History[]

Buddy's final cartoons were released this year, his final short releasing as "Buddy the Gee Man".
The studio tries out many potential new characters in Friz Freleng's "I Haven't Got a Hat". These include Porky Pig, Beans, Oliver Owl, and Ham and Ex. While Beans was pushed by the studio, it was Porky who won the hearts of audiences.
Jack King replaces Ben Hardaway's role as the secondary director of the Looney Tunes cartoons at the time, directing the final Buddy cartoons and the first set of Beans cartoons.
Fred "Tex" Avery, an animator for Walter Lantz, is hired by Leon Schlesinger to be their new director and directs his first cartoon, "Gold Diggers of '49".
Disney's exclusive rights to three-strip Technicolor ends; Warner Brothers releases its first three-strip Technicolor short with the Merrie Melodies short "Flowers for Madame".
"The Country Mouse" was the earliest cartoon to get a Blue Ribbon reissue.
