I agree. What if they made a Pepé Le Pew movie? That guy was a friggin rapist! They would probably change that too. He was great. I think im gonna go watch some Looney tunes episodes now.

Didn't know that! I remember Mel Blanc also voiced the Frito Bandito as well. The song was sung to the tune of "Cielito Lindo" (Aye aye aye aye, I am the Frito Bandito). Of course, Hispanics were offended by that character & boycott Frito Lay until he was replaced (by WC Fritos; a take off of WC Fields).

Wonder which adversary Speedy will face in the movie? Sylvester or Daffy Duck?

My favorite Speedy/Daffy short was "The Music Mice-Tro" where Speedy & his band audition & drive Hollywood agent Daffy crazy while he's trying to relax @ Balmy Springs resort. The short ended with Daffy driving off while Speedy's band played an ending that sounds like, "I'm a Popeye the Sailor Man! (Toot-toot). Don't believe me, watch & listen for yourself.
