Summary: THE index on all Warner Brothers cartoon
Comment: Do you know that feeling? You're watching a Warner Brothers cartoon, and you would really like to know who made it and when. If you do, you should buy this book. It is not about highlights, it is not a history of Warner Brothers animation, but a list of ALL Warner Brothers shorts in chronological order, each item contains information about who made it, when it was made, with which stars and with what story line. Sure, when you don't know the title of the short it involves a lot of scanning through the pages (there are very few illustrations), but you WILL be able to get this information. Not an entertaining book, but a must-have encyclopedia for all Warner Brothers cartoon fans.
However, for background information one should turn to the richly illustrated "that's all folks, the art of Warner Brothers animation".

Summary: The "forewunner", as Elmer Fudd would say
Comment: Eight years before publishing their masterpiece "Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies...", Friedwald and Beck teamed up for "The Warner Bros. Cartoons". This book lacks illustrations and the text is less informative than in the later work, but it does have concise reviews or plot synopses of every Warner's cartoon released between 1930 and 1969. It's interesting to note the changes of opinion on some of the cartoons...for example, "The Apes Of Wrath" is unfavorably reviewed in 'TWBC' (probably by Beck) and more highly regarded (by Friedwald) in 'LT&MM'. Both books should be on the reading list of every Warner Brothers cartoon fan.
