Place of origin

Children's 8mm films, produced to be shown on a variety of cine projectors, were particularly popular during the 1960s and 1970s. Televisions were becoming common in British households, and the production of programmes and films for children was on the increase. The 8mm films of the time reflected this output both in cartoon or live action form. The Looney Tunes cartoons made by Warner Brothers include such characters as Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck and Road Runner.
