Picking things up from [[UsefulNotes/LooneyTunesInTheThirties the late 1930s]], the artwork in the studio's cartoons was steadily and strongly improving, as was the content of the films. Tex Avery was still creating street smart, anti-Disney cartoons, such as his recurring travelogue parodies and fairy tale burlesques. Creator/FrizFreleng, fresh back from an unhappy tenure on [[Creator/MetroGoldwynMayer MGM]]'s [[ComicStrip/TheKatzenjammerKids "The Captain and the Kids"]] cartoons, was back to making standard gag cartoons, with previous director Ben Hardaway demoted back to animator, which prompted the latter to pack up and leave for work at the Creator/WalterLantz cartoon studio. Creator/BobClampett was making surprisingly innovative and very playful cartoons in the B&W unit, and even his unit was showing considerable improvements in upgrading their animation, despite still being handicapped by low budgets and restricted to making WesternAnimation/PorkyPig and WesternAnimation/DaffyDuck cartoons. Creator/ChuckJones, meanwhile, was still struggling to find his voice at the studio while using Disney films as his reference point as opposed to the anti-Disney approach of his colleagues, making cartoons such as Sniffles the Mouse, which were impressively crafted and lavish, but cloying and sluggishly paced misfires. His career was also on the line because of this--Leon Schlesinger, who was not pleased with Jones' cutesy cartoons, nor the fact that they required considerable more effort and money than the typical short cartoon, was constantly threatening to demote Jones back to animator if he didn't follow the approach of Avery and Clampett, and in one case came very close to firing him for making ''Tom Thumb in Trouble'', only relenting because the other directors defended Chuck as having what it took to be a good director, but claiming that he just needed time to find his own point of view. But amongst this, the studio would make a discovery that would not only put them on the map, but change animation forever.

