That's Warner Bros.! -
Since the release of its first cartoon, "Sinking in the Bathtub," in 1930, Warner Bros. Animation and its family of now-classic animated characters have evolved into a beloved part of our culture and have emerged as true entertainment legends enjoyed worldwide by both children and adults. Setting the standard for irreverent, satirical humor and inventive quality animation, the studio created such venerable stars as the indomitable Bugs Bunny, the explosive Daffy Duck, the tender-hearted Porky Pig and their mischievous cohorts Elmer Fudd, Road Runner, Wile E. Coyote, Yosemite Sam, Tasmanian Devil, Speedy Gonzales, Foghorn Leghorn, Pepe LePew, Henry Hawk, Marvin the Martian, Michigan J. Frog, Granny and Sylvester and Tweety, to name but a few of the more than 100 Warner Bros. ambassadors of humor.
Making almost all of the characters come alive was the extraordinary vocal talent of Mel Blanc. Blanc created the voices for all of Warner Bros.' major characters (with the exception of Elmer Fudd, voiced by Cliff Nazarro) and performed them with a distinct style all his own. Blanc's diverse and varied voices were truly wondrous to listen to and even more engaging to watch on-screen as his voices became real -- people and animals alike. From Bugs Bunny's sassy rasp to Sylvester's sloppy drawl to Yosemite Sam's firebrand fury, what made Blanc truly the master was his incomparable skills as an actor and a comedian.
