It's incredible how such a simple concept of the 'animator' messing with Daffy turned out to be one of the most entertaining cartoons of all time

The lady in Tom and Jerry who is always partially seen is named 'Mammy Two Shoes'.
This scene from the short 'Saturday Evening Puss' is the only time her face is shown.

One of the enduring images of cinema is a starving skinny guy looking at a fat guy and the fat guy turns into a hamburger. And then the fat guy looks at the skinny guy and the skinny guy turns into a hot dog.

Fred and Wilma Flintstone were the first couple to be shown in bed together on prime-time television. The show aired on ABC between 1960-1966.
Community note
Fred and Wilma Flintstone were not the first couple to be shown in bed together on primetime TV in the 60s.
That would actually be the sitcom Mary Kay and Johnny that aired on primetime TV back in the '40s.

Also was shown again in I Love Lucy on primetime TV in 1955.

The Sneezing Weasel (1938)
The hilariously hysterical voice of laughing and sneezing Weasel is none other than director Tex Avery himself!

"The Golden Touch" (1935) was Walt Disney's first directorial effort after five years of producing, as Walt had grown frustrated with his team and wanted to personally show them how it was done.
But the result was… not it. The short flopped critically and creatively. Walt never directed another cartoon, and it remained a source of embarrassment to him for years to come.

“The Nutcracker” (1973), Boris Stepantsev’s surreal Soviet take on Hoffmann’s tale and Tchaikovsky’s ballet.
Dreamlike, eerie, and unlike any Nutcracker you’ve seen.

Clampett’s hilarious and dynamic take on the classic Dick Tracy style. 'The Great Piggy Bank Robbery (1946)' is a fast-paced, witty parody that captures the spirit of pulp crime with pure cartoon energy.

One of the best #bugsbunny and Yosemite Sam gags of all time!
Notice how for the most part only the head and hands of Bugs are animated while Sam is going all haywire.

One of Bugs Bunny's most memorable foes was the big, furry, red-orange monster named "Gossamer". Also, he wore sneakers.
One memorable gag used in two of his films involves Bugs Bunny impersonating a beautician to fool Gossamer. Monsters lead such interesting lives!