The 1940s was the pivotal decade for the entire Looney Tunes franchise, where the series' most important films and characters would come about.
Picking things up from [[UsefulNotes/LooneyTunesInTheThirties the late 1930s]], the artwork in the studio's cartoons was steadily and strongly improving, as was the content of the films. Tex Avery was still creating street smart, anti-Disney cartoons, such as his recurring travelogue parodies and fairy tale burlesques. Creator/FrizFreleng, fresh back from an unhappy tenure on [[Creator/MetroGoldwynMayer MGM]]'s [[ComicStrip/TheKatzenjammerKids "The Captain and the Kids"]] cartoons, was back to making standard gag cartoons, with previous director Ben Hardaway demoted back to animator, which prompted the latter to pack up and leave for work at the Creator/WalterLantz cartoon studio. Creator/BobClampett was making surprisingly innovative and very playful cartoons in the B&W unit, and even his unit was showing considerable improvements in upgrading their animation, despite still being handicapped by low budgets and restricted to making WesternAnimation/PorkyPig and WesternAnimation/DaffyDuck cartoons. Creator/ChuckJones, meanwhile, was still struggling to find his voice at the studio while using Disney films as his reference point as opposed to the anti-Disney approach of his colleagues, making cartoons such as Sniffles the Mouse, which were impressively crafted and lavish, but cloying and sluggishly paced misfires. His career was also on the line because of this--Leon Schlesinger, who was not pleased with Jones' cutesy cartoons, nor the fact that they required considerable more effort and money than the typical short cartoon, was constantly threatening to demote Jones back to animator if he didn't follow the approach of Avery and Clampett, and in one case came very close to firing him for making ''Tom Thumb in Trouble'', only relenting because the other directors defended Chuck as having what it took to be a good director, but claiming that he just needed time to find his own point of view. But amongst this, the studio would make a discovery that would not only put them on the map, but change animation forever.
Amongst Chuck Jones' early cartoons was "WesternAnimation/ElmersCandidCamera", a take on a manic rabbit character that was previously used in two of Ben Hardaway's cartoons[[note]]"Porky's Hare Hunt" (1938) and "Hare-Um Scare-Um" (1939)[[/note]] and one of Jones' earlier shorts[[note]]"Prest-o Change-o", 1939)[[/note]]. Besides introducing the [[TheDitz hopelessly dopey]] Elmer, it also refined the Hardaway rabbit into a more underplayed star, as opposed to a copycat of Daffy Duck as Ben Hardaway had previously portrayed it. Afterwards, Tex Avery decided to do a take on a similar premise that Jones had done, called "WesternAnimation/AWildHare"--the premise of the two cartoons was similar, but Tex replaced Elmer's camera with a gun, and instead of portraying the rabbit as an obnoxious heckler, decided to depict him as a smart alecky wiseacre who plays off the foolishness of his hunter, even mocking his opponent in the face of danger--the total antithesis of a character like WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse, and also a distinction from the studio's milquetoast mascot WesternAnimation/PorkyPig. The character, unnamed in the cartoon proper, but eventually named WesternAnimation/BugsBunny, was finally born, and once "A Wild Hare" turned out to be astoundingly popular in theaters, the studio immediately made him their headlining star, and nothing would ever be the same.
1941 had another important change the studio, starting tragic but turning out to have a silver lining. Creator/TexAvery, the mentor of directors Bob Clampett, Chuck Jones and many other staffers, abruptly quit the studio in disgust to start [[WesternAnimation/TexAveryMGMCartoons his own animation unit at MGM]], due to a large squabble with producer Leon Schlesinger over the creation of the "Speaking of Animals" series. To fill in the gap, Leon promoted Bob Clampett from the B&W unit to the head of Avery's big budget unit, finishing up some leftover Avery cartoons, while also getting a chance to make regular color cartoons starring major players like Bugs Bunny, in addition to making other oneshot cartoons (Bob's lead animator and brief co-director, Norm Mccabe, would inherit Bob's old unit).
Free of the previous handicaps he dealt with and equipped with the studio's best budgets and top animators, Bob was able to push his cartoons to boundaries far beyond what he was able to do before--Bob took what he learned and tinkered with in his B&W films--his sense of comical exaggeration, strong character distortion and dynamic staging, and [[SerialEscalation magnified it to levels unlike anything else seen in the history of animation.]] In films like WesternAnimation/CoalBlackAndDeSebbenDwarfs and WesternAnimation/ACornyConcerto, every creative ingredient he could use was taken advantage of, especially in regards to the actual animation; the characters constantly changed their appearance depending on their emotional state, the animators were actually encouraged to deviate from the model sheets to [[DependingOnTheArtist put their own styles into the characters]]. Not to mention his fast pacing, razor sharp timing, playful wit, and penchant for breaking established series formulas (shorts like ''WesternAnimation/TortoiseWinsByAHare" and "Falling Hare" remarkably turn the Bugs Bunny formula right on its head, with the normally cool and collected Bugs put at the mercy of foes as wily as he is, and even the latter pulls the rug out on the audience [[BreakingTheFourthWall by revealing it is all a gag]]), were perfectly in vogue with a nation going through UsefulNotes/WorldWarII, making Bob the headlining director of the studio from the early to mid 40's.
Meanwhile, Chuck Jones' years of struggling would finally pay off in 1942--finally realizing that emulating Disney was a dead end for him, Jones began focusing on making cartoons with more snappy humor and timing. This was in vogue with his colleagues' work, starting with shorts like "The Draft Horse", but he officially found his own voice with ''WesternAnimation/TheDoverBoys'', a witty parody of a series of books called The Rover Boys. Besides its humorous subject matter, Jones also made major artistic innovations in the cartoon, eschewing Disney-style lushness for blazing fast, exaggerated smears and heavily stylized designs. Even the backgrounds were a modern, stark contrast from the lush, storybook-like watercolors of previous cartoons. While Jones also came dangerously close to losing his job over such a brazen experiment, Dover Boys would prove to be his first shining moment and a popular cartoon, notably laying the groundwork for the stylized work of the up and coming [[Creator/ColumbiaCartoons UPA cartoon studio]]. Even director Norm Mccabe got on the boat with making stylized, modern-looking backgrounds in his b&w cartoons, before he was drafted into the Army's First Motion Picture Unit in WWII. Creator/FrankTashlin, previously an animator and director at the studio in the 30s, would inherit Mccabe's unit, just in time for their cartoons to permanently upgrade to color in 1943. The whole studio would eventually contribute to making the WesternAnimation/PrivateSnafu cartoons for the military alongside their main shorts.
In 1944, Leon Schlesinger sold his cartoon studio to Warner Bros. and retired, leaving a new boss, Eddie Selzer, in charge. Bob Clampett, having hit his directorial peak by the tail end of UsefulNotes/WorldWarII, abruptly quit the studio in 1945, with veteran animator Art Davis taking over his unit. Meanwhile, the studio's top animator, Bob [=McKimson=], would acquire his own unit in 1945, directing a wartime "Seaman Hook" short, but with his first public theatrical short screened in 1946. Frank Tashlin, who had continued to make witty, fast paced cartoons, complete with his own art deco-influenced design sense, was hindered by his desire to move on to live action movies, which gave him a "one foot in, one foot out" situation at the studio, which kept him from truly creatively jelling with the other directors, prompting him to leave the studio one last time in late 1946. Chuck Jones would eventually become the leading director of the studio, introducing many new characters and making his cartoons more stylized than ever by the late 1940's. Most notably, he tinkered with the personalities of Bugs and Daffy in the start of his landmark "Duck Season, Rabbit Season" trilogy, making Bugs a passive-aggressive trickster character, while turning Daffy from a manic screwball to a loudmouthed, egotistical blowhard with the cards stacked against him. He also started his famous Road Runner cartoons, initially starting as a parody of the "Cat Chases Mouse" cartoon formula, but turning it into a straight gag series centered around Wile E Coyote's fanatic attempts to capture the elusive bird. Creator/FrizFreleng, meanwhile, would start making his series of Tweety and Sylvester cartoons, the former having been a character in three Bob Clampett shorts.
By the mid to late 40's, the studio had officially crystallized its house style and brand of humor. Their cartoons became the most popular cartoons during the World War II era, and made waves in the industry--nearly every other studio, including Disney, were attempting to copy their brand of fast-paced slapstick and sardonic humor, to varying degrees of success and failure.
The 1940s cartoons (barring some that have been banned due to outdated ethnic stereotypes and long-forgotten references to World War II) have aired on television, but most will remember that American network television usually aired the shorts made after 1948, though the now defunct WB network and some unnamed local affiliates did air some pre-1948 shorts. Over on cable TV, the post-1948 shorts did air on Nickelodeon (though not as much as the colorized versions of 1930s Porky Pig cartoons, the cartoons made between 1948 and 1963 that had little to no screentime due to not being popular enough, and the much-loathed post-1964 shorts), but the pre-1948 shorts (again, barring the ones that have been banned for outdated racial and ethnic stereotypes and long-forgotten WWII references) were mostly seen on the Ted Turner-owned networks TBS, TNT, Cartoon Network, Boomerang, and even Turner Classic Movies (on its anthology show, ''Cartoon Alley''). As for home media releases, there is a healthy mix of popular and obscure shorts that have made their way to official and unofficial releases, though most will recognize the shorts released between 1948 and 1949 as being the popular picks.
Up next is UsefulNotes/LooneyTunesInTheFifties.
P.S. To nitpickers who are wondering where the ''WesternAnimation/PrivateSnafu'' shorts are, those are listed in their own filmography on the Snafu page.

