I love these intros for some reason. It's like something broke while making them making it seem truly looney. Too bad the shorts after them didn't quite stack up.
these are iconic imo, but yeah the shorts weren't the same. too bad. it seems the more kids became the focus...the more the shorts lost their appeal. mostly I blame the animators for toning them down.

@@bigman10239 Nah it's just the shit became more Hanna Barberaish son. "Looney Tunes" lost some of the authentic blackness of the Chuck Jones mothafuckin era.
It's because in the 60's cartoons didn't have as high a budget
@@robjackson5245 You sure are a class act there, Jemerson.
I actually liked this intro. Sounded unique and strange
It fits the theme because the name is Looney tunes so its like there actually looney.
Too bad the cartoons were just awful
No.
@@CheeseMiser Why no ?
@@george-nu5nr because it was the worst era of the show
It's not the same without "That's all, folks!"
Well at least it's classic from the 60s!
This reminds me of Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner cartoons.
Maybe because Coyote and Road Runner is a part of it
Yeah.
@@krisvaras7801 yeah this sound was on this cartoon road runner show
yeah
Same
This was my hint when road runner and wile coyote short was going on
Fun fact: this logo means “change the channel”.
Am I the only one who thought these intro/outros were creepy as a kid? Especially the red eyes jumping out on 'Cart00n'
Lol a lot of ppl thought that :p loved these intros myself as a kid
they were not looney for nothing...
Personally I fucking loved the jumping 00's as a kid. They're actually what caused me to search this video.
Me too Kahlil
Also check out "Polar Pals."
Why do people think these are scary? I find them really catchy....
Yeah for some reason it never freaked me out, I always found them interesting and different.
When I was a kid,
When I seen this on Boomerang and
Cartoon Network, it gave me the creeps
because of the soundtrack.
It's the dissonant chords used. They don't make a melody.
@@Kruegernator123 o
I find them catchy too
i watched a lot of looney tunes as a kid in the late 80's and 90's. whenever this opening came on me and my brother referred to it as the fake intro hahaha. memories.
From what I know, from 1963-1965, the W and B in the closing of a Warner Bros. cartoon appeared in four pieces, and the Os bounced three times fast. From 1966-1967, the W and B appeared in only two pieces, and the Os only bounced two times slow.
Yep. The OO animation in the 1966-1967 variant was slower and choppier than the 1963-1965 versions.
I like how these are the matted widescreen versions as seen in theaters as opposed to the open-matte versions.
These give me chills.
Nostalgic chills or chills of pure fear?
@@opalyasu7159 for me pure fear
@@TheSilentGecko7 I agree with you 😰👍
@@giovannigonzales5152 Always remember if you see a bad Looney Tunes short with this intro or the W7 one, Warn A Brother !
I think this is my favourite variation. It feels like watching Looney Tunes through a funhouse mirror.
At 0:00 you can hear twang noise, but much lower volume of sound. Pre magnetic echo
that happened at the PBS 1971 logo too
Actually the 1960s were the last golden age cartoon years for the Looney Tunes before moving on to recent media, I honestly like these ones besides just the 1930s, 40s and 50s shorts.
+Nikki Roessler I don't know about that. The shorts they give in theaters before a movie are great, and the Looney Tunes Show is cool.
I liked Looney Tunes Show when it first came out, and I also like the new Wabbit show. Although, I feel a sense of impatience right now about when some of Wabbit's new episodes will air on Boomerang! I once asked about that in a question video, someone said the new episodes for Wabbit should be on January 2016, I did accept that but this is why I'm kinda impatient about it too. I'm a huge fan of Wabbit and it is my current favorite TV show right now! Oh yes, and speaking of Looney Tunes Show, the Merrie Melodies songs there were pretty funny and I like how there are CGI Road Runner shorts on there too.
It was really a transitional decade that started out classic, but after Chuck Jones left and the theme changed, it just wasn't the same, especially as they phased out Bugs Bunny and later Speedy and Daffy. For many years syndicated and Saturday Morning network broadcasts wouldn't show anything past 1963, avoiding this age. When Nickelodeon picked up the rights in the late 1980s, they couldn't acquire the popular late '40s-early '60s shorts, leading to a lot of Blue Ribbons, black & white, and of course abstract intro shorts. I never understood what this intro meant as a kid, but seeing the limited "abstract" animation more typical for television than the big screen along with some cheesier writing later on showed more and more as I've grown to understand.
