Looney Tunes Closing Theme 'LINK'
LINK ===> https://fancli.com/2tpxmx
Starting with the Looney Tunes cartoon short Rover's Rival released October 9, 1937, an adapted instrumental version of the song's main tune became the staple opening and closing credits theme for the Looney Tunes series, most memorably featuring Porky Pig stuttering \"Th-th-th-that's all, folks!\" over the tune at each cartoon's end.[1]
However, starting with \"She Was an Acrobat's Daughter\", the tempo slowed down and the variant was the same. In \"Egghead Rides Again\", a twanging noise played when the shield zoomed in on screen. In addition, beginning with \"Plenty of Money and You\", the closing theme would also be \"Merrily We Roll Along\", with a different variant used for the two following cartoons, \"Speaking of the Weather\" and \"Dog Daze\", until \"I Wanna Be a Sailor\" used a \"finalized\" version of both the opening and ending themes for the time. The last cartoon to use these rings is \"The Lyin' Mouse\".
Used from late 1937-1938. The production code moves to the first opening title, the Merrie Melodies font changes from being puffy to thin and more curved, and the opening theme now had a largely dominant woodwind arrangement for the opening and closing. Starting with \"Jungle Jitters\", the opening theme was sparsely modified. In \"The Major Lied 'Til Dawn\", it was changed again, this time with a concert band full of brass instruments. Almost every short closed with the 1937-38 closing theme, with the only exception being \"The Major Lied 'Til Dawn\". \"Cracked Ice\" uses a special variant of the opening rendition.
Used from late 1939 to early 1940. The opening and closing theme is exactly the same. Also, the cloud background resembles the cloud background from the modern-day Warner Bros. Pictures logo, and the WB shield is slightly translucent. As for the closing screen, the exclamation mark in the \"That's all Folks!\" text is on the inside of the quotation marks as opposed to the outside, meaning that this text has almost reached its finalized version. The first cartoon to use these rings is \"Land of the Midnight Fun\". The last cartoons to use these rings are \"Cross Country Detours\" and \"Tom Thumb in Trouble\".
Used from 1940-1941. \"Malibu Beach Party\" is the only cartoon where the music is exactly the same as before. After that, it was changed to a sparsely modified version which sounds like a mix of the 1938-1939 and 1939-1940 themes. \"Good Night Elmer\" is the only exception, which has a more brassier version of the aforementioned theme. The closing theme is the same until April 1941's \"Toy Trouble\", when the opening and closing themes were heavily modified and more brassy (the same arrangement of the theme that would later be used for the Blue Ribbon Merrie Melodies reissues and the Associated Artists Productions opening screen). The Merrie Melodies font was changed again. In \"The Heckling Hare\", Bugs Bunny appears on top of the shield, munching on a carrot, then pulls down the Merrie Melodies title card like a shade. This intro resembles the original 1937-1938 Merrie Melodies intro. The last cartoon to use these rings is \"Sport Chumpions\".
Used from 1946-1947. Looney Tunes added the \"That's all Folks!\" text at the end, similar to how Merrie Melodies did it and how Looney Tunes did it from 1936 to 1937. By this year, the drum ending was eliminated. Only two LT cartoons, \"Kitty Kornered\" and \"Acrobatty Bunny\", used the 1945-1946 opening theme, but not the 1941-1946 closing theme. \"Kitty Kornered\" used the 1941-1955 MM closing theme for some reason, while \"Acrobatty Bunny\" used a redone instrumental rendition of the 1941-1946 LT closing theme. Starting with July 1946's \"The Great Piggy Bank Robbery\", the opening and closing themes were modified, this time being much louder with the closing theme finally filling in that gap in the second half. For some reason, in that cartoon, along with \"Kitty Kornered\", the WB Shield does not zoom in. Everything else, especially those for MM, remains the same. When the 1947-48 rings were introduced, these rings would be used at the end of Merrie Melodies. The final new cartoon to use these rings was \"Slick Hare\". The ending rings however, would be used in Blue Ribbon reissues with the opening rings from the 1947-1948 season. The final cartoon to use these rings was the 1949 reissue of Horton Hatches the Egg.
