annecy.org/programme/index:rdv-200001501315 >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.
>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.
>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.

Jason Barnes
>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.
Justin Myers
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.
Xavier Wilson
tlts is a prime example of good writing salvaging an otherwise mediocre show
Juan Williams
Ah, yes, I forgot how verbose and thought provoking the dialogue and storylines of fucking classic Looney Tunes was
Ryder Gonzalez
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.
Parker Lopez
I hope they include some politically incorrect humor as well, like jokes about blacks, Mexicans, Muslims, Asians, trannies, etc.
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.
Nathan Ortiz
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.
Camden Murphy
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
Nathan Johnson
This
Chase Harris
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.
Eli Price
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.
Carson Taylor
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.
Comes out June 10, after premiere of playmobil movie. A preview was shown last year.
Liam Garcia
So where can we watch them? iTunes,Amazon, Netflix, Boomerang?
Brayden Cooper
I feel like I'm taking crazy pills right now. >muh sitcom-tier script-driven shows >muh character ships >storyboard-driven only shows suck, fuck "show, not tell" >t-t-the CalARTS meme is not real, s-shut up! Maybe it's the same shills that were unironically assblasted in the first thread this got revealed. >inb4 Get out, John K.
that's part of his original design. these shorts are meant to be a callback to that. it doesn't look as good as white gloves do and only autistic purists will disagree
Landon King
THIS IS THE MOST HYPE FUCKING PROJECT AND I’M GONNA SHILL IT TO HIGH HEAVEN!
Are we going to be able to see the premiere/interview or will we just have to see people’s opinions afterwards?
Jacob Bennett
>a show isn't as good without good writing woah... that's crazy....
Owen Sanders
Are you fucking kidding me.
Charles Brooks
Goes to show, Steven Jewniverse is so shit, some newfags blame the entire board driven system on it.
Ethan Gray
These character designs are calarts tier
Kevin Murphy
>so memorable to everyone I love the Looney tunes show, but hardly anyone remembers it existing, even in the animation community
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.
Josiah Brooks
It's gonna be full sjw pc
Michael Thomas
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.
Chase Bell
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.
Joshua Collins
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
Xavier Howard
Fuck off with all these words and give me the actual shorts
Robert Brooks
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.
Evan Mitchell
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
Owen Hill
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.
Brody Sanchez
You have to wait literally one day lmao calm
Elijah Edwards
Fuck you. I have cancer
Leo Nelson
>those actually scared by the prospect of actual animation becoming popular again Why would anyone be scared of that?
Jonathan Rodriguez
because lazy hacks will be out of a job.
Julian Garcia
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.

Aaron Stewart
>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.
Jose Fisher
>This thread What the hell is going on?
Jackson Edwards
I still like asshole daffy, but I agree that daffy daffy is best www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Q-qW3lvzDw

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.
Caleb Murphy
>Another show where the artists/animators are writers user, that's a good thing when concerning Looney Tunes.
William Thompson
>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.
Ayden Jones
>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.
Robert Jackson
Is Disney about to get dabbed on?
Xavier Lewis
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)
Brayden Nguyen
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.
Michael Ortiz
We'll never get something like Carolina in the Morning ever again.
Connor Thomas
Quick bumperino before I go.
Henry Peterson
What about the creator. Do you have a problem with the creator doing multiple roles?
Andrew Flores
Peasant
Jordan Foster
I mean are you sure? Looney Tunes was a pretty wordy cartoon.
Isaiah Peterson
Only thing I’m disappointed in is >each cartoon will vary from one to six minutes in length Otherwise looks promising
Liam Rivera
To be fair, Looney Tunes could have some pretty elaborate puns and dialogue based jokes.
Cameron Martinez
Comes out online a few days after premiere
Jace Watson
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.
Jackson Davis
>user, that's a good thing when concerning Looney Tunes.
And this after years of shitty Looney Tunes relaunches written by sitcom writers.
Kayden Ross
Going from sitcom writers to no writers isn't much of an upgrade, user.
In fact, it's barely different.
Benjamin Gutierrez
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.
Alexander Stewart
>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.
Jayden Price
>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.
Xavier Ortiz
>Yea Forums hates cartoons by animators and would rather have sitcom shit Where did it all go so wrong?
Asher Jones
See you moron Writer != sitcom writer
Jason Torres
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.
Jeremiah Gomez
I learned of this when someone made a thread about it here the other day. Yea Forums is so fucking retarded
Austin Russell
This. Daffy Daffy is much more versatile and can take on many different roles depending on the story.
Hunter Richardson
I hate to agree with a namefag, but cartoonists and animators managed pretty damn well for decades before studios hired writers for them
Ryder Cook
>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.
Samuel Gonzalez
>Family Guy with talking animals. So just Family Guy?
Austin Campbell
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).
Evan Bennett
I thought that started happening in the 90's with the success of the Simpsons?
Jace Gray
I'm talking about real cartoons, not shitty "adult" (immature) sitcoms that happen to be animated.
Christian Hughes
What about 1980's toy cartoons, aren't those based off a script?
