Looney Tunes has had an identity crisis for the majority of the 2000s and 2010s. Some were decent or really good, and some were forgettable and/or mediocre. However, this version gets close to the original version to a tee!
Looney Tunes Cartoons goes more towards the mid-late 40s and early 50s era of Looney Tunes; which means it focuses more on the early characteristics of each character (Bugs is more of a prankster who isn't always lucky, but still gets the upper hand, Daffy is a wacky screwball, Tweety is more violent, etc) by Bob Clampett and Tex Avery, and brings back some obscure characters such as Petunia Pig, Hubie and Bertie, Beaky Buzzard, and even unexpected ones such as the Gremlin from Falling Hare and the Three Bears!
The animation is super fluid and matches the original shorts the closest. There are moments where it looks rather...stiff (usually the ones by Yowza), but the expressiveness of the animation saves it from looking absolutely awkward. My favorite shorts are the ones done by Tonic DNA: as it looks closest to the smoothness they were aiming for.
As for the violence, instead of lessening the violence for the kiddos, it's actually even more violent than the past incarnations before it (Heck, sometimes even moreso than the original itself). It's comparable to Ren & Stimpy sometimes, but that's not a bad thing in my opinion! I'm glad they kept the cartoon violence extremely high in this one.
The music is also my favorite; it matches the energy of Carl Stalling, Milt Franklin, and on one short, they even do a good job doing the music in Bill Lava's style!
Overall, I like how it's a blast from the past; while still feeling somewhat unique. There's no gimmicks behind this, just the good ol' Tunes! 9/10 for me!
WesternAnimation Very close to the originals. I love it!
