>After a first screening of the world premiere of the episode "Mummy Dummy" at the opening ceremony, and a second, "Wet Cement", public screening on the Pâquier a little later in the evening on Monday 10th June, Looney Tunes Cartoons will be the object of a full Screening Event session! The programme will include: a presentation of the most ambitious Looney Tunes Cartoons created by the Warner Bros. Animation teams. Meet Peter Browngardt (Looney Tunes Cartoons Executive Producer), Alex Kirwan (Looney Tunes Cartoons Production Director), Audrey Diehl (Vice President, Series, Warner Bros. Animation) and Sam Register (President, Warner Bros. Animation and Warner Digital Series) in the Bonlieu Grande salle for 1h30 of exclusive content.

>Looney Tunes Cartoons is a series of new short form cartoons starring the iconic and beloved Looney Tunes characters. 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 Cartoons echoes the high production value and process of the original Looney Tunes theatrical shorts with a cartoonist-driven approach to storytelling. Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig and other marquee Looney Tunes characters will be featured in their classic pairings in simple, gag-driven and visually vibrant stories. Each cartoon will vary from one to six minutes in length and, from the premise on through to the jokes, will be "written" and drawn by the cartoonists allowing their own personality and style to come through in each cartoon.

>Looney Tunes Cartoons is produced by Warner Bros. Animation and features veteran Looney Tunes voice cast members including Eric Bauza, Jeff Bergman and Bob Bergen. Sam Register (Teen Titans Go!) and Peter Browngardt (Uncle Grandpa) serve as executive producers.

>The Looney Tunes are back, and world premiering at the opening ceremony for this year’s Annecy Intl. Animation Festival, in what looks set in all probability to be one of this year’s highest-profile bows at the French animation gathering.

>After teasing the series with an in-progress short at last year’s Warners animation showcase, to riotous laughter and applause, Bugs and his gang return in a fully-finished short ahead of Monday night’s opening feature “Playmobil: The Movie.”

>In addition to Monday’s world premiere, on Wednesday executive producer Peter Browngardt and supervising director Alex Kirwan will present a behind-the-scenes look at the Warner Bros. Animation project including storyboards, animatics and more fully-finished shorts. According to them, the studio already has more than 20 finished shorts, a number which will grow to 200-plus, or 1,000 total minutes of “Looney Tunes Cartoons.”

>Browngardt and Kirwan recently talked with Variety about how the shorts have progressed since last year’s presentation, what to expect at this year’s showcase and shared an as-yet unseen still from one of the now-finished cartoons.

>The cartoon itself feels straight from the ‘30s or ‘40s, apart from its high definition and a few modern buzzwords that organically make their way into the dialogue. It’s a dialogue which, as explained by Browngardt and Kirwan, is only written after animation has started.

>According to Kirwan, the writers’ room is in fact an animators’ room, and the cartoons’ jokes, dialogue and storylines come only after the animators have started writing gags. The narrative spins off from situations which the artists create first as visual gags that strike them as humorous.

>“I feel like that is what made the classic Looney Tunes so fantastic,” confirmed Browngardt. “It wasn’t screenwriters. They were thinking completely visual all the time. I feel like the best cartoon animation comes from that process.”

>In the still we can see one of those gags which will be immediately familiar to any fan of the franchise, as Elmer Fudd chases Bugs, in front of a paint-brushed background, with an large lumber ax, while Bugs skillfully dodges the blows in the lead-up to an inevitable role-reversal.

>“Annecy is going to be a blast,” said Browngardt. “This is my fifth year going and it’s one of the coolest places around. It’s beautiful. They love the art, and you see that every day you’re there. It’s just a wonderful thing.”

>As excited as Browngardt and Kirwan are, after the success of last year’s sneak peek there can be little doubt that that crowds in Annecy will be just as excited to see what Warner Bros. Animation has got in store.

>ANNECY, France — The big new news from Warner Bros. Animation — a short-format revival of the Looney Tunes cartoons franchise — went down, with one short “The Curse of the Monkey Bird” screening to thunderous applause at a sneak peek Monday in Annecy.

>Spoofing an “Indiana Jones” tomb-caper, and shown in animatics, “The Curse of the Monkey Bird” featured Daffy Duck and Porky Pig venturing inside a jungle temple-pyramid, in search of its allegedly cursed treasure. The Annecy audience ate up in particular one inspired sequence where, thanks to Daffy’s ineptitude, Porky is, in just a few seconds: shot by paralyzing arrows, punched by a giant boxing glove, crushed by a mace, blown up and made victim to a trap floor, plunging to a subterranean level where Daffy, unscathed, joins him.

>animation over writing
Yeesh. I know that's how they used to do it but cartoons like that feel tired nowadays. Don't get me wrong the classics are great but every recreation has felt so lifeless and irritating. There's only so many times characters can get hit and slapped around before it gets boring. Maybe they'll nail it, I don't know.

2010 Looney Tunes was the only incarnation that prioritized writing over animation, and it’s why it’s still so memorable to everyone. Unless they pull off some god-tier shit with the animation I doubt it’ll be worth remembering.

tlts is a prime example of good writing salvaging an otherwise mediocre show

Ah, yes, I forgot how verbose and thought provoking the dialogue and storylines of fucking classic Looney Tunes was

I've always preferred a well structured joke to slapstick and The Looney Tunes Show was hilarious. I wish that would have kept that going to be honest.

I also liked Pete Browngardt's Uncle Grandpa so maybe I will like these. I'm just so tired of half assed slapstick cartoons.

I hope they include some politically incorrect humor as well, like jokes about blacks, Mexicans, Muslims, Asians, trannies, etc.

Sure thing this is going to happen.

Fucking idiot.

This thread confuses the hell out of me. A series places importance in visuals over dialogue for once, just like the classic shorts did, and this is somehow bad? Nah dudes I for one am excited. Bet you anything the new Mickey shorts are done the same way and everyone loves those.

