Soprano is a 1958 American animated short film directed by David Chase and Ub Iwerks. It was produced in black and white by Warner Brothers and was released by Celebrity Productions. The cartoon is considered the debut of Tony Soprano and his girlfriend Carmella, although both characters appeared several months earlier in a test screening of Buggs Bunny Eats The Gabagool. Soprano was the third of Warner Brother's films to be produced, but it was the first to be distributed, because David Chase, having seen Hill Street Blues, had committed himself to produce one of the first fully synchronized sound cartoons.
