If some of you are not aware, there is a new Looney Tunes cartoon coming soon. It's called The Looney Tunes Show, and the only thing that the new show has in common with the classic cartoon shorts is the name.
Here is the abomination of some of the most memorable and classic cartoon characters of all time.
I won't comment on the voices because they're not Mel Blanc. Besides that, the designs are just awful and made me nauseous. I know that the Looney Tunes characters' designs have changed over the years many times. But there came a point when the designs weren't just perfect but they became iconic. That time period was obviously during the 1940s - 1960s. Here is an image showing Bugs Bunny design progression throughout the years. Notice the last three. Relatively the same design, just slight changes.
My second complaint is that the clips Cartoon Network is releasing, are not funny. If these clips are the supposed to promote the show, then I have low expectations for it's survival. It's a major disgrace to the legacy of Chuck Jones and to all the animators and artists who worked on the classic cartoon shorts if the new show is not funny. Looney Tunes is wild and spontaneous. Extremely funny, sarcastic, crazy and wonderful. This show looks like they stripped all that and couldn't find people who couldn't draw the characters well enough.
I strongly suggest everyone to boycott this new "version" of the Looney Tunes and stick to the great shorts. Go to Best Buy, Target, Barnes and Noble or search Amazon and buy The Looney Tunes - Golden Collection. Here's the Amazon.com link:
And to clear your palette from the bad taste left with that horrid version of the Looney Tunes, here is a masterpiece.
