Rina Chan Board's Blog: All About The Characters From Looney Tunes!

Hey Guys!, Rina-Chan Board Here! Today We Are Learning All About The Characters From Looney Tunes!, We Are Learning About Their Personalities, 1st Appearances, And What They Are Voiced By!

Let's Go!

Porky Pig:

"Th-th-th-Thats all folks!"

The Everyman and Straight Man to the rest of the cast, known for his ridiculously thick stutter. Often played a Deadpan Snarker or Butt-Monkey, usually when paired with Daffy (either role depending on the latter's interpretation).

Debut: I Haven't Got A Hat (1935), Friz Freleng

Voiced By: Joe Dougherty, Mel Blanc, Jeff Bergman, Noel Blanc, Rob Paulsen, Joe Alaskey, Greg Burson, Eric Goldberg, Billy West, Bob Bergen, Eric Bauza

Daffy Duck:

"You're despicable!"/"WOO HOO, HOO HOO!!!"

Was originally the Screwball/Cloudcuckoolander, later Flanderized by Chuck Jones (and Friz Freleng) into a jerkass Small Name, Big Ego, most famously paired with Bugs as the Odd Couple. In this incarnation, used either as a foil for Bugs or to parody action-adventure heroes. Meanwhile, Robert McKimson combined the two interpretations and made Daffy into a Loveable Rogue. Later also joined Sylvester on the hunt for Speedy Gonzales.

Debut: "Porky's Duck Hunt" (1937), Tex Avery

Voiced By:: Mel Blanc, Jeff Bergman, Joe Alaskey, Maurice LaMarche, Greg Burson, Frank Gorshin, Dee Bradley Baker, Samuel Vincent, Jeff Bennett, Eric Bauza

Elmer Fudd:

"Be vewwy, vewwy quiet! I'm hunting wabbits!"

One of only three humans in the regular cast (the others being Yosemite Sam & Tweety's owner Granny), An avid hunter, thus Jones' favorite adversary for both Bugs & Daffy, reaching a peak in the iconic Rabbit Season trilogy. Less popular with the other directors, who found him too wimpy. On a side note, he had an earlier, less distinctive prototype named Egghead, who was sometimes referred to as Elmer.

Debut: "Elmer's Candid Camera" (1940), Chuck Jones.

Voiced By: Danny Webb or Cliff Narazzo (Egghead era), Arthur Q. Bryan, Mel Blanc, Dave Barry, Hal Smith, Mark Kausler, Jeff Bergman, Greg Burson, Joe Alaskey, Tom Kenny, Frank Welker, Noel Blanc, Billy West, Eric Bauza

Bugs Bunny:

"Eehhh... What's up, Doc?"

The Wascally Wabbit himself.

Debut: "A Wild Hare" (1940), various, notably Tex Avery

Voiced By:: Mel Blanc, Jeff Bergman, Greg Burson, Billy West, Joe Alaskey, Eric Bauza

Tweety:

"I tawt I taw a puddy tat!"

Tweety was a pink, sadistic trickster who used his wits to lure cats away from him. Later on, under Freleng, Tweety became yellow, found a recurring adversary in Sylvester, and often depended on an umbrella-wielding Granny or an angry bulldog to drive him off. Time has made modern generations mistake him for a female. See also Sylvester the Cat and Tweety Bird.

Debut: "A Tale of Two Kitties" (1942), Bob Clampett.

Voiced By: Mel Blanc, Jeff Bergman, Greg Burson, Joe Alaskey, Eric Goldberg, Samuel Vincent, Billy West, Bob Bergen, Eric Bauza

Sylvester:

"Sufferin' succotash!"

A cat with a speech impediment who usually tries to eat Tweety or Speedy Gonzales, with little success. One of the most versatile of the ensemble, prone to neuroses and usually the star of the comic melodramas. Although Freleng's take on Sylvester is the one everybody remembers, other directors also made great use of the character. In Robert McKimson's hands, for example, slobby Sylvester has a hyper-articulate son named Sylvester Jr., whom Dad tries to impress by chasing what turns out to be a baby kangaroo into another room; when he retreats gibbering at the 'giant mouse!' Junior is mortified. Sylvester also starred in Kitty Kornered, one of Bob Clampett's last cartoons for Warners, and in three Chuck Jones-directed cartoons, all opposite Porky Pig. See also Sylvester the Cat and Tweety Bird.

Debut: "Life with Feathers" (1945), Friz Freleng

Voiced By: Mel Blanc, Joe Alaskey, Jeff Bergman, Bill Farmer, Terry Klassen, Jeff Bennett

Foghorn Leghorn:

"I say, what in the Sam Hill is goin' on here?"

A loud, obnoxious rooster with a Southern accent, based on Fred Allen's 'Senator Claghorn' radio character. Considers himself the life of the party; demonstrates this by tricking baby chickenhawks out of capturing him, abusing Mandrake the barnyard dog by hitting him with a wooden board, or babysitting a genius chick named Eggbert in order to cozy up to his widow hen mother.

Debut: "Walky Talky Hawky" (1946), Robert McKimson

Voiced By: Mel Blanc, Joe Alaskey, Jeff Bergman, Greg Burson, Bill Farmer, Frank Gorshin, Billy West, Jeff Bennett, Scott Innes, Eric Bauza

Wile E Coyote:

The coyote uses a variety of backfiring Acme Company traps and mail-order gadgets to try to catch the Road Runner - 'try' being the operative word. He was named when he had some cartoons facing off against Bugs instead of Roadrunner, where he became "Wile E. Coyote, Super Genius". See also Wile E Coyote And The Roadrunner.

Debut: "Fast and Furry-ous" (1949), Jones.

Voiced By:: Mel Blanc, Joe Alaskey, Maurice LaMarche, Dee Bradley Baker, Daran Norris, JP Karliak

Tasmanian Devil:

The destructive, hurricane-spinning, feral, Extreme Omnivore who talks in Hulk Speak, when he talks at all. He'll eat anything, buzzsaw through anything, and moves at whirlwind speed.

Debut: "Devil May Hare" (1954), McKimson.

Voiced By: Mel Blanc, Jeff Bergman, Noel Blanc, Maurice LaMarche, Jim Cummings, Greg Burson, Dee Bradley Baker, Frank Welker, Ian James Corlett, Brendan Fraser, Joe Alaskey, Fred Tatasciore
