Daffy Duck

Daffy Duck was created in the 1930s. He is zany and unpredictable and speaks with an obvious lisp. He has black fur and a white neck and was often paired with Porky Pig in the Looney Tunes cartoons.

Daffy was determined to become a star at all costs and was insanely jealous of the success of Bugs Bunny. He tried to steal the spotlight but it never worked due to Bugs' indifference to Daffy.

Daffy's character changed over the years and in the cartoons of the 1950s he was vain and excitable, which led to his beak being shot off by hunter Elmer Fudd on several occasions. As a self-centred and selfish duck, he was at his most popular.

Daffy had his own series of comic books from the 1950s until the 1980s and he appeared in the films Who Framed Roger Rabbit? in 1988 and Looney Tunes: Back in Action in 2003. He also played the lead in Bah Humduck! A Looney Tunes Christmas in 2006.

Daffy has featured in several web cartoons and made cameo appearances in the TV shows Animaniacs, Histeria! and Loonatics Unleashed. In the Tiny Toon Adventures he is a teacher at Acme Looniversity where he mentors Plucky Duck.

Tweety Pie

Tweety Pie is my favourite Looney Tunes character. He is a cute yellow bird who is always being stalked by Sylvester, a cat who is desperate to eat him.

Tweety and Sylvester were first paired up in 1947, and the first short with both of them in it won Warner Bros its first Academy Award for Best Short Subject (Cartoons).

Tweety is a good-natured and happy little bird, until he is faced with danger, and then he can become downright nasty! He can't speak properly due to having no lips and teeth, and his catchphrase is 'I tot I taw a puddy tat. I did, I did tee a puddy tat!'

Tweety is often accompanied by Granny and her bulldog Hector, who protect him from Sylvester and other adversaries.

During the 1990s Tweety starred in the Sylvester and Tweety Mysteries, where Granny ran a detective agency with the help of Tweety, Sylvester and Hector. He was in the film Who Framed Roger Rabbit? and in 2003 a younger version of him appeared in Baby Looney Tunes. He was also in Tiny Toon Adventures as a mentor to the character Sweetie Pie.

Bugs Bunny

Bugs Bunny is arguably one of the most popular cartoon characters around. He first appeared on TV in 1940 alongside Elmer Fudd, and is infamous for his catchphrase "Eh...what's up doc?" which he usually says while chewing happily away on a carrot.

Bugs is a smarty pants and highly self-confident. He wins every battle he fights no matter who it is with or what the situation is due to his quick wit and and brash resourcefulness.

Bugs' biggest rival was Elmer Fudd, a pigeon-brained hunter who seemed to be a bit gay. Elmer never managed to outwit Bugs due to his lack of common sense and constantly managed to injure himself and antagonise other characters who cropped up in the show.

Bugs made guest appearances in the 1990s TV show Tiny Toon Adventures, where he was the principal of Acme Looniversity, and he had cameos in Tazmania, Animaniacs and Historia. He also appeared in the films Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, Space Jam and the 2003 film Looney Tunes: Back in Action.

In 2002, Bugs was named as the greatest cartoon character of all time in TV Guide magazine and he has become the current official mascot for Six Flags theme parks. Go Bugs!