Good animation won't save the show if the jokes aren't timed well or are fitting to the target audience's expectations.
But we shall see if the staff nailed it or not.

might be cool
as long as the gags are good and i see at least one anvil dropped on someone's head i'm game

This

What's funny is that since it was first announced, it was called "storyboard driven" from the start and everyone cheered. A difference of wording can really make an impact.

bro do you not remember that short where Wile E. Coyote tries to catch Bugs.

I wouldn't be worried in another situation, but I'm concerned here because I believe the animation staff are mostly being carried over from Wabbit/New Looney Tunes, and those guys couldn't do funny to save their lives.

Yeah this is my concern, honestly. What they're promising about this series is pretty much exactly what they promised about Wabbit. A new series of Looney Tunes shorts in the original timeframe with more slapstick oriented comedy. While I doubt this could ever be as painfully bad as Wabbit was, I can't help but feel a bit of doubt because of it.

Or is it like ?

Comes out June 10, after premiere of playmobil movie. A preview was shown last year.

This project attracts a lot of autism, a combination of WITCHFAG tier autists who only want plot driven cartoons and actual industry shills terrified they’re about to get out skilled out of the field.

It's gonna be full sjw pc

Hit the nail on the head.
Steven Universe was so widely criticized for the fact that it's main draw was the action and story, yet had no writers and was so terribly managed by the story-boarders, that now when an animation is appropriately storyboard-driven because it relies so much on visual comedy as opposed to more nuanced writing and overarching plots, it's apparently a bad thing.

Fucking newfags and e-celebs, always stirring shit one way or another

This reminds me of the forced animation meme on Yea Forums that being anything more than a slideshow presentation is forced animation.

Anyone who unironically complains about Daffy acting like fucking Daffy is retarded. The shit Bob Calmpett and Tex Avery did was so far beyond anything Chuck Jones did with egotist Daffy and the fact that was the version we were stuck with for the next 60+ years is a fucking shame. Perhaps if they had shown the older shorts more often in the early days of television, maybe history would have been a little different.

threadly reminder that smug asshole daffy >>> screwball daffy
>b-but his name!
fair point, but asshole daffy is still a much better comedic foil to most of the main cast

Fuck off with all these words and give me the actual shorts

We have enough comedic foils and in my humble opinion daffy Daffy >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> asshole Daffy. To me, the gags in shit like Rabbit Seasoning or any of the hunting trilogy is incredibly stale and repetitive in comparison to shit like The Great Piggy Bank Robbery, Book Revue, Wise Quacking duck and so on which STILL takes my breath away because of how imaginative and full of life those cartoons are.

It's a bizarre combination of trolls, those actually scared by the prospect of actual animation becoming popular again, actual shills and those autistically purist about everything. Makes sense for a series as hyped as this one

Don't forget that wacky Daffy is pleasantly unpredictable and at times very dark whereas you know exactly what the joke is and how it's going to end before it even happens with asshole Daffy.

You have to wait literally one day lmao calm

Fuck you. I have cancer

>those actually scared by the prospect of actual animation becoming popular again
Why would anyone be scared of that?

because lazy hacks will be out of a job.

And the full autism of the >'Animation Golden Age meme' crowd of armchair animators who think cartoons would be saved if we just went back to dull old slapstick and giving all creative control to the dummies in the animation room.

>getting this defensive
Damn, buddy... take it easy. Get some butthurt cream before it becomes chronic.

>and it’s why it’s still so memorable to everyone.
No one cares about that shitheap. Family Guy with talking animals.

>drawn by the cartoonists allowing their own personality and style to come through in each cartoon.
Yikes. So we're going to see classic characters suffering from multiple personality disorders. Welp, I saw how bad Space Jam was so it can't be any worse than that. I'm going in with an open mind & literally no expectations on this one.

It can't hurt to try it since the other ways are not exactly pumping out kino. Not that I remotely agree or understand your retarded logic.

>Another show where the artists/animators are writers
user, that's a good thing when concerning Looney Tunes.

>WITCHFAG tier autists who only want plot driven cartoons
I don't only want plot-driven cartoons. I want everyone to do their fucking job. If you're a boarder, you should not be writing anything - not story, not even dialogue.

BTW I'm pretty sure the greatest Looney Tunes series of all time, Duck Dodgers, was board-driven. Needless to say, this isn't even going to hold a candle to that show.

>Duck Dodgers
>GOAT Looney Tunes series
user I like the show too but come the fuck on. I could name dozens of individual shorts that are better than the entirety of Duck Dodgers.. If we're strictly talking TV series and not including the theatrical shorts, then I agree it's the best. Also claiming the new shorts wont hold a candle to DD is a dumb thing to say. It has potential to be the second greatest Looney Tunes anything behind OG Looney Tunes, but I am cautiously optimistic and will wait for the results before making claims.

Is Disney about to get dabbed on?

Actually now that I think about it.. Taz-Mania could give DD a run for it's money and Tiny Toons especially could arguably be better than DD (although I wont count it because the actual Looney Tunes are not the main focus and Animaniacs doesn't have them at all)

I wonder if we’ll have any classical music driven animated shorts

Yep. If only the new Mickey shorts had the same budget and care as this..Which is a shame because I actually love those Mickey shorts.

We'll never get something like Carolina in the Morning ever again.

Quick bumperino before I go.

What about the creator. Do you have a problem with the creator doing multiple roles?

Peasant

I mean are you sure? Looney Tunes was a pretty wordy cartoon.

Only thing I’m disappointed in is
>each cartoon will vary from one to six minutes in length
Otherwise looks promising

To be fair, Looney Tunes could have some pretty elaborate puns and dialogue based jokes.

