Who HQ brings you the stories behind the most beloved characters of our time.

 

If you’re a fan of Acme anvils and know that the question “What’s up, Doc?” needs no answer, this history of the cartoon favorites Looney Tunes is for you!

 

In the 1930s, Warner Brothers studios introduced the world to the Looney Tunes. A witty rabbit named Bugs, a stuttering pig named Porky, and an erratic duck named Daffy are just some of the characters that have left audiences hysterically laughing for almost a century. These animated short films, starring some of the most iconic cartoon characters in history, went on to have a second, long life on television.

 

In this book, author Steve Korte details how these toons were imagined, which talented folks were tasked with animating and voicing them, the success the shows and films have garnered over the years, and what lies ahead for Bugs and the gang.

在1930年代，華納兄弟工作室向全世界介紹了《Looney Tunes》。 一隻名叫兔八哥的機智兔子，一隻名叫波奇的結巴豬和一隻名叫達菲的飄忽的鴨子，只是其中的一些人物，使觀眾歇斯底里地笑了近一個世紀。 這些動畫短片由歷史上一些最具標誌性的卡通人物主演，並在電視上長期播放。

 

在這本書中，作者史蒂夫·科特詳細介紹了如何創造這些角色，賦予這些動畫和聲音的天才，節目和電影上累積多年無數的成功，以及為兔八哥和朋友們的前途。
