This book is a great resource for learning how to construct not only the Looney Tunes characters but also characters in general, just from simple shapes like circles.
To it's credit the book covers a lot of characters, but skims over everything but the top 3 or 4, even the coyote and roadrunner get a one page model sheet each. The model sheets are great as they show what makes the character unique, but they fail to show the steps in constructing the characters (it'll have a base shape and then the character beside it).
Even though the books skims on these things it's still definitely worth getting, I continually go back and re-read and construct characters from it.

Who better to write a book about Looney Tunes animation than the man responsible for bringing them back to the forefront (though some may debate Space Jam as being one of their less-than-stellar big screen moments...), Tony Cervone? In this book (an oversized, almost poster-book paperback), Tony & friends go through the fundimentals of animating the Looney way - with an emphasis on FUN. The commentary throughout is thoroughly entertaining, and the dredging up of model sheets and production drawings is fascinating!
Almost every "classic" Looney Tune is featured within the book, with tips on personality, various physical traits, and usually an official WB model sheet or two to compliment what's been written. Of course, an emphasis has been placed on Daffy, Bugs & Sylvester, however there are wonderful tips that are able to be applied to ANY of the characters (i.e. "blur" techniques, exaggerated takes, etc.)
At the price Amazon offers it for, it's a STEAL! Buy it in a bundle with the recently released "Draw the Looney Tunes: The Warner Bors. Character Design Manual" and open up your own animation studio! This isn't to be passed up!

Great book! A must for any fan or aspiring animator. I found the book an enjoyable read and full of info. If cartoony characters and zany expressions are your thing this is your book!

This booklet has a lot of Warner Brothers drawings, but it doesn't delve into the specifics of creating animation very well. I'd recommend getting The Animator's Survival Kit instead as it has tons of good and well explained info on the art of creating your own animation.

If you want to learn to draw the great Warner Brothers characters, this is the book. It is a long book with tons of tips and details, not just someone elses drawings to copy. Shows you haw to create movement and many other animators tips for the aspiring young animator. Both my son and I love taking turns with this book.