Comes out online a few days after premiere

I don't have a problem with anyone doing multiple roles - if they were trained for them.

If you're both an artist and a writer *by profession*, go nuts. But contrary to popular perception, very few such people actually exist.

>user, that's a good thing when concerning Looney Tunes.

And this after years of shitty Looney Tunes relaunches written by sitcom writers.

Going from sitcom writers to no writers isn't much of an upgrade, user.

In fact, it's barely different.

Cartoonists are writers. Who do you think wrote the classic Looney Tunes films to begin with. If you want further proof this method is sound, just look at the critically-acclaimed new Mickey Mouse cartoons.

>Cartoonists are writers.
No, what the fuck? Cartoonists are ARTISTS, literally by definition. Drawing is a completely different skill from writing, and most people talented in one cannot do the other well at all.

>Another show where the artists/animators are writers
>associating a methodology that has brought results in the past with a negative connotation just because a bunch of incompetent people used it

Don't be retarded, user.

>Yea Forums hates cartoons by animators and would rather have sitcom shit
Where did it all go so wrong?

See you moron
Writer != sitcom writer

crossboarding retards came to watch cartoons and unsurprisingly not only do the have barely an idea of what there talking about but there fucking meme spamming retards as well.

I learned of this when someone made a thread about it here the other day. Yea Forums is so fucking retarded

This. Daffy Daffy is much more versatile and can take on many different roles depending on the story.

I hate to agree with a namefag, but cartoonists and animators managed pretty damn well for decades before studios hired writers for them

>To me, the gags in shit like Rabbit Seasoning or any of the hunting trilogy is incredibly stale and repetitive in comparison to shit like The Great Piggy Bank Robbery, Book Revue, Wise Quacking duck and so on
gonna have to respectfully disagree there. I love the early shorts, too, but stuff like duck amuck and Robin hood Daffy are some of my favorite daffy centric episodes. hopefully we'll get to see both iterations of daffy in these shorts.

>Family Guy with talking animals.
So just Family Guy?

No, they didn't. There's a reason the 2000s were the greatest cartoon era in history - because cartoons finally started to emphasize writing talent, just like anime had already done for decades. (Well, that and they actually looked great too by improving upon the look anime had honed over the years.)

Then it all went south in the 2010s, when cartoon writing became virtually non-existent (and CalArts took over from Flash in destroying the visuals).

I thought that started happening in the 90's with the success of the Simpsons?

I'm talking about real cartoons, not shitty "adult" (immature) sitcoms that happen to be animated.

What about 1980's toy cartoons, aren't those based off a script?

>There's a reason the 2000s were the greatest cartoon era in history
I could have just stopped reading here. There are very good reasons why the Golden Age of Animation (20s-50s) was truly the golden age of animation

>There's a reason the 2000s were the greatest cartoon era in history
WITCHfag actually believes this

Attached: .jpg (327x328, 25K)

Merely having any old script isn't the same as writing *talent*. In fact, it's hardly better than the current situation, with no scripts at all.

>There are very good reasons why the Golden Age of Animation (20s-50s) was truly the golden age of animation
There's only one - nostalgia for the "classics".

Objectively those cartoons are overrated as fuck, just like any other era's except the 00s.

>nostalgia
Not because they have better animation and are mostly considered timeless compared to almost anything from the 00's?

We have some details about the Annecy short:

Nah It's fine, I'm excited for this show

They don't have animation anywhere near as good as the best toons of the 2000s, in part because the anime-inspired techniques simply didn't exist yet back then.

As for being considered timeless, that's the nostalgia thing again. Boomer nostalgia in particular is an unstoppable force.

So like....do you guys think this will actually do well with the target audience? It doesn't really seem like kids give a fuck about Looney Tunes anymore. This really seems like something that will do well with nostalgic adults and then disappear.

I'm not saying it will be good or bad, I'm just thinking that maybe all these statements of how this is going to remake the modern animation industry are awfully optimistic.

Patiently waiting for based Foghorn Leghorn

No, the new generation of artists aren't as well read or well versed in classical music like the Looney Tunes and Disney Animators they look up to.

Do you know who directs "Wet Cement" and “The Curse of the Monkey Bird”?

I agree. These shorts will probably be successful commercially, but I sincerely doubt they'll spark a new "golden age" of animation like so many people in these threads are claiming.

So, basically, everyone from Yea Forums who hates Yea Forums's guts.

I dont think it needs to be either/or. There must be a good way to integrate both skill sets within a studio if its not possible for a single artist/writer to cultivate both skills. Manga does this and the artist/writers are aided by editors. Hell lots of regular novel authors owe a lot to their editors. Maybe that is what is needed.

Get use to it you fucking autist. The character went through so many changes and this is one of them for now. It's not even half bad even though i'd prefer a pale yellow.

Lola and Daffy, they were really funny together in The Looney Tunes Show. Interested to see if they still have good comedic chemistry.

on a lot of board driven shows there's a "story editor" who both writes the outlines that boarders work from and goes over the boarders' dialouge. Directors often revise stuff too: a pretty sizeable chunk of Star vs episodes credit the directors as boarders because said directors redid a bunch of scenes

It's weird and cool how all 4 of these Bugs look different from one another. Even the colors are different.

Forgot to tag too

Yeah. Hell, I'm an autist and I accept the change.

It would. This is why shows like OK KO end up as good as they are, and why older cartoons from the 40s and 50s were as good as they were. Actually funny people who know how to draw funny things doing what they're good at.

>good
You're not doing your argument any favors.

>well read or well versed in classical music
That music wasn't classical back then
It was new music they were literally paid to market. Had nothing to do with any sort of knowledge or schooling, they were given songs and they made funny cartoons to match them

and when Classical Music *did* show up, it was generally in Freleng shorts, rather than being universal to the shorts as a whole

They changed the color to white for a reason, yellow gloves look terrible.

