About this episode

This episode explores the history and impact of Looney Tunes on animation and popular culture.

For decades, audiences around the world have watched a collection of characters survive explosions, outwit hunters, fall from cliffs, and repeatedly bend the laws of physics. What began as inexpensive theatrical shorts became one of animation's most influential forces, creating characters that are still recognized almost a century later. Along the way, a remarkable group of writers, directors, animators, musicians, and voice actors changed cartoons forever.
