Warner Bros. Animation Inc. (abbreviated as WBA) is an American animation studio which is part of the Warner Bros. Television Group, a division of Warner Bros., which is a subsidiary of Warner Bros. Discovery and serves as the animation division and label of Warner Bros. As the successor to Warner Bros. Cartoons, which was active from 1933 to 1969, the studio is closely associated with the Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies characters, among others. Some of the most beloved characters in animation history, including Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, Yosemite Sam, Tweety Bird, Wile E. Coyote, and Bugs Bunny, have come from the studio, most voiced by giants of voiceover work like Mel Blanc, Paul Frees, and Frank Welker. After a hiatus in the 1970s Warner Bros. re-established its animation division in 1980 to produce Looney Tunes-related works, and Turner Broadcasting System merged with WBD predecessor Time Warner in 1996, as well as absorbing Hanna-Barbera Productions into the studio in 2001. In recent years, Warner Bros. Animation has specialized in producing television and direct-to-video animation featuring characters from other properties owned by Warner Bros. Discovery, including Turner Entertainment (which owns the rights to properties originally created by the MGM cartoon studio), Hanna-Barbera, Ruby-Spears, and DC Entertainment.