[[folder: Milestone Shorts]]
* WesternAnimation/ElmersCandidCamera: First official appearance of Elmer Fudd.
* Confederate Honey: One of many Looney Tunes shorts that isn't a Censored Eleven cartoon, but still has no chance of airing uncensored on American television due to the Civil War theme and outdated African slave stereotypes. ''The Golden Age of Looney Tunes'' laserdisc set (and some online video sites that do allow old cartoons to air without fear or frequency of copyright strikes) is about the only way you can see the short uncut, as the DVD version of the movie ''Virginia City'' (as part of the Creator/ErrolFlynn Westerns Collection) is the same censored version that aired on The WB, Cartoon Network, and Boomerang.
* Film/YouOughtToBeInPictures: An "autobiopic" cartoon by Friz Freleng and his brief tenure at MGM, with Porky posing as him.
* WesternAnimation/AWildHare: First official appearance of Bugs Bunny as well as the one that established Elmer's personality and became the source for a lot of Bugs vs. Elmer cartoons.

* The Heckling Hare: Tex Avery's last full cartoon at Warner Bros.
* WesternAnimation/AllThisAndRabbitStew: A two-for-one banned cartoon. Not only is it banned because it's a Censored Eleven short (as the hunter in this cartoon is a slow-witted black man), but it's also part of the list of 12 Bugs Bunny cartoons that were pulled from the 2001 June Bugs marathon that was supposed to show every Bugs Bunny cartoon ever made.
* WesternAnimation/RhapsodyInRivets
* WesternAnimation/WabbitTwouble: Bob Clampett's first color cartoon and his first with Bugs.

* Conrad The Sailor
* Crazy Cruise
* WesternAnimation/HortonHatchesTheEgg: Animated adaptation of Dr. Seuss' story done in Bob Clampett's wacky and suggestive style.
* The Draft Horse
* WesternAnimation/BugsBunnyGetsTheBoid

* Goldilocks and the Jivin' Bears: Final entry in the Censored Eleven and first cartoon to have the notoriously humorless Eddie Selzer as Warner Bros. shorts producer (following the departure of Leon Schlesinger)
* [[WesternAnimation/OdorableKitty Odor-able Kitty]]: First appearance of Pepe Le Pew.
* "WesternAnimation/NastyQuacks"
* Hare Trigger: First appearance of Yosemite Sam.
* "WesternAnimation/BookRevue": A Bob Clampett "Things come to life in a store after closing time" short said to be so outrageous that it's a GenreKiller (although those type of cartoons were already declared on life support when cartoons started to have more concrete plots)

* WesternAnimation/TheStuporSalesman: One in a subgenre of cartoons that sees Daffy Duck as a relentless salesman who won't leave his customers alone (one can interpret this as a synthesis between the wacky Daffy and the later characterization of Daffy who's greedy and relentless)
* WesternAnimation/ScaredyCat: First Sylvester/Porky pairing as part of a trio of shorts where Porky and Sylvester stay in haunted places and Sylvester freaks out over the strange goings-on[[note]]"The Scarlet Pumpernickel" doesn't count, as, while it does include Porky and Sylvester, Sylvester actually speaks and it's a Daffy Duck cartoon[[/note]].
* "WesternAnimation/FastAndFurryous": First appearance of Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner.
* "WesternAnimation/ForScentimentalReasons": Only Pepe Le Pew cartoon to win an Oscar (though 1952's "Little Beau Pepe" was in the running to win another one)[[note]]and, ironically, Eddie Selzer -- who didn't hold the Pepe cartoons in high regard -- accepted the award[[/note]]. First appearance of Penelope Pussycat[[note]]though she isn't named in this short and wouldn't get her official name until 1995, and as such went by several different names in the following shorts[[/note]]. First one to actually get the formula of "female cat gets painted and Pepe mistakes her for a female skunk" down pat. First of three Pepe cartoons where Pepe ends up getting chased in the end.

!1940:
* Porky's Last Stand (LT) (Clampett): WesternAnimation/PorkyPig, WesternAnimation/DaffyDuck. Public domain.
* The Early Worm Gets the Bird (MM) (Avery) Public domain. Not shown very often due to black stereotyping
* Africa Squeaks (LT) (Clampett): Porky. Isn't a Censored Eleven cartoon, but no one is likely to see it (uncut or at all) due to the African savage stereotypes (at least on television and streaming. The ''Porky Pig 101'' DVD set actually has it uncut, uncensored, and in black and white). {{Creator/Nickelodeon}} once aired a redrawn colorized version with no scenes of the African savages, which made for a very short and very incomprehensible cartoon.
[[index]]
* Mighty Hunters (MM) (Jones): Based on Good Housekeeping "Canyon Kiddies" stories.
* WesternAnimation/AliBabaBound (LT) (Clampett): Porky. Public domain.
* Busy Bakers (MM) (Hardaway, Dalton): Last cartoon directed by Ben Hardaway and Cal Dalton.
* WesternAnimation/ElmersCandidCamera (MM) (Jones): Debut of Elmer Fudd. Fourth appearance of the Proto-Bugs. Considered by fans to be their least favorite Creator/ChuckJones cartoon (next to maybe the Censored 11 short, ''Angel Puss'') and one of many reasons why Creator/ChuckJones despised his pre-1948 work.
* Pilgrim Porky (LT) (Clampett): Porky.
* Cross-Country Detours (MM) (Avery)
* Confederate Honey (MM) (Freleng): Elmer. Freleng's return short for Warner Bros. after his ill-fated MGM stint. Not a Censored 11 cartoon, but does have a lot of [[UncleTomFoolery stereotypical black caricatures]] and Civil War themes (as if the title didn't make it obvious) in it, making any chance of seeing this short uncut on TV (or at all on TV) slim to none. It is uncut on the ''Golden Age of Looney Tunes'' laserdisc set (and on online video sites), but, when it was shown as a bonus feature on the ''Virginia City'' DVD, it was the censored TV version and you're not likely to see it on HBO Max.
* Slap-Happy Pappy (LT) (Clampett): Porky.
* The Bear's Tale (MM) (Avery)
* The Hardship of Miles Standish (MM) (Freleng): Elmer.
* Porky's Poor Fish (LT) (Clampett): Porky.
* Sniffles Takes a Trip (MM) (Jones): Sniffles the Mouse.

