Looking back at the old WB cartoons, they seemed to be more aimed at mature audiences in terms of animation, humor, comedy, and satire.

No shit, why would a kid give a fuck about Hollywood divas?

Maybe because old WB cartoons was filmed in theaters, wasn't overlooked to be enjoyed only by specific demographic, and could do anything they want as long as they don't break the Hays Code.
Kayden Howard
Maybe you and I should settle it right here on the ring if you think your so tough.

You might have been too much R&M, it isn't that awful dude
What that user said is fact though, not a criticism of the product. Are you ok?

This, TV was for children.

What do you mean by "in terms of animation"?
Lucas Clark
Imagine Family Guy with better animation and timing.
Jaxson Thomas
Children were meant to grow into adults then, not remain in perpetual childhood like theybare today.
So Family Guy, but good?
Brayden Anderson
it would still be the family guy we have.

Yes, Tex Avery admitted in an interview that he didn’t even want to attempt to compete with Walt Disney to appeal to 10 year-olds so he made cartoons he thought would be funny for adults.
Kayden Carter
Adult animation yes
Jackson Brown
It's either adult animation or it isn't. You can't just say it's adult in every aspect but its animation.
Matthew Martin
"Adult animation" has a reputation of being cheap and ugly which doesn't describe the animation in LT/MM at all. It's the same quality as Disney cartoons.
Jace Brown
Something doesn't have to be ugly to be made for adults.
Colton Hill
No shit, OP.
Angel Martinez
In the case of Chuck Jones he definitely took a lot from Disney with his early stuff. Criticism led him to develop a different style.
Disney wasn't all aimed at kids either, otherwise they wouldn't have made shorts about taxes during WWII or getting drafted both starring Donald Duck.
Making animation specifically aimed at kids didn't really start until the TV age. Keep in mind how shorts were usually shown, which was alongside a newsreel and a full film or two.
Mason Miller
The way his sword was cut is somewhat aesthetically unappealing. It would have been better if it was cut further diagonally or if it was originally forged from two long pieces stuck together side by side and then part of one of the long pieces of the sword broke closer to the tip of the sword than where the other long piece of the sword broke.
Kayden Brooks
They were played before live-action movies you absolute brainlet.
Colton Parker
This is an Animaniacs-tier joke.
Carson Rodriguez
"I like it" =/= Mature
Looney Tunes was brazenly immature, crass, and irreverent. It was childish, it was stupid, and it was fucking good.
Matthew Rogers

Aiden Fisher
but they were for mature audiences.

Does anyone know why animation dipped in quality or has it always been this bad?
Cameron Edwards
Budgets gradually went down and theatrical shorts died in the early 60s, mainly due to the rise of TV. Compare a MM/LT short from the 40s or early 50s to one from the 60s and you can see a pretty drastic decline in animation quality.
