Newsflash: If you think "The Batman" is a great show, you are either on drugs or flipping insane.

Loony Toons are'nt action shows, there socially depraved comedies represented by a hoarde of innocent looking, yet mischevous groups of characters that have remained memorable through thier apperances and actions in those shorts, to turn them into THESE...ABORTIONS just reeks of the kind of s*it that we're now getting due to the fact noone can create anything original anymore, so they choose to rape these icons into something that every fan of The Guyver can be proud of, and it F*CKING disgusts me.

What next? Joss Whedon's "Animanaics?"....

Loony Tunes Petition PWNS Buzz F*cking Bunny

From Toonzone

The Internet petition started by 11-year-old Thomas Adams paid back. The thousands of signatures convinced Kids WB to rework on the designs of the characters of their upcoming series Loonatics, which was supposed to feature updated versions of Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, and other Looney Tunes characters fighting crime in a futuristic setup. Scott Rowe, WB spokesman, stated that they're working on making the designs "softer and less menacing".


Whilst this does'nt mean we hav'nt yet got rid of this obvious peice of garbage, at least thier designs have been knocked down to a simpler style, I'm guessing Animaniac levels, which always worked a lot better, but then...we saw what Baby Loony Tunes looked like with the simplistic approach, it was let down by the utterly bad episodes.

No matter how much they alter the style to suit people's preferences, it's the substance that matters

It's not so much the art style Ihated but the approach; a straight-up action cartoon?

No...just make it a comedy with a sci-fi twist like Duck Dodgers and I'll be happy.

Too bad the petition wasn't aimed at dropping the entire f'ing concept of Loonatics.

Even so, you have to wonder about a company who worries when a petition comes in when it was started by an 11 year old.

I honestly don't see what the issue is, Sure it's the looney toons characters as superhereos, It's basically a what if show, What if the looney toons were superhereos, I cant wait to see this, Those people who are bitching and complaining need to stop, What WB is doing, Is not permanently changing the characters, They are just trying some new ideas, I say let them, It's not like this is how the looney toons are gonna look like forever, I'm sure they have other looney tune projects, This being one of them, I think they should just let it go and watch this new series, If they don't like it, They could just turn off the TV.

Fifteen commas. o.O



Anyway, I'm definately not going to watch this ever.. x.X Why does everything good have to end in such horrible ways? I think the only good show I've seen end without being **** on numerous times was Invader Zim.

Yeah, you were probably saying that also with Baby Loony Toons, another "what if" series that sucked

Those people who are bitching and complaining need to stop
Newsflash: an Eleven year old did'nt even like the original designs, complained, and his voice was heard, that person is the exact age of the TARGET AUDIENCE, the majority of which signed that petition

And if you honestly think Loony Tunes hav'nt been s*it ever since Sylvestor and Tweety Mysteries, you really are'nt qualified to know what is or is'nt a good series for these chracters, these are the same hacks who gave us Mucha Lucha.

Duck Dodgers and "Back In Action" are exceptions to the rule, but overall, there has'nt been a decent show with those characters in a long time.

Maybe they ran out of ideas and are trying something new with them, Stuff like this happens, Sometimes it works, Sometimes it doesn't.

First of all.. Zarius.. waht is "Back in Action"? Is it on TV? Is it closed captioned? I'd like to check it out.

Second of all...
I'm not going to participate in this discussion... All I'm going to say.. I perfer the old show because that's a classic.. but i think we should give the show a chance. We can't honestly say what it will be like until we see atleast one episode. Alright? I think we need to stop arguging... some people are eager for this show, some people are opposed to it, based solely on the concept..

Like you said Zarius..

We don't know what the substance is yet.. True, WB has that repuation... but we WON"T KNOW FOR SURE until we see the show. So I think we hsould simply agree to disagree atleast until the show premires...

It's actually the theatrical Loony Tunes movie that was released in 2003 and flopped miserably, even if it was pretty good, and a vast improvment over the "new" Loony Tunes shorts they had produced
