    Default About as well thought out as New Coke...

    NEW YORK - Bugs Bunny and his pals are being updated for the future — way in the future.

    The WB network will take the famed Looney Tunes characters as models for a new children’s series, “Loonatics,” that will air on Saturday mornings starting this fall. The characters’ descendants — Buzz Bunny and the like — will be superhero action figures for the cartoon set in the year 2772.








    While googling this lame ass butchery of an Icon, i came across this GREAT toon goofing on the idea.



    It's great! I LMFAO'd.

    Pathetic....perhaps the end of the last pure set of cartoon characters.

    It is kind of annoying to remake them, especially since they had nothing to do with being super heroes. The picture is kind of cute though.

    Eek!! And who on earth is that pink one (second from the right) supposed to be? I'd rather watch freaking Pokemon than that (and that's saying a lot folks).

    Scrappy Doo, a talking Snoopy and those God-awful Muppet Babies, now this. I can hear the Tazmanian Devil protesting his new likeness right now.

    I could be wrong, but i'd guess that it's "Lola Bunny." The Toon they created for Space Jam.

    I am a cartooon fanatic and when I first heard this a few months ago I just about cut my eyes out. It is horrible. If anybody gets the chance to hear the characters speak UGH makes me want to cry. It's bad enough Sat morning cartoon suck to high hell now. The main bunny on this "Loonatics" thing sounds like a cracked out Jack Nicholson type. I hope it was a test voice only.

    Of course...

    You can have mediocre writing unlike the past ones who went as far as to reference current events (at that time.)

    You can sell more "action figures" for the kids to play with during "crime fighting."

    I don't expect these cartoons to be clever, educational, or relevent to today. I expect them to be more yelling, karate, explosions, and cereal ads.

    I thought WB did a nice little job putting in younger versions of the characters, sort of, in the Animaniacs show. This is stupid.

    Speaking of Mel Blanc, after his death, I was wandering through a WB store. I saw a picture that I'm sure most of you have seen. All the characters were head down, sad and mournful, all facing an empty microphone. There was a nameplate for Mel Blanc at the mic.

    The perfect caption: "Speechless."

    I think Speedy was executed by the PC police at least a decade ago.
    "He will come in one of the pre-chosen forms. During the rectification of the Vuldrini, the traveler came as a large and moving Torg! Then, during the third reconciliation of the last of the McKetrick supplicants, they chose a new form for him: that of a giant Slor! Many Shuvs and Zuuls knew what it was to be roasted in the depths of the Slor that day, I can tell you!"
