Isadore "Friz" Freleng (1905-1995) was a prominent animator and director of the WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes and [[WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes Merrie Melodies]] animated shorts during UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfAnimation and UsefulNotes/TheDarkAgeOfAnimation. Friz got his start during the twilight years of UsefulNotes/TheSilentAgeOfAnimation, working for Creator/WaltDisney alongside Creator/UbIwerks and Creator/HarmanAndIsing on the WesternAnimation/OswaldTheLuckyRabbit comedy shorts. After Disney left, he stuck around with Hugh and Rudy at the Charles Mintz studio, even getting the chance to direct on one Mintz Oswald, "Fiery Fireman", before they were fired.

* How Do I Know It's sunday

* Sunday Go To Meetin' Time

* FireAndBrimstoneHell: Was a big fan of this. Shorts taking place here include "Sunday Go to Meetin' Time," "Devil's Feud Cake," "Satan's Waiting" and "The Three Little Bops."

Friz is often (and unfairly) taken for granted because his sense of humor and visual style were more reserved than those of the other directors. Nevertheless, Friz is legendary among animation fans for his strong emphasis on literal, mechanical musical timing - while all of the staff at the studio were capable of this, nobody used it in quite the way Friz did. Having directed more cartoons than any other director at the studio, Freleng directed many, many worthy classics, such as the groundbreaking RogerRabbitEffect short ''Film/YouOughtToBeInPictures'', ''WesternAnimation/TheWabbitWhoCameToSupper'', "Rhapsody In Rivets", ''WesternAnimation/ThreeLittleBops'', among others. He also the majority of the Sylvester and Tweety cartoons, including the acclaimed ''WesternAnimation/BirdsAnonymous'', which is considered his best cartoon.

However, he would later leave the studio to go to the then new Leon Schlesinger cartoon studio alongside Creator/HarmanAndIsing when they requested his help in making their WesternAnimation/BoskoTheTalkInkKid short subjects. Even after Harman and Ising left the studio in '33, Friz came back to Leon to help him touch up some rejected "Buddy" comedies. Friz would continue to be a prominent director in the 30's, cranking out many classic cartoons-including ''WesternAnimation/IHaventGotAHat'', the debut of his character WesternAnimation/PorkyPig in 1935. However, in the late 30's, Friz became interested in MGM's big budget animation department and quit Leon's studio to work there...only to be put onto the mediocre "Captain and the Kids" cartoon series with little to no creative freedom like he had at Leon's studio. Friz despised working on the cartoons, and as soon as his contract expired, he fled the studio and went straight back to Termite Terrace, where he would work until its demise in the early 60's.

After the original Warner Bros. animation studio shut down, Friz teamed up with its last chief executive, David [=DePatie=], to form a new studio on the original lot named Creator/DePatieFrelengEnterprises. With this studio, they not only attempted to revive Warner Bros. cartoons but also created the smash hit WesternAnimation/PinkPanther theatrical and TV cartoons. He also assumed creative duties from Creator/ChuckJones on TV adaptations of Creator/DrSeuss books after Jones's studio closed down. Friz also directed animation for the bridging segments of ''WesternAnimation/TheBugsBunnyRoadRunnerShow'' and even made a few anthology movies like The Looney Looney Looney Bugs Bunny Movie and 1001 Rabbit Tales.

Once Art Davis's unit folded in 1949, he joined Friz too, also sticking around until the early '60s. Other animators that were in Friz's unit for a while include Ken Champin and Manny Perez, both of whom started in the '40s and left in 1953 (though Perez would return when Friz opened Creator/DePatieFrelengEnterprises).
