WB had a popular Looney Toons revival before the new Disney stuff started.
As with anything on Cartoon Network, management didn't care.
a generation of kids growing up with Babs and Buster Bunny(and to a lesser extent Roger Rabbit)
I'm willing to bet it goes a bit further back than that.growing up with
and seeing Looney Tunes mentioned in Mandelaeffect stuff all the time has permanently scrambled it in my head.
lol, surely not. Did you mean to write 100?This is the first of a new series of shorts, which they're making 1000+ minutes worth of and will vary from one to six minutes. This being one of the shorter ones it seems. Really impressed by the animation in this!
The usage of the word "toon" was popularized by Roger Rabbit, but I figure most people referring to the Looney Tunes as "Looney Toons" picked it up from Tiny Toon Adventures, as that directly ties to the Warner characters and more or less takes place in the same universe. Also doesn't help that the Tiny Toons are very close in model to the Looney Tunes characters, and that the show uses rings for its logo in a similar manner to the Looney Tunes.
I think this is supposed to be a trailer. After the segment it says "Looney Tunes cartoons coming soon."
I dunno, I always thought Wabbit was way better than The Looney Tunes Show. See, TLTS basically felt like a sitcom in fursuits. It was mostly the characters just kind of talking snarkily to each other, not much in the way of actual slapstick. I guess if you're into snappy dialogue there's something there, but... yeah, Wabbit actually had a sense of physical comedy.

WB listen to this man!!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.
are you freaking kidding me? all this time it actually did WELL and somehow it got canned???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.
This is like the antithesis to the new Mickey mouse cartoons. Where as the Mickey ones are trying to be very modern and irreverent, these look to be aiming about as traditional as possible.WB got shook from those super super good new Mickey Mouse cartoons huh?
Feels like old Looney Toons though.
Nope
Warner Bros.

With multiple artists employing a visual style that will resonate with fans, each "season" will produce 1,000 minutes of all-new Looney Tunes animation that will be distributed across multiple platforms – including digital, mobile and broadcast.

Looney Tunes is probably the most misspelled franchise name. It probably should be stated that the title Looney Tunes is a parody of Walt Disney's Silly Symphonies (which the series itself was technically Silly Symphony, but in plural was called Silly Symphonies).The usage of the word "toon" was popularized by Roger Rabbit, but I figure most people referring to the Looney Tunes as "Looney Toons" picked it up from Tiny Toon Adventures, as that directly ties to the Warner characters and more or less takes place in the same universe. Also doesn't help that the Tiny Toons are very close in model to the Looney Tunes characters, and that the show uses rings for its logo in a similar manner to the Looney Tunes.
not even really sure when referring to the characters as "Looney Tunes" even started, as Looney Tunes was merely one series in the WB animated catalog(the other being of course Merrie Melodies). Some characters, like Bugs, Porky, and Elmer originally debuted in the Merrie Melodies series. I think referring to the overall franchise as "Looney Tunes" started in the 80s somewhere, certainly in the late 80s we had things like "Looney Tunes on Nickelodeon".
This is very true.This is like the antithesis to the new Mickey mouse cartoons. Where as the Mickey ones are trying to be very modern and irreverent, these look to be aiming about as traditional as possible.
They've announced a voice cast for these shorts, so yeah I imagine there'll be shorts with dialogue as well.
I would legit argue this show was the greatest looney tunes content ever released
Didn't he always cause Elmer's plans to backfire instead of actively harming him though?
Duck season!!!

Admittedly it's been a long time since I saw looney tunes shorts, so I might not remember correctly
BrehThat was good but I hope some of these have some type of story to them.
There was a crew t-shirt that had both of them in it so yea, there'll be new ones.Will there be any new Road Runner and Coyote shorts? I don't care how old I get, those cartoons are always catnip for the humor portion of my brain.