James James
>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
Thomas Turner
>There's a reason the 2000s were the greatest cartoon era in history WITCHfag actually believes this
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.
Luke Sullivan
>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.
Leo Richardson
>nostalgia Not because they have better animation and are mostly considered timeless compared to almost anything from the 00's?
Jason Kelly
We have some details about the Annecy short: >Directed by David Gemmill >boarder Mike Ruocco (one of the few guys returning from Wabbit/New Looney Tunes) mentioned in a separate tweet he boarded/co-wrote it
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.
Brandon Fisher
God damn that looks so good Also >A Porky & Duffy Cartoon
Grayson Wood
>They don't have animation anywhere near as good as the best toons of the 2000s Then post proofs, friend
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.
Ayden Peterson
Patiently waiting for based Foghorn Leghorn
Xavier Smith
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.
Owen Nelson
Do you know who directs "Wet Cement" and “The Curse of the Monkey Bird”?
That's not an argument. I posted proof, now admit you're wrong and I'm right.
Jace Edwards
Jesus Christ, user, I too have my doubts about the impact of nostalgia on people's opinions of Looney Tunes, but that was not a good example of animation period.
This is why we don't take animefags and especially witchfags seriously. Admit it witchfag: you don't like animation and you want it to be boring live action garbage like NCIS or The Big Bang Theory
Noah Murphy
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.
John Baker
So, basically, everyone from Yea Forums who hates Yea Forums's guts.
Justin Diaz
Nice b8 m8
Henry Gonzalez
Most live action shows are mass-produced trash, so no thank you. Also, I fucking LOVE animation so don't you fucking insult me like that. It's not bait at all.
>I just need excellent writing (and music) as well. Good thing Looney Tunes has both of those!
Christian Reyes
Kids don't give a fuck about Looney Tunes anymore because networks stopped airing them due to the shorts being too violent. By modern standards, Classic Looney Tunes are adult animation or adult swim tier.
Lincoln Miller
>best fucking melody of any cartoon theme (the composers are literally geniuses) >best fucking synchronization of any cartoon opening (apparently so are the storyboarders) >the single biggest contrast between girly and badass shit I've ever seen in ANY medium, let alone cartoons (that's hot as fuck tbqfh) >cleverly written, playful/teasing lyrics Were you saying something user?
Anthony Mitchell
Oh yeah, and of course there's also the stunningly gorgeous animation, especially the colors and overall flow of it. Can't forget that.
The lack of a Carl Starling or Fritz Freleng alone would make it unlikely but hopefully not impossible.
Jace Green
>Freleng Yikes
Gabriel Cook
>getting literal high production value kino tomorrow >thread dead This is sad.
Austin Martinez
It could be great or it could be mediocre, the hype is gonna start rolling in if it's good.
Justin Hill
We have been having all this talk over 4 images and two seconds of footage It's been getting talk I can assure you that
Levi Turner
Could someone hurry and scan this shit so I can see the image in perfect clarity. Also translation wgen?
Lincoln Lee
This is just Tranysylvania 6-5000 but instead of a Vampire it's a Mummy. >Bugs trying to get to Pennsylvania but ends up in Tranysylvania >Bugs trying to get to Las Vegas but ends up in Egypt Also I desperately want to see Count Blood Count to return.
Logan Davis
>translation when There's literally text in plain english, you silly goose butt.
>Fred Tatasciore is Yosemite Sam It's not Maurice LaMarche but I guess he's a good second choice. Jeff Bergman is Elmer and Foghorn Fuck off. That should be Billy West and Maurice LaMarche.
Why the fuck is WB so incompetent and inconsistent with the voices in comparison to Disney? I still think Eric Bauza is a subpar pick for Bugs but i'll try to be optimistic. Good Daffy though.
Nathaniel Sanchez
Why the fuck those thread attract so many autists?
Cooper Fisher
Annecy Festival is tomorrow yeah? Hopefully there's a thread on it.
Ryan Sullivan
who knows. I remember for a while the wikipedia article had this weird animator fantasy football lineup instead of the people actually working on the show
Why are the quality of these videos in 360p? Even Looney Tunes Show which isn't even a decade old looks like shit (Bugs and Daffy's voices also sound like trash but that's just an observation)
Also how do we know the new shorts will even be uploaded on there by tomorrow?
David Taylor
Oh boy.. Today's the day. Anyone know what time the premiere starts (Not France's timezone though) and is anyone livestreaming it?
Carter Davis
BUGS'. GLOVES. ARE NOT. YELLOW. >b-but he used to wear those just look at this irrelevant old design that nobody knows about, it's so obscure therefore it's friggin superior FUCK YOU
This hash has most if not all of them: b86f42996d8ca8804d72255b2bc092b93c0c01f3
Henry Brooks
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.
Jayden Phillips
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.
Oliver Lopez
Lola and Daffy, they were really funny together in The Looney Tunes Show. Interested to see if they still have good comedic chemistry.
Christopher Mitchell
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
Ryder Wilson
It's weird and cool how all 4 of these Bugs look different from one another. Even the colors are different.
