The recycling of WB cartoons from their original movie theater audience to weekday afternoon TV in the 50's/60's gave me an oddly warped view into a wartime/postwar culture I never actually lived in. Some of those procenium-breaking scenes in which members of the audience appear as faux-silouettes at the bottom edge of the screen had a particularly surreal effect...later put to good use on Mystery Science Theater 3000. :-)

Also not to be overlooked is the great Carl Stalling's work in Looney Tunes.

I used to have Powerhouse play when my computer received a fax...
