Bob Clampett never left Warner Bros in 1946 and stood with the studio until it's end in 1964; What changes?
>>151003648More Clampett kino
>>151003648I could see there being real tension between him and Chuck Jones with Freleng being caught in the middle. Hopefully McKimson would still have had enough creative freedom to produce Foghorn Leghorn and the Tazmanian Devil.
>>151005297WB will be a 4 unit studio (Clampett, Jones, McKimson and Freleng) until the 1964 closer, also no temp shut down in 1953 as well.
>>151003648Clampett makes the Tweety/Sylvester series or shared it with Freleng, shares the new version of Daffy (which he helped develop with Draftee Daffy and Great Piggy Bank Robbery) with Jones, and as budgets go down and the public taste changes, creates Beany and Cecil for Warners.McKimson’s unit gets shut down in 1948 when they downsize (since the Davis unit never existed), and he goes back to animating for Clampett. Freleng, not having many characters of his own, inherits Foghorn Leghorn and that giant mouse.
>>151005397The downsizing never happed in this timeline, Sylvester and Tweety is Freleng but solo Tweety is still Clampett.
>>151005428I don’t think there could be a timeline where the downsizing didn’t happen, unless you rewrite the entire history of the American film industry so the demand for theatrical cartoons remains the same because there’s no downsizing in the industry as a whole, no antitrust order, etc.I’m not sure Bob could have single-handedly accomplished that by staying at Warner.
>>151005729The reason for the down scaling was because Art Davis's cartoons were hit and miss, while better then what came out of Famous (baring Popeye of course) and Terrytoons his cartoons were not as good as the other 3, with Clampett still at the studio WB stays a 4 unit studio until 1964 when the studio closed down.>Clampett moves to merchandising and home 8/16MM distribution management for WB (WB never sold off their pre-1950 film library to Sunset Guild Productions and AAP so he had a reason to stay).>McKimson still goes with Freleng to go to Depatie Freleng.>Jones still find Sib Tower 12 Productions, except MGM never buys them out so Jones still gets to do Road Runner and Coyote shorts between 1965 to 1967 (Format Films and Depatie Freleng never touch the Road Runner and Coyote).>Freleng still find Depatie Freleng with David Depatie to make Pink Panther cartoons for UA, WB contract work still remains.
>>151003648Nice art.

>>151007060I know.
>>151007060Prime John K drew it with the colors by Lynne Naylor.
>>151009306This.
>>151003648Kricfalusi theorized thar Clampett shorts would start to look more like Milt Gross' art as we got into the more stylizied 50s
>>151011102His Beany and Cecil work in the 50s (merch and comics) and 60s says otherwise, if anything Clampett would've got cuter in his later years and Jones would've been the dominate director in the 1950s, if anything Rod Scribner and Izzy Ellis would've stood with Clampett and that would bring things closer to Milt Gross' art and Rod would've had more freedom then he got from McKimson but everything everything would've got standardized with only enough personality to tell the directors apart.Also, since Clampett stood with the studio until 1964 in this timeline, that means Bill Melendez also stood with Clampett until 1964 as well, meaning unless Charles Schulz took Bill Melendez right away after Warner Bros shut down we could've had no animated Peanuts content in that timeline.
>>151011630Peanuts was getting too big to not get animated, Schulz eventually would have relented and we would have gotten lesser Peanuts material which would have an impact on its long-term popularity until Schulz got bored and pulled the plug
>>151003648Chuck Jones kills Bob in a "hunting accident"
>>151011722Chuck Jones isn't Dick Cheney, the 2 will still live a long and full life.>>151011699I that that as "WB does A Boy Named Charlie Brown under Clampett's unit with Bill Melendez being the special's director (Jones and Freleng already had some of their own directors direct some cartoons on their own) while Bill Melendez's own studio dose everything Peanuts related after that until 2006 with Bill Melendez's retirement".
>>151003648that elmer looks off, i don't remember him ever looking like that in any short
>>151014611John K drawing.
>>151003648How important was she though?
>>151009306Cool.
