Clampett died of a heart attack in his hotel room in Detroit, Michigan, six days before his 71st birthday, while touring the country to promote the home video release of Beany & Cecilcartoons.

During his roughly sixteen years with the studio, Clampett played a key role in the development of the Warner cartoons style of humor and characters.

Robert Emerson "Bob" Clampett (May 8, 1913 - May 2, 1984) was an American director, producer, animator, and puppeteer, best known for his work with both of Warner Bros. ' cartoon series, Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies.
As Bob Clampett’s reign at Warner Brothers Cartoons was coming to an end in the first half of 1945, a young, very talented man was brought in to do voices. As his autobiography says, he took a bus to Hollywood, went straight to a talent agency, and was promptly hired by Warners.
He left Warner Bros. in 1945 and turned his attention to television, in which he produced the puppet show Time for Beany in 1949. A later animated version of the series, Beany and Cecil, first aired on ABC in 1962 and was considered the first creator-driven animated television series, branding itself with the byline "a Bob Clampett Cartoon".
