In most forms of media and entertainment, rivalries can start between companies who compete in the same field. There's one in the video game console industry with Microsoft and Sony, one in the superhero industry with Marvel and DC - there's even one in the cartoon industry with Disney and Warner Bros! The original inspiration for Looney Tunes was to compete with Disney's musical series Silly Symphonies in the 1930's. It came out with another series known as Merrie Melodies.
The Looney Tunes characters that most people are familiar with were created between the late 1930's and 1940's. This includes Bugs Bunny, Elmer Fudd, and Daffy Duck. The "Golden Age" for Looney Tunes brought the world the rest of the iconic Looney Tunes cast like Sylvester and Tweety, Wile E. Coyote and the Roadrunner, and Speedy Gonzales.
Since then, most people today have fond childhood memories of watching their favorite Looney Tunes characters on the TV, pulling hilarious hijinks. Who doesn't remember classic scenes like the "Rabbit Season" gag between Bugs and Daffy? Looney Tunes is one of longest airing animated television series to date. Plans of a new series of animated shorts featuring the Looney Tunes characters were announced for some time in 2019, meaning that even future generations will be able to enjoy Looney Tunes.