Yeah pretty much, lol.

This short will be 90 years old this year, which may be a reason why they're using that color. It was also the first time he appeared gray.(he was white before this)

80*

The fact they're not using this verson of Bugs is a shame.

The fuck is this

Storyboard driven doesn’t mean there’s no dialogue

plus the original shorts were *essentially* something akin to storyboard driven; basically the director and a gag writer would spitball gags together while the director did the storyboard; it's what inspired the modern board driven approach in the first place

12 oz mouse

So are we not at Annecy getting anything June 10th or will we have to wait?

I imagine they will post the short online not long after it's premiere. Couple hours at the most. Wont be surprised if the short was uploaded to youtube as promotional preview for the rest of the shorts.

Would the Behind the Scenes be uploaded likewise?

I imagine they'd want to. I wonder how long it is.

The reason yellow gloves look bad is because they're the only part of his design with color, other than his pink nose. They look out of place.

It's such a saturated shade of yellow too. It draws far more attention than the neutral white.

We're finally getting actual animation after decades worth of CalArts garbage and these retards are complaining about the color of his fucking gloves

It doesn't ruin anything but it's still a peculiar design change. It's not odd that people notice it right away.

They used a design element from 2 early shorts Bugs was in, it's not new.

Roger Rabbit uses about the same shade of yellow for his gloves in WFRR, which may or may not be based on this design as well.

FUCKING HYPE
When is this dropping? Are we getting a stream?

That's an interesting nod to Bugs's history. How come they didn't keep those? Now his iconic monochrome look is burned into people's brains and attempts to add some color (like in TLTS season 1) to the design end up poorly received.
Roger's color palette looks more busy and balanced so those gloves stick out less. And his fur is white to begin with.

It was done during the time when his design was not set in stone. He's had appearances with no gloves and also white gloves in between and , like pic related which is the debut of his iconic voice. In fact, in "Elmer's Pet Rabbit"() Chuck Jones changed his voice again, which is something they reverted pretty quickly.

there's no fucking way these cartoons are going to be as good as we hope, right, lads? are we hyping them up too much?

Attached: 1484684788519.gif (228x170, 1.86M)

There are some rabid fans here that are hyping it to hell and back, but I do hope it's good.

Will there be an annecy thread as a whole?

The Looney Tunes/Merrie Meldoies shorts weren't released in production order. "Elmer's Pet Rabbit" is the first produced cartoon to feature Bugs Bunny.

Not sure about that, since the production number for "A Wild Hare" is 9617 while "Elmer's Pet Rabbit" is 9769. Wouldn't be surprised if they were produced concurrently though.

They've given us no reason not to be hype. The Daffy Duck WB intro is amazing, the 4 second clip of Bugs and Elmer looks great, the promotional images look incredible with great designs, dynamic poses, beautiful backgrounds, and lots of detail on everything we've seen. The only thing you could nitpick about without coming across as pretentious is the yellow gloves but that's strictly a preference. Yes the Excecutive Producers made shitty shows but they're not the ones storyboarding, animating, or writing the jokes & dialogue. Plus their fans and get what made Looney Tunes good, going as far as to use the best and most overlooked era of Looney Tunes as the the basis of the new shorts including bringing back the best version of Daffy. Yes WB has done mediocre/stupid shit with the characters before and I'll name them right now. Space Jam, Loonatics, Looney Tunes Show (yes I said it but I don't think it's that bad), and Wabbit/New Looney Tunes. Yes they've done dumb shit but WB animation seems to want to put a lot of love, care, and money into these new shorts so they can at least attempt to make these characters special again. The folks over at WB once called Looney Tunes their greatest achievement and this is the company responsible for
Casablanca
The Exorcist
Batman 89
Blazing Saddles
Rebel Without a Cause
The Maltese Falcon
Superman
The Jazz singer
Goodfellas
And thousands of all time great films over the course of a near 100 year history, yet Looney Tunes is what they consider to be their crown jewel.

I'm cautiously optimistic but I do feel they can get it done and do it right. They got the best animators and people who love the franchise so I don't think the hype isn't just for show. They can deliver..Hopefully

Ruocco mentioned on twitter this morning that he also boarded/co-wrote Wet Cement
plus a while back he confirmed that boarders on LTC always work with the same director, unlike on Wabbit/New Looney Tunes, so that means it's also being directed by Gemmill

Ironic that it's Warner Brothers that decided to finally invest in high quality 2D animation while Disney (the great pioneer in animation) opted for that hideous/cheap Paul Rudish route for their Mickey&co cartoons. Shows you just how much Tv animation has gone to shit in general.

>the biggest thing related to animation in 2019 is happening today
>still on the same thread since a day ago and is nowhere near the bump limit.
What the fuck is wrong with Yea Forums

Personally I'm gonna keep my expectations tempered. If this short comes out and is fully hand-drawn, animated on 2s/1s and has no sign of digital shortcuts, that's when I'll get excited for the future.

We had like 1000 comments over 2 seconds of footage that came out
There's noting to talk about until it comes out because of how lacking information is

Looney Tunes isn't relevant anymore. It's relevance in popular culture has pretty much been on an IV since the mid 2000s.

Newfags and shills shiting all over the thread aside, Yea Forums in general has been getting pretty dead these days.
Is the board itself losing traffic?

Maybe if we'd finally get to see any of these damn shorts we could talk about them

Other than Looney Tunes we don't have any exact dates as to when new shit is coming out

Those shorts are fucking auteur cartooning you brainless pleb.

>Looney Tunes isn't relevant anymore
Lmao imagine believing this

Bleeding out, man. Two more years tops.

I like both though

Lorefaggotry has rotted your brain

A threadly reminder that the true kino is screwball daffy who's also a smug egotistical asshole.

