This thread hasn't got any new posts since 8/1/2013,
but I now made a new post!

Because there is one major thing that Mickey Mouse & Bugs Bunny
has in common.


[Perplexing Debuts of the Main Stars]

Walt Disney: The Walt Disney Studios has made a statement that "Steamboat Willie" was
the official 1st debut cartoon of Mickey Mouse, but Mickey Mouse's real 1st debut was in
"Plane Crazy", because it was the 1st Mickey Mouse cartoon ever produced.

WB: The ancestors of Bugs Bunny have been making their debuts for 3 years:
"Porky's Hare Hunt" 4/30/1938
"Prest-o Change-o" 3/25/1939
"Hare-um Scare-um" 8/12/1939
"Elmer's Candid Camera" 3/2/1940.
But the 1st debut of the real Bugs Bunny was in "A Wild Hare (7/27/1940)".

Robert Crumb compares the Disney cartoons with the WB & Max Fleischer cartoons.

Robert Crumb:
"The short Disney cartoons are not as creative as either Warner Brothers or Max Fleischer, in my opinion.
Max Fleischer of the early ’30s is my favorite of all the short animated cartoons – Betty Boop, Popeye, and
all the other early stuff they did. Disney’s studio was the first to consciously contrive to be clean and wholesome.
Disney himself was very conservative. And in that process, the cartoons became bland and cute and not that interesting.
There still was some good Donald Duck and all that, but they’re not as sharp as the Warner Brothers or Max Fleischer cartoons,
as far as I’m concerned."

Melendez at Warners.
“Leaving Disney (after the 1941 strike) for Warner Brothers was like a breath of fresh air.
At Disney, we were like a bunch of bankers. It was way too serious.
Old Big Brother was always watching you,” said animator and director Bill Melendez in a 1995 interview.
“At Warners, the whole attitude was different. The people were so full of life and as a group,
we were a feisty funny bunch of guys. We received more money to boot.”
Melendez left Warners in 1948 because after years of perfect attendance, Warners refused to pay him
for the day he took off to attend his father-in-law’s funeral.

Disney Vs. Warners.
In 1990 with the release of “Tiny Toons” television series, producer and filmmaker Steven Spielberg told a reporter:
“As a kid, I remember my dad and I would go see the Disney cartoons which were wonderful.
But we only really fell out of our chairs when we were watching Bugs and Elmer Fudd, or Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner.
You could hear the audience laughing hysterically. My father and I laughed shoulder to shoulder. We would die laughing.
Disney made you feel good, but Warner toons cracked you up.”
