There's Mel Blanc... And then there's everyone else

growing up in SoCal in the 50's made Saturday mornings magical for us.

Time to have Mel Blanc biopic. The best timeframe is the period where from uncredit to become the first voice actor credited on screen.

Billy West!!! The modern Mel Blanc.

Mel’s genius is that he was, and is a character actor not jus simply a voice over; not to mention a wonderful! person

R.I.P. Mel Blanc, Chuck Jones, Friz Freleng, Joseph Barbera, Stan Freberg, Janet Waldo and June Foray.

70 and these aree the voices that raised me. Thank you Mel Blanc for the smiles!!

Mel was the glue that tied it all together!! An absolute GENIUS! Also he was just a remarkable human being. RIP Mr Blanc

They need to do another documentary like this, but with more voice actors doing interviews, like Seth Macfarlane, Frank Welker, fred tatasciore, Tara Strong, and many more including more by the people here, with archived material by the ones that are now gone. He deserves so much more and we deserve to hear what others in his field think about him.

LOVED this. I wept real tears when Mel Blanc died...the only celebrity death I've ever cried over. Does anyone know, where did this doc come from? Was it made for TV? An indie documentary? It appears to be from way back in the 20th century! 😜

He did?

Bloody fairy lol😂😂😂😂

Mel Blanc could’ve reprised his roles as Bugs Bunny, Sylvester the Cat, Daffy Duck, Speedy Gonzales, Yosemite Sam, Pepe Le Pew, Wile E. Coyote, Tweety, Marvin the Martian, and Foghorn Leghorn this time for the 1990 TV series Tiny Toon Adventures as he would’ve recorded his dialogue and that should’ve been his final time before he died.

Love mel blanc

Is there such a live performance video of him singing Are you lonesome tonight laughing version?

Mel Blanc was the greatest. He did like to embellish just a tad though. He didn't create Porky's voice entirely all by himself. The truth is: he was chosen because he could perfectly mimic the original Porky voice actor that had an uncontrollable stutter. Mel could control it and make it even more funny. They soon found he could do many voices. He was the best.

RIP Mel Blanc There will never be another person like Mel Blanc!! 😢😢😢

How is this music produced

My grandma used to sing me this song when I was a little girl...now I sing it to my granddaughter ❤🍭🍫🍬

56:24 This scene got me in the feels. He’s the reason I became a Shriner.

thanks for posting .. they don't make shows like this anymore now that Letterman is gone ...

Sorry mel Blanc

He was a genius.

R.I.P Mel,I certainly remember those toons and even today I encouraged my own children to enjoy loony tunes and even today if I feel like a smile I will put old cartoons on the computer, but I didn't know that Mel was the voice of the Jetsons and Fred and Barney, such a talented gentleman.

Beautiful!

HaHa KZfaq

Thank you for this video.

What an amazing man!. UK here and I knew his name from credits for years and certainly his characters. So humble and a great influence on people around him.

49:26 Tom and Jerry was created by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera, since Mel Blanc voiced in Tom and Jerry Chuck Jones-produced cartoons at MGM and he did also voiced as Tom screams in The Milky Waif (reused from The Hungry Wolf (1943 MGM Cartoon)).

18:00 Woody Woodpecker laugh OG

My favourite looney tune character is and always will be BUGS BUNNY. And my favourite cartoon is and always will be called Falling hare 🖤

He was A GIFT TO MANKIND! A MARVEL! A GUINNESS! AN AMAZING ARTIST. To think he had to BEG for the Job FOR TWO YEARS!!!!!

wonderful documentary giving me an insight into the wonderful person he was. Sadly taken to early, with so much more to give to others. He won't be forgotten and for me Looney Tunes live on forever! Nothing comes close to his characters and those brilliant cartoons! Thank you for the memories Mel Blanc!

What is the name of the music played beginning at 1:03:09?

Rest in Peace ✌️ Mel Blanc aka man 👨 of 1000 voices (1908-1989) 😢😢😢

Thank God he survived that crash

*Parade with different music overlayed

once in a life talent...May God Bless Mel Blanc

I downloaded the bits from WB before they took them of the first website back in 1994

The man was an absolute genius. If you grew up in the fifties like I did we were immersed in the work of Mel Blanc and Warner Brothers and became quite jaded, Most animation that came later was lacking, sometimes sorely lacking.

Wonderful documentary! Thanks for making it available to us. What a gift Mel was given, and that he In turn gave millions of people around the world, especially children. And Kirk Douglas perhaps said it best: it’s an immortal gift that will keep on giving. The gift of laughter. He was indeed a great actor, and an exceptional human being.

Thank you,so well done.i grew up with these cartoons and mel blanc was the GOAT.❤

Mel Blanc had a thousand voices, but they all sounded the same.

I have heard several different stories about where Mel's talents came from. I have heard that he had always been able to do the voices, dating back to his days in grade school and I had heard that Mel had been involved in a traffic accident, ended up in a coma and the voices came out while he was unconscious. I had heard that, while he was in the coma, the Doctors were chatting with the voices and one of the Docs thought to ask if Mel was in there; When they said yes, they invited Mel to come over and say hello, and that was when Mel came out of the coma.

That something. In 1961 he was almost killed by an Olds Ninety Eight and died in 1989 while shooting a commercial for the Olds Eighty Eight.

That was a great tribute.

Mel Blanc and the people who made those cartoons had a real feeling for children. They didn't "talk down to them" with the content of the stories nor with the characters. He reminds me somewhat of Jonathan Winters who not only does voices but all sorts of other sound effects. I'll bet if those two ever met over a couple of beers that the other people in the room would be entertained like never before. I remember the first time I ever saw Mel Blanc on The Tonight Show. As a little kid whose parents let him stay up late that night, it was like magic. As a little kid, I used to do cartoon voices and imitations of people the comics on Ed Sullivan were doing for my little sister to make her laugh. Mel Blanc was my inspiration for all of it. So here's one of my answering machine messages... done in my best Snagglepuss voice with plenty of fake slobber... "Sufferin' succotash, ya just missed me.... but you can still leave me a message. Just say it succinctly and we'll solve this snafu once and for all... and won't that just be.... ssssuper?!!!"

I gotta say while I never knew the man about 15 or 20 years ago I came across an ad for one of mel blanc's old cars, the man had taste let me tell you, a vintage true, full on, Miami Vice spec daytona spider, black and tan with the borrani wire wheels, like the photos alone were like a pin up on wheels with how beautiful it was lol like that man had taste, let me tell ya lol like it looked as good as James Coburns car before that idiot took the bumpers off and slapped a Fer 1 plate on it lol like DAMN was that b'itch beautiful lol like my hats off to the man, that was beautiful lol

Old Bugs called "Huntin' Season" banned, had song "Hail to the Hunter & his Gun" was turned into 3 or 4 other cartoons. What's up Dog ?

Wonderful! Thank you. 💟
