* WesternAnimation/LolaBunny, the rather controversial girlfriend of WesternAnimation/BugsBunny. In ''Film/SpaceJam'', she was InNameOnly, ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' wise, and served no purpose at all aside from being a romantic interest to Bugs. In ''WesternAnimation/TheLooneyTunesShow'', she was far more wacky and closer to what one would associate with ''Looney Tunes''. This is a result of that show's producers having not watched ''Space Jam'', and deciding to base the character on what would fit the voice actress' comedy style.

Though it was worth noting, in ''Space Jam''’s ending Lola does makes the classic looney “WOO HOO” vocalisation after Bugs kisses her, so she always had the potential to be more traditionally silly like the rest of them.

* In "WesternAnimation/FastAndFurryOus" (1949), [[WesternAnimation/WileECoyoteAndTheRoadrunner the Roadrunner]] was slightly more proactive along with Wile's scheming even shown striking back in KarmicTrickster fashion. A trait which was mostly dropped for later shorts since Wile gets [[HoistByHisOwnPetard Hoist By His Own Petards]] anyway.

* Similarly, Daffy went from ThePrankster, to [[TheBarnum scheming trickster]] to the now familiar ButtMonkey, victim of his own Ego. Granted, Daffy is also the most frequent to hark back to his initial persona, a CompositeCharacter being used a few occasions in modern works (e.g. ''Film/SpaceJam'', ''Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit'') or in some cases, [[CharacterRerailment is reverted back to his original personality]] (e.g. ''[[WesternAnimation/WabbitALooneyTunesProduction New Looney Tunes]]'', ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunesCartoons'').

Added DiffLines:

!!''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes''
* WesternAnimation/BugsBunny started off as ThePrankster. After a few shorts, he settles into the [[DeadpanSnarker Wise-cracking]] [[AmbiguouslyJewish Brooklyn-accented]] [[KarmicTrickster Trickster who only retaliates against deserving villains]] that everyone knows and loves.
** Despite airing after ''A Wild Hare'' established his current persona, Bugs in ''Elmer's Pet Rabbit'' (his second short) is a very different character. He is far more [[{{Jerkass}} abrasive]] than normal, and acts like an EntitledBastard towards Elmer for no particular reason. Bugs' voice is also much lower-pitched and lacks his famous Brooklyn accent.
* Similarly, Daffy went from ThePrankster, to [[TheBarnum scheming trickster]] to the now familiar ButtMonkey, victim of his own Ego. Granted Daffy is also the most frequent to hark back to his initial persona, a CompositeCharacter being used a few occasions in modern works (e.g. ''Film/SpaceJam'', ''Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit'') or in some cases, [[CharacterRerailment is reverted back to his original personality]] (e.g. ''[[WesternAnimation/WabbitALooneyTunesProduction New Looney Tunes]]'', ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunesCartoons'').
* WesternAnimation/PepeLePew wasn't really French in his first appearance. The accent was a fake he put on to try to woo the ladies. Also, in Pepe's first appearance, [[spoiler:he was married with children and cheating on his wife with a male cat who had painted himself up as a skunk so he can get back at the butcher who kicks him, the dog who attacks him, and the housewife who beats him]]. The difference between Pepe's first appearance and all subsequent appearances is more along the lines of EarlyInstallmentWeirdness as Creator/ChuckJones originally wanted to make Pepe Le Pew a [[OneSceneWonder One Cartoon Short Wonder]], but when Eddie Selzer claimed that Pepe wasn't funny, Chuck decided to bring back the character and prove Selzer wrong.
* WesternAnimation/ElmerFudd originated in the late 1930s as a more bizarre Creator/TexAvery creation known as Egghead, who was only once called Elmer Fudd on screen (in "A Feud There Was") before being retooled in 1940.
* Crossing over with EarlyInstallmentWeirdness, Sam the Sheepdog and Ralph the Wolf's first short, "Don't Give up the Sheep" had the two be typical slapstick villain and foiler, with Sam (named Ralph in this short) instead switching shifts with another dog named Fred. Later shorts introduced [[FriendlyEnemy the]] [[PunchClockVillain dynamics]] the two are well known for. Also Ralph was very hairy and had menacing looking claws and fangs; later shorts had him looking identical to Wile E. Coyote but with lighter colored fur and a red nose.
* In "WesternAnimation/FastAndFurryOus" (1949), [[WesternAnimation/WileECoyoteAndTheRoadrunner the Roadrunner]] was ''slightly'' more proactive along with Wile's scheming and was shown to strike back in KarmicTrickster fashion. A trait that would somewhat be dropped in later shorts (since Wile gets [[HoistByHisOwnPetard Hoist By His Own Petards]] anyways).
* Sniffles the Mouse was a {{Disneyesque}} RidiculouslyCuteCritter in his early cartoons, but when Creator/ChuckJones [[GrowingTheBeard learned how to be funny]], his cartoons become DenserAndWackier, and Sniffles become a MotorMouth (much like Creator/FrizFreleng’s [[ChuckCunninghamSyndrome discarded]] Lil' Blabbermouse character) who serves more as a nuisance than a cute main character, becoming this in his trademark trait.
* Lola Bunny, the rather controversial girlfriend of WesternAnimation/BugsBunny. In ''Film/SpaceJam'', she was InNameOnly, ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' wise, and served no purpose at all aside from being a romantic interest to Bugs. In ''WesternAnimation/TheLooneyTunesShow'', she was far more wacky and closer to what one would associate with ''Looney Tunes''.
