of knockout (you lot saw that i coming) gags.
"Bugs Bunny Rides Once more" (1948, Freleng)
Yosemite Sam was introduced in "Hare Trigger" in 1945 as "the meanest, toughest, rip-roarin'-est, Edward Everett Horton–est hombre that ever packed a six-shooter." And that pretty much sums him up: All he's ever going to be is mean. In his sophomore appearance, Bugs will have to make like Gary Cooper to run him out of town.
"Haredevil Hare" (1948, Jones)
Anticipating the 1950s sci-fi nail, Jones introduces one of the WB universe's most popular supporting characters, Marvin the Martian (a.k.a. Commander Ten-2), who is all gear up to blow up World.
"Scaredy True cat" (1948, Jones)
And so deep was the Warners bench that its cartoon characters could exist paired in fun ways. This was the get-go of three cartoons to squad Sylvester, "a yellow dog of a cowardly cat," and Porky, his unwitting master oblivious to the perils and — thank you to Sylvester — narrow escapes from death.
"High Diving Hare" (1949, Freleng)
I'grand a sucker for obscure pop-civilization references. When Yosemite Sam encounters a door atop a high diving platform, he pounds "Open up upward that door" then turns to the audience and adds, "Ya notice I didn't say 'Richard?'" Google it.
"Long-Haired Hare" (1949, Jones)
"Of course you lot realize this means war" when opera vocalizer Giovanni Jones breaks Bugs's banjo, harp, and tuba. Bugs literally brings the business firm downward as he sabotages Jones's performance.
"For Scent-imental Reasons" (1949, Jones)
Hither is the essence of the indefatigable Pepé Le Pew. When the feline object of his passions locks herself in a perfume store's drinking glass instance to escape him, he dejectedly produces a gun and threatens suicide. When she hears an off-screen shot and runs to him, he grabs her in his arms. "I missed," he coos, "fortunately for you." For this, he earned his well-deserved Oscar.
"Rabbit Hood" (1949, Jones)
"Don't you lot worry. Never fear. Robin Hood will soon be here." Just not before Bugs Bunny gets the all-time of the Sheriff of Nottingham later on poaching the King's carrots. Errol Flynn himself makes a final-second cameo courtesy of The Adventures of Robin Hood.
"The Scarlet Pumpernickel" (1950, Jones)
"Funny, that never happened to Errol Flynn." Daffy, desperate for a dramatic role, pitches Warner Bros. studio caput "J.L." on his accommodation of Dumas's swashbuckling adventure. Elmer Fudd, Sylvester, and Porky turn up in supporting roles.
"What'south Up, Doc?" (1950, McKimson)
Bugs shares his life story to the Disassociated Press about his showbiz ascension from member of the chorus to vaudeville star Elmer Fudd's scene-stealing partner. The "chorus" number looms nearly as large in the Bugs Bunny canon every bit "Overture, Curtain, Lights" from The Bugs Bunny Show.
"Functioning: Rabbit" (1952, Jones)
Far from the hapless pursuer of roadrunners in "Fast and Furry-ous," this incarnation of Wile Eastward. Coyote is an brainy predator who intends to consume Bugs. "Now don't effort to become away," he cautions. "I am more muscular, more cunning, faster, and larger than y'all are, and I'g a genius." He don't know Bugs very well, do he?
"Much Ado Near Nutting" (1953, Jones)
The characterwork and the comic timing are exquisite as an ambrosial squirrel tries in vain to crevice a globe-size nut.
"Bully for Bugs" (1953, Jones)
Having failed to accept "that left turn at Albuquerque," Bugs finds himself in a bullring from which he is unceremoniously ejected by a bull'due south headbutt. Some other declaration of war. The bull'due south reactions to Bugs's various and increasingly elaborate paybacks are priceless.
"Devil May Hare" (1954, McKimson)
Every bit far as nemeses go, the Tasmanian Devil isn't much of a worthy foil for Bugs, simply in his debut cartoon, he does make a whirling, snarling, and raging get-go impression as a "strong, moiderous beast … with a ravenous ambition."
"Bugged Bunny" (1954, Jones)
The cackling Witch Hazel (an uncredited June Foray) turns her attention from Hansel and Gretel to making rabbit stew. Bugs'south last line after she has been transformed into a voluptuous bunny ("I know, but aren't they all witches inside?") hasn't aged well.
"Speedy Gonzales" (1955, Freleng)
"The fastest mouse in all United mexican states" makes his official Oscar-winning debut. With his yellow sombrero and exaggerated Mexican accent, nosotros may be entering Apu territory here. Proceed at your own sensitivity.
"Ali Baba Bunny" (1957, Jones)
Billed as a Bugs Bunny cartoon, merely Daffy Duck steals the bear witness when an Arabian treasure trove enflames his most avaricious instincts. "Mine, mine, mine," he proclaims. "I'm rich! I'm wealthy! I'thousand comfortably well off! This is the one with "Hassan chop."
"Birds Anonymous" (1957, Freleng)
Tweety's second Oscar-winning outing finds Sylvester joining a support group to kick his Tweety-bird habit. But "once a bad ol' putty tat, always a bad ol' putty tat."
"Show Biz Bugs" (1957, Freleng)
The essence of the Bugs-Daffy relationship, as Daffy revolts at being billed second to Bugs. These are the acts of an increasingly desperate duck.
"Robin Hood Daffy" (1958, Jones)
One of the all-time cartoons in which Daffy undermines his own attempts to be a dashing hero, and one of Porky Pig's funniest as he heckles all of Daffy'due south ill-fated attempts to convince him he is indeed Robin Hood.
