Cool Cat is a 1967 animated cartoon that introduced its title character, Cool Cat. It marked a major change of direction for the then recently reformed Warner Bros. animation studio, as the first cartoon in a long time to introduce a major new character (virtually every Looney Tunes cartoon made in the previous three years had been ones featuring Daffy Duck versus Speedy Gonzales, or Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner, the latter were gone in 1966), who would go on to be the studio's most prolific character between then and the studio's final shutdown in 1969.
