General Looney Tunes / Assorted WB Animation (that isn't DC) Thread.

Well, Kennedy Cartoons closed down in 1997, and given his relationship with Spielberg (who is producing the show once again) and the fact that his studio is mostly known in regards to Tiny Toons as having produced the worst-animated episodes, I'm gonna say it's a long shot that he'll be involved.

If only old Konami or Treasure were still around to make a new Tiny Toon Adventures game, now that the reboot is coming...

It'd be hilarious if they put a brief Kennedy dance just once to mock that old chestnut anyway, especially if they pull an animation shift to hammer the point.

Konami as we know it is dead. LONG LIVE PACHINKONAMI! TINY TOON ADVENTURE PACHINKO MACHINE WHEN! HIT THE LEVER! HIT THE LEVER! HEY WHY ARE MORE PEOPLE DOWNVOTING INSTEAD OF UPVOTING?! DOESN'T MATTER! HIT THE LEVER!

But I digress...

And Treasure hasn't made a game in 6 years. I wish Defenders of the Universe would get an official release...

Here's the trailer for the Tom And Jerry movie.

The Animaniacs did a Trump spoof:

Is this a new show, or just something from the internet?

You can talk about new Animaniacs here.

Thanks!

It looks like Looney Tunes Cartoons will have a holiday special called 24 Carrot Holiday coming December 3.

You know, it would have made for a funnier in-joke if it was Daffy being told "Happy Hanukah", given that Mel Blanc said once he considered Daffy a Jewish character.

Hm. Good point.

Edited by Brandon on Nov 23rd 2020 at 5:51:00 AM

Probably not for the best to go there since one of Daffy's most prominent character traits is how greedy he can get.

Wonder if we can get Wayforward to give the Tiny Toon Adventures NES game the Ducktales treatment?

and Plus, Daffy's a wild duck, and wild duck isn't kosher .

Starting next year, Looney Tunes, as well as Tom & Jerry, and Popeye will be airing on Me TV.

I wonder if they'll be edited.

Very likely, yes. Some of the stuff in those cartoon really would not fly today.

Edited by Redmess on Nov 25th 2020 at 11:31:27 AM

Reruns of Popeye on Me TV probably means Famous Studios episodes and not Fleischer episodes due to censorship, yeah.

Also, Looney Tunes is rather vague, considering there are over a 1000 cartoons in that series. Will it be just the famous/popular stuff, or also more obscure material?

Well hey the Famous Studio Popeye's still get some shockers under the radar:

Not as bad as Fleischer's nigh constant stream of blackface gags.

There's still a lot of unobjectionable Fleischer Popeyes. I assume what we're going to get are the same prints that used to show on CN, cuts and all.

I mostly grew up on the Famous Popeyes anyway. I know that's a downgrade but I did still enjoy them. Better than the big fat stinking nothing we've had for a while at least or even worse, those flash cartoons.

Like, as a huge Popeye fan, I think the earlier Fleischer cartoons are significantly better than the later shorts (though, that said, my favorite Popeye cartoon is a Famous Studios one).

They've just got a lot of stuff that's not fit for television, and rightfully so.

Television cuts that edit out a lot of the objectionable elements already exist for a lot of Looney Tunes, Tom and Jerry, and Popeye cartoons.; they did air on broadcast TV for years, after all. I expect those are the ones that'll get shown.

Edited by Robbery on Nov 25th 2020 at 11:28:20 AM

Like I said, Popeye cartoons in prior reruns largely rerun Famous Studios cartoons. It's probably going to be the same on MeTV.
