Leon Schlesinger Bio/Wiki, Net Worth, Married 2018

Leon Schlesinger occupies an odd niche in Hollywood history. He was every bit a studio mogul but occupied a narrow, if extremely lucrative corner of the industry, an animation company. He might have shared this corner with Walt Disney but the two men couldn't have been more different in their professional outlook, yet at one time or another each ...

#Quote
1[His initial response to "Snow White & the Seven Dwarves] I need animated features like I need two assholes.
2His usual statement before he saw the cartoons in the the showing room: "Roll the Garbage"
#Fact
1Withdrew his cartoons from Academy Award consideration in 1938 as a protest for perceived preferential treatment afforded to Walt Disney.
2From its creation in August, 1931 through the end of the decade, Schlesinger's 'Merrie Melodies' (the second series created after Looney Tunes in May, 1930) were contractually obligated to contain at least one song out of the Warner Brothers licensed catalog. This requirement often resulted in the story lines being stopped dead in their tracks; his unit directors hated this requirement.
3As bad as Schlesinger could be to work for, his replacement, ex-Warner Bros. publicity director Edward Selzer, was worse. Schlesinger simply ignored the creative process, while Selzer was annoyed by it. Chuck Jones recalled Selzer admonishing his directors laughing in a hallway saying, 'and just what the hell does all this laughter got to do with making animated cartoons?'
4Left an estate worth $904,700.00
5Was the inspiration for Daffy Duck's lisp.
