	The Straight Dope: What's the difference between a Looney Tune and a Merrie Melody?
		My initial idea was to tell you that Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies reflected the dichotomy between the Apollonian and Dionysian impulses or, if you will, the classical and romantic modes of creative expression.
		While there were differences between Tunes and Melodies, the main reason for having two separate series was that's the way they'd structured the deal.
		Merrie Melodies also featured Warner songs, but where Tunes had regular characters, Melodies for the most part were one-shots, without continuing characters.

		Foxy is an animated cartoon character featured in the Merrie Melodies series of films distributed by Warner Bros. The character is a fl fox with teardrop-shaped ears and a bushy tail.
		Animator Rudolf Ising created Foxy as the star of the new Merrie Melodies series he was directing for producer Leon Schlesinger (Ising had already helped his partner Hugh Harman create another series, entitled Looney Tunes).
		Foxy was the most unabashedly unoriginal of the various Mickey Mouse duplicates so prevalent in the 1930s, a fact that didn't escape the notice of Walt Disney.

	Piggy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Piggy is an animated cartoon character in the Merrie Melodies series of films distributed by Warner Bros. The character is a fat, fl pig who wears a pair of shorts with buttons on the front.
		Due to its stereotypical portrayal of the Uncle Tom character, the cartoon is included among the so-called "Censored 11", Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies shorts that are withheld from circulation due to their heavy use of ethnic stereotypes.
		Unlike his fellow early Merrie Melodies alumni Foxy, Roxy and Goopy Geer, Piggy was conspicuously absent from the "Two-Tone Town" episode of the animated series Tiny Toon Adventures in 1992.

	Incessantly-Asked Questions

		Apart from that, the other main difference was that in 1934, they began to make the Merrie Melodies shorts in color, whereas the Looney Tunes series remained fl-and-white until 1943.
		By the way: A lot of folks don't know this but the concentric color rings, so familiar to viewers of WB cartoons, have a method to their madness.

		The Termite Terrace attitude, a contempt for management so great the cartoonists rigged a warning system so they could stop work whenever the bosses approached, characterized Warner cartoons long after the actual building was abandoned.
		Looney Tunes vs. Merrie Melodies: "Looney Tunes'' was a nod toward Disney's "Silly Symphonies.'' Most early Merrie Melodies, such as "Smile, Darn Ya, Smile'' (1931) and "Freddie the Freshman'' (1932), are named after the featured song because that was the cartoon's "raison d' etre.''
		Until 1942, Looney Tunes were fl-and-white with established characters and Merrie Melodies were in color, usually with one-shot characters.

		Warner was so pleased with the product that, in 1931, they commissioned a second monthly series, whose title came from the same fertile ground — Merrie Melodies.
		The relatively starless Merrie Melodies were the first Warner toons to switch to color, which they did in 1934.
		Since the characters, too, were likely to appear in either, there was little, besides their theme music, to distinguish the two series.

		My only complaint with the book is that where each song is listed in the back, the vocal is credited to the character rather than the performer.

	Field Guide To Titles And Credits
		Since 1936, when the concentric circles (called "rings" for convenience) opening was introduced on Merrie Melodies, the first color used was blue because of the advent of blue hues in the new 3-color Technicolor process opened up to Disney's competitors that year.
		I Wanna Play House was the first Merrie Melodies with rings, while a later film (not known due to Blue Ribbon reissue policy) introduced the zooming WB shield (a device borrowed from WB's live-action films) used on virtually every WB cartoon hence.
		Below appear all possible ring color combinations for Merrie Melodies and Looney Tunes (where applicable), starting with the first use of these titles in 1936.
