Merrie Melodies is a series of theatrical cartoon short films produced by Warner Bros. between 1931 and 1969, during the Golden age of American animation. As with its parent series, Looney Tunes, Merrie Melodies featured some of the most famous cartoon characters ever, including Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig and Tweety Bird. Merrie Melodies was originally produced by Harman-Ising Pictures from 1931 to 1933, and then Leon Schlesinger Productions from 1933 to 1944. Schlesinger sold his studio to Warner Bros. in 1944, and the newly renamed Warner Bros. Cartoons continued production until 1963. Merrie Melodies was outsourced to DePatie-Freleng Enterprises from 1964 to 1967, and Warner Bros. Cartoons re-assumed production for the series' final two years. Three of the Merrie Melodies shorts won the Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film and another three have been inducted into the National Film Registry of the Library of Congress. LESS
