Hopefully this will be better than the previous hybrid Looney Tunes films.

And WB wonders why it's stock is plummeting dispite the fact they just released a movie that's raked in almost 400 mil domestic in less then a month.

You make one good one that doesn't mean you have free ground to make 50 crappy ones.

This "makes me very very angry!":lol:

All I can say is F Yeah!!! Finally they have something to do with the Looney Tunes that doesn't involve stealing the structure of Muppet babies, or turning them in to what some out of touch 50 year old thinks is anime. It's about time we had another decent sounding LT project.

it doesn't sound great... but compaired to the absolute trash we've been getting, it's freaking gold.

Anyway, I thought LT Back In Action was good (dispite the fact the *&^% studio forced them to leave out a cameo by Yakko Wakko and Dot... they were supposed to crash out of the water tower when it got knocked over), and better than Space Jam. And Space Jam is a movie that I always hate until I see it again.

LT could have done much better, but that horrible Elf movie killed it. At that point of the year, people will rush to a Christmas movie no matter how terrible it was. And had LT BIA been a success (or at least played in theaters for over a month) they were planning a series of new Daffy Duck cartoons, bringing back his classic crazy idiot personality (as opposed to the jealous former star that he became when Chuck Jones took over).

As long as they don't screw it up too bad....

I didn't think LT BiA was that bad. I thought Bugs made a good point, cartoons don't do the anvil dropping anymore and it's sad lol. Drtooth, do you have more detail about Yakko Wakko and Dot? I had not heard that, and I'm a big Animaniacs fanatic. They are great, and one of the last great cartoons that was made (that whole 90's era is what I'm talking about). Whyd the studio nix the idea of the Warners?

Don't forget... the Warners were made by a partnership with Amblin. So, clearly the studio didn't want to try to work anything out, so it was cut from the script. However, on the opposite side of things, the studio forced them to write the bit about Scooby Doo as an advertisement for the Scooby 2 movie.

Marvin the Martian is one of my favorite and most underused animated characters. If it gets the same treatment and attention as the "Duck Dodgers" TV series, it's gonna be a winner.

Wanna know what's ironic?

Marvin didn't really become popular until the 90's (same thing with Taz)...

He was only in about 5 cartoons of the original LT series.... and I don't know if that counts to TV made short featured in Bugs Bunny's Busting out all over (a 1980's Tv special).

Marvin has always been one of my favs. I've got a yellow tie with a bunch of Marvins on it.
