80 + years of history, and they're still the best cartoon characters. even their predecessors in both the Tiny Toons and Animaniacs can live up to there legacy. I hope to God that Warner Bros. revives interest with the Tunes and have them Interact with the Animaniacs and Tiny Toons for fans old and new.
Actually, this is correct, because Bugs Bunny's first appearances were in Merrie Melodies cartoons. From the very beginning, the cartoons released by Warner Brothers were two distinct series, Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies. LT were typically cartoons with reoccurring characters (like Bosco) and the first MM were musicals, and by 1934 they were also in color. LT cartoons remained B/W until 1942. Buckaroo Bugs was indeed the first appearance of Bugs Bunny in a Looney Tunes cartoon.
"Bugs Bunny made his official debut in the 1944 short Buckaroo Bugs." That could not be further from the truth. The Bugs prototype first appeared in 1938's "Porky's Hare Hunt" and made his official debut in 1940's "A Wild Hare." Bugs had many shorts out before 1944 and was an established star.

You Made Some Mistakes, 1.Bosko Didn't Leave Because Of Any Lawsuits, It Was Because The Animators Were Ready To Move On 2.Bugs Bunny Did Not Debut In 1944's "Buckaroo Bugs", He Made His 1st Appearance In 1938's "Porky's Hare Hunt" And Officially Debuted In 1940's "A Wild Hare"
Ok, Bosko did not "leave" because of a "copyright dispute". Bosko's creators Hugh Harman and Rudolf Ising were always at odds with producer Leon Schlesinger because their cartoons always ran over budget. In order to avoid the same fate Walt Disney faced when he lost the rights to Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, Harman and Ising took the rights to Bosko over to MGM in 1934 and created a few cartoons in his original appearance before being redesigned and discontinued in the late 30's. That same year, Leon Schlesinger, along with other non-Disney cartoon studios such as Screen Gems (Columbia), Walter Lantz (Universal), Van Beuren (RKO Radio) and Fleischer (Paramount) started using the Cinecolor and 2-strip Technicolor processes in order to compete with Disney's Silly Symphonies being made in Technicolor, which Disney held exclusive rights to. Until 1943, only the Merrie Melodies were made in color while the Looney Tunes, which mainly starred Porky Pig, Beans the Cat Gabby Goat, and later, Daffy Duck, would stay in black and white in order to save money during the Depression and WWII. And for the record, Bugs Bunny's debut was NOT "Buckaroo Bugs" (1944). In fact, I personally think his first appearance is a subject of debate, though most people would say "A Wild Hare" (1940) firmly established his persona. I know this is supposed to be a short video, but NOT ONCE did they mention the contributions the shorts made for the war effort, or the Private Snafu cartoons being produced by the WB staff for the US Army. Also, they seemed to have ignored the 1950's, which I think is the Second Golden Age of Looney Tunes, where Chuck Jones made numerous bona fide masterpieces such as What's Opera, Doc?, Duck Amuck, and One Froggy Evening. However, I'm glad they skipped over the Rudy Larriva and Seven Arts shorts.
+Hernan Hernandez: Plus, alongside Bugs, Michigan J. Frog ("Hello My Baby" & "Michigan Rag") became a defacto mascot when _Looney Tunes_ briefly moved to the restructuring Nickelodeon [formerly Pinwheel] in the early 90's before it, _Animaniacs_ & _Batman: The Animated Series_ (both on FOX previously), _Tiny Toon Adventures_ (made before _Animaniacs_ but didn't leave Nickelodeon right away), etc. all found their semi-permanent home on the Kid's WB station owned by parent company Time-Warner, and on the Kid's WB bumpers, Michigan J. Frog remained the mascot and even tossed shade at former show owner FOX with the nickname "20th-Century Frog" (later reused by Jim Henson's Kermit the Frog as an in-joke).
I get the confusion regarding Bugs' debut. Yes, Bugs didn't made his official overall debut in 1944's "Buckaroo Bugs", but that was just his first official cartoon under the "Looney Tunes" name specifically. It was *"Merrie Melodies"* where Bugs officially debuted in 1940's "A Wild Hare". Yeah, those idiots at WatchMojo should take proofreading lessons.
yeah, Dumbo is Disney. They should've shown the scene where Daffy is having a piano battle with Donald, or better yet, the scene where Bugs and Mickey are together
Just a correction about when the Looney Tunes went to TV in the 1950's, all the way up until the 1970's they kept in the smoking, drinking and in some of them, even a little of the ethnic humor as well. Where is WatchMojo getting their "facts" from?
There were several variants using different openings for cartoons using the same characters in the early sixties. Many of these are lost, and can probably be attributed to different art shops used to contract early production film shorts for theaters and drive- ins of the era.
The old random Tunes were the best. And Toonheads, my dad, brother and I would watch that all day learning about the history of the Loones and watching some sketch episodes.
You guys had some wrong facts. First bugs debut officially in 1940 in a wild hare. Also the first color looney tunes short was technically honeymoon hotel.
she said they made technological advances to compete with disney by making color cartoons but disney was the first cartoon maker to use color and disney had colored cartoons exclusively for years
There was an animated tv series that took place in the 28th Century and it’s called Loonatics Unleashed. It talks about the Looney Tunes’ descendants in the future when a meteor hits the fictional city planet of Acmetroplis and gave them superpowers and become the superhero team of the future, the Loonatics.
No, because before Buckaroo Bugs, all Bugs Bunny cartoons were Merrie Melodies cartoons. WB cartoons began as two separate series, with their own modus operandi and musical openings (Looney Tunes had "The Merry-go-round Broke Down" and Merrie Melodies theme was "Merrily We Roll Along"). Beginning in 1934 all MM cartoons were in color, but LT titles were in black and white until 1942. After that, the only real difference between them were the opening and closing themes.
I wish they'd kept it with the original, hand drawn cartoons. That "modern" version is an entirely different cartoon and just copy the humor of the old ones. They should've come up with entirely different characters for new cartoons!
They were the same after 1938, when the Merrie Melodies no longer had to include a WB-owned song in each cartoon. The only difference between MM and LT between 1938 and 1943 was that the LT series was in black & white. After '43, the only difference was the theme song.
Interesting how this video acknowledged the Looney Tunes being in Who Framed Roger Rabbit, but of all the clips from the movie that are shown, none of them are clips featuring Looney Tunes characters.
2:40 First it was The Bugs Bunny Show Later it was The Bugs Bunny and roadrunner show 90 minutes of Looney Tunes on CBS Then it was The Bugs Bunny and Tweety show on ABC As far as Bugs making his debut He sorta made a debut acting real Looney with that famous laugh of Woody Woodpecker
Looney Tunes and Tom and Jerry probably the best thing that ever happened into the animation industry.
Agreed, and dont forget Scooby Doo

