Did they slip some footage from Metropolis in there? Those scenes from 2000 look mighty familiar.

Yes you are right about Porky. I should have remembered the speech impediments that so many of the Loony Tunes characters had, and he definitely had one! I think Warner Bros bought out LT at some point. Daffy was one of my favorite characters. I think one of the funniest scenes was when Daffy and Donald had an appearance together in the Who Shot Roger Rabbit movie. Daffy gets mad and says something like, "That's the lassssssst thime I work with a duck with a sthpeech impediment!"
Ah no. Warner Bros. was the studio that made the Loony Tunes cartoons. They had a building that was dubbed 'termite terrace' in which the cartoon studio was set. In one Bugs Bunny cartoon Elmer decides to quit and tears up his contract. Then Bugs sneaks into his dreams (while Elmer is napping) and causes havoc. When Elmer wakes up he rushes back to the studio and says "Ah Mr. Warner I'm back." Disney also had a short cartoon series. They were called Silly Symphonies.

Walt Disney explained once that they stopped making the shorts because they were making the feature long animated movies. They didn't have time to do both I gather.

Thanks to Bugs Bunny and the Lone Ranger, I developed a love for classical music

Just as well, because Warner Bros did a much better job of it.

I think that's how I got my introduction to Classical music too. lol. Of course the Lone Ranger existed long before TV. He started out on the radio.

Yes, candy buttons (basically colored sugar), but I like your answer, Bilbo!

My grandma always had these butter mints in a crystal candy dish whenever we'd visit her. They were nice and minty and melted in your mouth. I still get them every now and then.

A fav of mine in the 60s. No idea if they were popular after that. Tiny wax bottles filled with a flavored drink. Sometimes I'd pop the whole thing in my mouth, chew it till the drink was gone, then swallow the wax. Living on the fringe, even back then.

They were still around in the 70's. I remember them.
