New Looney Tunes series -

[TopCat]

So, the trailer has just dropped for a brand new series of Looney Tunes cartoons, which look pretty faithful to the original series and appear to have been animated in a traditional hand drawn style. They will be available on the HBO Max streaming service, from May 27th.

Hopefully, if successful it might bring the characters back into the public consciousness a bit, following a few years of dormancy.

Trailer:

Really glad they didn’t go with the lazy, cheap animated style reboots tend to have nowadays.

This looks pretty entertaining. I can't wait for it. The animation looks fucking great, jokes are pretty funny, character designs are great, this looks like it could be kino.

My only issue is Yosemite Sam's and Bugs' voice. Yosemite Sam is not shrill enough and Bugs is a little shrill (although it does sound like 1941 Bugs, so that's pretty good).

The art was a litle meh, but I actually smiled when I watched this. I'll give it a try.

I have mixed feelings about this

On one hand, the animation is better than Wabbit. On the other hand, dat voice acting Tweety and Daffy just sound like a higher pitched Bugs Bunny... like the same guy is doing all the voices or something.

In a Looney Toons cartoon? No way!

Let me clarify, smartass

Compared to the older cartoons where if you heard both Bugs and Daffy talking, you could tell that they were two completely different characters just by their voice. The way they spoke, they way they acted, how they yelled and screamed. I didn't get this feeling at all when watching the trailer, in fact what i got was "oh hey, let's just turn the pitch settings up a bit, and just give one character a silly spit/slobbering voice! Cool, break time!"

It reminds me of Ren & Stimpy's Adult Party Cartoon in which Eric Bauza, as much as he tried, didn't do so hot with the voice acting between Stimpy and the announcer guy at the end of the "Altruists" episode. The latter just sounded like Stimpy doing a Pee-Wee herman impression.

That animation was horrible. Unpopular opinion, but this looks similar to Wabbit. Too much of a stretch and pull animation.

The voices will take some getting used to.

Why HBO? I thought they were owned by WB.

Somebody's gonna get maced for those gloves.

Too late, you're already a certified Boomer. The internet has spoken.

Somebody's gonna get maced for those gloves.

Dammit I was going to put that.

I won't lie that actually got a chuckle out of me. hope it does well.

 

[The Last Stand]

They'll never recapture the charm of Duck Dodgers and the Golden Age of Looney Tunes.

Baby Looney Tunes was underrated.

 

[Princess Peaches]

It looks interesting. Wonder what the animation would be like if it was hand drawn. Might look more authentic that way.

The coloring is a bit weird but it looks nice and unlike a lot of modern shows has actual backgrounds and sharp angles.

 

[BlueSpark]

The writing looks awful: unfunny meta humour (hey, isn't it funny that they aren't wearing clothes XD) and shitty modern culture references that aren't in any way intelligent or even jokes at all. Like how is Bugs Bunny saying he loves streaming videos clever or funny, it's just him stating something and mentioning modern technology.

 

[WarJams]

I don't know if it will give us something as awesome as The Wizard, but a man can dream.

 

[Archeops]

Eh... I’ll see how it looks when we get some actual shorts. I don’t have think this’ll justify getting an HBO Max sub though.

Why HBO? I thought they were owned by WB.

HBO and WB are both owned by WarnerMedia.
