Merrie Melodies

Merrie Melodies are a set of cartoons from the 1930s to 1960s Warner Bros. Studios. In the early years, between 1934 and 1943 were the black and white Looney Tunes -cartoons with a recurring cast, while the second series Merrie Melodies cartoons glorifying a series of colors was guest with tekenfilmfiguren. After 1943, there was no difference in terms of content gradually between Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies. The only difference was in the start leader of both series. Popularly is the most talked about Looney Tunes as we talk about the collection of cartoon characters from the sleeve of producer Leon Schlesinger and Warner Bros. Studios, the name Merrie Melodies is rarely used in this context. Sometimes is also called the name incorrectly used Looney Toons .

The name Merrie Melodies was (as well as the name Looney Tunes) a derivative of the name Silly Symphonies, a cartoon series that Walt Disney made around that time. ==First Merrie Melodies[ Edit] == The first Merrie Melodies was born in 1931; in 1934 followed the first cartoon in color. Directors of the first hour were Rudolph Ising and Hugh Harman who later also for many MGM cartoons would make. ==Early leader Merrie Melodies[ Edit] == Merrily We Roll Along by Charles Tobias, Murray Mencher and Eddie Cantor. ==Blue Ribbon Merrie Melodies[ Edit] == From 1940 Warner Bros. started a series of cartoons under the name Blue Ribbon Merrie Melodies in which cartoons from earlier years were shown again. This series was accompanied by a Merrie Melodies-leader with a blue band. In this leader was shown only the emerging Warner Bros. logo and the title of the film. Attached with the original cartoon i.v.g. credits were omitted.Sometimes titles were also changed in this reworking. So was the Bugs Bunny-cartoon A Wild Hare, directed by Tex Avery in the Blue Ribbon-series changed to The Wild Hare.