>replying to day old bait
stop it user

That's unironically a good thing though
Less shitposters more quality

I like them but lets be honest. The animation is above average at best. I don't blame them because it's a long-term 11 minute TV show as opposed to an ambitioua project with only 200 shorts in total spanning 1-8 minutes long with no status on the future.

why won't they just let it die

Animation wise most of their 2D output is rather average these days. They only really put out 2D animation on TV/YouTube now, which obviously don't have a large budget, but it's still disappointing to see actual Disney 2D animation like the Mickey Mouse shorts, Tangled or Ducktales mostly use tweening still.

Okay someone do the math for me
>200 shorts
>1000 minutes
>1-8 minutes long
How many of them will be the standard 7-8 minute long shorts like the original? I don't want constant minute long nothings.Obviously we don't know but what's a good guess?

Can't say for sure but 1000 minutes/200 shorts = 5 minutes per short on average.

What are the chances of them going all out and giving us a Great Piggybank Robbery 2.0 specifically in terms of animation and vibe alone? I know it sounds overly ambitious but since it's 40's era LT and the fact we got crazy Daffy, what are the odds?

Its usually because of copyright, that's why Man of Steel 2013 was made in the first place.

Also, since each short is 1-8 minutes long, the standard deviation will approximately be (8-1)/4 = 1.75, meaning the shorts will generally be around 3-7 minutes.

so the normal range is from "paul rudish mickey short length" to "classic short length"

I wonder if there's a chance for Rocky and Mugsy to show up. I can't believe that they got only a handful of proper shorts.

People forgot how rarely used some characters were. Marvin was in a whopping 5 classic shorts and so was Taz, who was brought back for a second short only because people sent letters asking for his return.

Even though Taz probably wont be used in these new shorts until a bit later, do you think they'll use the design of the classic shorts with the appropriate colors or will they just use the shitty genericized design they used later with all the shows/movies/games/merchandise? It's astonishing how different he looked at his peak compared to what he became.

It's different animators working on it, so some might try to go for a more classic look like with what we see with Bugs and Elmer in OP's image while others would likely go for modern day designs. Unless there's some mandate specifying that they should use really old designs.

Have they premiered the short yet? It's 3am and I don't what time they are suppose to show it nor do I know how i'm suppose to watch it.

user go to bed lmao we might not even get to see it today

Examples?

they already showed it at annecy (it was the lead in to the Playmobil movie), but who knows when it's publicly released
The panel dedicated to the shorts with the other short hasn't happened yet (but it will soon)

Do we know if WB are going to include these alongside their movies in theaters? I'd love to see theatrical shorts make a comeback.

Just watch his first short from 1954 (Devil May Hare) and compare it to how he looks in Taz-Mania, Space Jam, and Looney Tunes Show.

Haven't seen anyone who went there say anything about this yet. Assuming the phone policy is strict
Who knows when we'll even get a glimpse at the first one

Apparently they showed the short a few days ago too. Looney Tunes Critic aka Ferris Wheelhouse talked about it on his YT channel. He had friends who went and saw it and he said the reaction was overwhelmingly positive with riotous laughter and he didn't hear a single complaint from the people who attended the show including his friends who are essentially animation snobs. Video is like an hour and a half but you can skim through it. He mentions it early on before doing a Q&A.

Is that from the new batch of shorts? I thought it was just one they were showing the one Mummy one? What even is bottom picture?

they're showing the Mummy one before the playmobil movie, and wet cement at a panel dedicated to the shorts

Nvm it's Leiji but give details on top picture.

The bottom is that Daft Punk anime film they released in 2003
Don't know why it's airing at Annecy or why Looney Tunes is airing before it

Holy shit look at the background. The building has that handpainted stylized almost hyper-realistic for lack of a better word look to it you see in old Looney Tunes. That's exciting.

Bump

Is there still no information on when the shorts will be broadcast, or even where?

Warner recently did that with the dc super hero girls short preceding teen titans go to the movies.

Attached: #thelatebatsby.png (1920x1080, 1.34M)

INFORMATION WHEN

So no.

Welp, judging by the time, both shorts have been officially screened. Now we wait for whenever they get publicly released

I at least know what they meant by it, a lot of the dumbasses there were confused but the term does have a meaning, even if the term itself needs to be better named. The new Spongebob episodes have been doing it to seem more lively but it doesn't match the droll writing so it comes off as obnoxious. It's a case by case basis really and I wouldn't expect anyone to support the term "forced animation" because it sounds worse than what it means.

Don’t pretend like Yea Forums is any less retarded, especially when talking about Yea Forums content.

We don't even think of Yea Forums unless someone brings anime up
Yea Forums seethes at us every single moment of their existence. Sucks for them being inferior

>This short will be 90 years old this year, which may be a reason why they're using that color.

I love Hare-um Scare-um. Especially the fact that lost footage from it was found during my lifetime and put back in, so I could actually come back to it and get a new, extra end gag.

Hare-um Scare-um and Elmer's Candid Camera both came earlier, and both were actually copyrighted and announced in the press as featuring Bugs Bunny.
cartoonresearch.com/index.php/how-old-is-bugs-bunny/

The "Happy Rabbit" bullshit is a stupid story Mel Blanc told in the 1970s. Everyone repeats it because lazy.

Daffy is at his best around 1949, in cartoons like The Ducksters, which split the difference between him being wacky and being selfish.

The short will be seen by the public August 30th 2019 when it debuts before Playmobil: The Movie

How old are you, child? How can anybody here not know about Interstella 5555?

