Warner Bros. Animation: Difference between revisions

** A German version was used in ''Bunny und seine Kumpane'', the show's first German dub. Here, Bugs (voiced by Jürgen Scheller) says "Und nun ist es soweit, ihr könnt euch wieder totlachen über Bunny und seine Kumpane!".<ref>http://looneytunesingermany.blogspot.com/2010/02/64-super-snooper.html</ref>

** A Japanese version was used in the show's Japanese dub, ''バックス・バニー劇場'' (''Bugs Bunny Theater''), in which Bugs (voiced by Michino Yokoyama) says his line in Japanese. Aside from the opening notes, the music is otherwise absent.<ref>https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/バッグス・バニー・ショー</ref>

** A German version was used on the German dub of this series, ''Schweinchen Dick''. There, Porky (voiced by Walter Gross) says his closing line in German. The door closes, but shortly after Porky is shown saying "Und immer schön fröhlich bleiben!"

* ''The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Hour'' has the shield on a {{color|red}} background. The color of the shield is {{color|#FFD900|yellow}}, and the company name is absent. Suddenly, Bugs Bunny (once again voiced by Mel Blanc) pops out of the shield, and says the following: "This has been a Warner Bros. Seven Arts-". Road Runner then appears on screen and says: "Beep, beep!". Bugs then continues: "Like the bird says, this has been a Warner Bros.-Seven Arts television presentation". The shield then closes.

* The 1971-1973 run of ''The Bugs Bunny Show'' on CBS (which was produced in 1969) uses the first few seconds of ''The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Hour'' variant without the Road Runner, before cutting to the previous logo's animation. Once Bugs finishes his line (with "Seven Arts television presentation" from the aforementioned variant edited over "television production"), the aforementioned beginning is shown again, in reverse. This version is cut from the 1973-1975 ABC broadcasts, though the Warner Bros.-Seven Arts logo was retained in the credits.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1KpIjGLOKag</ref>

** The show's French dub, ''Le Bugs Bunny Show'', uses this variant with Bugs saying his line in French. Despite this dub being produced in the 1980s,<ref>https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le_Bugs_Bunny_Show</ref> the Warner Bros.-Seven Arts logo is retained in the opening and closing. The closing logo is chyroned over the curtain shot from the opening, with a copyright symbol fading in to the left of the logo.

** ''Mein Name ist Hase'' (the second German version of ''The Bugs Bunny Show'') replaces the "W7" mark with "BB" (Bugs Bunny's initials) in a fancy font, and the music is replaced by a different fanfare conducted by Erik Frantzen. The name "Mein Name ist Hase" in a curved cartoon typeface appears below the shield, zooming away when Bugs appears. Bugs (voiced by Gerd Vespermann) says "Jubel, Trubel, Heiterkeit, seid zur Heiterkeit bereit. Mein Name ist Hase, ich weiß Bescheid! Wer eine schöne Stunde verschenkt, weil er an Ärger von gestern denkt oder an Sorgen von morgen, der tut mir leid. Mein Name ist Hase, ich weiß Bescheid". The animation of Bugs speaking is looped twice, with a third instance of Bugs chewing his carrot, before the shield closes, cross-fading to the curtain background.

** Polish broadcasts use a voiceover.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IIQXfFxMdT0</ref><ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAqCkO7kcLA</ref>

'''Visuals:''' Same as before, The ''LT'' characters stand beside the 1972 WBTV logo (the Big "W" logo) or the Warner Bros. shield with the company name on top (in the Warner Communications custom typeface) and the byline "A WARNER COMMUNICATIONS COMPANY" below.

* On the 1979 ''Bugs Bunny Valentine Special'' and the 1981 special ''Bugs Bunny: All-American Hero'', the font in the logo is seen in a black color.

* By no later than 1990, the top byline was changed to "WARNER BROS. ANIMATION INC."

'''Closing Visuals:''' On the concentric circles "That's all Folks!" writes itself on the screen. From 1991 to 1997, either "A WARNER BROS. CARTOON" or the copyright stamp and the IATSE logo appears below.

*On ''The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Movie,'' a custom opening was used. Here, the closing logo plays shortly after the [[Warner Bros. Pictures]] logo, but Bugs Bunny pops in from the left side of the screen and looks at the viewer, unimpressed as he twitches his nose twice. He then goes back offscreen and pushes the concentric circles off screen revealing a blue backstage behind them. He examines the script as he twitches his nose twice again before splitting "That's" and "all Folks!" and using his ears to insert "{{color|red|<u>'''NOT'''</u>}}" in between them (the phrase now reads "That's <u>NOT</u> all Folks!"). Bugs Bunny then raises his eyebrows twice before exiting left. The concentric circles come back the studio logo plays as normal. Afterwards, Bugs Bunny pulls up the concentric rings while resting on the phrase "Bugs Bunny" as he bites on his carrot as usual.

*On ''Invasion of the Bunny Snatchers'' and (''Blooper) Bunny'', Bugs Bunny would sit on the print WB shield (in red and white) and much some carrots. Then he would pull the ''Looney Tunes'' title down like a window-shade (a la the 1942-1948 opening). Plus, the circles are {{color|orange}} and the background is black.

* The 1979 version was seen on many shorts of the time including ''The Fright Before Christmas'', ''Bugs Bunny's Christmas Carol'', and ''Freeze Frame''. Also seen on ''The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Movie''.

* The 1987 version was seen only on ''The Duxorcist'' and ''The Night of the Living Duck''.

* The 1990-2000 versions were seen on ''Looney Tunes'' from the era, notably ''Carrotblanca'', ''Invasion of the Bunny Snatchers'', ''(Blooper) Bunny'' and ''Little Go Beep'', among others.

'''Visuals:''' There were two main variants of the logo:

*'''2003-2009:''' The banner was changed to read "{{Font|Times New Roman|'''WARNER BROS. ANIMATION'''}}" across with the "www.warnerbros.com" URL underneath. This was most likely due to the closure of Warner Bros.' [[Warner Bros. Feature Animation|Feature Animation]] division in 2004, and the former television/direct-to-video unit became Warner Bros.' main animation department, akin to the Termite Terrace/Warner Bros. Cartoons days.
