1964

False Hare, the final appearance of Bugs Bunny in WB's Golden Age.

The WB animation studio closes completely with Señorella and the Glass Huarache, their final completed short

The Porky Pig Show comes to television

1964 marks a major transition for the series. With DePatie-Freleng Enterprises receiving an outsourcing agreement with Warner Bros., the series would continue production at the aforementioned studio, with heavy limitations and smaller budgets. This would leave to this year releasing the final cartoons for many major characters, including Bugs Bunny.

History

• The last Bugs Bunny cartoon of the Golden Age, "False Hare", was released.
• Production of the cartoons are outsourced from Warner Bros. Cartoons to DePatie-Freleng Enterprises, starting with the cartoon "Pancho's Hideaway".
• Treg Brown retires.
• This is the last year where Blue Ribbon re-releases alter the opening and closing titles due to the closure of Warner Bros. Cartoons. The re-release program would continue until 1969, however, without alterations of any kind, hence those shorts exist with both their original titles and credits.
