History Trivia / LooneyTunes

* UncreditedRole: For many years, Creator/MelBlanc received no onscreen credit for all the voices he did. He only was given a credit after asking for a raise. His bosses refused to give him one but grudgingly agreed to put his name in the credits. The most notorious example was Arthur Q. Bryan, who voiced Elmer Fudd in over fifty cartoons but was never given on-screen credit, at least not until the '80s compilation films.

* ApprovalOfGod: Eddie Cantor, the original musician who composed "Merrily We Roll Along" (which became the opening theme of ''Merrie Melodies'' and later the BootstrappedTheme of the franchise as a whole), was reportedly fond that it became the theme of "those cute cartoons".

** The infamous [[AudienceAlienatingEra Daffy/Speedy pairing in the mid-to-late 60s]] were a result of this. In 1964, WesternAnimation/BugsBunny, WesternAnimation/DaffyDuck and WesternAnimation/SpeedyGonzales were the three most popular characters in the ''Looney Tunes'' series. Television companies, thus, demanded more cartoons featuring Daffy Duck and Speedy Gonzales (who, at this point, had only starred in about 20 cartoons). Unfortunately, since the newly-reopened Warner Brothers Animation Studio had a very limited budget (due in no small part to the UsefulNotes/FallOfTheStudioSystem), they decided to kill two birds with one stone and pair the two characters rather than continue their cartoons separately.

* CreatorsPest: Warner Bros. grew tired of Buddy towards the end of his short tenure. Starting with "Buddy's Bug Hunt", Buddy's intended replacement, Beans the Cat, signed off with "ThatsAllFolks". Creator/BobClampett referred to Buddy as "Bosko in whiteface"
