New Bunnicula cartoon

Whoa! Bunnicula premiers on Saturday! Looks like the eps are 11 min long.

http://www.thefutoncritic.com/news/2...0202cartoon01/

Here's a clip. Bunnicula appears to have the mannerisms and voice of Stitch:

Unhappy

I saw this on Boomerang and enjoyed it for its paranormal aspect and art style but I had never heard about it til recently so I looked it up. Haven't seen the old cartoon and didn't know it was a book series.

It's just such a weird idea. Not the dumb random wacky kind like modern cartoons, it's just weird. Like why? I honestly do not understand the point of it at all. It's not even a pun or spin on vampires. It's literally like they just picked an animal and went with it for no reason.

The cartoon itself was pretty good I just do not see why it's something that even exists.

'Cause "weird" has never been a defining trait of past cartoons, am I right?

Well it's not that. Like Ninja Turtles is weird but it fits with sci-fi and such. I can see the point of Ninja Turtles and pretty much all cartoons in general. I mean you can see what it is they're "going for" even if you don't personally like it.

Here I just don't see it. Let's make a vampire bunny that sucks on vegetables like Dracula. Huh?

I briefly read its wiki page. I thought there was gonna be something to it but it's just a bunny that happens to be a vampire from what I understood.

It's hardly an original concept, this toon. Ever heard of Duckula? It's about a vampire duck who's vegetarian.

I guess he doesn't qualify as African American to cubed because he doesn't say things like "yessa massa", "sup dawg", "yo", "kill whitey" and "shee-it negro!"

Cartoons sure are complicated to figure out.

Bunnicula was a book series. I read them when I was in third grade.

Ya I remember that but with that I can see what they were going for...a spoof of Dracula and pun in the title. Plus he was an anthromorphic duck. So it was like another talking animal character.

Bunnicula is just a pet bunny that happens to be a vampire. That's what I understand from the book summary and cartoon descriptions.

Being a vampires pet that got lost would have been a clever idea. That its owner bite him to live forever but there is nothing behind it if I'm correct...it just is for no other reason.

well I'm just saying. It's a unique character but with no origin.

Thousands? Like who? I mean even aliens have "they're an alien from another planet" going for them as a generic rule of thumb.

This has nothing. I came up with an origin in a matter of minutes.
