Talk about extreme makeovers. Take a look at what's happening to Daffy and Bugs.Source: Denver PostHoping to breathe new life into its animated Looney Tunes franchise and prop up the WB television network's slumping Kids' WB line-up, Time Warner Inc.'s Warner Bros. is planning to launch a new cartoon series this fall based on "re-imagined" versions of Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Tasmanian Devil, Lola Bunny, Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote.
Warner Bros. has created angular, slightly menacing-looking versions of the classic Looney Tunes characters for its new series, dubbed "Loonatics" and set in the year 2772.
I was a fan of Looney Toons when I was a kid, and I still enjoy turning on Cartoon Network to see them now. I think that Warner is just trying to cash in on the Anime craze.
I will wait to pass judgement to see official images of these new "angular, slightly menacing-looking" Loonatics. I hope it goes well for the kid market. I think us "old" folks will stick to the good old Looney Toons.

When I first saw this article on toonzone I thought it was a side effect from the medication I am on
due to being ill with strep and bronchitis. Warner Brothers is out of ideas, they can't seem to figure out that too many people stirring the pot has killed this franchise. So we will get a stiff flash animation based cartoon show, that will be the equal to Disney's The Mighty Ducks cartoon series .

What I was going to say is: For crying out loud. Do I really need to keep hand feeding this stuff to you? There is thing thing, Al Gore invented it, its called the Internet. On this Internet there is a search engine called Google. Please, PLEASE use it. They built it to be used.
