why can't WB get its flagship cartoon characters right? So are Bugs and Daffy shacking up together??You must try to generate happiness within yourself. If you aren't happy in one place, chances are you won't be happy anyplace. -Ernie BanksComment

It's crazy - Right?!
Aside from the fact that that promo art makes me want to puke, why do they think they need to turn Looney Tunes into a sit-com to make it work now?Comment

I don't think it looks that bad. It's certainly better than any of the Loony Tunes work done in the 80s to bridge those clip films. And anything is better than Loonatics Unleashed.

It really doesn't matter what the art looks like because it's going to suck regardless.
People have been trying to make these 70 year old characters clever for the past 50 years and failed miserably each time.Comment

"enlarge this picture if you hate your eyes"
I am so stealing that.
Looney Toons are timeless and wonderful, I watch them endlessly with my kids and I have seen them all 100 times. I have no desire for a revamp, absolutely none, it's a wonderful universe in of itself.Places to find PlaidStallions online: https://linktr.ee/Plaidstallions

You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...Comment

>I don't think it looks that bad.
Yeah, it's kinda stylized but they're still recognizable. It's got a weird early 80's vibe to it; all garish colours and blocky shapes.
>I have no desire for a revamp
It's tough to imagine a story/plot/gag they HAVEN'T done already.
>Considering Loonatics, I was expecting much worse.
Loonatics was brilliant compared to Baby Loony Tunes. I'd never seen children's tv advocates protesting for MORE violence in a cartoon before that.
*shudder*

>Were they advocating punching the producers in the gut?
HAW! They SHOULD have....
>I thought it more a 90s approach---kinda reminded me of Ren and Stimpy in how it looked
Sort of. I can see that; but the pic has too much detail and depth of frame for the 90's. The construction is remarkably similar (which IO hadn't noticed before) but the execution is different. (Thinner lines, more detail.)

Daffy just looks like super-clean weird version of Daffy, but Bugs looks insane to me. Purple with Manga feet and small ears, blah! Reminds me of all the strange artwork that started popping up on the covers of the Golden Age Collection DVDs. What was the deal with that?!
Maybe I'm just a curmudgeon, but this promo shot just makes me thing that WB lost all the original model sheets and handed the art duties off to first year animation students.Comment

Ha - well you've got a good point there.
I think WB was on the right track with Animaniacs. Also "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" is unbelievably good to me. If I can say anything nice about "Space Jam" it's that I think they had Bugs' character on the right track. Unbelievable as it sounds, "Space Jam" is like a classic Disney film compared to "Back In Action".Comment
