> [@P-man](#): > > Mel Blanc was great, but he wasn’t Woody’s voice. The Pecker was voiced by Grace Stafford, who was Walter Lantz’s wife. Overall, I like Woody the best. “Bunny Hugged” is my favorite overall, though. Really? Wow! I learn something new every day. But in that biography of Mel Blanc, he talks about Woody Woodpecker and I could have sworn that he explains how he created the voice for the character. I’ll have to take another look. Thank you. ---

I can’t thank you enough for this find. I had never seen it before and I learned so much about the people who created this cartoon. I started this thread because I was hoping to find one or two more great cartoons. It was not my intention to tell people what they could post and what they could not post. I was just trying to describe what I was interested in seeing. But I thank you all very much. I can’t believe so many of you posted so many great treasures in just a few hours. Very much appreciated. ---

GMTA – Great Minds Think Alike! I quickly ransacked the remains of my mind for some cartoons I really liked, only to find … That others in this thread have already mentioned them all. Rocky and Bullwinkle – especially the Upsidaisium story and the Goof Gas story. Betty Boop with Cab Calloway (St. James Infirmary and Minnie The Moocher. The “Old Man of the Mountain” not so much.) Duck Amuck. Popeye Meets Sinbad. Pink Phink was cute, but overall the Pink Panther series got rather monotonous. I tried and tried to find Rabbit of Seville on YouTube without success. I think Duck Amuck is also not there. Has Warner Brothers scrubbed their stuff off of YouTube? ---

I found both Duck Amuck and Rabbit of Seville many years ago on some DVD that had a large number of famous cartoons. But I have no idea how you can find it today. ---

Too many to choose from. I, of course, love _One Froggy Evening_, **Duck Amuck** , and _What’s Opera, Doc_\*. But I think my favorite might be one of the “Hunters Trilogy” starring Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, and Elmer Fudd. The three cartoons are **Rabbit Fire** **Rabbit Seasoning** and **Duck, Rabbit, Duck!**. They were written by the great Michael Maltese, directed by Chuck Jones, and voiced by Mel Blanc. These three are, in my opinion, the pinnacle of Warner Brothers cartoon creativity > **[Rabbit Fire](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rabbit_Fire)** > > Rabbit Fire is a 1951 Looney Tunes cartoon starring Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, and Elmer Fudd. Directed by Chuck Jones and written by Michael Maltese, the cartoon is the first in Jones' "hunting trilogy"—the other two cartoons following it being Rabbit Seasoning and Duck! Rabbit, Duck! It is also the first cartoon to feature a feud between Bugs and Daffy. Produced by Edward Selzer for Warner Bros. Cartoons, Inc., the short was released to theaters on May 19, 1951 by Warner Bros.

So many! Astro Boy (the original)… Loony Tunes, definitely! The ‘Hollywood’ characters cartoon in the 40’s with Humphrey Bogart, Peter Lorre, Greta Garbo caricatures…I loved Bugs Bunny, etc. but I also loved the forgotten obscure beautiful color cartoons from the 30’s-40’s. No well known characters, but the one I remember most was ‘Welcome Spring’… Oh, and the old Disney cartoons with dancing skeletons! … We here stopped watching cartoons when Hanna Barbera primitive shit started showing up. Disgusting. Made for the differently abled…or maybe we were too old for cartoons. But Hanna Barbera can suck my azz. Cheap and stupid. Rocky & Bullwinkle were in a class by themselves. we LOVED THEM. ---

Can’t pick a single favorite, but it would be one of the pre-1940 Fleischer Studio **Popeye** cartoons.
