Looney Tunes creators are some of the most creative folks in the business. They have a knack for taking an idea and getting absolutely wacky with it, hence the lovable rascals we know today (here's lookin' at you, Bugs Bunny!).
When it came to their 1941 cartoon "Hollywood Steps Out," there was no shortage of creativity and hilarity. In this part spoof featuring some of the biggest names in the biz at the time, Hollywood's finest attend a delightful soirée.
The eight-minute short shows the stars arriving, greeting one another, and settling in for a night of revelry and fun. Many of Hollywood's finest are easy to spot, and others are a little trickier. Let's see if you can name them all. Can you recognize the cartoon versions of these A-list Hollywood elites from the golden age?
