Looney Tunes

Film-Originated Franchises

Looney Tunes is an American media franchise built on the series of animated theatrical short films produced by Warner Bros. Cartoons from 1930 to 1969, created by studio head Leon Schlesinger together with animators Hugh Harman and Rudolf Ising during the golden age of American animation. The shorts introduced characters such as Bugs Bunny who became lasting cultural icons, and the franchise has since expanded into television series, feature films, comic books, music albums, video games, and amusement park attractions, ranking among the highest grossing media properties of all time.
