===Animation=== Cantor appears in caricature form in numerous ''[[Looney Tunes]]'' cartoons produced for Warner Bros., although he was often voiced by an imitator. Beginning with ''I Like Mountain Music'' (1933), other animated Cantor [[cameo role|cameos]] include ''Shuffle Off to Buffalo'' ([[Harman-Ising]], 1933) and ''[[Billboard Frolics]]'' ([[Friz Freleng]], 1935). Eddie Cantor is one of the four "down on their luck" stars (along with [[Bing Crosby]], Al Jolson, and Jack Benny) snubbed by [[Elmer Fudd]] in ''[[What's Up, Doc? (1950 film)|What’s Up, Doc?]]'' ([[Bob McKimson]], 1950). In ''[[Farm Frolics]]'' ([[Bob Clampett]], 1941), a horse, asked by the narrator to "do a canter", promptly launches into a singing, dancing, eye-rolling impression. The Cantor gag that got the most mileage, however, was his oft-repeated wish for a son after five famous daughters. ''[[Slap-Happy Pappy]]'' (Clampett, 1940) features an "Eddie Cackler" rooster that wants a boy, to little avail. Other references can be found in ''[[Baby Bottleneck]]'' (Clampett, 1946) and ''Circus Today'' ([[Tex Avery]], 1940). In ''Merrie Melodies'', ''[[The Coo-Coo Nut Grove]]'' Cantor's many daughters are referenced by a group of singing quintuplet girls. In ''Porky’s Naughty Nephew'' (Clampett, 1938) a swimming Cantor gleefully adopts a "buoy".<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.i-foo.com/~eocostello/wbcc/eowbcc-c.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111007104507/http://www.i-foo.com/~eocostello/wbcc/eowbcc-c.html|url-status=dead|title=From ''The Warner Bros.
