W is for Wilton's Wandering Willbury's from Warner

I've always had a preference for Hanna Barbera (Scooby, Wacky Races), MGM (Tom & Jerry, which was originally Hanna and Barbera) or Warner or over Disney, it's not that I hate Disney, some of its output is excellent, some now considered classic, but I have never liked the Micky/Daisy 'Disnyland' Disney, and think Fantasia was ruined by the sudden appearance of the dratted mouse for the Sorcerers Apprentice sequence!

 

But Warner Brothers had quite a cast of characters for their Loony Tunes and Merrie Melodies shorts, and five of the best are featured here in this band of a band, of cake decorations from Wilton. Large scale and Polystyrene, like most of Wilton's output, but not all of it - Circus wagons, for instance.

Bugs Bunny conducts - from the left; Sylvester (oboe), Porky Pig (cymbals), Daffy Duck (saxophone) and Tweety (aka; Tweety Pie or Tweety Bird, bass-drum). And I hope that's a band-master's baton, because if Bugs is about to sing, I could quickly lump him in with that squeaky mouse!

 

The extra joke being that Tweety, the smallest of them all, gets to struggle with the largest instrument! They are glued to matching green disc-bases, fully marked-up with Warner and Wilton property messeging.
