Acrobatty Bunny premiered on 29 June 1946.
Written by Warren Foster, the animated short was Robert McKimson's first short starring Bugs Bunny (and his 3rd for Warner Bros. overall). It is considered to be "one of the funniest" Bugs Bunny cartoons ever made.
Happy Birthday to that Oscar winning mouse, Speedy Gonzales! Speedy debuted in “Cat-Tails for Two” directed by Robert McKimson, released on August 29th, 1953. A couple years later, the 1955 cartoon “Speedy Gonzales,” directed by Friz Freleng, won best animated short.

I'll tell you what happened there. Warren Foster, my story man at the time, had a rooster story—an idea for one—and we started kicking it around, and all of sudden, I told him, "I was listening to the radio the other night, and there was this Senator Claghorn," and I said, "He took his type of delivery, and so forth, from the old sheriff in the old Blue Monday Jamboree." This business of saying, "I say there, son" [imitating the voice) was because the old sheriff was deaf, and he didn't think people could hear. He was deaf himself, and he thought he wasn't coming over. I told Warren about it, and he was nuts about the idea. We sort of merged the two ideas of the old sheriff and Senator Claghorn, and put them on to Foghorn Leghorn.

The first 12 images are from Hake’s Auctions item 2117, “Foghorn Leghorn” was found on Pinterest (linking to a removed eBay page), and “Bugs Bunny the Railroad Engineer” was found on the Looney Tunes wiki.

"Daffy Doodles" first appeared in US movie theaters on 6 April 1946.
Written by Warren Foster and directed by Robert McKimson (in his theatrical debut), the 7 minute cartoon stars Daffy Duck obsessed with drawing mustaches on every face he sees and Porky Pig as the cop in pursuit in one of the "greatest cartoons ever."
