- Arthur Davis (1905-2000) was an American animator who is best known for working at Warner bros. not only as an animator, but as a director. He got his first start as an assistant to chief animator Dick Huemer at the Fleischers studio around 1922 , and then later moved to the Charles Mintz’s studio around the mid to late 20's.
Davis' animation is very energetic in terms of the character's movements and expressions.
Special thanks to Jerry Beck for some of the identifications of Art Davis.

I think he's the most underrated director from the original WB cartoons studio next to Frank Tashlin. His shorts were a great middle ground between Clampett's broad zaniness and McKimson's aggressive tones.
Oh, so he animated Bug's title card poses from the 40s? That's quite cool!
I wondered who animated the first Bugs title card one used in the earliest Bugs shorts? But this title card animation looks so good that it can be mistaken for Robert McKinson
@@23567678 well the early 40s Bugs on the shield is an animator from Tex Avery and Bob Clampett’s units. So might be McKimson, Virgil Ross or Sid Sutherland
@@brockpifer9929 The original one from 1941 was animated by Bob McKimson. Tex Avery came up with the gag.
@@abdullahibouraleh6919 huh so it was Tex who thought of having Bugs ride on the Warner shield. Interesting
A Little fun Fact: Art was the Little Brother to Terrytoons Animator. Emanuel (Mannie) Davis
Just curious, how you know that about Art & Minnie? My grandma was their brothers, my dad their nephew. I would love to know more.
Wait, Arthur Davis actually did animate Bye Bye Bluebeard? How'd you knew he did animate for that particular short he directed, I always thought Robert McKimson was the only director for Warner Bros. to actually do some of the animation of his own directed shorts for Warner Bros.
I'm just wondering that's all!
FIRST.
@@jennymartinez4051 No one cares.
I never knew Art did animation in his own cartoons. He’s probably the only other director who did it beside McKinson
Ken Harris directed and did some animations on "Hare-Abian Nights", but that's very rare. By extension you can say Ben Washam("Advance and Be Mechanized") but that's for another studio entirely.
@@gluttonousmaximus9048 And by another studio you mean MGM!
Bob Clampett provided animation in his first directorial effort: Porky's Badtime Story (1937).
Really nice job editing to the music with this one. I like Art's take on the Clampett bugs.
May I ask where you found the Columbia shorts? Farm Relief looks like fun.

(0:00) “Hare Trigger” was the first one to use that Bugs Bunny opening.
Ray Young was the assistant animator to Art Davis (also Ray's wife worked at Warner's in the Ink & Paint Dept.,) Ray & his wife travelled to Australia in 1963 & worked as an actual animator at Atransa Park Film Studios on a series of "Beetle Bailey' 6-minute cartoon shorts which was where I got to rub shoulders with him for around 1-year. Interesting man, who knew all the tricks of the trade for producing really great Warner's style animation. Was to learn heaps from this guy which improve my own animation no end. As a hobby back in the States he flew his own single engine aeroplane. Very friendly guy, always interesting & fun to be around. Had many fasinating inside behind the scenes stories to tell about Warner's & it's animator's including of course, Art Davis.
Just one little hiccup in the description, Halloween (1931) was actually RKO not Columbia.
Even though it was made in the same Charles Mintz studio.
I’m pretty sure he said in a interview or something that he didn’t like being a director and much preferred being a animator when he directed at warners which I found interesting
Could you make a sequel reel to Bob McKimson? I already made sequel reels to Rod Scribner and Manny Gould.
I Love Looney Tunes
It's my favorite cartoon
0:54 perfectly timed.
Where did you get the good copy of Cracked Quack?
Maybe it's from "Bugs Bunny's 3rd Movie: 1001 Rabbit Tales".
So great to see ya again.
By the way, where do you find Barn Relief?

@@DowntheInkwell thanks. Didn't get the notification earlier
Note: “Halloween” (1931) was distributed by RKO Radio Pictures not Columbia
I wonder what scenes Davis animated in Swooner Crooner. The Durante and Calloway roosters move like the characters in his later one shots
0:20 is Rodrick H. Scribner... I think.
Random SCM The scene starts out Art Davis, but turns to Rod Scribner later on. Every frame that is present here is strictly Art.
Oh hey doodled
