1) "The Barber Of Seville" (1944)
It’s Woody’s best short, hands down. Culhane’s first film gives him a sharp new design by Hawkins and Heinemann and cranks up his craziness, pairing it with flawless speed, timing, and music sync as he belts “Largo al factotum” and gives the man “the whole works.”

2) "Woody Woodpecker" (1941)
This is the best of the early Woody shorts, with Mel Blanc’s great voice work giving Woody a wonderfully crazy voice, especially in the opening song. Given this is his second apperance so far, he makes a strong impression with his wild energy and trademark laugh.

3) "Convict Concerto" (1954)
Another great Woody short where he's forced to play Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 and smuggle some robbers away while the bumbling cop tries to stop them. The animation here is great; the timing and gags are excellent and plays really well to the rhythm of the track.

4) "Who's Cookin' Who?" (1946)
One of Culhane's best Woody shorts, taking inspiration from "What's Buzzin' Buzzard" and remaking an older Woody short "Pantry Panic" and making it more livier with great timing and camera panning for comedic effect.
Check out the clip I posted earlier this year!

You wanna see some demented stuff? Look no further than Woody and a wolf trying to cook and each other through some violent, yet funny quick timing gags.
The crazy character designs and camera panning helps the intense pace of the short.

Let's kick things off starting with number 5. "Niagara Fools" (1956)
This is a fan-favourite short and for good reason. It takes a simple premise: Woody trying to barrel down the falls while the mountie stops him but ends up taking the plunge and makes it funny with its variations on the gag.

And this is possibly my favourite Casper short: "Ghost Of The Town" (1952)
This is a fun one to check out seeing and is one where people acknowledge Casper being friendly outside of being a ghost and all the other tougher ghosts failing to scare anyone all 'cos of Casper's good deed.

Casper's turning 80 tomorrow so might as well showcase two of his best shorts.
One of them is "Boo Moon" (1954), the only 3D short and one I love mainly because of how excellent the backgrounds and 3D effects are. As such, it's best to find a 3D copy of this and watch it to see how great it looks.

Here's a Warner short from the 40s that a lot of people look over.
Not only does Carl Stalling use "Powerhouse B" for the first time, but Freleng would reuse the feud between two pets in his later shorts, especially with Sylvester.

Seeing Donald Duck as a bumbling fire chief who ends up starting a fire at his own station makes this an amusing watch. His nephews doing a better job adds to the humour. Also, great use of camera angles and great animation, as usual from a Disney short.

Easily the best Sam and Ralph short, and is a short I never get tired of watching.
The sequence with Ralph’s conveyor-belt morning routine is pure genius (even using “Powerhouse” here), showing his procrastination until his shift starts.

This is one of the best 50s Woody cartoons, in my opinion. The timing and gags are sharp, focusing on a witch who refuses to pay 50 cents for a new broom. With Mike Maltese writing, you can sorta feel a Road Runner-style of energy throughout the short.

Got one last Virgil Ross animation seen here in "A Bird in a Guilty Cage"
Freleng made a smart move by having Ross animate this scene. His smooth, expressive handling of Sylvester makes each pose flow naturally, showing Sylvester’s thought process as he tries on the different hats.

Here's a Clampett cartoon (Bugs Bunny Gets The Boid) with Virgil Ross's animation.
Here, the movement is smooth yet controlled, especially when Bugs and Beaky wrestle and dance together, fast and lively, without distortion, keeping a sense of real weight and believable motion throughout.

My animator of the month is Virgil Ross, who worked for Avery, Clampett and most prominently, Freleng. You can tell it's his work based on his usage of smears and how he leans a character's head down when they talk.
This is one of his memorable scenes in "Hare Trigger" where Bugs and Sam draw guns.

Also, expect a lot of Red Skeleton jokes here, given that Avery was a big fan of the radio program.

This is an overlooked Tom and Jerry short worth revisiting in my opinion. Though the pacing is slow (given it’s their 4th cartoon), it gives off some creepy vibes, especially when Tom’s nine lives seem to drain away thanks to one of Jerry’s pranks.
