you made a good point by using the words “lack of respect”, they (WB) have shown proper disreguard for Loonet Tunes as a whole, remaking the characters or descendants (which i originally assumed was just a lame excuse eventually tweaked to the show) i mean take a look at Tiny Toons, that was a GOOD example of how they could have re-hashed the series, it wasn’t off the wall, they interacted with the original characters, and it had the original flair of the classics with a steven spieldberg twist, which is great, this whole hip-technology theory is ludicris and typical corporate bigwig talk, it’s not just a re-hash, it’s like messing with the whole idea of the classics, tainting it with this nonsensical “new-age” pish-posh (must keep it clean :p i don’t understand how they would assume kids today couldn’t still be into the classics i mean it’s lasted half a century for a reason, the head of WB himself said on MSNBC “it’s only a cartoon, people just need to lighten up”, if he’s ever seen Looney Tunes he would know it’s more than “just a cartoon”, for him to say it’s “just a cartoon” seems as if he’s dismissing the great work of Chuck Jones and the like, almost shrugging off the significance of the classics, i’m not saying the Loonatics ratings won’t go through the roof but they’re the ones building this philosophy onto kids that everything has to be hip techonolgy whatever, i’m pretty sure kids now would enjoy the original Looney Tunes just as much as they would enjoy Loonatics, personally, as a fan of Looney Tunes and an artist inspired by Chuck Jones, i’m rooting against this series and hopes it runs to the ground teaching WB a lesson, you can’t just mess with something like this, it’s like on the Simpsons where the bigwigs come up with something ridiculous that could only to be seen as a satire, except this is actually happenning, to my favorite cartoons of all time, i am appalled, i think they’re making a huge mistake, it’s been tainted, ruined, i don’t know what else to say..you’ve made good points about the feature films they should stick with the old formula, but with things the way they are and these retards running the business, the future of the good stuff seems mighty bleak, but someday this nincompoopery will come to a close, i still have faith