"Knighty Knight Bugs" (1958, Freleng)
Court jester Bugs is dispatched to defeat the Black Knight (Yosemite Sam) and repossess the Singing Sword. This earned Bugs Bunny his lone Oscar, which is kind of like Al Pacino getting his statue for Aroma of a Woman.
"High Note" (1960, Jones)
This Oscar-winning cartoon charts a sobriety-challenged sheet-music musical annotation's efforts to get through a performance of "The Blue Danube." Jones gets more personality out of his blithe musical notes than many directors do with their human casts.
x. "Porky in Wackyland" (1938, Clampett)
"Information technology can happen here," and does, as Porky pursues the endangered Exercise-Do Bird to Wackyland (population: 100 nuts and a squirrel). Truly the ultimate trip, and ane of four Warner Bros. cartoons inducted into the National Flick Registry of "historically, culturally, or aesthetically significant" films. Just four?
9. "Duck Dodgers in the 24 ½thursday Century" (1952, Jones)
The battle for Planet 10 is on between Duck Dodgers and Marvin the Martian. This is one of Daffy's all-time foiled-hero roles. As Jones once told the Los Angeles Times, "I call back nosotros'd all similar to be like Bugs, but we find nosotros're really more than similar Daffy. Daffy rushes in and fears to tread at the same time." Porky, as his eager infinite cadet, gets the all-time lines.
8. "A Wild Hare" (1940, Avery)
How to get to Bugs Bunny in four easy toons. Technically, that is a rabbit in "Porky'south Duck Hunt," "Hare-um Scare-um," "Prest-O Modify-O," and "Elmer's Candid Camera," but information technology'southward basically only Daffy Duck in hare'due south clothing, a mere screwball. This is the cartoon that established the Bugs-Elmer dynamic and Bugs'southward trickster personality. Mel Blanc's iconic phonation characterization, "What'southward up, Doc?," gave Bugs his Brooklyn brass.
7. "Rabbit of Seville" (1950, Jones)
A friend of mine's wife is a classical musician, and if the mood or the vino strikes her, she will perform Bugs'south opening aria ("Welcome to my shop / Permit me cut your mop / Let me shave your crop! / Daintily, daintily!"). This is how near of us were first exposed to Rossini'due south opera. The hair-raising gags build to a reductio-ad-absurdum climax in which an arms race of escalatingly deadly weaponry somehow becomes an impromptu hymeneals ceremony between Bugs and Elmer.
vi. "Feed the Kitty" (1952, Jones)
This lesser-known Jones classic is as irresistible as the sugariness fiddling kitten who melts ferocious bulldog Marc Antony'southward heart. Antony just cannot be stern with the adorably affectionate feline and, forbidden to bring "one single solitary matter" into the house, attempts to hide him. Antony's gamut of emotions, from horror to heartbreak, when he thinks his new friend has accidentally been broiled into a cookie, and the bliss when the cat emerges unharmed, are a chief form of personality animation.
5. "Little Cherry Riding Rabbit" (1944, Freleng)
One of Bugs Bunny's apartment-out funniest cartoons, thanks in large part to Bea Benaderet'due south brassy and earsplitting accept on Little Red Riding Hood, who's taking a little bunny rabbit for her grandmother "ta have." The wolf is all in on playing out the fairy tale until he gets sight of Bugs in the basket and then it'south all he tin do to shuffle Cherry-red out the door.
4. "Rabbit Burn down" (1951) / "Rabbit Seasoning" (1952) / "Duck! Rabbit, Duck!" (1953, Jones)
Otherwise known as "the hunting trilogy." Bugs Bunny gets summit billing, but these are really two-handers between Bugs and Daffy. Each is a variation on a theme: Rabbit season versus duck season, with innumerable ways for the "despicable" Bugs to arrange for Elmer to shoot Daffy in the face. All are hilarious and incessantly quotable, but I'd give the edge to "Rabbit Seasoning" simply for the "He doesn't take to shoot me at present" exchange, in which Daffy discovers the root of all the confusion: "Pronoun trouble."
three. "Duck Amuck" (1953, Jones)
Just because y'all're not paranoid doesn't hateful no one is afterwards you. Simply Daffy is paranoid every bit an unseen animator mucks upward every heroic scenario for the hapless duck who pleads with his tormentor to "live and permit live." Just his tormentor (guess who?) is a existent stinker. It besides is in the National Flick Registry.
2. "What's Opera, Doc?" (1957, Jones)
"It is so lamentable," Elaine Benes says to Jerry in the Seinfeld episode "The Opera." "All your knowledge of high culture comes from Bugs Bunny cartoons." Acknowledge it: When you hear Wagner's Ride of the Valkyries, you don't think of the epic "Band" bicycle, or even the helicopter scene from Apocalypse At present. Yous think "Kill the wabbit." This is Elmer Fudd's career triumph equally he wields his spear and magic helmet against Bugs. This masterpiece is also enshrined in the National Movie Registry.
i. "One Froggy Evening" (1955, Jones)
Another National Film Registry inductee, this is a timeless legend of human being's greed in which a construction worker looks to cash in on a frog that can sing and trip the light fantastic toe, merely only for him. It was close, only this masterpiece simply edges out "What's Opera, Md?" for the top slot because you could watch this without audio and it would still be hilarious, fifty-fifty without hearing Michigan J. Frog'south spirited rendition of "Hello! Ma Baby," "The Michigan Rag," and other standards.