Jared Garcia NOTHING WILL EVER BEAT LOONY TUNES!! ( the originals 1930s thru late 40s ) THEY'RE THE ZANNIEST!!
@Michael Latay ain't that the turth

Hilarious line wherein one duck calls attention to the other duck's speech impediment.
Right? Who edited this?
I’ve been recently watching the Looney Tunes show with my younger brother and we really love it!!!
You guys got Bugs Bunny's official debut wrong. He first debuted in 1940, not 1944. And it was in 'A Wild Hare', not 'Buckaroo Bugs'.
WillBTheBassist Bugs Bunny Debuted in 1938 and it was porky's hare hunt. you both are wrong
WillBTheBassist But Closely
WillBTheBassist he got it right but watchmojo was talking about his first looney tunes appearence
No, he debuted in 1937 on Porky's Hare Hunt
Lifesman123 you mean 1938
I can't believe they mentioned Space Jam but didn't bother to mention Lola Bunny, who became one of the main Looney Tunes after that!
***** Yes, but she was great in Space Jam
Their disdpicable for leaving out that fact how dare they do that to her
I still Loved Looney Tunes

Looney Tunes and Tom and Jerry are both Good classic cartoons
I love the looney tunes show Better than wabbit
Agree
Well, Looney Tunes Cartoons (2020) (who's coming to Disney XD) is actually better than those two shows,
Uuum... I dont agree. Its beacause it has........ inappropriate things
jess0382 a reply from today
Agree
You talked about Looney Tunes and then used the "That's All, Folks" ending from Merrie Melodies.
This is a good episode to be honest
it has inspired me myself

My favorite Looney Tunes character, I say, my favorite character is Foghorn Leghorn!
Lol, he's my 2nd favorite, I always loved Taz as a kid
Daffy Duck
mickey mouse racers
My favorite looney tunes character is Bugs and Daffy
I like coyote
Ahh, Looney Tunes was awesome back then. Not really a fan of the new show, but the oldies are a blast.
Looney Tunes is one reason why I like Warner Bros. more than Disney.
I agree with you
The old random Tunes were the best. And Toonheads, my dad, brother and I would watch that all day learning about the history of the Loones and watching some sketch episodes.
History Of Tom And Jerry Please Do It
First Tom and Jerry cartoon: "Puss Gets the Boot". However, Tom's name in that first short was Jasper.
TheRabbipinchas and Jerry was named jynx
Yes that's true that first cartoon
to make a good Looney Tunes movie, it needs to be a anthology movie, with it's own stories focusing on other characters.
I was thinking of a detective movie starring Bugs.
@@juanrisa945 really
in Buckaroo Bugs,Was That Supposed to be an Early Version of Yosemite Sam?
The first true Warner Bros. Cartoon is the 1936 I Love to Singa as the true creators celebrate their 50th anniversary in 1986 making it official.

