March 24, 1946 –
The first cartoon to feature Sylvester the Cat, Life with Feathers, directed by Friz Freleng was released on this date.
Carefully rendered background details are shown, as was the norm for cartoons of this era. Lace doilies, wallpaper, baseboards, a radio, even the cookbook, are all drawn as these objects appeared at the time.
