You know, that was the first thing I thought when I saw that bloody awful trailer. It's got that stupid anime-esque lazy as-few-frames-as-we-can animation, along with secondhand backdrops from "Batman of the future".fuzzwud said:looks like Bugs Bunny and group got genetically engineered with batman and anime figures.
That's because Animaniacs created totally new characters without trying to ripoff beloved classics. With Tiny Toons you might have a point, though.Twinkie said:Honestly, I don't think this concept is any better or worse than Animaniacs was. And I don't think anyone seriously believes that Animaniacs diluted the original "classic" characters.
CAM said:This is a brilliant idea. While we're at it, let's replace Batman and kill Superman. Oh, they tried that already? It didn't go very well? Hmmm. So, it's not a good idea to mess with cultural icons? And Time Warner owns DC Comics who made these mistakes in the past? Hmmmm.

I'm no comic book guy at all, so I don't knowe anything about when they replaced batman, but in the animated batman series, the batman beyond series was really good I though, as good or better than the first animated series. In fact,t eh worst batman animated series was when they tried to make it look all anime style. Which I guess is kind fo what they've done with the new looney toons.
My point is, you can reinterpret something in an intersesting way, and relaly expand on the original, or you can just end up making crap.
I think the new looney tunes will be the later category. It looks awful. Kind of feels like a "poochy the dog" situation to me. Its mad extreme and in your face, and all that nonsense.

Wow, I think that summed up how this happened pretty much perfectly. WB was looking for a "hip" new action series to leech back viewers from some of the successful stuff that's showing on Cartoon Network, and figured why not just re-hash some old standbys to do it.Mike Teezie said:Boardroom conversation at WB:
Accountant 1: "hey, what do kids like?"
Accountant 2: "Ohhh! I know! Laser vision and martial arts!!"
Lawyer 1: "We should just make Bugs Bunny into a laser vision-ninja."
Lawyer 2: "Excellent idea."
