Bugs Bunny died

If you start it, I’ll join it.

Now I’m glad I didn’t watch Looney Toons. No sorrow or hatred, wooh!

Awful and extremely depressing.

I love how the promotion trailer is footage of The Batman with the new characters inserted into it.

Tis a sad day in LooneyToon land

This makes me a sad panda. :frowning:

(I hope no one else has used that line yet in this topic, but someone probably has.)

Funky

We’re precisely having a discussion about this over in the Oddball Comics board. I point this out because that site is frequented by Classic Animation insiders: Scott Shaw! worked on The Flintstones, Buzz Dixon on GI JOE, etc. so you might want to hear their opinions.

Oh, and that Sijo guy? It’s ME! ^_~

Silly Rabbit…Trix are for kids!!! wait…wrong rabbit…

This statement is FAR more asinine than the concept of the Loonatics show. It’s like, when people reach a certain age, they’re pressured to think cartoons are for babies, but anime is awesome, and rather than accept that anime is just an all-purpose word Americans use for cartoons FROM Japan, they come up with the ridiculous notion that Anime must not be cartoons at all. (In Japan, anime is a term that’s used for animation in general… not just animation from Japan).

Anyway, I honestly don’t think this show is that big of a deal. It’s not “replacing” Looney Toons or anything. It’s just a spin-off (albeit one with different character models). I mean, did people riot when Chip 'n Dale became detectives? Were the streets bathed with blood when various characters from “The Jungle Book” began flying airplanes? And don’t get me started on Baby Looney Toons…

This cartoon looks bad, but cartoon companies have been making shitty spin-offs for years and years. It’s not like this is the first one.

Sight…unblurring, strength…returning, ok. I guess that has some sense in it. Then of course there’s Duck Sodgers…

EDIT: My post double posted the same thing.

The agony. :frowning:

I hated Chip 'n Dale with passion, but the streets should have been bathed in blood over the other two.

I hope Marvin blows up the earth soon.

Seeing as how I don’t get WB, guess I won’t be tuning in to watch.

Don’t forget Duck Tales or Quack Pack. Or even Muppet Babies (sorta). This show will probably suck, but there seems to be too big of a deal being made. It’s not like every single Looney Toons cartoon is now going to be replace with Buzz (notice the difference between Bugs and Buzz) Bunny and whatever shitty names the other characters will have.

Which one was Quack Pack?

I didn’t forget about them. I could have named dozens of examples of cartoon spin-offs, if I wanted to (I was thinking about listing every Flintstones spin-off ever made, but that would have taken a while…).

Also, Duck Tales is actually based off of Carl Barks’ work, not really the Disney cartoons. He was the comic book artist that made the Donald Duck comics (and other “Duckburg” comics, like Uncle Scrooge, etc.) from the 40s-60s, as well as the inventor of Scrooge McDuck and most of the Duck Tales characters (with the exceptions of Donald and his nephews) and the whole Duckburg universe.

EDIT: Quack Pack was the one where Huey, Dewey and Louie are teenagers, and it has Donald, of course, and Daisy was like a reporter or something. o_O

Hey I liked Quack Pack and Ducktales. :open_mouth: Especially Ducktales. My parents taped the whole Ducktales show when I was little, we still have like 10 or 20 tapes lieing around in Germany. Awesome.
I never really liked the Looney tunes (I always hoped that roadrunner would get eaten ONE day, lol) but THIS is ridiculous. oO; Seriously, wtf.

EXACTLY. I used to read the Carl Barks comics as a kid (IN REPRINTS- I’m old, but not THAT old! :slight_smile: ) and those were without doubt, among the FINEST funny-animal comics ever- because, in addition to being fun, they were ADVENTURES- Uncle Scrooge and the rest would just as likely be hanging for their lives in an ancient mayan dungeon as be dealing with Donald’s latest snafu. In fact, it was these comics that made me realize that cartoons and comics could be about more than just silliness. From there I moved to superheroes (Viva SuperGoof! :stuck_out_tongue: ) and I’ve been an adventure-fantasy fan ever since.

When they announced the Ducktales cartoons, I was afraid it would ruin the classic Barks stuff. Thankfully, it captured its spirit perfectly (Except Donald was replaced with Launchpad MacQuack, apparently so people wouldn’t think of this as another Donald toon (Donald DID have some guest appearances, tho) and became one of the best American TV Cartoons ever. Oh, and it spawned Darkwing Duck, too! I AM THE TERROR… THAT FLAPS IN THE NIGHT! Chortle ^^

So anyway, while I don’t think I’ll like Loonatics, I WILL give them a chance, because I learned a LONG time ago, not to judge from first impressions. Far worse-looking stuff has ended up being quite good (see my Abenobashi thread in the Anime forum for an example.)
