Animation from the 1950's-1970's







Looney Tunes



Looney Tunes popularity sky rocketed in the 1950's when Warner Brothers were producing the shorts to be aired on network television. The program became immensely popular by the 1960's.


The characters reckless behavior included smoking, drinking and ingesting pills but this isn't what rose to controversy it was the racial stereotypes made within the characters that became a problem, later leading to the censorship of Speedy Conzales in 1999.

The animation is appealing to look at and the content delivers for both children and adults, its a clever medium for cartoons not just to appeal to those of young ages but old to.
