The way it emulates the original style of animation is incredible. I'm so glad it's none of that hyper stylized flash looking garbage that's been so popular in animation revivals in recent years.
It looks good, but the lack of build up is jarring. Really hope some of these upcoming cartoons are longer than a minute and a half.

I read this was made by the dude who made the Uncle Grandpa show.

WB had a popular Looney Toons revival before the new Disney stuff started.
As with anything on Cartoon Network, management didn't care.
The Looney Toons show was....Not my jam.
But yeah, anything hosted on CN but not coming from their internal studios are destined to die on the vine no matter how good they are. RIP Sonic Boom.
I'll wait until more come out to hold judgement, and as much as I want to absolutely love the new Disney ones, I'm glad this has more of a traditional animation look to it. I don't really like that popout Flash look that Disney has going right now for Mickey cartoons. I really do like them though!
I'm glad they're trying to emulate the Bob Clampett shorts instead of just trying painfully hard to copy Chuck Jones like so many times before.
And the nice thing is that we'll get to see wacky Daffy in action again instead of the egotistical patsy version.

In a way, it's true to the original, but this doesn't really work as a stand-alone. Maybe as a denouement to a longer piece, but part of what makes Looney Tunes work is the build-up to gags, the periods of silence and camera-mugging. Those CG Coyote and Road Runner cartoons were much better evocations of the form.

I think this is supposed to be a trailer. After the segment it says "Looney Tunes cartoons coming soon."
They announced this project like 2-3 years ago if I remember correctly.
So happy to finally see some of this, god I love Looney Tunes. Great first look. I'm ecstatically waiting for the other 999 minutes.
WHAT SIN IS THIS!?
Can anime fans even handle that amount of animation?All those frames.
Without Mel Blanc, I just can't. I could never get past the way the newer voice actors always just sound so off to me. It's way too distracting for me to ever enjoy the newer stuff.
That was great. It's interesting that WB and disney are taking two completely opposite approaches with their classic characters. While Disney seems content on making everything look like 2 Stupid Dogs, WB seems to be saying, "fuck it, let's just go back to the 1940s". Good on ya, WB.

I'm SO sad this show only had 2 seasons. Bring it back! It was GREAT. The "Wabbit" show they had afterwards was much worse. Putting these characters into a sitcom like setting is just gold.
Judging from the short and the clip they might just avoid having dialogue or just use Mel Blanc recordings like the cgi shorts.
Animation is fantastic, but at a minute the gags were so fast they werent given a moment to land. With them doing 200ish shorts of varying times I hope theres more longer ones and this is more meant as an interstitial or something.
I remember really liking the first half of most Wabbit shorts when they were setting up the premise, and then the second half usually devolved to "big fight scene" for its slapstick which got tiring real fast so I hope these dont go down that route

Its a reference to Chuck Jones' first short with Bugs Bunny

They've announced a cast for these shorts so I imagine that other ones will have dialogue in them.
growing up with
and seeing Looney Tunes mentioned in Mandelaeffect stuff all the time has permanently scrambled it in my head.
It averaged something ridiculous like 3 million viewers an episode throughout it's entire run and yet they cancelled that hit with the quickness.
CN in the early 10's was just littered with awful management.
