''What's Up, Doc?'' was re-released in 1951 (originally released in 1941), which marked the 10th Birthday of Bugs Bunny
In 1958 Warner Bros. releases Knighty Knight Buggs produced by Fritz Freleng, which wins the first ever Oscar for Best Animated Short Film.
Looney Tunes started to become more and more popular and ended up being a regular show on Television, the same happened with Tom & Jerry
As Television became more popular, advertisements and commercials appeared on T.V more and more, many of which used animation to show their service/product.
Tortoise Beats Hare was one of the first 'Merrie Melodies/Looney Tunes' which featured Bugs Bunny, it came out in 1941
Other popular animations include:
Speedy Gonzales

Racism was a huge issue with Looney Tunes in the 1950's as many of their animations/episodes had massive amounts of racism and/or offensive gestures.
