What's Up, Doc? Blog Hop




Welcome to “What’s Up Doc” blog hop!!!!

1930: Birth of Warner's cartoons

Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, and Porky Pig are three of the animated cartoon characters that have become central to the corporate image of Warner Brothers. Bosko was introduced as their first character in “Sinkin’ in the Bathtub” with a sister series, Merrie Melodies in 1931. Bosko was taken to MGM due to a contractual dispute where Buddy was then born (a Bosko clone).

Porky Pig was born in 1936 which established the character as the studio's first bona fide star. In addition to Porky Pig, Warner Brothers cartoon characters Daffy Duck (who debuted in the 1937 short Porky's Duck Hunt) and Bugs Bunny (who debuted in the 1940 short A Wild Hare) also achieved star power. By 1942, the Schlesinger studio had surpassed Walt Disney Studios as the most successful producer of animated shorts in the United States.

Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Tweety Bird, Sylvester, and Porky Pig became central to the company's image in subsequent decades. Bugs remains a mascot to Warner Bros.' various divisions and Six Flags (which Time Warner previously owned). In fact, it was the success of the compilation film, The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Movie.

I’m glad you stopped by to visit today and you should have arrived from Kimberly's blog. If you haven’t arrived from there, we wouldn’t want you to miss a single episode and would love for you to start at the beginning instead of the refreshments at Lynne's blog.

What’s a hop without goodies – there will be surprise package of goodies. To be eligible, you will need to visit each of the stops along the way and to leave comments at each. Also, we would love to have you become a follower and leave a way to contact you!!!

For my project today I made a cute little Tweety bird card. I used a free svg file Mardenz.com. The inside of the card says "You're such a TWEETY".


With all of these facts being said, “I tawt a taw a puddy tat”, “that wascally wabbit”, “What’s up Doc”, “you’re desthpicable”, “sufferin’ succotash”, and …….. “Th-th-th-that's all folks!” with going to the next stop along the way is Lisa.

  7. I'm hoping you can help me. I noticed you have several of Mardenz files listed on your site. I'd like to be able to access Mardenz link but each time I try I get a message that says it's by "invitation" only. Do you know how to request an invitation? Kind regards, Liz Swenson jericoliz@aol.com
