Loopy De Loop was a theatrical series of cartoons produced by Creator/HannaBarbera starting in 1959 all the way through 1965. While the men behind the company had plenty of experience in theatrical cartoons, as they cut their teeth on WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry among others, Loopy was the only one of his kind from the studio itself, released theatrically by Creator/ColumbiaPictures (who partially funded the series and was H-B's partner studio for much of this timeframe).

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Whenever Loopy tries to help someone out, they immediately dismiss (or even injure) him on the grounds that he’s a wolf. Given this series began in 1959, it’s not too hard to understand what it’s supposed to be an allegory for.
** For example: in one short, a pair of rocket scientists can’t use dogs as test subjects because of the Humane Society’s objections, but they’re delighted to see Loopy because “nobody cares what happens to a wolf.”

** Also happens in "Crook Who Cried Wolf" multiple times where everyone assumes Loopy is a crook in a wolf mask.
* PoorlyDisguisedPilot: Towards the end of the series this trope seems to crop up a lot. If the presence of the aforementioned Bigelow Mouse wasn't a tip-off, in some of these shorts like the ones with Braxton Bear it is also as if Loopy has walked into these other character's shorts.
** Of course at the time most of HB's funny animal characters were on tv shows with ThreeShorts each. Loopy was a theatrical series, perhaps these characters were in the running to be his backup segments if he went to television.

** Within the shorts themselves other wolves appear that play this trope straight.
* BreakingTheFourthWall: Loopy shorts have opened with Loopy openly talking into the camera or sometimes with the narrator.



** Loopy is also prone to some variation of stating he is "Kind, charming, considerate" among other adjectives.
