  Title: Mel Blanc
  Passage: Melvin Jerome "Mel" Blanc (May 30, 1908 – July 10, 1989) was an American voice actor, actor, radio comedian, and recording artist.  He began his 60-plus-year career performing in radio, but is best remembered for his work in animation as the voices of Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, Tweety Bird, Sylvester the Cat, Yosemite Sam, Foghorn Leghorn, Marvin the Martian, Pepé Le Pew, Speedy Gonzales, Wile E. Coyote, Road Runner, the Tasmanian Devil, and many of the other characters from the "Looney Tunes" and "Merrie Melodies" theatrical cartoons during the golden age of American animation.  He was, in fact, the voice for all of the major male Warner Bros. cartoon characters except for Elmer Fudd, whose voice was provided (uncredited) by fellow radio actor Arthur Q. Bryan, although Blanc later voiced Fudd as well after Bryan's death.
  Title: List of unreleased Warner Bros. animated shorts
  Passage: Following is the list of the "Looney Tunes" and "Tom and Jerry" animated short subjects proposed by either Warner Bros.  Cartoon studio in the 1930s-1960s or Warner Bros.  Animation in the 2000s.  In 1945, Bob Clampett planned to direct a Looney Tunes cartoon that would fictionalize the life of Franklin D. Roosevelt as a dog but when Roosevelt died the project was abandoned.  In the 1950s, Friz Freleng pondered the idea of a one-shot cartoon that would combine Marilyn Monroe's life with the fairytale of Snow White but this project was also shelved when it was deemed too similar to Monroe's own personal life.  Not all abandoned Looney Tunes shorts were one-shots as Looney Tunes comprises several sub-series such as Bugs Bunny, Pepé Le Pew and the Road Runner, to name few.  It is no surprise that not all planned sub-series didn't get off the ground, and many of them ended up either not being produced at all or being reworked into one-shots.  Some of these sub-series were Keystone Kops, Rapid Rabbit and Quick Brown Fox, Corn Plastered, The Eager Beaver, Canyon Kiddies, etc.  None of these went so far as to have individual titles mapped out.
  Title: The Grey Hounded Hare
  Passage: The Grey Hounded Hare is a 1949 "Looney Tunes" short film made by Warner Bros.  Pictures and starring the voice talent of Mel Blanc.  It was directed by Robert McKimson, and animated by John Carey, Phil DeLara, Manny Gould and Charles McKimson, with music scored by Carl Stalling.  The title refers to the greyhounds of the plot as well as "hounded" meaning pestered or pursued relentlessly.
  Title: Looney Tunes: Rabbits Run
  Passage: Looney Tunes: Rabbits Run is a 2015 American animated direct-to-video film based on "The Looney Tunes Show", produced by Warner Bros.  Animation.  It is the first new "Looney Tunes" direct-to-video film in nine years since "Bah, Humduck!  A Looney Tunes Christmas".  The film was directed by Jeff Siergey, a supervising animator on "Space Jam" and lead animator on "".  He was also a director on "The Looney Tunes Show".  It was released on August 4, 2015 by Warner Home Video, but it was released early on July 7, 2015 on Vudu and Walmart.
  Title: Pullet Surprise
  Passage: Pullet Surprise is a 1997 6-minute "Looney Tunes" short released in theaters with "Cats Don't Dance".  It was produced by Chuck Jones Film Productions.  Since this cartoon was produced after the death of legendary Looney Tunes voice artist Mel Blanc, the voice of Foghorn Leghorn is supplied by Frank Gorshin.  Stan Freberg still voiced Pete Puma, after voicing him in the 1952 short, Rabbit's Kin.  The term "pullet" in the title refers to a young female chicken; when pronounced the title also sounds like "Pulitzer Prize".  The short was not included in the DVD release of "Cats Don't Dance", though it was included as a bonus feature on the DVD release of "The Looney Looney Looney Bugs Bunny Movie".
  Title: Long-Haired Hare
  Passage: Long-Haired Hare is a 1949 American animated short film directed by Chuck Jones and written by Michael Maltese.  It was produced by Warner Bros.  Cartoons as a part of the "Looney Tunes" series.  In addition to including the homophones "hair" and "hare", the title is also a pun on "longhairs", a characterization of classical music lovers.  Nicolai Shutorov provides the singing voice of Giovanni Jones.
  Title: Sylvester the Cat
  Passage: Sylvester J. Pussycat Sr., usually called Sylvester, is a fictional character, a three-time Academy Award-winning anthropomorphic, 40, 50, or 60-Inch tall Tuxedo cat in the "Looney Tunes" and "Merrie Melodies" series of cartoons.  Most of his appearances have him often chasing Tweety Bird, Speedy Gonzales, or Hippety Hopper.  The name "Sylvester" is a play on "Felis silvestris", the scientific name for the wild cat species (domestic cats like Sylvester, though, are actually "Felis catus").  The character debuted in Friz Freleng's "Life With Feathers" (1945), but Freleng's 1947 cartoon "Tweetie Pie" was the first pairing of Tweety with Sylvester, and the Bob Clampett-directed "Kitty Kornered" (1946) was Sylvester's first pairing with Porky Pig.  Sylvester was not named until Chuck Jones gave him the name Sylvester, which was first used in Scaredy Cat.  Sylvester appeared in 103 cartoons in the golden age, appearing in the fourth most films out of all the Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies characters, only behind Bugs Bunny, Porky Pig, and Daffy Duck respectively.  Three of his cartoons won Academy Awards, the most for any starring Looney Tunes character: they are "Tweetie Pie", "Speedy Gonzales", and "Birds Anonymous".
  Title: High Diving Hare
  Passage: High Diving Hare is a 1948-produced Warner Brothers "Looney Tunes" (reissued as a Blue Ribbon Merrie Melodie in the beginning, with the original Looney Tunes ending title sequence) theatrical cartoon short starring Bugs Bunny and Yosemite Sam.  Released to theaters on April 30, 1949, the short is an expansion of a gag from "Stage Door Cartoon", which was also directed by Friz Freleng.  "High Diving Hare" can be seen in the third act of "The Looney Looney Looney Bugs Bunny Movie".
