Notes
[edit]- ^ Two additional shorts (Zip Zip Hooray! and Road Runner a Go-Go) were produced by DePatie–Freleng Enterprises, which reused footage from Chuck Jones' 1962 unsold television pilot Adventures of the Road Runner, with the original audio kept intact.[1] Despite this, these cartoons are not officially part of the Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies filmography. Unofficially, this would bring 1965 to 21 cartoons, and the entire filmography to 1001 shorts as opposed to 999.
- ^ a b Shorts without an episode number within the year constitute cutdowns from Adventures of the Road Runner (1962).
