Subject: Cool Blog: 100 Greatest Looney Tunes

Written By: woops on 08/10/09 at 4:48 pm

The only setback is that the blogger didn't put much from the early/mid 1940's and nothing from the '30's (yet)... (mostly post 1948 shorts, though there's several classics and some underrated like "Hare Splitter", "Wise Quackers", "Ducking The Devil", and "My Favorite Duck")

IMHO-Looney Tunes were in their prime during the 50's. Sure, their 30's and 40's cartoons were good, but the LT Cartoons from the 50's had characters that became their own. And even Daffy Duck was recreated! Then once Bugs Bunny's "False Hare" was released...it just went downhill.

>bump<

Wouldn't be suprised if "What's Opera Doc?" is placed #1...Honestly "Rabbit of Seville" is funnier, IMHO.

Would create a Top 100 list, though would be difficult to rank and also to pick  the #1 cartoon...

I'd have to watch each and every LT Cartoon to give you my Top-100 List!

Jerry Beck's book of the 100 greatest Looney Tunes shorts will be released in Spring of 2010.  8)

(originally to be slated to be released some time ago, but got pushed...)


The '100 Greatest' blog is now on the Top 10...


Guessing that "What's Opera Doc?" and "Duck Amuck", which both are respectively are #1 & 2 on the 50 Greatest list, will be on top...

"What's Opera Doc?" is placed at #5

A bit overrated, IMHO and "Rabbit of Seville" is much funnier.

I think Rabbit of Seville should be number one with What's Opera Doc at number 2.

Scary thing is, I think I've seen ALL of those cartoons in my life time. Between regular television and stuff on VHS my mom bought me as a kid, I've seen them all.  :o

What's the worst Looney Tunes Cartoon ever...?

In my opinion, it would be..."Jungle Jitters". It not only has Native African Stereotypes, but it has bad stereotypes. They have the natives be cannibals, spanking themselves, and making their hut into a merry-go-round. And they have a White visitor that looks like a Goofy reject and a white ugly-looking queen.

I'm sorry, but "Space Jam" and "Looney Tunes: Back in Action" was funnier than this! 8-P

Used to watch Looney Tunes on Cartoon Network  & Nickelodeon. Plus video tapes...mainly public domain tapes that featured a handful of early Bugs, Daffy, Porky, and one shot cartoons (ie "Pigs In A Polka", "Fox Pop").

Also "Bugs Bunny & Tweety Show", but stopped when I got cable in the mid 1990's.

In recent years I've watched many uncut on the Golden Collection sets and several of the banned cartoons on YouTube and rare video finds.
