Randomly found this video that sheds a little more light on some of the cameos
And this video from The Roundtable

great this whole movie's gonna be one big show case of washed up warner cartoons that have been run into the ground with shitty reboot after shitty reboot. How fitting the reboot of a relic from a bygone era showcase such a hall of failure.

If you want to desperately make a WB Cinematic Universe wouldn't a Roger Rabbit sequel make more sense since it's a multi-crossover?
I get it, the original Space Jam is also a long ass advertisement film either but how would this crossover even work over a film about Looney Tunes characters playing basketball? Having The Mask playing alongside them? This is something I'd expect from FanFiction.net rather than a blockbuster movie.

It's gonna be a trashfire, I just know it. Everything that could have made this at least a passable nostalgia trip akin to the lego movie or Rodger Rabbit has been completely stripped away. The animation is 3D cgi, there's other franchises beyond looney tunes in this, some of the iconic characters are taken out because they might come off as "problematic," all that's missing is for Lebron James to "take a knee." when the game starts and replace the tune squad logo with a BLM fist.
As I said, if this was being made a decade or even back in 2015 maybe just maybe it might have worked. Before PC cutlure, TDS and virtue signaling had taken over the writer's rooms of Hollywood studios the way it has now.

They tried to set up their last Scooby movie as a cinematic universe for HB characters despite kids these days not knowing what Hanna-Barbera even is since channels like Cartoon Network stopped airing them and kept them locked up on Boomerang, and only recently have they started rediscovering that shit via streaming, but even then that's only a select handful. Now they wanna go all out and shove as many IPs as possible into a fucking Space Jam sequel of all things as a set up for a Ready Player One-like crossover event which makes fuck all sense and just comes off as incredibly forced. Mark my words this shit will just be one long ass advertisement for HBO Max. Only good animated mass crossover films were Roger Rabbit and the first Wreck it Ralph (the second was fucking garbage and an advertisement for websites and a Disney blog) and that was only because it focused around a set of original characters and story that only had the crossover elements as filler.

The Scoob movie was one of the dumbest approaches they could have done, because of exactly the reasons you listed. Scooby Doo was one of like maybe two HB IPs that people know about due to their made for tv movie spam and tv shows. No child or even some adults now know who the fuck Blue Falcon, Dynomutt, Speed Buggy, or Dick Dastardly are. Only people in their late 20s AT BEST BY THE WAY know them well enough to mean anything.
I feel like movies like this are just a way to forcibly revive those dead IPs so they can desperately spam them to shit and wonder why no one cares. It's only using IPs people know to forcibly revive those ones.

Besides Who Framed Roger Rabbit, the only other title I know of that used forgotten IPs in a meaningful way and brought awareness back to these older characters was Epic Mickey. No one who wasn't already studying/in the know of animation history knew who Oswald the Lucky Rabbit was, but Disney, in a rare heartwarming move, wanted to bring back their founder's creation from being lost to time. They bought (back) the rights, and then a few years later a video game was built on the concept of forgotten toons jealous of Mickey's fame. It was fucking brilliant, and Oswald gained new life, even if it may have been temporary.
But that was probably helped because Bob Iger hadn't yet grown mad with power, or he never cared about what went on at Disney Interactive.
These corporate suits calling the shots for these cinematic universes just don't get it. All they saw was the success of Marvel and wanted to jump in without a plan, and without studying why it was so successful. Even though bringing back older IPs is a neat Easter egg for animation geeks, they feel so much more gimmicky here than they have ever been in days of old. And to use them as a springboard in a futile attempt to set up a cinematic universe is just sad and disrespectful to Hanna and Barbera's vision. But because they're dead, who cares amirite.

Can't believe we lost out on a decent looking Wacky Races for that shit. I know it was only going to be part of the intro for the movie, but it sure doesn't seem like it's going to get a sequel now.

While there's a bunch of a warning flags waving proudly, the biggest issue was from the very start. Lebron James absolutely sucks and has zero likeability.

This episode is very prophetic with how entertainment has become nowadays. All I can do is sit back and make these remarks when they wonder why their new film/show flopped.
And as someone else mentioned, this video still holds true for what we've done to preserve our past

I can't get over the difference in facial features and proportions between OG Lola and NuLola. They made her look like Hillary Clinton in the new one.

Since some of the promotional stuff still show the Looney Tunes as 2d characters, I kinda hope that a good chunk of the film still presents them as hand drawn, and it's not until the big game that they become all cgi.

On the bright side it looks like the cringy /tv/ leaks about the villain team being made up of Leto Joker, Mask, nu-Pennywise and the Wicked Witch were fake.
It looks like the real villains are just another MonStars-esque team made up of a bunch of irl basketball players turned into monsters. One's some big crab man, another a fish dude, a bird dude and a hook nosed snake lady(?).

Soooo is there a reason Bugs looks like he's really concerned or worried about what's going on? Isn't one of his biggest traits is that due to overconfidence and spry nature he's not one to surrender unless he gets one-upped or by his own downfall? Not really feeling Bugs is being Bugs from the promotional images we've been seeing outside of the one poster that still looks really wrong any way you slice it.
