Robert C. Bruce
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Robert C. Bruce was the narrator for a number of Warner Bros. cartoons in the 1930s and 1940s. The Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies series' had occasional entries which were driven not by one of their stable of stars such as Bugs Bunny or Daffy Duck, but by individual short sketches, usually filled with sight gags and word-play.
A few examples:
- Detouring America (1939)
- Aviation Vacation (1941)
- Who's Who in the Zoo (1942)
- Orange Blossoms For Violet (1952)
Bruce never got a screen credit, but his voice was recognizable, and he is mentioned in the commentary for the Looney Tunes Golden Collection.
He also introduces the cartoon What's Cookin' Doc? (1944) which begins with a filmed segment about Oscar night, and transitions into a Bugs Bunny cartoon.
