Beaky Buzzard

And now here is Beaky Buzzard.

Beaky Buzzard is a buzzard (although he is more closely resembles like a vulture or condor) with black body feathers and a white tuft around his throat. His neck is long and thin, bending 90 degrees at an emormous adam's apple. His neck and head are featherless, and his beak is large and yellow or orange, depending on the cartoon. Beaky bears a perpetual goofy grin, and his eyes look eternally half-asleep.

Giving voice to Beaky Buzzard was Mel Blanc who played Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, Speedy Gonzales, Sylvester, Tweety Bird, and Foghorn Leghorn.


Miss Prissy

Miss Prissy is typically described as an old spinster hen, thinner than the other hens in the chicken coop, wearing a blue bonnet and wire-rimmed glasses. The other hens descride her as "old square britches". Prissy lives in the yard of Foghorn Leghorn's, where she intends among several things, a husband and children.


The voice of Miss Prissy is provided by Bea Benaderet.

Foghorn Leghorn is a character that appears in the Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies cartoons for Warner Bros. He was created by Robert McKimson, and starred in 28 cartoons between 1946 and 1963 in the Golden Age of American animation. Foghorn is a large, white adult Leghorn rooster with a sterotypically Southern accent, a "good ol' boy" speaking style, and a penchant for mischief. Most common among himself was his humming a song called, "Camptown Races" in which the intelligible words "Doo-Dah! Doo-Dah!" makes him singing along. He sneaks up in front of the sleeping Barnyard Dawg at his doghouse, picking up his tail and rapidly whacking, and gives him a chase.

Tweety Bird

Tweety Bird is a fictional Yellow Canary in the Warner Bros. Looney Tunes and Merries Melodies series of animated cartoons. The name "Tweety" is a play on words, as it originally meant "sweetie", along with "tweet" being a typical English onomatopoeia for the sounds of the birds. Tweety appeared in 49 cartoon in the Golden Age. He is so cute and his voice was a high pitched when he said, "I did! tawt I taw a puddy tat!"  In fact, Tweety outsmarts Sylvester as he tries to catch him in the 2011 3D version of the song, "I Tawt I Taw a Puddy Tat."

The voice of Tweety was voiced by Mel Blanc who provided Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, Speedy Gonzales, and Sylvester the Cat.

Speedy Gonzales

He usually wears an oversized yellow sombrero, white shirt and trousers ( Which is a common traditional outfit worn by men and boys of rural Mexican villages), and a red kerchief, similar to that reveler in the San Fermin festival. Speedy also speaks a little bit of English and Spanish, for example "Andele Arriba!" the meaning of "hurry up". Speedy Gonzales is originally voiced by Mel Blanc who provides the other Looney Tunes voices like Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, and Porky Pig.