* The Egg Collector (MM)(Jones): Sniffles.
* WesternAnimation/AWildHare (MM) (Avery): Official debut of WesternAnimation/BugsBunny and the basis for the Bugs vs. Elmer cartoons. In the original version, Elmer guessed Carole Lombard's name in Bugs' game of "Guess Who"? Following Carole Lombard's death in a plane crash (which happened two years after the cartoon premiered), the Blue Ribbon Merrie Melodie rerelease replaced "Carole Lombard" with "Barbara Stanwyck."
* WesternAnimation/GhostWanted (MM) (Jones)
* Patient Porky (LT) (Clampett): Porky, Daffy. A remake to "WesternAnimation/TheDaffyDoc".
* Ceiling Hero (MM) (Avery)

!1941:
[[index]]
* Elmer's Pet Rabbit (MM) (Jones): Bugs, Elmer. First short where Bugs Bunny is referred to by name. A title card after the credits shows a picture of the wascawwy wabbit with the text "Featuring Bugs Bunny". In a case of [[/index]]EarlyInstallmentWeirdness[[index]], Bugs has yellow gloves, no buck teeth, and a completely different voice akin to Creator/JimmyStewart.
* Porky's Snooze Reel (LT) (Clampett, [=McCabe=]): Porky. The last of two Clampett cartoons where Norm [=McCabe=] was credited as co-director due to Clampett being too sick to work.
* The Fighting 69 1/2th (MM) (Freleng)
* Sniffles Bells the Cat (MM) (Jones): Sniffles.
* The Haunted Mouse (LT) (Avery)

* The Cat's Tale (MM) (Freleng)
* Joe Glow the Firefly (LT) (Jones)
* WesternAnimation/TortoiseBeatsHare (MM) (Avery): Bugs. First appearance of Cecil Turtle. First of the "Bugs Bunny and Cecil Turtle" trilogy. Also the first instance of Bugs "losing" in a cartoon.

Coyote cartoons; a wolf contending with another animal acting as a shepherd to a flock of sheep would be seen in the Ralph Wolf and Sam the Sheepdog cartoons; and, most tellingly of all, the wolf dressing in drag and the ram suddenly sounding like Creator/CharlesBoyer and lusting after the wolf would be the entire basis to the Pepe Le Pew cartoons (coincidentally, "Odor-Able Kitty", would come a year after this cartoon premiered).

It ''was'' released on the first volume of MGM/UA's ''Golden Age of Looney Tunes'' Laserdisc series[[note]]which comprised of every ''Looney Tunes'' short under Turner Entertainment's control at the time, with the exception of the WesternAnimation/CensoredEleven[[/note]] until Japanese-American advocacy groups objected to its inclusion on a VHS version of that same volume.

[[index]]
* Wise Quackers (Freleng): Daffy, Elmer. Hasn't been seen on TV since the 1990s due to the black slavery references. It did air on ''The Merrie Melodies Show'' with the scene of Daffy [[UncleTomfoolery acting like an old black slave to prove to Elmer that he'll be loyal to him]] edited (ABC also aired this cartoon in the mid-1980s with the Uncle Tom scene cut, and also a scene where Elmer's neighbor hits him over the head with a hammer), but after that, it disappeared from the airwaves on American TV.

* The Awful Orphan (Jones): Charlie Dog, Porky.
* Porky Chops (Davis): Porky.

It has aired on American television (on the WB, it was edited severely to avoid the racial stereotyping, while ABC just edited the blackface cigar gag and some comic violence), but not very often. Is now on the Looney Tunes Golden Collection (fourth volume) uncut and uncensored.
* Paying the Piper ([=McKimson=]): Porky.

* Each Dawn I Crow (Freleng): Elmer.
* WesternAnimation/FrigidHare (Jones): Bugs. One of the Banned Bugs Bunny 12 due to the Eskimo (Inuit) antagonist, despite that it later aired on Cartoon Network following Chuck Jones' death in 2002 (and previously aired on FOX's ''The Merrie Melodies Show'' in the 1990s) with two lines cut: Bugs calling the Inuit hunter an "Eskimo piehead" and Bugs happily declaring that, since the polar days are six months long, he doesn't have to worry about going back to work until July of 1953 (the latter line is edited due to Warner Bros. policy to try and keep the shorts from being dated, even though most shorts aren't edited to conform to that rule. When the original ''Bugs Bunny Show'' aired this short in 1965, the "July of 1953" line was changed to "July of 1968").
* Swallow the Leader ([=McKimson=])
* Bye, Bye, Bluebeard (Davis): Porky. Final cartoon directed by Arthur Davis until 1962, as his unit was shut down by Warner Bros. in order to minimize costs. Davis would work for Friz Freleng for the time being.
* WesternAnimation/ForScentimentalReasons [[/index]](Jones): WesternAnimation/PepeLePew. Is the first Pepe cartoon to have Pepe paired with a female cat, have the cartoon take place in France, and is the first of three Pepe cartoons to [[spoiler:have the female cat chase Pepe in the end]]. Is also the only Pepe cartoon to win an Oscar (which Eddie Selzer -- WB's studio head at the time who thought the Pepe cartoons wouldn't appeal to anyone -- accepted following its win).
* Hippety Hopper ([=McKimson=]): Sylvester, Hippety Hopper.
* Which is Witch (Freleng): Bugs. This short is not often seen on television due to [[HollywoodNatives the African savage stereotyping]]. It did air (albeit with edits) on CBS in the 1980s, Nickelodeon in the 1990s, and on Cartoon Network's Japanese channel (actual decade unknown).
* Bear Feat (Jones): The Three Bears.
* WesternAnimation/RabbitHood (Jones): Bugs.
* WesternAnimation/AHamInARole ([=McKimson=]): Goofy Gophers.

