Looney Tunes analysis

Hey, here's some Looney Tunes analysis I found that you can either agree or disagree with.

I liked the Pepe one, too (though it does sound like something I'd write in some places, particularly the "Wild Over You" section since this was the first LT cartoon I saw when I was a teenager and I immediately noticed something a little...off...about it). The Elmer one was interesting also.

Indeed, that Pepe le Pew analysis is really good, especially what it says about the mutilation Pepe almost went through in "Dancing Pepe" before production ceased on the Doyle shorts. Seems we may have another case of Speedy Gonzales on our hands.

I was reading the Bugs one and I came across "Hare Ribbin". As mentioned, 95% of the cartoon takes place underwater, for no apparent reason. I remember reading somewhere (It was a few years ago) that at the time the story was ready for this cartoon, someone at the studio 'invented' the "moving etched glass" effect to make underwater scenes look realistic. The story was altered to make it underwater in order to show off the new special effect. I guess they wanted to get it onscreen in a hurry - they couldn't even wait to write a story for it!

I thought that technique was invented at the Disney studio and first used in Pinocchio.

Actually, Chuck Jones (or at least someone on his staff) came up with two other ingenius ways to indicate under-water.
In From A to Z-Z-Z-Z, the water is shown with just three white wavy lines slowly moving across the screen.
And, in the :lepew: cartoon Touche and Go, water is made up of several layers of dark translucent gels with holes cut out of them and then moved around to simulate underwater currents. However, this time their movement coincides with the action of the characters rather than just at random.
