"Tex-Book Looney" like with the Bob Clampett video is another strong compilation filled with fan favorites and video debuts. A majority of the shorts are one-shot cartoons but Tex Avery's comedic style is still present. Highly recommended.

Happy anniversary to one of Chuck Jones’ greatest shorts, and one of Bugs Bunny’s best, “What’s Opera, Doc?” (1957).

This is truly a groundbreaking short in terms of Maurice Noble's art direction, Milt Franklyn's Wagner music arrangements, and Michael Maltese's writing balancing high-brow classical music to Bugs and Elmer's usual rivalry. It all makes this an amazing cartoon.
It was the first animated short inducted into the National Film Registry in 1992, and was voted Number 1 on Jerry Beck's 50 Greatest Cartoons book in 1994. Steve Hoffman has said on a forum that a 35mm magnetic stereo recording of the cartoon's score has been found awhile ago.

Happy Birthday to Arthur Davis, an underrated director and animator for Warner Bros. Cartoons. He joined Termite Terrace in 1942. He took over Bob Clampett's unit in 1945 until it was dissolved 2 years later. He was one of Friz Freleng's animators. #LooneyTunes #LooneyTwt Image
Davis started as an animator at Max Fleischer's New York studio. He tapped out the famous "bouncing ball" of those 1920s sing along cartoons. He later worked at Charles Mintz / Screen Gems. He later left there with Frank Tashlin for Leon Schlesinger in 1942.
Davis started as an animator in Frank Tashlin's unit up until 1946 when it became Robert McKimson's unit. Also in that same year when Bob Clampett left WB, Davis suddenly took over Clampett's unit.

We honor Mel Blanc who was born on this day, May 30th in 1908. For 52 years, he was the voice of Looney Tunes. His Warner Bros. cartoon legacy lives on as a new generation of talent like Jeff Bergman, Eric Bauza, and Bob Bergen voice the Tunes in new iterations. #LooneyTunes

Image
Mel Blanc joined Leon Schlesinger Productions in 1936 as he voiced a drunken bull in the short "Picador Porky". He replaced Joe Dougherty as the voice of Porky Pig in "Porky's Duck Hunt" which jumpstarted in his longtime career for Warner Bros. Cartoons.
He gave a lisp to characters like Daffy Duck, Sylvester, and Sylvester Jr. (sped up or normal), a Brooklyn-Bronx accent for Bugs Bunny and Henery Hawk, a dopey voice for Beaky Buzzard, a tough voice for Yosemite Sam, and a high baby voice for Tweety.
