A History of Looney Tunes

For decades, audiences around the world have watched a collection of characters survive explosions, outwit hunters, fall from cliffs, and repeatedly bend the laws of physics. What began as inexpensive theatrical shorts became one of animation's most influential forces, creating characters that are still recognized almost a century later. Along the way, a remarkable group of writers, directors, animators, musicians, and voice actors changed cartoons forever. Learn more about the history of Looney Tunes on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily. This episode is sponsored by HexClad. I've been using HexClad cookware for well over a year now and I use it every single day. I recently purchased a HexClad wok which is something I've been wanting.