>August 30th 2019
Do you have a source?

not that guy, but that exact date is the date that the playmobil movie officially premiers. I'm also curious if he has a source on if the Mummy Dummy short is gonna go before the film's wide release or if he's just making an assumption

So, that's the catch to all of this; we get Looney Tunes shorts but their success is banking on the Playmobil movie.

thank you

I’m not watching playmobil

I don't think all 200 shorts are airing or would get cut short based on something airing before the Playmobil movie
At the same time, I will not be paying $12 to see that just for the Looney Tunes short. I understand if they want to do exclusives to films but some got to be released outside that

>Aww I think she could be fun. She could be a ditsy fangirl type character, like a female Pepe Le Pew but not as creepy.
i am appalled at the state of this board

I'd say rather high if they can pull off the atmosphere.

I think you might be able to get a refund once the short's over.

>Coyote vs ACME
What?

variety.com/2018/film/news/wile-e-coyote-movie-coyote-vs-acme-warner-bros-1202919639/
>Warner Bros. is developing “Coyote Vs. Acme” as a Wile E. Coyote animated movie with “Lego Batman” director Chris McKay on board to produce.

>The sibling team of Jon and Josh Silberman, whose writing and producing credits include “Living Biblically,” “Bordertown,” “Deadbeat,” and “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia,” have been hired by the studio to write the “Coyote Vs. Acme” script.

>Wile E. Coyote is part of Warner’s Looney Tunes characters, which include Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, Elmer Fudd, Yosemite Sam, Foghorn Leghorn, and Marvin the Martian. The dialogue-free Coyote character first appeared in 1949 in “Fast and Furry-ous,” the first of 49 cartoons in which he was never able to catch the Road Runner, despite using complex devices from the fictitious Acme Corporation. The Acme contraptions invariably fail, leaving the Coyote squashed flat or burnt to a crisp.

so basically we waited all this time for this moment just to not see anything? They didn't even go out of their way to at least tell us when it would be available for us to see.

Everyone inside Warner knows these cartoons should be made available for free—just like the new Mickey shorts.
But a small clutch of powerful middle managers insist that they should be relegated to the pay-per-month Boomerang app. No shit.
Where the previous show (New Looney Tunes, regardless of how good or bad it is) has been strangled with updates only every six months, even as other countries are a full season ahead of us.
Warner will literally enslave this entire rollout to the whims of a single minimum wage Boomerang employee who personally likes Yo Yogi more, so prefers to release that this month.

>But a small clutch of powerful middle managers insist that they should be relegated to the pay-per-month Boomerang app
Source? They are spending a shit ton so I think they'd do more with it then the Boomerang app and they will be in theaters
Either way, if that happens it'll be pirated so it won't fuck us watching it, just fucking its popularity

we got that one webm of porfy

Which? All i've seen was the cam rip twitter clip of Daffy fucking with Porky in the Wet Cement cartoon.

that's the one

>Either way, if that happens it'll be pirated so it won't fuck us watching it, just fucking its popularity

This. By entrusting too much to CN/Boomerang, Warner has ineptly choked off the popularity of many of its own most popular properties. It's not even just about art: it doesn't even make sense financially.
Add this to Warner Legal shutting down YouTube circulation of the cartoons themselves in a way that no other studio does (most notably Disney), and you have a corporation that's almost determined to fuck itself over.

Has Looney Tunes Critic guy said anything over the past 24 hours?

Crossing my fingers for this too. There's nothing quite as therapeutic on a sleepless night as watching old theatrical shorts and if these are good enough to join them, so much the better.

If I remember correctly from Toon Heads, it wasn't a write-in campaign so much as Jack Warner himself wondering where the character went.

According to one of the commentaries on the LT BDs one of the executives thought Taz was obnoxious, so the character got shelved for a few years after "Devil May Hare".

Well i'm bored znd disappointed. We got nothing while the frenchies probably had a good time. What's the point of discussing something if we're not given shit to discuss. Would it have killed them to at least give us a date for the world wide release? How about a simple blog talking about the event? I just don't get why it's so one sided without someone keeping us up to date with whats going on with these events and premieres.

At least one of them filmed part of the show. I still don't know where they're even going to show the new stuff when it is released world wide.

RIP thread. It was a good couple of weeks but there was nothing in the end. We could all watch some Hamtaro though.

Looks good, but it's kind of just generic wacky cartoon shit. Hopefully as they make more shorts, the directors are able to find their own creative voices instead of just imitating old Looney Tunes. If out of these 200 shorts we get 1 classic, I'll be content.

Hopefully faggots like you fuck off and we can enjoy Looney Tunes as it’s supposed to be without “update” cancer.

Bugs did the same to Elmer at least once in the classics and Chuck spoiled you

You completely misread my post. I'm not advocating for an "update" at all, I just want the directors to use some creativity instead of copying Jones, Clampett, etc. Creative directors are what made the original shorts great and simply recreating the gags feels empty.

Which director are they aping here?

He just uploaded the video we watched to his channel so he'll likely have a follow up assuming that the episode isn't posted tomorrow or something.

It's not necessarily that they're aping a specific director rather, there it's that there is no originality to be found anywhere in the short. As I said earlier, it's just generic wacky cartoon shit.

This bait is retarded
>characters getting kissed and blushing is something you see in a lot of old cartoons
>Daffy is suppose to be wacky like in MANY of his best shorts
>There also is no LGBTQ properganda.

Definitely Tex

Porky’s always been gay you retard

So you don’t like Looney Tunes. Stop bitching about Looney Tunes for being Looney Tunes.

Guys..The animation is beautiful and the whole look of it is gorgeous. All we need is to see if the humor lands and the dialogue is written well. After that we can officially call it a worthy successor to the original Looney Tunes. Only gripe is so far we've only seen single frame camera angles with no movements or changes at all so i'm hoping the full short has more dynamic angles. Aside from that, i'm no longer cautiously optimistic. I am genuinely excited.

What are some examples of Looney Tunes not using the flat staging on things that don't require not using flat staging (like pic related)?

Looney tunes is good because it isn't generic. If you can't tell what separated the old stuff from this, there's no point in even continuing to argue.