[[caption-width-right:349:Now that's the Looney Tunes we all know and love.]]
!!!This is Part Two of the UsefulNotes/LooneyTunesAndMerrieMelodiesFilmography, covering all main series shorts from [[UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfAnimation 1940 to 1949.]] A total of 307 shorts were released during this time.
The 1940s was the pivotal decade for the entire Looney Tunes franchise, where the series' most important films and characters would come about.
Picking things up from [[UsefulNotes/LooneyTunesInTheThirties the late 1930s]], the artwork in the studio's cartoons was steadily and strongly improving, as was the content of the films. Tex Avery was still creating street smart, anti-Disney cartoons, such as his recurring travelogue parodies and fairy tale burlesques. Creator/FrizFreleng, fresh back from an unhappy tenure on [[Creator/MetroGoldwynMayer MGM]]'s [[ComicStrip/TheKatzenjammerKids "The Captain and the Kids"]] cartoons, was back to making standard gag cartoons, with previous director Ben Hardaway demoted back to animator, which prompted the latter to pack up and leave for work at the Creator/WalterLantz cartoon studio. Creator/BobClampett was making surprisingly innovative and very playful cartoons in the B&W unit, and even his unit was showing considerable improvements in upgrading their animation, despite still being handicapped by low budgets and restricted to making WesternAnimation/PorkyPig and WesternAnimation/DaffyDuck cartoons. Creator/ChuckJones, meanwhile, was still struggling to find his voice at the studio while using Disney films as his reference point as opposed to the anti-Disney approach of his colleagues, making cartoons such as Sniffles the Mouse, which were impressively crafted and lavish, but cloying and sluggishly paced misfires. His career was also on the line because of this--Leon Schlesinger, who was not pleased with Jones' cutesy cartoons, nor the fact that they required considerable more effort and money than the typical short cartoon, was constantly threatening to demote Jones back to animator if he didn't follow the approach of Avery and Clampett, and in one case came very close to firing him for making ''Tom Thumb in Trouble'', only relenting because the other directors defended Chuck as having what it took to be a good director, but claiming that he just needed time to find his own point of view. But amongst this, the studio would make a discovery that would not only put them on the map, but change animation forever.
Amongst Chuck Jones' early cartoons was "WesternAnimation/ElmersCandidCamera", a take on a manic rabbit character that was previously used in two of Ben Hardaway's cartoons[[note]]"Porky's Hare Hunt" (1938) and "Hare-Um Scare-Um" (1939)[[/note]] and one of Jones' earlier shorts[[note]]"Prest-o Change-o", 1939)[[/note]]. Besides introducing the [[TheDitz hopelessly dopey]] Elmer, it also refined the Hardaway rabbit into a more underplayed star, as opposed to a copycat of Daffy Duck as Ben Hardaway had previously portrayed it. Afterwards, Tex Avery decided to do a take on a similar premise that Jones had done, called "WesternAnimation/AWildHare"--the premise of the two cartoons was similar, but Tex replaced Elmer's camera with a gun, and instead of portraying the rabbit as an obnoxious heckler, decided to depict him as a smart alecky wiseacre who plays off the foolishness of his hunter, even mocking his opponent in the face of danger--the total antithesis of a character like WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse, and also a distinction from the studio's milquetoast mascot WesternAnimation/PorkyPig. The character, unnamed in the cartoon proper, but eventually named WesternAnimation/BugsBunny, was finally born, and once "A Wild Hare" turned out to be astoundingly popular in theaters, the studio immediately made him their headlining star, and nothing would ever be the same.
1941 had another important change the studio, starting tragic but turning out to have a silver lining. Creator/TexAvery, the mentor of directors Bob Clampett, Chuck Jones and many other staffers, abruptly quit the studio in disgust to start [[WesternAnimation/TexAveryMGMCartoons his own animation unit at MGM]], due to a large squabble with producer Leon Schlesinger over the creation of the "Speaking of Animals" series. To fill in the gap, Leon promoted Bob Clampett from the B&W unit to the head of Avery's big budget unit, finishing up some leftover Avery cartoons, while also getting a chance to make regular color cartoons starring major players like Bugs Bunny, in addition to making other oneshot cartoons (Bob's lead animator and brief co-director, Norm Mccabe, would inherit Bob's old unit).
Free of the previous handicaps he dealt with and equipped with the studio's best budgets and top animators, Bob was able to push his cartoons to boundaries far beyond what he was able to do before--Bob took what he learned and tinkered with in his B&W films--his sense of comical exaggeration, strong character distortion and dynamic staging, and [[SerialEscalation magnified it to levels unlike anything else seen in the history of animation.]] In films like WesternAnimation/CoalBlackAndDeSebbenDwarfs and WesternAnimation/ACornyConcerto, every creative ingredient he could use was taken advantage of, especially in regards to the actual animation; the characters constantly changed their appearance depending on their emotional state, the animators were actually encouraged to deviate from the model sheets to [[DependingOnTheArtist put their own styles into the characters]]. Not to mention his fast pacing, razor sharp timing, playful wit, and penchant for breaking established series formulas (shorts like ''WesternAnimation/TortoiseWinsByAHare" and "Falling Hare" remarkably turn the Bugs Bunny formula right on its head, with the normally cool and collected Bugs put at the mercy of foes as wily as he is, and even the latter pulls the rug out on the audience [[BreakingTheFourthWall by revealing it is all a gag]]), were perfectly in vogue with a nation going through UsefulNotes/WorldWarII, making Bob the headlining director of the studio from the early to mid 40's.
