This is a collection of links to Looney Tunes and cartoon related
sites elsewhere on the internet that I am sure can help you in your search for
knowledge of Looney Tunes and other classic animation. These represent my favorites, many of
the sites I link to here have their own link pages, with even more cool
pages.
Looney Tunes Official WB
Site
This is Warner Bros.' official Looney Tunes site. Not much here,
someday maybe they'll start doing something with it again.
The Unofficial Looney
Tunes and Merrie Melodies Page
Simply the best, in my opinion, Looney Tunes resource out there.
Without Jon Cooke's LT/MM page, mine and many of these other sites below may
have never existed. I owe a lot to Jon and to his site, particularly to his
message forum, the Termite Terrace Trading Post, (also linked to through this
site!) where you can discuss almost any topic pertaining to cartoons, and
someone will ALWAYS know about it.
Jerry Beck's Cartoon
Research Co.
This is the page of
the guy who literally wrote the book on Looney Tunes...several of them actually.
This includes news and commentary pertaining to all cartoons, classic and new,
with special sections devoted to rare cartoon title art for any studio you can
think of, plus reviews, a listing of animated feature films, and a page where
Jerry can answer some pretty darn tough questions! This is a required visit for
anyone reading my page!
Cartoon Brew
Yet another project by Jerry Beck, along with fellow animation
fan/critic Amid Amidi. Lots of up-to-date news on classic animation and new
stuff you might be interested in.
Looney Tunes and
Merrie Melodies: The Early Years
Brian Cruz's site devoted to the Harman and Ising years of Warner
Bros. cartoons. Learn about such characters as Bosko, Goopy Geer and Foxy, plus
see pictures and plot summaries of all Harman/Ising Warner output.
The
Looney Tunes Hidden Gags
Here's a site I have fun reading...did you know that the animators
put all sorts of hidden stuff into their cartoons? Ever wonder what "Friz" soda
was? It's updated from time to time, and you can go in title-alphabetized order.
Pictures of each hidden gag and an explanation are included in almost every
entry.
The Looney Tunes Crash
Course
Great fan site about Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote run by a guy
named Ken Seaman.. Hasn't been updated in ages, but it's worth a look just the
same. Anything and
everything about these characters can be found here.
One Foggy
Site
A very complete site featuring Foghorn Leghorn, that big,
loud-mouthed southern rooster with a degree in dog torture. Ah say, ah say, very
informative, boy...listen to me when I'm talkin' to ya!
Martin Juneau's
Looney Tunes Page
frequent visitor to this site and member of the Termite Terrace
Trading Post, our Canadian friend Martin Juneau has a great Looney Tunes site in French!
Walter Lantz
Cartune Encyclopedia:
The Lantz-Opedia is a very in-depth site created by several fellow
Golden Age Cartoons staffers. It's about, well, Walter Lantz cartoons. If you'd
like to learn more about the studio that brought us Woody Woodpecker, Chilly
Willy, Andy Panda and many more, this is the place.
Columbia Crow's
Nest:
The average guy on the street might not know that the
Columbia/Screen Gems studio ever had a cartoon department. Thanks to Pietro
Shakarian, now they will! They may be slightly forgotten these days, but
Columbia made good cartoons. The Fox and the Crow, Gerald McBoing Boing
and Mister Magoo are among the favorite characters this studio created.You can
view character filmographies, biographies, and learn more about the Fox and
Crow's more successful run as a comic book!
