Coyota (Suuuper-genius), and the Road Runner. She wasn't even around until 1996 in the movie Space Jam. Even then, I remember all the talk about how she was a great character who could give Bugs a run for his money. As though she had been around for 50 years and no one remembers the cartoons.But, back to the real topic: I don't like when the powers-that-be "re-imagine" classic characters. It reeks of a marketing ploy to cash in on whatever is trendy (like the rastafarian/hip-hop Looney Toons depictions for t-shirts). It sickens me when people get paid good money to mess around with iconic characters instead of using their imagination to create NEW ones. What worse is that there are talented people out there, trying to make a living with original ideas, but can't because the marketing gurus think a "re-imagined" old idea is better than a fresh, new one.But, that's just my opinion, I could be wrong (with apologies to Dennis Miller).JediSoth</blockquote>
