April 15, 1943 –
The Merrie Melodies short, The Unbearable Bear, directed by Chuck Jones and starring Sniffles, debuted on this date.
Starting from this cartoon, Sniffles has been recast as an incessant chatterbox who serves more as a nuisance than a cute protagonist, borrowing influences from Friz Freleng’s discarded Little Blabbermouse character.
