Quentin Quail is a 1946 Warner Bros.Merrie Melodies cartoon directed by Chuck Jones.[1] The short was released on March 2, 1946.[2]
It presents a tale about a quail (voiced by Tedd Pierce) who goes through various trials and tribulations to try to get a worm for his baby, Toots (a take-off on Fanny Brice's radio character, Baby Snooks, voiced by Sara Berner[3]), only to be rebuffed by her because the worm looks like Frank Sinatra.
Prior to the release of this short, the name 'Quentin Quail' first appeared on a model sheet by Bob Clampett, done at some point before 1942. The character is a precursor to Clampett's more famous creation, Tweety, and bears a striking resemblance to the canary.[4]
