I think the original Warner Brothers cartoons are works of art - animation, dialoge, music - they don't make stuff like this any more - the "new" Warner Brothers cartoons with the same characters are made for little kids and are commercially driven

My favorites as a kid

Saturday mornings watching Bugs Bunny and Roadrunner show was a big deal as a kid

One of my faves

I am a huge fan of Tom and Jerry classics. My Favorite is "Solid Serenade". Its a shame that the networks will no longer show the politically incorrect cartoons from the classic era.
Favorite with Bugs and Elmer is "Whats Opera, Doc? A hilarious take on Wagners Ring of the Nibelungen.

This reminds me of Tobmstone, where Johhny Ringo and Doc Holiday have the bits about speaking Latin the spelling bee, and the gun/cup twirling.
Doc being the perfect Bugs to Ringo's best "Yosemite Sam.

Reminds me of a hoary old joke:

Once in a land far, far away there lived a group of people called Trids. The Trids were happy except for the huge ogre that lived on the mountain. The ogre would periodically terrorize the Trids. The Trids tired of the ogre and sought to reason with him. They thought one of their religious leaders would be a good intermediary. So a group of Trids and their minister went up the mountain and before they could even say one word the ogre kicked them down the mountain. Not being dismayed the Trids thought that maybe the ogre was Catholic, so they sent another delegation, this time led by the local priest. But alas, as they approached the ogre he once again kicked them all down the mountain. The Trids were upset until they thought that perhaps the ogre was Jewish. Unfortunately, no Trids were Jewish, so they wrote to the people of another land and asked them to send a Rabbi to help them with the ogre. The Rabbi arrived and led a delegation of Trids up the mountain. The ogre saw them coming and kicked all of them, except for the Rabbi, down the mountain. The Rabbi, having been told of the previous expeditions, wondered why he alone had not been kicked down the mountain, so he asked the ogre. The ogre laughed and replied: "Silly Rabbi, kicks are for Trids!"

Yes!

A favorite in "Jewish" Summer Camp, "Hebrew School" and gatherings.

(And all the older kids roll their eyes)

"Long Haired Hare"



The "Leopold" parodied was famous conductor Leopold Stokowski.



This is the one and only time the Road Runner was frightened by one of the Coyote's schemes.

Look at the incredible artwork and detail in this one from MGM.



There is a happy coincidence in the producers' names. [Hugh]Harman + [Rudolf] Ising = Harmonizing.

Anyone remember "Billy Boy"? The goat that would eat anything. That was one of my favorites.
