1934 continued the evolution of the Looney Tunes line; as the Looney Tunes shorts continued the Buddy series; while Merrie Melodies began experimenting with color shorts, starting with two shorts in Cinecolor before ending the year with their first two-strip Technicolor short.
History[]
- The Merrie Melodies start using the color process. Two cartoons, "Honeymoon Hotel" and "Beauty and the Beast", were first produced in Cinecolor. These two Cinecolor cartoons were part of the Associated Artists Productions package.
- The final black-and-white Merrie Melodies cartoons were released, concluded with "Rhythm in the Bow". The TV distribution rights to these would eventually be sold to Sunset Productions/Guild Films.
- Starting with "Those Beautiful Dames", the Merrie Melodies returned to color, but in a two-strip Technicolor process.
- Earl Duvall is fired for a drunken argument with Leon Schlesinger and is replaced by Jack King, who was animating under Duvall's unit at the time.
- Ben Hardaway directs his first set of cartoons with the studio.
