Looney Tunes Lies

 Some Looney Tunes Lies That I Found On TV Tropes!


  • A Looney Tunes mistake in the book comes in the entry on Daffy Duck: The Nuttiness Continues, which states that in Duck Amuck, Daffy "gets his just desserts from an animated witch", which does not happen at all in the short. The short finds Daffy getting his just desserts from the unseen animator, who turns out to be Bugs Bunny, and there are no witches in the short. It's possible the authors were thinking of "A Haunting We Will Go" with Witch Hazel, which reuses animation and gags from Duck Amuck, though that cartoon is not included in the video.
  • And the book's entry on the Chuck Jones volume of The Golden Age of Looney Tunes mentions that the video includes Porky & Daffy (which was directed by Bob Clampett, not Chuck Jones) when it actually means My Favorite Duck.
  • This article documenting the character changes done in Looney Tunes Cartoons gets its facts right (even some obscure ones like Elmer Fudd’s reddish nose from A Wild Hare and Bugs’s yellow gloves from Elmer’s Pet Rabbit) for the most part, but there are two errors:
    • The article claims that Bugs Bunny debuted in A Super Hare (his actual debut was A Wild Hare). Perhaps they confused it with 1943’s Super Rabbit?
    • The article also claims that Sylvester’s changes are brand new; while the yellow eyes are new, his redesign isn’t; it’s based on the design Robert McKimson used for him in his earlier shorts.
