Line 457:
* [[Limited Animation]]: Some of the best uses of this format in cartoon history.
** Just to clarify: Most cartoons in the '30s and '40s utilized full animation just like Disney and other contemporaries. However, Chuck Jones experimented with limited animation in "The Dover Boys", liberally using quick smears and held poses. But limited animation (that is, less actual character movement) was never widespread until the mid '50s, when budgets got slimmer. Nevertheless, the various units worked around the limitations quite well, even if the animation wasn't as full as the previous two decades.
* [[Limited Special Collectors' Ultimate Edition]]: From 2003 to 2008, Warner Bros. released the ''Looney Tunes Golden Collection'' series, spread across six volumes and covering over ''400'' classic cartoons, hours upon hours upon hours worth of commentaries, documentaries, interviews and historical bonus content in general. However, for the kiddies, a [[Vanilla Edition]] series of these DVDs were released called ''Looney Tunes Spotlight Collection'', which were essentially bare bone collections featuring the more well known, family friendly Looney Tunes shorts. The new single-disc Super Stars DVDs follow the [[Vanilla Edition]] practice, but Platinum Edition Vol. 1 is coming to Blu-ray in November and looks like a continuation of the Golden Collection-style releases.
* [[Literal Junk Food]]: Many a short begins with Sylvester looking through the trash as if it were a buffet, using a trashcan lid as a tray.
* [[Loads and Loads of Characters]]: [[Looney Tunes]] has many characters, apart from Bugs and the gang. Only a majority of them are [[One-Shot Character|one-shots]].