Those goal posts are a movin!

Old Looney Tunes did exactly what we saw in the new short. It always had a lot of tongue-in-cheek corny humor but I wouldn't expect you to know this.

>Old Looney Tunes did exactly what we saw in the new short.
No. Chuck, Bob, Tex and Friz would never do something as boring as what we saw in the clip. There's nothing "tongue and cheek" about it, it's just watered down gags that they would have done in Tiny Toons or Animaniacs.

It's because the classic directors wheere inspired by things other than cartoons (Tex loved stand up comedy, Tashlin was a movie nerd, Bob liked screwball comic strips and abstract art, Chuck liked novels) while it looks like these guys ONLY watch cartoons and nothing else

Bump

>it's just watered down gags that they would have done in Tiny Toons or Animaniacs.
Even Tiny Toons & Animaniacs were (light years) better then this, this is just Wabbit with a bigger budget, and this is coming out of someone who liked Wabbit.

We'll get them eventually, but that doesn't excuse everyone in this thread being such a faggot.
I keep forgetting that this board doesn't actually like animation and just wants to talk about their imaginary characters dating each other.

That Elmer looks kinda crappy and I dunno why.

>people want animation-driven stuff for years
>complain when it’s given to them and beg for more muh serious drama

We should lynch Misha.

Read Also, even the crew behind Tiny Toon & Animaniacs were inspired by things other than cartoons (Toshihiko Masuda loved American super hero comics and kung fu action movies from Hong Kong, Kenji Hachizaki loved sentai (mainly Kamen Rider) and abstract comic art, Hiroyuki Aoyama love photography (He even has a blog for it when he's not Mamoru Hosoda's right hand man), Kazuhide Tomonaga loved car chases, Atsuko Tanaka loved cooking and Hisao Yokobori loved all female J-pop metal bands), it's jest that the people who are doing these new shorts felt like "more of the same, but with more money".

Are those the writers or the animators?

I really hate this board sometimes, faggots like this are why animation is a dying artform.

Eh, I'd prefer they'd go with fat Elmur.

Interesting, since Animaniacs doesn't feel like one to reference Japanese culture.

got a few gripes with the animation. it being digital leads them to sometimes leaving the poses in a really awkward and stiff/lifeless pose. look at porky when daffy is coming out the cement. he's just in the same static pose. it just looks off and awkward. the animation is smooth at least, though it feels like shitty recordings/screenshots actually capture the old school feel more than the clean 1:1 image we saw in the annecy trailer. that felt too digital.. a little fake film grain could've made it pretty good.

my other gripe is with the audio. the soundtrack feels too modern a la animaniacs, as it's digitally recorded. the flutter of analog audio recordings is what added to the charm of the old shorts, so they should've reused old vinyl recordings, or heck, recorded the new soundtracks onto analog tape. though that's just my autism speaking, i would love it as well if they were cell animated.

Sure, and those influences didn't do them any good. They WERE hit-or-miss. Occasionally you'd get stuff like the drunk driving episode, but just as often you'd have Buttons or Buster & Babs focused episodes.

Well, this is still only few seconds of one short. I'm guessing this section was posted to showcase what is consider classic Looney Tunes humor.

Don't let the couple trolls and actual autists get in the way of how many people love this
Really it's funny too, we flat out said people would complain if they included regular skits of the originals like the gay kissing in this and look what happened

Daffy's design a little odd but i'm not entirely sure why. Maybe he's just a tad thin especially in the face area. No I don't mean the bill specifically. I know that became fatter when Chuck Jones took over. What I mean is that he's a bit too thin to even resemble Clampett's Daffy which is okay since you wouldn't want it completely accurate anyway.

Anyway the animation looks expensive and stunning. There is so much fluid movement without using any cheap animation techniques. I knew WB animation could pull it off. Really wanna check out the Mummy Dummy short though. Any news on a release yet? Also i'm glad Eric Bauza gets to be in the center of it all. He's been doing voice over work for almost 2 decades mainly playing secondary characters and here is as the voice of Bugs, Daffy, and lots of other characters. Even though i'm still not sold on his Bugs, I wanna see how much he's improved. He seems like a good guy and i'm happy for his success.

I'm also very excited to get my hands on the inevitable blu rays so I can disect each scene frame by frame. Recently been picking up the platinum collection DVDs which they recently stocked at my local Walmart and i'm having a blast with them.

Tagging this post for suspected Famicom/TMS Fag activity. I'll be monitoring you.

Holy shit, what do you fags want, what was wrong with the clip?

Nothing. Ignore industry shills.

If Famicom hates it it's more reason to love it

Please read for his views on it.
>TLDR: It's ok for what is is, if you hated Wabbit you will hate this.

Based on the clips they really do have a classic feel to them

>Mfw I grew up watching all of the original looney tunes cartoons with my Dad and I come into this thread to see zoomers shitting on it for being too animated and silly

I wonder which director units each boarder is in. Right now all we know is Ruocco is in Gemmill's unit (though I would honstly be surprised if it turned out Chris Allison wasn't in Ryan Kramer's unit, since they're usually together on shows they're both on)

in terms of cartoons
plots are for thots
jokes are for blokes
lore is for whores
gags are for chads

I feel the same. Honestly whichever way works, then more power to you, but why can't there ever be a good coexistence between writers and and animators? This no written visual storytelling is only good for short comedic bouts whereas to tell compelling stories the writing must be up to par. Then you might ask "what's the purpose of it being animated then instead of a novel?", well the main advantage of animation is visualizing impossible things you could only see in your imagination. The combination of both pushes the story and characters to be more real to you because of this competence. I think today we still haven't seen anything in the west being produced that can be described as such. With the same token though if every story is big and complex it would get overwhelming, which is why it's nice that these shorts can coexist.

