What is the name of the ramshackle building used as the animation studio for the Merrie Melodies project?

• A. Termite Terrace
• B. Studio One
• C. Ink and Paint Barn
• D. The Brickhouse

Answer: (A)

The important idea here is how studios pick up memorable nicknames from their working conditions and history. Termite Terrace is the name that stuck for the Warner Bros. animation building where the Merrie Melodies unit worked. The label comes from the building’s shabby, termite-ridden state, which the animators embraced as a kind of rough charm rather than a flaw. That nickname became iconic in animation history and is specifically associated with the early Merrie Melodies production space. The other names aren’t tied to that era or to Warner Bros.’ Merrie Melodies, so they don’t fit the historical reference.
