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 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.

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

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.

Today's #VideoWednesday begins our long weekly retrospective of the Looney Tunes Golden Collection one disc at a time.

#LooneyTunes #LooneyTwt Video releases of the Looney Tunes were dormant after the release of Looney Tunes Presents and Collector's Edition series (and Japan's I Love Tweety series). Enter 2003, Warner Bros. was gearing up towards Looney Tunes: Back in Action.

Tonight’s #VideoWednesday will highlight the first #LooneyTunes DVDs made available anywhere in the world. Released in Japan in April 2001, here is the “I Love Tweety” series.
#LooneyTwt Warner Bros. is in the process of restoring and remastering their animated catalog. Tweety gained a cult following in Japan so it made sense to capitalize on that while also serve it as a testing ground for potential future DVDs.

Today's #VideoWednesday, we are taking a look at the 2nd and final wave of Looney Tunes: The Collector's Edition released on June 2001, months after the AOL Time Warner merger was approved.

#LooneyTunes #LooneyTwt Enter 2000. America Online is preparing to merge with Time Warner. The only Looney Tunes videos being released that year are Taz's Jingle Jams, Bugs Bunny's Halloween Hijinks, and the 1st #LooneyTunes direct to video movie, Tweety's High-Flying Adventure.

Today's #VideoWednesday, we are continuing our look at Looney Tunes: The Collector's Edition with the last two volumes of the November 1999 wave as the new mil-looney-um approaches.

Volume 3: The Vocal Genius. This tape contains 14 cartoons highlighting the best of Mel Blanc. Not just from accents and speech impediments, but the timing and delivery of his lines coming from the characters that he voiced.

Welcome to a special week long edition of #VideoWednesday. The first wave of what is considered to be the final line of #LooneyTunes VHS tapes ever made. The largest selection for the format. "Looney Tunes: The Collector's Edition".
#LooneyTwt According to The Bugs Bunny Video Guide by Greg Method...

"With the Looney Tunes Presents line aimed squarely at children and with everything else going out of print, Warner Home Video began looking for a new way to sell the cartoons to the more serious animation fans.
