Woody Woodpecker

...Meanwhile, Disney went on to use the world's first stereo sound in their unprecedented feature-length film Fantasia (1940), a culmination of the Silly Symphonies, completing a grandly ambitious work that combined music and moving images. From the late 1930s to the 1940s, when World War II was about to begin, short animated cartoons that were violent and destructive, in stark contrast to the heartwarming Disney cartoons, flourished, including Woody Woodpecker (1940-72) produced by Walter Lantz, Tom and Jerry (1940-58) directed by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera, Bugs Bunny (1938-64) and Road Runner (1949-68) for Warner Bros. directed by Robert McKinson, Chuck Jones, and Fritz Frieleng, ushering in the golden age of Hollywood cartoon comedy (slapstick comics). This trend continued into the 1950s, even involving Disney works (such as the Donald Duck series).
