WB Toons of the Future...literately!!

[Chun-tzu]

Tiny Toons was fairly different from the original Loony Toons, and at first look it appeared to be nothing more than a rip of Muppet Babies and Disney Babies (or something along those lines; I know there was a Loony Tunes babies show also). Anyway, Tiny Toons was awesome.

Duck Dodgers is also awesome.

I will give this show a chance.

Nnnn....

Not doing so much for me. I'd give it a try, but I've got serious doubts. First and foremost, I hope they don't put them in a super-hero schtick. Part of the flavor of the original is that the characters were always just actors on a stage.

To quote my sister, "This is brimming over with wrongability."

Hmm. Who has the most valid opinion. Some corporate suit or your sister?

I'm going with your sister.

Did I mention that in action this looks EVEN WORSE than it sounds? Gah. Not like I'm a nostalgia freak, either. This is just *wrong*.

The animation on the poster is very Power Puff Girls.

From another board:

The key to the old WB cartoons was not the drawing of the characters, but the comedic timing. Those old guys were raised on Vaudeville, and Bugs & friends were nothing but Vaudeville on the screen. The new cartoon creators have little or no comedic training or talent, it seems.

I may watch some if my kids do, who knows it might not be so bad. Granted I don't have high hopes for it. You just can't mess with the Looney Toons!

 

[Mad Mac]

Ack! That...was...not an inspired move. Look, I'll watch it. I give every cartoon a chance. Duck Dodgers isn't bad. Tazmania was funny, I liked Tiny Toons as a kid, But I'm hugely skeptical.

Mistreating old, beloved characters, just for the name recognition just grates on me. If WB wants to do a comedy action show, fine, Then get off your lazy, supposedly creative arses and create and some NEW freaking characters suited for the role instead of continuing to rip off talent that retired decades ago! Gah! *deep breath*

Sorry about that. This project just rubs me the wrong way, for some reason.

Has anyone else just lost faith in humanity again?

Meh. Lost it years ago. Now I'm waiting for evolution to kick in and make us extinct.

Has anyone else just lost faith in humanity again?

No, I just regained it!*

*My faith in Humanity is Satanism....

Apparently, falling anvils and exploding cigars are no longer enough to keep kids 6 to 11 years old entertained

Sacriledge! Falling anvils are ALWAYS entertaining.
