The Warner Brothers cartoons from the "golden era" (see also January 18 and 19*) remain some of the most sophisticated and hilarious animated films ever produced, thanks in large part to the genius of Charles M. (Chuck) Jones, a director for WB's animation department for nearly twenty-five years. Father to The Roadrunner, Coyote and Pepe le Pew, he also helped to mold the characters of Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Elmer Fudd, et al. Jones' mastery of slapstick movement and characterization has been compared to Keaton's in its refinement; his motto, "Never talk down to anyone, he may be standing in a hole," led to the kind of cartoons that work on many levels of sophistication, as when Daffy Duck battles the film frame itself in Duck Amuck. The films, in alphabetical order are: Bear Feat (1949, Three Bears); Bully for Bugs (1953, Bugs Bunny); Cheese Chasers (1951, Hubie, Bertie, Claude Cat); Duck Amuck (1952, Daffy Duck); Duck Dodgers in the 24th Century (1953, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig); The Ducksters (1951, Daffy Duck); Feed the Kitty (1952, Marc Antony); Long Haired Hare (1949, Bugs Bunny); Mississippi Hare (1948, Bugs Bunny); Mouse Wreckers (1949, Hubie, Bertie, Claude Cat); Rabbit of Seville (1950, Bugs Bunny, Elmer Fudd); Rabbit Seasoning (1952, Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Elmer Fudd); Scaredy Cat (1948, Porky Pig, Sylvester); The Scarlet Pumpernickel (1950, Daffy Duck and Movie Stars); What's Opera, Doc? (1957, Bugs Bunny, Elmer Fudd). *Note: Several of these films will be repeated in The Best of Warner Brothers Cartoons and More of the Best of Warner Brothers Cartoons, January 18 and 19. As cartoons of this era often contain violence and racial stereotyping, we do not recommend these programs for young children.