Meanwhile, Chuck Jones' years of struggling would finally pay off in 1942--finally realizing that emulating Disney was a dead end for him, Jones began focusing on making cartoons with more snappy humor and timing. This was in vogue with his colleagues' work, starting with shorts like "The Draft Horse", but he officially found his own voice with ''WesternAnimation/TheDoverBoys'', a witty parody of a series of books called The Rover Boys. Besides its humorous subject matter, Jones also made major artistic innovations in the cartoon, eschewing Disney-style lushness for blazing fast, exaggerated smears and heavily stylized designs. Even the backgrounds were a modern, stark contrast from the lush, storybook-like watercolors of previous cartoons. While Jones also came dangerously close to losing his job over such a brazen experiment, Dover Boys would prove to be his first shining moment and a popular cartoon, notably laying the groundwork for the stylized work of the up and coming [[Creator/ColumbiaCartoons UPA cartoon studio]]. Even director Norm Mccabe got on the boat with making stylized, modern-looking backgrounds in his b&w cartoons, before he was drafted into the Army's First Motion Picture Unit in WWII. Creator/FrankTashlin, previously an animator and director at the studio in the 30s, would inherit Mccabe's unit, just in time for their cartoons to permanently upgrade to color in 1943. The whole studio would eventually contribute to making the WesternAnimation/PrivateSnafu cartoons for the military alongside their main shorts.
In 1944, Leon Schlesinger sold his cartoon studio to Warner Bros. and retired, leaving a new boss, Eddie Selzer, in charge. Bob Clampett, having hit his directorial peak by the tail end of UsefulNotes/WorldWarII, abruptly quit the studio in 1945, with veteran animator Art Davis taking over his unit. Meanwhile, the studio's top animator, Bob [=McKimson=], would acquire his own unit in 1945, directing a wartime "Seaman Hook" short, but with his first public theatrical short screened in 1946. Frank Tashlin, who had continued to make witty, fast paced cartoons, complete with his own art deco-influenced design sense, was hindered by his desire to move on to live action movies, which gave him a "one foot in, one foot out" situation at the studio, which kept him from truly creatively jelling with the other directors, prompting him to leave the studio one last time in late 1946. Chuck Jones would eventually become the leading director of the studio, introducing many new characters and making his cartoons more stylized than ever by the late 1940's. Most notably, he tinkered with the personalities of Bugs and Daffy in the start of his landmark "Duck Season, Rabbit Season" trilogy, making Bugs a passive-aggressive trickster character, while turning Daffy from a manic screwball to a loudmouthed, egotistical blowhard with the cards stacked against him. He also started his famous Road Runner cartoons, initially starting as a parody of the "Cat Chases Mouse" cartoon formula, but turning it into a straight gag series centered around Wile E Coyote's fanatic attempts to capture the elusive bird. Creator/FrizFreleng, meanwhile, would start making his series of Tweety and Sylvester cartoons, the former having been a character in three Bob Clampett shorts.
By the mid to late 40's, the studio had officially crystallized its house style and brand of humor. Their cartoons became the most popular cartoons during the World War II era, and made waves in the industry--nearly every other studio, including Disney, were attempting to copy their brand of fast-paced slapstick and sardonic humor, to varying degrees of success and failure.
The 1940s cartoons (barring some that have been banned due to outdated ethnic stereotypes and long-forgotten references to World War II) have aired on television, but most will remember that American network television usually aired the shorts made after 1948, though the now defunct WB network and some unnamed local affiliates did air some pre-1948 shorts. Over on cable TV, the post-1948 shorts did air on Nickelodeon (though not as much as the colorized versions of 1930s Porky Pig cartoons, the cartoons made between 1948 and 1963 that had little to no screentime due to not being popular enough, and the much-loathed post-1964 shorts), but the pre-1948 shorts (again, barring the ones that have been banned for outdated racial and ethnic stereotypes and long-forgotten WWII references) were mostly seen on the Ted Turner-owned networks TBS, TNT, Cartoon Network, Boomerang, and even Turner Classic Movies (on its anthology show, ''Cartoon Alley''). As for home media releases, there is a healthy mix of popular and obscure shorts that have made their way to official and unofficial releases, though most will recognize the shorts released between 1948 and 1949 as being the popular picks.
Up next is UsefulNotes/LooneyTunesInTheFifties.
P.S. To nitpickers who are wondering where the ''WesternAnimation/PrivateSnafu'' shorts are, those are listed in their own filmography on the Snafu page.
----
[[folder: Milestone Shorts]]
* WesternAnimation/ElmersCandidCamera: First official appearance of Elmer Fudd.
* Confederate Honey: One of many Looney Tunes shorts that isn't a Censored Eleven cartoon, but still has no chance of airing uncensored on American television due to the Civil War theme and outdated African slave stereotypes. ''The Golden Age of Looney Tunes'' laserdisc set (and some online video sites that do allow old cartoons to air without fear or frequency of copyright strikes) is about the only way you can see the short uncut, as the DVD version of the movie ''Virginia City'' (as part of the Creator/ErrolFlynn Westerns Collection) is the same censored version that aired on The WB, Cartoon Network, and Boomerang.
* Film/YouOughtToBeInPictures: An "autobiopic" cartoon by Friz Freleng and his brief tenure at MGM, with Porky posing as him.
* WesternAnimation/AWildHare: First official appearance of Bugs Bunny as well as the one that established Elmer's personality and became the source for a lot of Bugs vs. Elmer cartoons.

