Top 25 Warner Bros. cartoons

Jerry Beck of Cartoon Brew is writing a book about the top 100 Warner Bros. cartoons of all time. He invited all Brewers to post their own lists of favorites in an effort to create a master list for his book. This is not an easy thing - there are hundreds of shorts to choose from! Here is my list. I only did 25, and I am probably leaving some out. (I am kicking myself because I forgot Witch Hazel... and I couldn't think of a favorite Sylvester and Tweety short. Oh well.)


Long-Haired Hare
Bully for Bugs
Rabbit of Seville
What’s Opera, Doc?
One Froggy Evening
Duck! Rabbit! Duck!
Buccaneer Bunny
Fast and Furry-ous
Super Rabbit
Easter Yeggs
Duck Dodgers in the 24th-1/2 Century
Duck Amuck
Zoom and Bored
Steal Wool
Bugs Bunny Rides Again
Mouse Wreckers
Terrier Stricken
For Scent-imental Reasons
Herr meets Hare
Bugs Bunny gets the Boid
Robin Hood Daffy
Walky Talky Hawky
From A to Zzzz
The Dover Boys
The early BB/Clampett cartoon where Bugs dresses as a mermaid (title?)

For my favorite, I listed Long-Haired Hare, one of Chuck Jones' many friendly jabs at opera. Just listening to this cartoon with sound only is funny. Bugs' impression of Leopold Stokowski is brilliantly funny, even if you don't have a clue who he's parodying.
