Warner Bros doesn't have the accolade of the "longest running cartoon in history". The longest running cartoon in history is Japan's Sazaea-San which while starting in 1969 was based on Machiko Hasegawa's newspaper comic which began in 1948.-Warner Bros. didn't launch anything in 1969 that became the 'longest running in history'.The Bugs Bunny Show which was composed of Merrie Melodies & Looney Tunes shorts launched in 1960 & lasted for 4 decades on Saturday mornings under various titles until 2000, but still isn't the longest in history. Also it wasn't producing new episodes in its run. The last new episode for The Bugs Bunny show was produced in 1962.