* The Heckling Hare: Tex Avery's last full cartoon at Warner Bros.
* WesternAnimation/AllThisAndRabbitStew: A two-for-one banned cartoon. Not only is it banned because it's a Censored Eleven short (as the hunter in this cartoon is a slow-witted black man), but it's also part of the list of 12 Bugs Bunny cartoons that were pulled from the 2001 June Bugs marathon that was supposed to show every Bugs Bunny cartoon ever made.
* WesternAnimation/RhapsodyInRivets
* WesternAnimation/WabbitTwouble: Bob Clampett's first color cartoon and his first with Bugs.

* [[WesternAnimation/OdorableKitty Odor-able Kitty]]: First appearance of Pepe Le Pew.
* "WesternAnimation/NastyQuacks"
* Hare Trigger: First appearance of Yosemite Sam.
* "WesternAnimation/BookRevue": A Bob Clampett "Things come to life in a store after closing time" short said to be so outrageous that it's a GenreKiller (although those type of cartoons were already declared on life support when cartoons started to have more concrete plots)

* WesternAnimation/TheStuporSalesman: One in a subgenre of cartoons that sees Daffy Duck as a relentless salesman who won't leave his customers alone (one can interpret this as a synthesis between the wacky Daffy and the later characterization of Daffy who's greedy and relentless)
* WesternAnimation/ScaredyCat: First Sylvester/Porky pairing as part of a trio of shorts where Porky and Sylvester stay in haunted places and Sylvester freaks out over the strange goings-on[[note]]"The Scarlet Pumpernickel" doesn't count, as, while it does include Porky and Sylvester, Sylvester actually speaks and it's a Daffy Duck cartoon[[/note]].
* "WesternAnimation/FastAndFurryous": First appearance of Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner.
* "WesternAnimation/ForScentimentalReasons": Only Pepe Le Pew cartoon to win an Oscar (though 1952's "Little Beau Pepe" was in the running to win another one)[[note]]and, ironically, Eddie Selzer -- who didn't hold the Pepe cartoons in high regard -- accepted the award[[/note]]. First appearance of Penelope Pussycat[[note]]though she isn't named in this short and wouldn't get her official name until 1995, and as such went by several different names in the following shorts[[/note]]. First one to actually get the formula of "female cat gets painted and Pepe mistakes her for a female skunk" down pat. First of three Pepe cartoons where Pepe ends up getting chased in the end.

!1940:
* Porky's Last Stand (LT) (Clampett): WesternAnimation/PorkyPig, WesternAnimation/DaffyDuck. Public domain.
* The Early Worm Gets the Bird (MM) (Avery) Public domain. Not shown very often due to black stereotyping
* Africa Squeaks (LT) (Clampett): Porky. Isn't a Censored Eleven cartoon, but no one is likely to see it (uncut or at all) due to the African savage stereotypes (at least on television and streaming. The ''Porky Pig 101'' DVD set actually has it uncut, uncensored, and in black and white). {{Creator/Nickelodeon}} once aired a redrawn colorized version with no scenes of the African savages, which made for a very short and very incomprehensible cartoon.
[[index]]
* Mighty Hunters (MM) (Jones): Based on Good Housekeeping "Canyon Kiddies" stories.
* WesternAnimation/AliBabaBound (LT) (Clampett): Porky. Public domain.
* Busy Bakers (MM) (Hardaway, Dalton): Last cartoon directed by Ben Hardaway and Cal Dalton.
* WesternAnimation/ElmersCandidCamera (MM) (Jones): Debut of Elmer Fudd. Fourth appearance of the Proto-Bugs.

* Pilgrim Porky (LT) (Clampett): Porky.
* Cross-Country Detours (MM) (Avery)
* Confederate Honey (MM) (Freleng): Elmer. Freleng's return short for Warner Bros. after his ill-fated MGM stint. Not a Censored 11 cartoon, but does have a lot of [[UncleTomFoolery stereotypical black caricatures]] and Civil War themes (as if the title didn't make it obvious) in it, making any chance of seeing this short uncut on TV (or at all on TV) slim to none. It is uncut on the ''Golden Age of Looney Tunes'' laserdisc set (and on online video sites), but, when it was shown as a bonus feature on the ''Virginia City'' DVD, it was the censored TV version and you're not likely to see it on HBO Max.
* Slap-Happy Pappy (LT) (Clampett): Porky.
* The Bear's Tale (MM) (Avery)
* The Hardship of Miles Standish (MM) (Freleng): Elmer.
* Porky's Poor Fish (LT) (Clampett): Porky.

* WesternAnimation/AWildHare (MM) (Avery): Official debut of WesternAnimation/BugsBunny and the basis for the Bugs vs. Elmer cartoons. In the original version, Elmer guessed Carole Lombard's name in Bugs' game of "Guess Who"? Following Carole Lombard's death in a plane crash (which happened two years after the cartoon premiered), the Blue Ribbon Merrie Melodie rerelease replaced "Carole Lombard" with "Barbara Stanwyck."
* WesternAnimation/GhostWanted (MM) (Jones)
* Patient Porky (LT) (Clampett): Porky, Daffy. A remake to "WesternAnimation/TheDaffyDoc".

