Warner Brothers versus Disney

Disney
Warner Brothers

Which of these fine companies (used lightly) entertained you most in your sweet sweet childhood.


translation: Which made better cartoons...



personnally: Warner had better cartoons characters EVERYTHING...except animated movies, disney made great ones for a short period of time (Mermaid - Hunchback) and then got crappish again...


Mickey sucks btw one of the worse characters ever i think. Bugs Bunney is so much better

Warner Brothers all the way. Given that I have about fifteen videos and DVD's of their cartoons as well as other bits and bobs of merchandise.

Disney are only good for overpriced theme parks.

Warner Bros win the short animated cartoon prize.
They have Bugs & Elmer, Porky Pig, Daffy Duck, Marvin the Martian, Yosamite Sam, Foghorn Leghorn Pepe la Pew, Road Runner & Wile E. Coyote, Silvester & Tweety, Taz, Pinky & the Brain, Animaniacs, Yosemite Sam.
My memory ain't the best... I'm sure there's lots more.

Disney win the feature length animation prize.
They produced the first ever feature length animated movie, Snow White, in 1937.
Other classics include Jungle Book, Pinochio, Cinderella, 101 Dalmations, Sleeping Beauty, Beauty & the Beast, The Lion King, Aladdin, Monsters Inc., Toy Story (with Pixar), Hercules, Finding Nemo.

Unfortunately Warner Bros just dont cut it with the feature lengths imo. Space Jam, Iron Giant, Pokemon Movie, Bugs Bunny & Road Runner Movie (yes that smash hit from 1979!) , Osmosis Jones, The Powerpuff Girls Movie. All watchable but not great.

And I don't like Disney shorts much either. Mickey & Minnie Mouse, Donald & Daisy Duck, Goofy, Pluto, Chip n Dale, Huey, Dewey and Louie Duck... they all had relatively passable short animations but they don't compare to the entertainment value of the Warner Bros shorts.
Disney also went through a phase of being "arty". They used to take well known fairy tales or famous pieces of music and animate them. Although that might have been good in creativity and artistic standards they were usually boring.

10 thumbs up to both companies but for different reasons.

Warner Brothers purely for Wile E. Coyote

Aye - Warners All the way, innit!

Didn't know they were responsible for Osmosis Jones. I really enjoyed that one - Bill Murray eating dirty eggs...and the voices in the cartoon section were great, Chris Rock, William Shatner and David Hyde Pearce....

To prove their mousely worth, they'll overthrow the earth, they're Pinky, they're Pinky and the Brain Brain Brain Brain Brain duh duh duh daaa duh, dum dum.
So yeah, I'd go with WB too. Never really liked any of the Disney cartoons, even the films.

Without a doubt it would have to be Warner Brothers.

Don't forget all the cool Batman and Superman cartoons.

And the Iron Giant is one of the finest animated films of all time.. the end makes me cry every time... I've never cried at any other film...

Xerxes

Warner Brothers, so many good memories

Yup.. bugs and co defintily. But disney films are far superiour . The lion King people, best film, eva.

littleninja

Warner Bros would be the best for normal cartoons and Disney would be best for movies really

christmas 'round chez 'trousers had no small amount of meself and the dear departed Da sitting down watching those Warner Bros cartoon movies (glorified compilations really) cackling like loons and shouting 'duck season-rabbit season' ad nauseum.

Has to be Warner Bros, no contest.

I too prefer WB - Piny and the Brain, Anamaniacs, Bugs, Elmer Fudd etc.

I never liked Disney or thw Wonderful World of Disney.

Was more of a fan of Tom and Gerry but warner brothers cartoons would mop the floor with disney cartoons anyday.

guess warner brothers ones were more violent or something.

favorite warner brothers cartoon Speedy gonzalez

Was pepe le peau warner brothers? he was always trying to get it on with that cat LOL

BlitzKrieg

all of the ones you named (including tom and jerry) are WB well the skunk is anyway.


i like disneys films in the 90's but the earlier ones are not the great and niether are many of the new ones either. And Mickey Mouse is a muppet.

BuffyBot

Tom and Jerry was MGM, not Warner Bros
