Whatever, dude.“I think the legacy is intact,” he said. “If anything, it’s an homage to the legacy instead of a destruction of the legacy.”
This looks great... for me to poop on.

Yeah I saw this on the news today. Veeeeeery weird. I don't like it at all. Why the does everything have to go or look high tech?!Its freaking bugs bunny! Why did Looney tunes have to meet Anime. They look scary almost. I wish cartoons were still what they were when I was growing up....smurfs...rainbow brite..strawberry shortcake..old school transformers and GI Joe..gummy bears..Jem
Those were the days!
That's di able!
Man, I thought the toy/cartoon people ed up when they remade the Transformers a few years ago, but this is just ed up.
The Road Runner looks like ing Woody Woodpecker.
Assholes.
That's awful.
Now thats just going to give in nightmares to the kids. Whats up with these people? damn wait till they roll out the Tweety Bird looking like a murderous creature from a stephen King film.
Ephraim the Re ed Rabbit, anyone?
They are better than baby looneytoons
I Like Em
Who are they tryin to kid? Nobody is gonna watch this crap.
Bugs was the when I was growin up. I'll make damn sure my kids are raised on the good ol' school stuff. Not this "year 2099" .
They constantly change the to sell more action figures and other merchandise.
I have a friend with a 5 YO, and he now hates the Power Rangers because they constantly evolve, and his kid wants the new and it's expensive.
I hate the idea, but it's going to work. They're not targeting the people who remember the old Bugs'. They're going sleek, because that's what kids will like. It's basically a new character for them .
Just what we need, another rabbit with sharp ears! those hurt!! I went hunting last weekend and I bagged me one of those sharp eared mother ers! They better give elmer fudd some kinda futuristic hunting weapon like the damn predator if he wants to bag himself one of them sharp eared bas s!
What's wrong with it? It's not Loony Toons... it's a whole different show. They've done it before successfully with Tiny Toons, and other shows have had solid spinoffs (for instance Muppet Babies or the anime spinoff of Ninja Turtles which was freaking awesome). I still love watching the Merry Melodies toons and it'll be hard to damn near impossible to duplicate the quality of those originals, but I think it would be even worse to use the same characters in the same storylines and pass it off as the same thing as the classics. If you disagree with me there watch how badly made the new Mickey Mouse cartoons that appear on ABC Saturday mornings are. They're a total disgrace in posing as the same characters and environments from the Disney classics of the 40s and 50s.
Another thing to think about... if Merry Melodies weren't considered classics there's no way they'd ever make it on childrens tv in the US now. I know the popular perception is that shows are way more risque now, but this show in particular did a lot of things that would never fly now. I remember seeing one episode where Bugs was playing the piano in an auditorium and one guy won't shut-up so Bugs pulls out a shotgun and blows his ing brains out. Tell me that wouldn't mobilize the soccer moms and fill the networks with complaint after complaint if it was a new show that these overprotective parents didn't watch themselves growing up. Do you think childrens cartoons could make light of getting drunk and stumbling around the neighborhood like an idiot now? That was one of the most frequent themes on Merry Melodies cartoons. How about how every maid was black or how black men were protrayed as slow, stupid guys who were quick to fight? No ing way that flies in today's market.
You can't go back to what that show was. Different era, different animation style, etc. Even if they could get the voices and animation down the same they could never make episodes true to the originals because the 2000s are so different from the 1940s. Could you imagine the problems if they created propaganda cartoons about Iraqis or Afghans like they did with the Germans?
You can't go back and I find it ridiculous that everyone wants to criticize a fresh new idea because it steps away from the norm. I mean, don't you guys hate it when a musician puts out record after record that each sound like the one before it? I prefer musicians who put out something new and unexpected every new release. Why is it any different in television?
Anyways, I think it's a fresh idea and it definitely has potential to become an interesting cartoon.

I see nothing wrong with a new perspective. If you like the old school Looney Tunes you can still enjoy that to your heart's content.
I have hated just about any and all remakes of classic cartoons and TV shows.
Transformers - suck
What ever this is - suck
Power Rangers - always sucked
I wonder who the they can get to wear those costumes at Six Flags Astroworld.
Here's a though, maybe they all suck because you're not 10 anymore?
All I can say that Mel Blanc was a genius. Bug Bunny was never the same after he died.
Neither was this guy:
Uh, no it's because they suck.
cartoons = , old or new. simple as that
This is bull , why are they changing them? I would stay with classic cartoons...you guys notice that all the old cartoons kick ing ass like bugs bunny, popeye the sailor man, ben and jerry, etc.
No one will watch these ugly pieces of . Todays cartoons suck major ass.
Family Guy, Simpsons, Cowboy Bebop, Futurama, etc. suck? You're trippin man.