@@crazycarlos08 This is the opening/closing I would see if a Looney Toons cartoon was coming on at the drive-in.
the true last year was actually 1963
i always loved this intro when i was younger, usually because it was an indication that it would be a Wile. E and Road Runner short, because none of my other Looney DVD’s went so late. but i dunno, it always looked so carefully put together and really creative which almost reminded me of animation in general, but i was just a kid i probably just liked the bright colours, The blue ribbon intro always stuck with me too.
it was so carefully put together because it was made by chuck jones for a one time short. clearly they wanted it to stick around since a couple other shorts before the shutdown used it and then it became permanent
This intro song should be played over the speakers at stadiums.
0:09 and 0:34 i love this design of the logos
IT'S BACK!
Memory will never die😌
Oh no, not a budget-cut episode.
Am I the only one who finds this logo to be somewhat spooky?
How so?

It also doesn't help that this logo sequence was used on Rudy Larriva's Road Runner cartoons, which could be pretty nightmarish at times!
its kiddish
No
It took me until the other day to realize 0:02-0:05 was a remix of Big Ben's chimes
I like how minimalistic they are
I wonder if people watched this back then and said, "The old episodes were better, Looney Tunes is dead and soulless now"
Unpopular opinion: This is eerie but pretty nice at the same time
They brought this intro back!
this one creeped me the fuck out
i always thought the W looks like 2 Vs
I always wondered why this intro felt so aggressive.
My favorite Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies opening monologues. Very colorful, funky and groovy since these are from the 60s.
During the 60's, Looney Tunes Was Looking Hanna-Barbera-esque at the Time.
The Animation Looks Like Something Out of...
- Huckleberry Hound
- Yogi Bear
- Pixie and Dixie
- Quick Draw McGraw
- The Flintstones
- The Jetsons
- Magilla Gorilla
- Loopy De Loop
- Top Cat
- The Perils of Penelope Pitstop
- Hong Kong Phooey
And Any Scooby-Doo Spin-off During That Time.
It Looks If Warner Bros. Got Hanna-Barbera To Animate These Cartoons !
Hell, It Even Uses More HB SFX and Less WB Cartoon SFX !
This one is my all time favorite intros for looney tunes
Man this takes me back.
This intro typically meant a Road Runner cartoon was coming up.
A bad Road Runner cartoon to be precise !
Or a speedy gonzales cartoon
When this logo would appear during a Cartoon Network airing of the Looney Tunes from 2011 to the present, I would wince a bit, as it usually meant one of those crummy Rudy Larriva Road Runner cartoons was about to start.
Funny you mention that! I remember watching an airing around two years ago consisting almost entirely of those Larriva Road Runner cartoons.
0:17
@@CptRomulus cartoon network
This was my cue to stop watching.
My favourite arrangement of this amazing tune
It's Catchy but at the same time Horrifying.
There's are reason why it's called the dark era of Animation.
How I used to tell if it was going to be a Coyote and Roadrunner short
And how I could tell it was going to be a Speedy Gonzales short with Daffy or Sylvester
There’s also that one tiger.
@@TwilightLink77 Cool Cat. So forgotten he only appeared again as a janitor at Acme Looniversity on Tiny Toons lol.
EDIT: It was Pete Puma actually. Easily got the two mixed up.
So cool now!
Ya hear?
@@rommix0 That was Pete Puma, actually.
Ahh, the crummy era . These ones always depressed me . The charm was gone and now the era of cheap .
9 out of 10 times I always knew it was gonna be a road runner cartoon. Road Runner was the fucking G.O.A.T.
"Greatest of all times."
Everytime I see this intro I know this is when Looney Tunes lose their beautiful animation to a cheep one
I've been looking for these ones everywhere.
When i was a kid i loved the looney tunes but that music kind of scared me to the point i would just watched something else. I look at it now its just sounds nostalgic. After all it was the 60s and WB animation was kind of on its way out. They didnt even make a comeback til the 80s and 90s.
Actually Jones took over in the 50s and was sacked prior to Depatie and Freleng taking over, then Depatie-Freling left WB and started DPF films doing work for United Artists. Jones, McKimson, Depatie, and Freling all worked together on Warner Bros cartoons during the 1950s and 60s.
Hated this intro of Looney Tunes as a kid and now for some reason I miss this deeply
Now that I think of it, this logo sequence would actually fit with "Loonatics Unleashed!"
Why would it fit with Loonatics Unleashed ? Can you tell me why ?
@@george-nu5nr Because they were both such drastic attempts of the Looney Tunes franchise trying to be relevant.
@@ZakWolf I bet this would also fit with What's New, Scooby-Doo and that very infamous Baby Looney Tunes garbage.
@@george-nu5nr, yep, though the W7 version would fit better with “What’s New, Scooby-Doo?”
@@ZakWolf
If you don't do a full-on YTP on What's New, Scooby-Doo...
OUR FRIENDSHIP IS SO OVER, ARTHUR-LOVING MORON !!!!!!!
