Evolution of Looney Tunes' GRANNY - 75 Years Explained | CARTOON EVOLUTION

CARTOON EVOLUTION #45 - GRANNY

I take a look at the history and evolution of Granny, the fan-favourite elder stateswoman of the Looney Tunes gang. First emerging officially in 1950, Granny had a surprisingly long proto-evolution dating back to the late-1930s, growing into a staple of the Tweety and Sylvester cartoons, and later, a beloved regular of the grander franchise.

In this video, we’ll trace her evolution from 1950 to now. To do so, we’ll touch on her design and personality changes over more than 7 decades of shorts, series and movies, while also discussing his notoriety and current place in pop culture.

I discuss how Granny has evolved over time, alongside other Looney characters such as Sylvester, Tweety, Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, and more. I also spotlight how animators have continually changed her look, appearance and personality over time. Here's my look at Pepé Le Pew (and Penelope Pussycat) through the years!

I'm glad Granny has finally gotten a retrospective. My favorite version is definitely the Looney Tunes Show. She's given so much depth, and I love her badass backstory.

[gavc.]

Granny definitely deserves the spotlight, she’s a really funny character in the roaster of Looney Tunes characters outside of Bugs, Daffy, Sylvester, Tweety, Wile E. Coyote and the Roadrunner

Also, R.I.P June Foray, she played Granny for a really good amount of years and I think she did great in her role!

[LowellLucasJr.]

I love Granny!❤ Her zany antics remind us that this gal has tremendous pep and won't let a silly thing like age show her down! She reminds me a lot of my own Grandma as she'll still surprise you with her craftiness!😂 She and I had a Granny/Tweety relationship, so watching any of their antics with Sylvester is always a welcomed treat!❤️

[deontaebates]

Babe wake up Dave Lee has made another Cartoon Evolution

[mayracordero]

I love granny from the looney tunes and I love her in the sylvester and tweety mysteries!

[suitman]

Tweety:Dwanny it’s that bad ol
Sylvester: why do I hear boss music?

[alessandrobarcio]

Oh, you made evolution of Granny from looney tunes. Oh man, the evolution of The Powerpuff girls must wait!

[sarysa]

Even though she mostly plays the straightwoman or the unusually trendy granny for laughs, she never gets old.
...er.

[angelagokool]

Granny is a riot! I loved how she always managed to get a one-up on Slyvester. But the last thing I remember seeing in her in was 1996's Space Jam, since my family and I didn't watch Looney Tunes over the past two decades. I didn't know that she'd made so many other appearances. Long live Granny! Bea Benaderet and June Foray, you will be missed. 😢

[Oscarhudson_Official]

My sister watched baby looney tunes when she was young.

[mechasaurus]

Nice to see World of Mayhem getting mentioned in this series.

[sergiosandoval]

It amazing these cartoon evolution ❤❤❤

[Peepimus]

Been waiting like a real granny for this one.!.!

[Harper_Onions]

18:05 - It's worth mentioning, the voice of Granny for World of Mayhem is Eric Bauza.
Yes, THAT Eric Bauza - the guy who's practically the modern day Mel Blanc, he's flipping everywhere.

[brianlevine]

Besides the various shorts, my favorite Granny appearances include that Easter special, "Sylvester and Tweety Mysteries, " and "The Looney Tunes Show." I love the backstory the latter gave Granny, although it's pretty bizarre that her younger self looks like Disney's Cinderella.

[thefantasticretroreviewer]

🎉🎉🎉Cartoon Evolution, featuring Granny!

[LowellLucasJr.]

15:46 ❤ Who would have ever thought that Granny was quite the bombshell as well as a spy for the us! This woman is full of surprises and I absolutely loved seeing this take on her! In a fun way, she almost resembles Lois Lane from the Fleischer are Superman shorts!❤

[briansivley]

I remember seeing The Sylvester and Tweety Mysteries and loving it 😁😁😁😁😁😁.

Candi Milo, also known as the 2nd voice of Dexter in Dexter's Laboratory, was also the current voice of Granny.

[kootunesscrewy]

I found the new host for Battle for Grandma, lol.
