Western Animation - Discuss American, Canadian, and European cartoons here (or just bitch about wokeshit, I guess)

[Papa stink]

Episode is called Eligible Bachelors.

I would watch it in the background after highschool and I didn't like it much at all at first, but as you said it did eventually become good. The first half kind of sucked and then you got stuff like the WW2 Granny flashback and this music video of Daffy.

The episode where Daffy becomes a member of MARSOC and saves Bugs from an Albanian prison will always live rent free in my mind.

......HOW?!

Something something no sadder words of tongue or pen "John K. was right again.".
I'll admit that I'm shocked too but John's blog was constantly bringing up how they made (good) old cartoons on the cheap.

Sidenote: I wish Warner Bros had a regular ass email so I could confirm whether it's getting an actual fucking release over here (Almost certainly not)
It's all just social media now.

I personally have run into kids who know who the Looney Tunes characters are, or at least are aware of them, I suppose it depends on where you live, but in a lot of the US from what I can tell the characters are just nonexistent in the minds of younger audience goers. I've seen people mention talking about Bugs Bunny or other LT characters to their younger siblings and the youth are confused as to who they are.

Even the makers of The Day the Earth Blew Up have mentioned that during test screenings of shorts, children weren't aware of who Daffy was, which can be lain mostly at the feet of the various people who've been running Warner over the years.

The animation style and designs end up being irrelevant once you realize Adi "Apu is racist" Shankar is the main force behind this shit show, I'm 100% sure that pajeet will introduce some retarded changes to the characters that will make Devil May Cry fans angry just like he did with Castlevania.

Apu was better representation for Indians than that street shitter.

Daffy joining the Marines and leading a raid on an Albainian prison to rescue Bugs, who was imprisoned on the suspicion of being a crossdressing spy, where they use actual guns was peak.

you niggers forgot the part of the show where bugs defeated cecil turtle

I think Bugs changing his entire identity to be a badass biker dude because he wore different gloves and Daffy becomes a successful professor straight out of an 80's oscar bait movie because he changed his name to 'Professor Duck' warrants a mention.

Also, recently, HBOMax has removed all of the classic Looney Tunes content - though the Space Jam movies and shows like Tiny Toons Lunavsersity and Sylvester and Tweety Mysteries are still available.

The original shorts are some of the best animations produced in America and they're essentially being kept around via word of mouth at this point.

WB removing the original Looney Tunes from MAX and The Day the Earth Blew Up failing due to poor advertising is the same reaction they had back when Back in Action failed, a Looney Tunes project didn’t meet expectations, therefore there’s no reason to keep the original shorts in circulation.

I think the only reason WB even allowed Ketchup to distribute TDTEBU is so they could “prove a point”, especially to the Coyote vs Acme crowd and then use lack of promotion as an example of kids “not caring about these characters”. Execs are often idiots, and love making self-fulfilling prophecies come true. "See, this movie flopped because kids don't know who these characters are!" after almost aggressively going out of their way to barely market it, if at all.

The day the earth blew up is kino.
The theater would be a lot less empty if the only theaters playing it weren’t IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE

WB is a case of why executives should be people who actually give a shit about the art form they are producing content for rather than cheap suits that are out of touch with the public since WB has had this problem for a long time that bubbled up, and erupted with David Zaslav

This is like if all of Shakespeare's manuscripts were burned because some executive somewhere decided it was time to go back to remakes of Beaumont & Fletcher plays.

Turns out the reason WB removed Looney Tunes is due to low views and wanting to prioritize adult and family shows.

Glad that animation can be removed for streaming optics

 

[Saaivas]

Apparently The Day the Earth Blew Up premiered in my country on January 31st and I had no idea that this movie was even out lmao. Even Ruby Gillman marketing team did a better job. Fuck Warner Bros, all my homies hate Warner Bros.

I know that this has been said over and over again but it's so sad that these corporations killed such a beautiful form of art. 3D animation has good films underneath it's belt, but pixar encouraging everyone to have the same style has it deep-fried. I can't believe there are retards who praise win-or-lose or the live action remakes. The death of visual-art is general sad to see. I hope an indie studio pops up that can compete with these companies that also make 2D films, but I doubt it.

Yeah but I feel that if animation got little attention then, now its going to get even less now.

 

[Trilby]

It's practically dead now, as I see it.

Yeah like it is so clear that Max has bigger priorities than Looney Tunes, such as making trashy reality tv with the Paul Brothers

Why do that if you thought in the future of making a Looney Tunes movie? What kind of boneheaded thinking is that?