The sad part of this era is the fact that no Bugs Bunny cartoons were made.
because DFE had the right to use only 6 characters : Daffy Duck, Speedy Gonzales, Roadrunner, Wile E. Coyote, Sylvester and Granny.
Best intro ever ❤️ love it, inforgettable
God, those fucking Os just jumping at me. They freaked me the fuck out.
I like this intro. This is my favoritest out of all of them I've seen.
agreee!
@@pongoni7586same
I remember seeing these intros a lot after Nickelodeon revamped their 'Looney Tunes on Nickelodeon' show in 1992, these and the Warner Bros-Seven Arts variation.
Thank God for the old school
all the epidodes with these intros and outros had speedy daffy
speedy sylvester
or road runner + wile coytoe
Or Daffy and Porky.
Yeah
Porky only appeared once or twice.
Corn on the Cop (1965) and
Mucho Lucos (1966, albeit archival footage).
In the words of Marie Kondo "This one does not spark joy."
This was during the psychedelic Chuck Jones era, correct?
Man, just look at all that color contrast!
Chuck Jones left WB around the time this terrible intro became the norm. He went to work for MGM's Tom and Jerry revival.
@@CrashFan03 yeah Tom And Jerry also had any intro feel liked
Only one Chuck Jones short used a slightly different variation of this intro, Now Hear This
In a nice HD HQ edition. :)
Why were these intros and outros only used on Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner cartoons (when Looney Tunes aired on Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network)?
I fell in love with this when I first saw it in Wile E. Coyote's "Boulder WHAM!" one morning on Cartoon Network. Simpler times...
And Wile E hold signs that all folks.
This music composed by William Lava with the opening theme.
And composed by Walter Greene.
@@jacksanders2493 Walter Greene only composed some low budget cartoons in the mid-1960's such as Daffy's Diner and Sugar and Spies rather than the opening.
Nice
I've never seen these during my childhood, so they feel incredibly cursed
This is the type of song that would play when a Looney Tune character (i.e. Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Sylvester, Wile E. etc.) is on a mental paddled room, realizing that they're on a decline.
EDIT: Would make sense now that it's *looney* after all.
I can see that.
Whatever the hell William Lava composed music scores for
the intro and outro themes must've been on a lot of drugs.
Perfect intro for the 1960's. Too bad the quality of the content dropped.
Which eventually led to the
downfall of Looney Tunes.
That simple WB looks like something they'd do nowadays, oversimplify it, the difference being they already oversimplified it half a century ago.
They were still using Vitaphone in the 60s?
Looney Tunes Merrie Melodies Opening And Closing HD (1964-1967) By Helen Keaton
I LOVE THIS THEME!!!
NO !!!! Don't love it !!
They actually reused this opening in an episode of Looney tunes Cartoons.
These are rather.......................exotic for LT. Then again, it was the era where everything went to crap so....
This was used in wb splatter
Darker theme than I remember and I was never keen on the purple WB logo. Definitely an era where they were smoking some heavy stuff.
This was when looney tunes were going downhill
I love how the two orange O’s move big to small they look like eyes
These LT and MM intro would have been even more abstract if all the letters and background were moving and changing colors.
So I couldn't find the better lineup tune show but I loved this looney tune show
Play this at 0.25x, it sounds trippy.
There's something slightly sinister about this.
1st intro I seen of looney tunes on here :) I liked it but many ppl were terrified of this xp
Im using first one's intro + outro music for my intro + outro! (it will only show when its something special I've worked on)
It's a shame a good intro got wasted on the bad era of looney tunes
Did anyone notice on the first ending, the two triangles
that made the W were slightly not aligned?
Yeah I did
no "snap to point" feature yet
Given the time this was created, and how much acid was most likely being dropped, I'll give it a pass.
The Chuck Jones era
Reminds me of the Speedy and Daffy cartoons which were pretty decent.
@DoubleA1200 Oh, I almost forgot about Freleng's significant impact. When did Jones take over?
tiny toon adventures and merrie melodies 1964-1967 HD
I'm thinking about doing a TH-cam Poop intro based on this.
The WB In WB Presents look like sunglasses and seal tusks
Odd reason to make this my ringtone lol
I always thought these intros were unsettling because of their key. Especially those 4 notes at the beginning.
The golden age.
🐇: no
Ah yes. The dark age of Looney Tunes. Home to stock footage scenes, awful episodes and Hanna Barbera stock effects.
this looks like 2000's
C👀l, That's All Folks. Hashtag Cart👀n.
How to tell if a looney tunes cartoon is going to be bad
Step 1:
There were some good ones. Just not as good as the older ones…
The definitive oversimplified logo.
Seems like Frank Zappa took his sound from these intros.