Disney was not the first cartoon maker to use color! But they were first to use modern processes for doing so, as opposed to painting on the film.
they got bugs bunnies first appearance wrong, his first appearance was in episode 5 wild hare.
a wild hare was his first appearance in merrie melodies. they said his first appearance in looney tunes was buckaroo bugs
that actually makes more sense to be honest
@@AxoElle I am late but Bugs first Looney Tunes appearance was “Porky Pigs Feat”
Albeit as a cameo but Buckaroo Bugs was his his first staring Looney Tunes short and I think that was they meant.

"i haven't got a hat" is a merrie melodies cartoon and it's in this video.

“Porky’s Hare Hunt” featured a prototype Bugs his first appearance is “A Wild Hare”
@@No-hd4cg you wrong
Oh I grew up watching a tape from 96 that was a Cartoon Network week long marathon of bugs, including hair seasonings
not to mention that they finally brought back the original shorts on cartoon network recently as well
Do the history of nintendo
No, because before Buckaroo Bugs, all Bugs Bunny cartoons were Merrie Melodies cartoons.

I can still watch this show today and I'm 25.
Aye, but that were a Merry Melodies Cartoon. Buckaroo Bugs was the first appearance of him in the Looney Tunes franchise.
Please make video on history of Tom and Jerry.thank you.have a nice day.
Yes please I hope there should be tom and jerry his first names are jasper and jinx
The guy who came up wit looney tunes was on acid
I got a Looney Tunes World of Mayhem ad before this XD
I wish they'd kept it with the original, hand drawn cartoons. That "modern" version is an entirely different cartoon and just copy the humor of the old ones. They should've come up with entirely different characters for new cartoons!
I'm 16 but I love looney tunes and Disney precisely because the cartoons seemed like real cartoons .. I just liked the style. CGI doesn't appeal to me
You forgot to mention that Looney Tunes and Merrie Meldoies were two indistinguishable series.
They were the same after 1938, when the Merrie Melodies no longer had to include a WB-owned song in each cartoon. The only difference between MM and LT between 1938 and 1943 was that the LT series was in black & white. After '43, the only difference was the theme song.
i knew they were going to use ''that's all folks'' at the end
Always.
I got a ad for a Looney Tunes DVD before watching this can youtube tell what we are thinking of????
Michael Jordan: You're a cartoon, you're not real.
Bugs: Not real, eh? If I'm not real, could I do this?
That is incredibly harsh.
The bathtub be twerking and slapping it's own ass! I love it!
Interesting how this video acknowledged the Looney Tunes being in Who Framed Roger Rabbit, but of all the clips from the movie that are shown, none of them are clips featuring Looney Tunes characters.
Plus they had been using the That's all Folks outro since day one even before Porky.
Do history of speed racer!!!!!!!
You have my sympathy.
WatchMojo is wrong about Bugs Bunny's debut. The first feature, "The Wild Hare", debuted in 1940, and was the first to show Elmer Fudd as a hunter.
nostalgia dude that was Merrie melodies, "Buckaroo Bugs" was his first "Looney Tunes" cartoon and one and only cartoon in the Leon slescinger era
@@ScroogeKamaziMD no Bugs first appearance in a Looney Tunes short was “Porky Pig’s Feat” and that was also produced by Schlesinger

@@ScroogeKamaziMD ok
Isn't bugs bunny debuted in 1938
I couldn't agree more.
T-t-t-t-that's All Folks
Excellent
Inbetween Bosko and Porky, there was Buddy as the 2nd Looney Tunes Star. And briefly, Beans as the 3rd star.
I loved it when Daffy was crazy.
in my opinion Loony Tunes beats Disney every time
Ya think they'll get The History of Thomas the Tank Engine
My least favorite character in LT is Porky Pig, but the best Tunes character is Bugs!!
Looney Tunes is also my childhood.
Bug Bunny started off as a Quale bird.
I think that Watch Mojo should
make a video of the history of Tom and Jerry.
Larry: Bugs Bunny? Moe: We did a stage show with that rabbit
What’s the music in the background throughout the video.
I'm surprised they didn't mention that Superhero cartoon.
Loonatics Unleashed.
will, he was in merrier melodies only from 1940 to 1944
They really showed the wrong clips for Looney Tunes in Roger Rabbit.
1:53 Actually it was the A Wild Hare episode.
Like the ending!
I wish you mention about bugs final theatrical film false hare
2:40 First it was The Bugs Bunny Show
Later it was The Bugs Bunny and roadrunner show 90 minutes of Looney Tunes on CBS
Then it was The Bugs Bunny and Tweety show on ABC
As far as Bugs making his debut
He sorta made a debut acting real Looney with that famous laugh of
Woody Woodpecker
How about you make some “history of “ videos about Tom and Jerry, Woody Woodpecker and Pink Panther?
Agree,I like it
Did you know that Looney Tunes used to air on Nickelodeon?
The first official Bugs Bunny cartoon is generally considered "A Wild Hare," directed by Tex Avery.
Sorry but Disney still wins. Especially now Disney has full control of Roger Rabbit. Mickey is the OG and the boss
