Clampett was promoted to a directorial position in 1937. During his 15 years at the studio, he directed 84 cartoons, many later deemed classics, and designed some of the studio's most famous characters, including Porky Pig, Daffy Duck, and Tweety. Among his most acclaimed films are \u003ci\u003ePorky in Wackyland\u003c\/i\u003e (1938) and \u003ci\u003eThe Great Piggy Bank Robbery\u003c\/i\u003e (1946). He left Warner Bros. Cartoons in 1946 and turned his attention to television, creating the puppet show \u003ci\u003eTime for Beany\u003c\/i\u003e in 1949. A later animated version of the series, \u003ci\u003eBeany and Cecil\u003c\/i\u003e, was initially broadcast on ABC in 1962 and rerun until 1967.
