The God Of Looney Tunes

Without saying much, to have a great cartoon, you must have believable characters. To make them believable, a person must have good voice actors. Nowadays there can be over 20 voice actors on a television show, each with their own character. But back in the old days when cartoons were expensive to make, you needed less actors to have more money. There could even be, but rarely be, one man who plays all characters. One man that did this was Mel Blanc, a person who I consider God of Looney Tunes. Born in May 30 of 1908, Mel is considered the greatest actor of the Cartoon Golden Age. He voiced Barny Rubble, Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Foghorn Leghorn, Speedy Gonzales, and Pepe Le Pew. Those weren't his only voices, for he did nearly every Looney Tunes character made. At the time of his death in 1989, people figured over 20 million people heard his voice every day. He died of heart disease, which is considered a huge lost for the cartoon industry. Mel is recognized as a highly influential man for the world of today. The movie critic, Leonard Maltin once noted, "It's hard to imagine Tweety Bird and Yosemite Sam being done by the same person." Mel Blanc has been called the Man With A Thousand Voices, because he has nearly done that many. He gave realistic accents to the Mexican Speedy Gonzales and the French Skunk Pepe Le pew, my favorite character just for his voice. Only a few characters has he had to do impressions for, because he mostly did do original characters. Mel was a great man, he inspired many other actors and influenced the world greatly. It's impossible to rank this man, for he would surpass any score. Mel Blanc, I wish you the best.      In Honor Of Mel Blanc Born May 30, 1908 Died July 10, 1989.