[[index]]
* Elmer's Pet Rabbit (MM) (Jones): Bugs, Elmer. First short where Bugs Bunny is referred to by name. A title card after the credits shows a picture of the wascawwy wabbit with the text "Featuring Bugs Bunny". In a case of [[/index]]EarlyInstallmentWeirdness[[index]], Bugs has yellow gloves, no buck teeth, and a completely different voice akin to Creator/JimmyStewart.
* Porky's Snooze Reel (LT) (Clampett, [=McCabe=]): Porky. The last of two Clampett cartoons where Norm [=McCabe=] was credited as co-director due to Clampett being too sick to work.
* The Fighting 69 1/2th (MM) (Freleng)
* Sniffles Bells the Cat (MM) (Jones): Sniffles.

* WesternAnimation/TheWackyWorm (MM) (Freleng)
* WesternAnimation/MeetJohnDoughboy (Clampett): Porky.

* I Got Plenty of Mutton (Tashlin): A one-shot cartoon featuring a lot of hallmarks that would be common in Chuck Jones' later series: the starving wolf reduced to eating food scraps would feature heavily in the Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote cartoons; a wolf contending with another animal acting as a shepherd to a flock of sheep would be seen in the Ralph Wolf and Sam the Sheepdog cartoons; and, most tellingly of all, the wolf dressing in drag and the ram suddenly sounding like Creator/CharlesBoyer and lusting after the wolf would be the entire basis to the Pepe Le Pew cartoons (coincidentally, "Odor-Able Kitty", would come a year after this cartoon premiered).

* WesternAnimation/BugsBunnyNipsTheNips (Freleng): A blatantly anti-Japanese WartimeCartoon[[note]]though Norm [=McCabe=]'s "Tokio Jokio" is worse in that regard[[/note]] that will never see the light of day outside of Internet video sites (unless WB releases the UsefulNotes/WorldWarII cartoons that they didn't put in the sixth and final Looney Tunes Golden Collection DVD set[[note]]though it did air in clips on Cartoon Network during the ''[=ToonHeads=]'' episode about World War II cartoons[[/note]]). It ''was'' released on the first volume of MGM/UA's ''Golden Age of Looney Tunes'' Laserdisc series[[note]]which comprised of every ''Looney Tunes'' short under Turner Entertainment's control at the time, with the exception of the WesternAnimation/CensoredEleven[[/note]] until Japanese-American advocacy groups objected to its inclusion on a VHS version of that same volume.

[[/index]]

[[index]]
* Wise Quackers (Freleng): Daffy, Elmer. Hasn't been seen on TV since the 1990s due to the black slavery references. It did air on ''The Merrie Melodies Show'' with the scene of Daffy [[UncleTomfoolery acting like an old black slave to prove to Elmer that he'll be loyal to him]] edited (ABC also aired this cartoon in the mid-1980s with the Uncle Tom scene cut, and also a scene where Elmer's neighbor hits him over the head with a hammer), but after that, it disappeared from the airwaves on American TV. Despite this, it is on the ''Looney Tunes Superstars'' DVD release ("Daffy Duck: Frustrated Fowl").
* Hare Do (Freleng): Bugs, Elmer.
* WesternAnimation/HolidayForDrumsticks (Davis): Daffy.
* The Awful Orphan (Jones): Charlie Dog, Porky.
* Porky Chops (Davis): Porky.
* WesternAnimation/MississippiHare (Jones): Bugs.

It has aired on American television (on the WB, it was edited severely to avoid the racial stereotyping, while ABC just edited the blackface cigar gag and some comic violence), but not very often. Is now on the Looney Tunes Golden Collection (fourth volume) uncut and uncensored.

* Each Dawn I Crow (Freleng): Elmer.
* WesternAnimation/FrigidHare (Jones): Bugs. One of the Banned Bugs Bunny 12 due to the Eskimo (Inuit) antagonist, despite that it later aired on Cartoon Network following Chuck Jones' death in 2002 (and previously aired on FOX's ''The Merrie Melodies Show'' in the 1990s) with two lines cut: Bugs calling the Inuit hunter an "Eskimo piehead" and Bugs happily declaring that, since the polar days are six months long, he doesn't have to worry about going back to work until July of 1953 (the latter line is edited due to Warner Bros. policy to try and keep the shorts from being dated, even though most shorts aren't edited to conform to that rule. When the original ''Bugs Bunny Show'' aired this short in 1965, the "July of 1953" line was changed to "July of 1968").
* Swallow the Leader ([=McKimson=])
* Bye, Bye, Bluebeard (Davis): Porky. Final cartoon directed by Arthur Davis until 1962, as his unit was shut down by Warner Bros. in order to minimize costs. Davis would work for Friz Freleng for the time being.
* WesternAnimation/ForScentimentalReasons [[/index]](Jones): WesternAnimation/PepeLePew. Is the first Pepe cartoon to have Pepe paired with a female cat, have the cartoon take place in France, and is the first of three Pepe cartoons to [[spoiler:have the female cat chase Pepe in the end]]. Is also the only Pepe cartoon to win an Oscar (which Eddie Selzer -- WB's studio head at the time who thought the Pepe cartoons wouldn't appeal to anyone -- accepted following its win).
* Hippety Hopper ([=McKimson=]): Sylvester, Hippety Hopper.
* Which is Witch (Freleng): Bugs. This short is not often seen on television due to [[HollywoodNatives the African savage stereotyping]]. It did air (albeit with edits) on CBS in the 1980s, Nickelodeon in the 1990s, and on Cartoon Network's Japanese channel (actual decade unknown).
* Bear Feat (Jones): The Three Bears.
* WesternAnimation/RabbitHood (Jones): Bugs.