The first cartoon to use these rings was \"By Word of Mouse\". As the last cartoons using the older Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies themes, from 1946-55 and 1945-55 respectively, were released, a newly-orchestrated theme music, with more violins and woodwind instruments, was composed by Milt Franklyn for use in later cartoons starting with \"Sahara Hare\" and \"Hare Brush\" respectively, though in \"This Is a Life\", a different, more brassier arrangement, also composed by Milt Franklyn, is used instead, even though the original closing theme from \"Hare Brush\" was used at the end. Throughout 1956, the ending rings from this season would often be used in combination with the following green rings. The last cartoon to use both rings in the opening and ending is \"Lumber Jerks\". \"This Is a Life\" used these opening rings, but ended with the green rings. The ending rings would often be switched with the green rings on endings until \"Raw! Raw! Rooster!\"
Legacy: This is a very famous and well-liked logo, with all the familiar elements in by its second year of use (the concentric circles background, the zooming WB shield, the use of \"Merrily We Roll Along\" and \"The Merry-Go-Round Broke Down\" as the theme music, Porky's \"That's all, folks!\" closing, and the \"That's all, Folks!\" closing text). It is also beloved among those who grew up watching the Looney Tunes shorts in theaters or on television over the years.
Availability: Rare, as Bosko shorts are pretty much no longer seen on TV due to their \"ethnic offensiveness\". A handful of cartoons featuring this logo are available on the Looney Tunes Golden Collection: Volume 6 DVD release. Many of them are now in the public domain, and several of them are on various online video websites. Some Bosko cartoons, however, replace this logo with the Sunset Productions copyright card and the 3rd Series Logo (see below), and often have a Guild Films \"THE END\" logo plastered over the closing card (with Bosko's \"That's all, Folks!\" and the dog barking heard underneath), but a few of them have the logo replaced with an early-1960s Seven Arts Associated title card (with pictures of various LT characters surrounding it and the 1936-1937 LT closing theme playing underneath). The original opening credits for Sinkin' in the Bathtub are available on Disc 3 of the Looney Tunes Platinum Collection: Volume 2.
Music/Sounds: The distinctive Looney Tunes theme, The Merry-Go-Round Broke Down, is introduced, composed by Cliff Friend and Dave Franklin, and arranged by Carl Stalling. An abridged version at a different key is also used for the closing theme.
Editor's Note: Low, as the design is less \"in-your-face\", although on the closing titles, the redrawn colorized closings could startle a few people due to Porky's \"That's All Folks\" line accompanying the bouncing \"OO\"s in \"CARTOON\". Minimal for the Norman Normal variant, the song being used may surprise people expecting the standard theme music.
WileE2005Daffy Duck and Porky Pig Meet the Groovie Goolies (theatrical version, 1972): Identical to the 1964-1967 \"Abstract WB\" logo and the 1967 version of the W-7 variant, except the Abstract WB (or W-7 shield) is now replaced with a purple \\\\' symbol which appears piece-by-piece as the purple lines disappear one-by-one ala the 1963-1967 WB cartoon intro. The Looney Tunes title card is the same as the 1963-1967 version, complete with the bannerless WB shield on the right. The music is the 1967 opening theme variant that generally accompanied the \"Abstract W-7\" opening sequence. The closing now has the purple \\\\' appearing piece-by-piece, and the byline reads \"A WARNER BROS. CARTOON\" with the bouncing \"OO\" animation, and \"A WARNER COMMUNICATIONS RELEASE\" underneath in the Handel Gothic typeface.
What's New, Scooby-Doo (2003): The episodes \"Whether or Not the Weather Demon's Caught\" and \"The Great Ghost Train Robbery\" both do not end with the regular 2003-2007 Warner Bros. Animation logo; instead they end with the 1967-1969 Warner Bros.-Seven Arts Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies closing bumper, complete with the 1963-1969 WB cartoon closing theme music playing underneath. After the \"OO\" animation and the \"A VITAGRAPH RELEASE\" line comes up, a www.warnerbros.com byline fades up on the bottom underneath the logo.
With this tutorial, you can learn how to play both the opening theme song and the closing theme from the animated comedy series \"Looney Tunes\"! Featuring Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck,the Road Runner, Tweety, and many other famous cartoon characters, it's a timeless classic from the golden age of American animation!
The Day is Saved is the closing title card on every Powerpuff Girls episode. Though it usually shows the girls' standard pose, it has occasional variants, similar to the couch gag opening of The Simpsons, the \"That's all folks!\" closing sequence from the Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies cartoons, the variable lines to the theme song of Animaniacs and the Vicky's head gag of The Fairly OddParents. 1e1e36bf2d
