  • October 8: Voice actor Mel Blanc loses a trial against animation producer Walter Lantz, whom he'd sued for unauthorized use of his voice and laugh for the character Woody Woodpecker. Blanc had voiced the character in his three first cartoons, before Warner Brothers took an exclusivity contract on him. However, Lantz had kept using audio recordings of Woody's laugh and had other actors imitate the voice. The judge rules that Blanc has no case since he didn't copyright Woody's voice. However, Lantz does settle the case out of court and pays him some compensation afterwards.
