Warner Bros. Studios Animation Art

Only Warner Bros. has ever managed to mount a serious challenge to Disney for the title of "best in animation." Most of the Warner Bros. cartoons we all know and love were shown in theaters years before many of today's fans were born. And therein lies much of Warner's advantage over their contemporary competitors. Warner Bros. cartoons were primarily aimed at adult moviegoers. Therefore, the humor could be more sophisticated and deal more deliberately with current events, especially during and immediately following World War II. When, around 1960, making cartoons for the movie theaters stopped being profitable, Warner Bros. shut down their animation unit. Sadly, they threw away the vast majority of the original artwork they had kept over the years. But television brought Chuck Jones and Friz Freleng back to the animation table, and they continued to make some wonderful cartoons for many years thereafter. Here we offer you some samples of those fabulous characters.

The magazine itself has all sorts of treats for fans of the Wascaly Wabbit, including interviews with Chuck Jones and Friz Freleng, the two men most associated with Bugs over the years.
