Noteworthy Looney Tunes Staff

We all love the Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies cartoon series, but it didn't get made overnight or from one mind--rather, it was the result of the collaberation of hundreds of staffers, directors, animators, inkers and others from the golden age and dark age of animation. While it might it be impossible to list every single person, this list will attempt to cover as many people as possible.

Noteworthy Staffers Include:

 * Leon Schlesinger
 * Hugh Harman And Rudolph Ising
 * Friz Freleng
 * Earl Duvall
 * Ben Hardaway: Director and writer. Bugs Bunny is named after his nickname "Bug" Hardaway. Also helped create Woody Woodpecker.
 * Mel Blanc

 * Shamus Culhane: Had a very brief stay at the studio, working for Chuck Jones on Inki and the Mynah Bird and Bugs Bunny and the Three Bears.
 * Chuck Jones
 * Tex Avery
 * Bob Clampett
 * Art Davis
 * Bob McKimson
 * Frank Tashlin
 * Tedd Pierce: Writer
 * Mike Maltese: Writer, mainly for Chuck Jones.
 * Warren Foster: Writer.
 * Bob Givens: Helped design Bugs Bunny, and did layouts for every director bar Freleng. One of the few that stayed right until the studio closed in 1969.
 * Martha Sigall
 * Virgil Ross: Animator for the Friz Freleng unit.
 * Ken Harris: Animator for the Chuck Jones unit. Also worked for Richard Williams on The Thief and The Cobbler.
 * Maurice Noble: Layout man for Chuck Jones. His stylish designs are featured on such classics as Duck Dodgers in The Twenty Fourth And A Half Century, What's Opera Doc, and the Wile E Coyote and The Road Runner series.
 * Hawley Pratt: Friz Freleng's layout man and chief character designer for almost two decades. In this role he designed Sylvester and Yosemite Sam, and created the definite versions of Tweety and Speedy Gonzales. He later became a director in his own right at the very end of the studio's life.
 * Robert Gribbroek: Did Chuck Jones's layouts for quite a while before Maurice Noble showed up, and later did the same job for Robert McKimson. Although most agree that his work in Jones's unit was sorely lacking compared to what Noble later did, his work for McKimson tends to be much better-regarded.
 * Carl W. Stalling: Music director. Trope Codifier for Mickey Mousing (he started out at Disney composing the score for Steamboat Willie, making him the Trope Maker as well).
 * Tregoweth "Treg" Brown: Sound effects man. Sometimes credited as film editor for some reason.