Do you think we'll learn anything tomorrow when they show the french frogs some behind the scenes stuff?

yeah because that totally didn't get some theatrical cartoons banned from international distribution in the late 1960's and still have them banned to this day

They outnumbered and mattered much more then Tom Rugger, Sherri Stoner, Paul Rugg and Tom Mittion, plus that Ghibli street cred (many of the production staff members worked on Laupta & Porco Rosso for Ghibli before doing Animaniacs).

It wasn't funny. It's overdone gag and not nearly as fucking weird as even the early Looney Tunes/MMs got.

but what about episodes TMS didn't animate

Will we see Bosco

but you're already visualizing it in your imagination when you read a book, animation has no advantage and in fact is much more limiting in that respect. It is however much more accessible.

>bros
what are you doing here

it's not about animation not looking like slideshow, forced animation is when certain scenes have unnecesarilly high production values in contrast to rest of the show, especially when the animation is used for something extremely mundane or pointless

What are you even complaining about.

If Pepe doesn't at least attempt to molest Penelope, I'm giving up on the rest of the cartoons.

>bringing up the "forced animation" meme
Okay you're dumb.

I cannot believe i'm reading something this retarded. I'm glad you're not in charge of anything related to animation because you would be the cancer that kills it.

>who fucking cares about looney tunes?
Are the trolls/shills even trying anymore?

Looney Tunes isn't fucking important to cartoon history, and should be ignored as such.

that's a no

The cartoon is quite literally mindblowing, and the animation is fucking gorgeous.

Stop hating it for being unpopular

>They are as much of Yea Forums as live action capeshit is
no they aren't

This is good but I think it should get its own thread, people in this one got discouraged thinking nothing would be publicly released.

Penelope Pussycat cartoon when?

Attached: jhgfd.jpg (600x666, 94K)

it's being animated at a pair of Canadian studios; TonicDNA and Yowza. Though also it seems that at least some of the storyboard artists are doing the whole "draw in a ton of frames in the storyboard itself to the point where the animatic in some scenes are basically rough animation" approach seen in shows like SU and OK KO also

Literally the same defense given to Tiny Toons and Animaniacs.

>I'm just so tired of half assed slapstick cartoons.
Bitch, de hadn't have a lapstick carrión like i'm the 50's for decades, How could you be tired?

I would guess a good chunk of current animators could do good hand drawn animation, not all not even close. It's just a combo of budgetary and time constraints
Most people aren't James Baxter, but they aren't the average shitter from Canada using flash or the average gook being paid 2 dollars an hour.

Rebecca Sugar is actually a good animator when given the chance.

>says the person who posted "de hadn't have a lapstick carrión like i'm the 50's for decades"

>Looney Tunes Cartoons coming soon
How soon are we talking? Also has the Looney Tunes Critic said anything yet? If not, I guarantee he'll do a review of the new short by Saturday.

To my knowledge, they showed 2 shorts at Annecy. One being "Mummy Dummy" and other being "Wet Cement". The one we saw wasn't at the Annecy festival I don't think. Also they have about 20 or so completed cartoons.

Indeed, it's well animated but it looks fuckin retarded. Like they animator we're thinking "lol let she move like a fucking fish out of water". When did you ser a normal functional person doing that while munching? Not yo mention the sexual implications of that scene.

It's not forced animation, this is justo autism.

>t's not like we are starved for content
Yeah, we were? Like you just said, Wabbit/New Looney Tunes was shit, and Looney Tunes Show was a great, funny, show, but it was a lot different from the classic theatrical shorts. So people looking for the high quality animation and physical gags those bring have been starved for a long ass time.

Has he said anything about the new LT shorts? He's looooves the 40's era shorts and considers Great Piggy Bank Robbery his favorite cartoon so i'm curious to see if he's actually happy with what they're doing now.

>Looney Tunes Show was a great, funny, show
Great? No. Funny? Sometimes.

It's pretty surreal to see this kind of animation quality come out of the current cartoon industry.

I'd wait until we discover if rhese new Looney Tunes are actually funny.

It'd be hilarious if they have more lavish animation while delivering less laughs; the opposite to classic Warner and Disney shorts!

The music really sells it. Pretty good for just a minute and a half.

>It's incredibly animated

Ok, cool, but aren't these supposed to be funny?

Wasn't expecting much from a reboot, but this was great. Hope they can keep this up.

the background colors are really tacky, my only complaint with this short

It's traditional slapstick with no dialogue and only a minute and a half long. It's literally just a preview to show the worriers that it is has high production value that wont cheap-out and take shortcuts. Wait until we get to the longer ones.

This will most likely be very unfunny because it'll be repetitive and made for old geezers that were already gonna die from old age 60 years ago.

I never released how much we take sound design for granted until this...

Here's your (you) so no one else has to reply.

Old boomer grampa detected.

Looks even better than I could ever hope. This looks better than most of the LT shorts from the 60's which isn't saying much but the fact it's better than LT towards the end is a great sign and it can only grow from this point on.

Considering we haven't had slapstick this high quality and well animated in decades, I highly welcome something lighthearted for a change

The last time I remember a 2D animation studio doing a cartoon synced to an orchestra was Mickey Mouse Works, and that was.. What? 1999?

> Watch bean-mouth defenders shit on this

Has better animation than the usual Mickey shorts but i'm noticing cheapness here and there. Also they have no sense of depth.

They have tried but they haven't been able to say much other than "I don't find it funny".

Those yellow gloves and skinny fingers are somehow...just WRONG.

I remember the last thread they were trolling that "some are one minute it's going to suck"
If these are the minute ones I'll take em

Looks cool and retro to me. Especially if they are a pale yellow.

I was genuinely going through a rough path recently. But seeing this, I might stick around for a while. Who knows, we might get to see Fleischer-tier DCAU shorts in the future as well, that might bring american action animation to the high gear.
