When I saw a recent airing of "The Corny Concerto," I noticed three of Warner Bros. greatest directors teamed up for that cartoon -- Bob Clampett (director), Robert McKimson (animator) and Frank Tashlin (story). (Of course McKimson had not yet been promoted to director, but it still counts for me).
I was wondering if there were any examples of FOUR of the WB great directors (Tex Avery, Bob Clampett, Arthur Davis, Friz Freleng, Chuck Jones, Robert McKimson, and Frank Tashlin) that had a hand in any single WB cartoons (by directing, animating, writing, etc.)

Since no replied to my post, may I presume that no one is aware of any WB cartoons in which FOUR of the great directors (Avery, Clampett, Davis, Freleng, Jones, McKimson and Tashlin collaborated?
Besides "A Corny Concerto," are there any others on which THREE of them worked?

Didn't Tex Avery direct a lot of cartoons with Clampett and Jones as animators?

Right off my web sitewww.davemackey.com/animation/wb (http://www.davemackey.com/animation/wb):

Shake Your Powder Puff
Rel 9/29/34 - Prod ???? - MPAA ??? - MM
Sup: Isadore Freleng - Anim: Bob McKimson, Bob Clampett - Music: Bernard Brown
Video: None.

If you consider Bernard Brown to be a "Great" director on the basis of two cartoons which were more or less "policy decisions" according to I. Freleng....
