I see in another thread the Warner Brothers were the most popular cartoons. They were among the most popular with me as well. They pretty much started in the 30s with Merrie Melodies and evolved into the most popular Bugs, Daffy, etc., thru the 40s and well beyond. Collectively, I think they were the best cartoon series/package concept ever created, and part of their success was not only the amazing writing and hilarity of the stories, and the wonderful art department drawing of the characters, but the magnificent vocalization of their voices all pretty much almost singularly by the talented Mel Blanc.
Some of the big names associated with these cartoons which many went on to spin off their own popular competing cartoons as well include:
David Depatie
Friz Freleng / I. Freleng
Tex Avery / Fred Avery
Bob Clampett
Robert McKimson
Bea Benaderet (also voice of Betty Rubble and on Beverly Hillbillies and Petticoat junction)
Mel Blanc
Dawes Butler (also did Flintstones characterizations)
June Foray (also the voice of Rocky The Flying Squirrel and Cindy Lou Who)
and Carl Stalling (did most of the musical scores)
Much of this stuff was actually big time animation made for theatrical release (they used to show cartoons before movies).
