My favorite animated character is Wiley E Coyote........Why? He never gives up.

He beats Bugs, Daffy, Mickey Mouse, Foghorn Leghorn, Tweety & Sylvester and all the also rans: Popeye, Mighty Mouse. .......
created by Chuck Jones and directed by him.
.......... I met him once and got an autograph. Nice person. bought a print from him.

I even went to the area in California or Arizona where Wiley chases the Road Runner. Lots of rocks and desert.

Yes, I like cartoons...especially Warner Bros. When I was a kid, we had a theater chain owned by
Warner Bros. On special days....my local theater had cartoon shows. 25 cartoons on a big screen for 25 cents.

And Yes those were the days...............

Whose your favorite animated character?...and Why?

My favorite animated movie is ....The Iron Giant.

but thankfully the film seems to have been rescued:

It’s been a quick turnaround from Thursday when it was first reported that Warner Bros. was using the live-action/animation hybrid starring John Cena and Lana Condor as an estimated $30 million tax write-off instead of moving ahead with a theatrical and/or streaming release.

After filmmakers and crew expressed their shock and disappointment about the decision, and argued that the film was fantastic, plus mounting criticism from veteran filmmakers over Warner Bros.’ pattern of axing projects for the sake of tax benefits, Warner Bros. said on Sunday that it was willing to allow the film to be shopped to other distributors, Puck first reported. (Rolling Stone understands there are several interested buyers, including Amazon Prime.)

The loud public outcry and desire for the film’s release were the key factors in the studio changing its mind, a well-placed source says.
