The first ''Looney Tunes'' cartoon short, ''[[Sinkin' in the Bathtub]]'', was released in 1930. Since then, the series has become a worldwide franchise. It has been shown on television from the 1960s until the present day. When shown on television, it is changed to get rid of heavy [[violence]], [[smoking]], [[alcohol]], and [[Racism|racist]] [[stereotype]]s, but those parts were put back in on home video releases, but with a warning that the cartoons were made in a different time. There have been several TV series, full-length films, comic books, music albums, video games, and amusement park rides based on these shorts.
