Will the real Looneys please stand up?
Months ago, I heard of a cartoon project called "Loonatics." Basically, the idea behind the cartoon is that the descendants of our beloved Looney Tunes characters are all totally badass superheroes with totally badass superpowers. Sound crazy enough for you? It did to me. What were they thinking? And what kind of super powers do you give to the descendants of the Looney Tunes? Maybe the descendant of Bugs has a slicing razor wit attack with super carrot-chomping abilities? Or Daffy’s heir has the ability to cuss and fume so much that it creates a black hole, sucking up everything? I can see the descendant of Taz having the ability to create a giant hurricane, but the real Taz didn’t need that in order to be cool, now did he? After all, that’s what they want to focus on when they create this stuff right?

Amazing, isn’t it? The characters are all, to put it plainly, evil-looking versions of the greats. I know a classic example of surefire moneymaking is repackage the old and make it new, but this looks like a joke. It looks like some age old Looney Tunes fan cooked this idea up to put on Atomfilms as a joke but it’s not.
Well, it looks like an 11-year-old whiz kid created a website in response to the screwy actions of the WB Animation department. Thomas Adams, a young man who’s still in the age group that this crap is aimed at, got pissed off enough to create a website called “Save Our Looney Tunes.” This kid thinks that the show could use an overhaul. Personally, I would have said “screw it altogether,” but since it’s too late in the game, I think I’ll have to take sides with this kid.
And then today, I saw this:
“In response to the large outcry against the futuristic show, the main characters in Loonatics have been changed by Warner Brothers. This announcement comes nearly two months after 11-year-old Thomas Adams began an online petition to "save" the Looney Tunes, which he felt had been converted into "scary" characters. Apparently Save Your Looney Tunes has made a positive effect, as Warner Bros. Entertainment spokesman Scott Rowe stated that the Loonatics have been made "softer" and "less menacing". Rowe also notes that test audiences loved Loonatics, set to debut this fall on Kids' WB!. More info on the matter can be found at The Big Cartoon Database.”
I guess diplomacy does work sometimes. Way to go, Thomas!
