The Three Little Bops (1957) by Friz Freleng
Instrument credits are believed to be:
Vocals - Stan Freberg (credited on the short)
Saxophone - Pepper Adams (or possibly Jimmy Giuffre)
Trumpet/flugelhorn - Shorty Rogers (credited on the short)
Piano - Pete Jolly
Guitar - Barney Kessel
Bass - Red Callender (or possibly Red Mitchell)
Drums - Stan Levey (or possibly Shelly Manne)
This is the only Warner Brothers cartoon to not feature Mel Blanc doing voice characterizations during the period of Blanc's exclusive contract with the studio. It is also one of only three from that time frame that gives a voice credit to anyone other than Blanc (the others were The Mouse that Jack Built, which credits the cast of The Jack Benny Program, of which Blanc was a cast member and thus was credited accordingly, and The Unmentionables, which credits Blanc and Ralph James). Although Freberg, among others, had contributed voices to Warner Brothers cartoons during this time, none of them were credited.

Robotix (1985)
The series follows the conflict between the peaceful Protectons and the warmongering Terrakors on the alien world of Skalorr, and a group of humans who get caught up in the conflict. It was produced by Sunbow Productions and Marvel Productions, and was animated in Japan by Toei Animation, which also animated other cartoons featured on Super Sunday.
Unlike most animated shows, Robotix was not a 22-minute cartoon, but was rather a series of fifteen six-minute shorts that aired as part of the Super Sunday half-hour with other animated shows, including Jem and the Holograms, Inhumanoids, and Bigfoot & the Muscle Machines. While Jem and Inhumanoids had enough success to be turned into full-fledged series, Robotix was cancelled after its debut season.
