I would have liked to see more of Cecil Turtle. It would be neat if Bob Clampett had a cartoon with him without Bugs.

I dunno what one-shot character (or character with less than 10 appearances to their name) should be shown more. I wanna say Charlie Dog, but he was shown a couple times.

How 'bout that owl in I Love To Singa in some sort of updated version of that cartoon?

I would have loved to see a bit more Charlie Dog cartoons as well as some more cartoons starring both the fish and the pelican of " The Tangled Anger "

I have long wished that Disney had developed Bucky Bug (AFAIK only a comicbook character) into a an animated film star. Maybe S. Jobs can take care of that soon----------

I like Witch Hazel in Boomstick Bunny. June Foray makes the character really fun. I know there's another Witch Haze chartoon but I don't recal seeing it.

I agree with Charlie Dog - and I like a lot of Chuck Jones' creations like Claude Cat, Hubbie & Bert the mice and Conrad Cat, and reaching way back I think Piggy was a cool character! - oh, yeah and the plow horse from "Porky's Prize Pony" and "The Draft Horse".

I have long wished that Disney had developed Bucky Bug (AFAIK only a comicbook character) into a an animated film star.His creator, Earl Duvall, did use him in one Disney cartoon—1932's Bugs in Love. If you've seen the first Bucky comic story in its 1996 reprint (WDC&S 604) you'll be familiar with the earliest, rather fat Bucky character design; that's how he and June look in the cartoon. Bugs in Love also features an evil crow character who appeared as Bucky's parents' hard-hearted landlord in the comics; on screen, he wants to eat the bugs.

Me personally, I would have loved to see more shorts, featuring "The Three Bears, as it was clearly Jones' best series at Warners.

I agree on the Three Bears. It was certainly better than "The Beary Family"!

Yes, I do remember Bugs in Love. Too bad that was Bucky's only screen appearance. The cartoony characterization of BB and his bug companions in the comics was really great -wish they could have been animated.

I also agree about the Three Bears, very funny stuff. And another Bear I liked was Bruno the Magnificent; I'd like to see him in a rematch with that "steenkink leetle rabbit! Ptui!"

I also would have loved to see more Hubie and Bertie VS Claude Cat shorts as well as more adventures of the Goofy Gophers ( as developed by Clampett/Davis in their first incarnations , a bit more wild than the latter Freleng incarnations )

I think Heathcliff and Louie from DOUGH-RAY-MEOW could have appeared in a few more shorts.
I also would have liked to have seen more of Beaky Buzzard.

Pretty much all the WB characters! But not in their post-63 guises. 1000+ cartoons is simply not enough!

I know he wasn't a one-trick pony, but I really liked Frisky Puppy. That little dog torumented poor Claude the Cat. I also liked the Goofy Gophers. I thought they were funny.

Wait, wasn't there more than two cartoons with her? :eek: I would like to see more of her too, as well as of Sniffles, Egghead and the little bat from "Sniffles and the Brave Little Bat". :D

Sniffles was just getting interesting when Jones dropped him. It would have been interesting to see his wiseacre personality extend into the 1950s.

You may be right, I really need to get that Warner Brothers cartoon reference book by Mr Beck.

Ralph Phillips, Chuck Jones' boy with a wild imagination. I think he was in only two cartoons. More would have been nice to see.

Doc and Champ.

I was just watching their last cartoon today-- Pretty good stuff. Too bad their careers ended with Jack Hannah's departure from Lantz in '62, while "Inspector Willoughby" managed to make it all the way to 1965 for some reason..

I don't know. Paul J. Smith may have screwed up with them...although Sid Marcus may have had a good use for them...

Somehow, I'm glad "Andy Panda" never came back...an "Andy Panda" cartoon directed by Paul J. Smith....brrr.....:eek:

Witch Hazel appears in the following three W-B cartoons: "Bewitched Bunny" (1954), "Broomstick Bunny" (1956), and "A Witch's Tangled Hare" (1959).
June Foray also voiced another character named Witch Hazel in Disney's
"Trick or Treat" (1952) and used virtually the same voice for Broom Hilda in
the 1978 TV series "The Fabulous Funnies" and all the miscellaneous witches
in Jay Ward's "Fractured Fairy Tales," of course. She was also the voice of
the Poor Old Witch in the 1987 cartoon "Scooby-Doo Meets the Boo Brothers."
I guess anytime a studio needed a voice for a witch, they called on June. Oh,
I just thought of another one: she replaced Ruth Buzzi as Granny Goodwitch
in the later Post cereal Sugar Bear commercials! :bugs2:

She also appeared in "A Haunting We Will Go", although most of the animations were reused (really obvious in the scene where Speedy, as Witch Hazel, says "Come on Come on! Drink it Drink it!")

I've never seen this one - is she drawn like the Witch Hazel over at WB?

No. She's the character who is in a Carl Barks comic (and some cartoons too).
