    adam garbutt OUGD505 looney tunes: world war II era

    wartime looney tunes


    During the war looney tunes turned
    to create two types of cartoons:
    ones to escape from realitity and
    ones that played on the topicality of
    it. working in a defence plant, being
    drafted, etc.
    Bugs bunny captured the american
    spirit, bugs can-do attitute gave
    americans relateble cartoon charac-
    ter. As bugs had just been created in
    the recent years, his development
    during this period shaped what we
    know as bugs today and is what
    made him rise to success.
    Typical trademarks of these car-
    toons that are usually spoofed: pro-
    paganda elements, racist carica-
    tures, outdated references to the
    war effort (i.e., Shout Outs to save
    scrap iron, buy war bonds, or grow a
    Victory Garden). Adolf Hitler, Benito
    Mussolini, and/or Emperor Hirohito
    often make a cameo.
    looney tunes: censorship/ poltical correctness adam garbutt OUG505
    the censored eleven
    cartoons are often edited to take out
    parts that are unseenly for some
    viewers and cut to make them more
    appriopriate for their audiences .
    sometimes, in the case of the Cen-
    sored Eleven, racial themes are so
    essential and so completely pervade
    the cartoons that the copyright
    holders believe that no amount of
    selective editing could ever make
    them acceptable for distribution.
    All of the faces you see in Tin Pan
    Alley Cats and Coal Black and de
    Sebben Dwarfs are caricatures of
    real musicians he hung out with at
    the Central Avenue jazz and blues
    clubs of the '40s. The people shown
    in some of the cartoons are simply
    caricatures and innocent as that.
    However with their recent release
    theyve recently come to the atten-
    tion to a lot of people due to the cul-
    tural signfigance they hold.
    looney tunes: mel blanc adam garbutt OUGD505
    hanna barbera looney tunes
    the man of a thousand voices
    Having earned the nickname The
    Man Of 1,000 Voices, Mel is regard-
    ed as one of the most influential
    people in the voice-acting industry.
    Over the span of his career, he was
    in over 5,000 cartoons and did over
    400 different voices for each.
    He didnt only feature his voices in
    Looney tunes feature films and
    Merry Melodies but also he worked
    for Hanna Barbera voicing Barney
    Grumble and other classic charac-
    ters. (He is also the voice of Woody
    the Woodpecker.
    He rarely watched the cartoons bec-
    uase he only really cared for the
    characters he voiced and entertain-
    ing children.
    Although now hes dead (1989) hes
    still one of the most influencial and
    achieved voice actors in the indus-
    try.
    looney tunes: lobby cards adam garbutt OUGD505
    lobby cards
    lobby cards are similar to posters
    but smaller, usually 11 in 14 in (28
    cm 36 cm), also 8 in 10 in (20 cm
    25 cm) before 1930. Lobby cards
    are collected and their value de-
    pends on their age, quality, and pop-
    ularity. Typically issued in sets of
    eight, each featuring a different
    scene from the film.
    Looney tunes had their own lobby
    cards back when they used to be
    shown as feature films and they
    have a HUGE array of beautiful work
    that shows the development of the
    series as a whole from character
    design to the wonderful type work
    on each card. Although now a col-
    lecters Item I find them really inter-
    esting as both a concept and simply
    wanting them on my wall.
    looney tunes: bugs bunny adam garbutt OUGD505
    eeeeeh, whats up doc?
    Bugs Bunny (originally voiced by
    Mel Blanc) is an animated car-
    toon character, best known for
    his starring roles in the Looney
    Tunes and Merrie Melodies series
    of theatrical short films pro-
    duced by Warner Bros. during
    the Golden Age of American Ani-
    mation. His popularity during
    this era led to his becoming an
    American cultural icon, as well as
    a corporate mascot of the
    Warner Bros. company.
    Bugs final debut was in 1940 in
    the wild hare, here was shown
    the final incarnation for bugs
    bunny, Although he was created
    as Happy hare in 1938 the next 2
    years showed quick develop-
    ment of the character who then
    became popular through the
    wartime.