Colton Campbell
Forgot to tag too
Luke Taylor
Yeah. Hell, I'm an autist and I accept the change.
Gabriel Collins
>Lola Nope. Not in these shorts and probably wont be for awhile thankfully.
Ayden Barnes
YEAH BUT IT'S FUCKING RAINING AGAIN SO NO SHOW ON THE PAQUIER TONIGHT EVERY SINGLE YEAR IT'S RAINING GODDAMNIT
Charles Edwards
>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 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.
Christopher Reyes
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.
the more you learn, thanks user
Jose Carter
>OK KO >good You're not doing your argument any favors.
Hudson Martinez
>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
Isaac Gonzalez
and when Classical Music *did* show up, it was generally in Freleng shorts, rather than being universal to the shorts as a whole
Landon Fisher
They changed the color to white for a reason, yellow gloves look terrible.
Henry Reyes
Yeah pretty much, lol.
Josiah Peterson
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)
The fact they're not using this verson of Bugs is a shame.
Julian Bell
The fuck is this
Aaron Ward
Storyboard driven doesn’t mean there’s no dialogue
Camden Smith
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
Chase Taylor
12 oz mouse
Jack Price
So are we not at Annecy getting anything June 10th or will we have to wait?
Nathan Gray
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.
Nolan Phillips
Would the Behind the Scenes be uploaded likewise?
Kayden Wilson
I imagine they'd want to. I wonder how long it is.
Jaxon Bailey
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.
Easton Hughes
It's such a saturated shade of yellow too. It draws far more attention than the neutral white.
Jordan James
We're finally getting actual animation after decades worth of CalArts garbage and these retards are complaining about the color of his fucking gloves
Dylan Perry
It doesn't ruin anything but it's still a peculiar design change. It's not odd that people notice it right away.
Dylan Hill
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?
Sebastian Adams
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.
Alexander Ramirez
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 are some rabid fans here that are hyping it to hell and back, but I do hope it's good.
Oliver Nguyen
Will there be an annecy thread as a whole?
Daniel Powell
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.
William Nelson
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.
Joseph Ross
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
William Moore
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
Josiah Russell
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.
Charles Brown
>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
Oliver Sullivan
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.
Parker Wilson
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
Juan Parker
Looney Tunes isn't relevant anymore. It's relevance in popular culture has pretty much been on an IV since the mid 2000s.
Aaron Walker
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?
Jeremiah Flores
Maybe if we'd finally get to see any of these damn shorts we could talk about them
Elijah Foster
Other than Looney Tunes we don't have any exact dates as to when new shit is coming out

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.
Isaiah Thomas
why won't they just let it die
Michael Murphy
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.
Thomas Mitchell
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?
Dominic Robinson
Can't say for sure but 1000 minutes/200 shorts = 5 minutes per short on average.
Aiden Wood
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?
Nolan Butler
Its usually because of copyright, that's why Man of Steel 2013 was made in the first place.
Cooper Williams
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.
Hudson Phillips
so the normal range is from "paul rudish mickey short length" to "classic short length"
Asher Long
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.
Owen Walker
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.
Nicholas Hughes
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.
Grayson Campbell
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.
Christian Murphy
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.
Zachary Kelly
user go to bed lmao we might not even get to see it today
Christopher White
Examples?
Joshua Martin
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)
David Hernandez
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.
Isaac Brown
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.
Jacob Howard
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.
Asher Johnson
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?
Ryder Brown
they're showing the Mummy one before the playmobil movie, and wet cement at a panel dedicated to the shorts
Adrian Turner
Nvm it's Leiji but give details on top picture.
Matthew Wright
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
Jason Scott
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.
James Garcia
Bump
Jace King
Is there still no information on when the shorts will be broadcast, or even where?
Jayden Parker
Warner recently did that with the dc super hero girls short preceding teen titans go to the movies.
Welp, judging by the time, both shorts have been officially screened. Now we wait for whenever they get publicly released
Dylan Sanders
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.
Noah Wright
Don’t pretend like Yea Forums is any less retarded, especially when talking about Yea Forums content.
Zachary Perry
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
Logan Roberts
>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.
The "Happy Rabbit" bullshit is a stupid story Mel Blanc told in the 1970s. Everyone repeats it because lazy.
Luis King
Daffy is at his best around 1949, in cartoons like The Ducksters, which split the difference between him being wacky and being selfish.
Carson Mitchell
The short will be seen by the public August 30th 2019 when it debuts before Playmobil: The Movie
Hudson Anderson
How old are you, child? How can anybody here not know about Interstella 5555?
Chase Brown
>August 30th 2019 Do you have a source?
Henry Taylor
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
Brayden Murphy
So, that's the catch to all of this; we get Looney Tunes shorts but their success is banking on the Playmobil movie.
Brandon Ross
thank you
Cameron Morales
I’m not watching playmobil
James Campbell
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
Liam Clark
>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
Nathaniel Myers
I'd say rather high if they can pull off the atmosphere.
Ian Gray
I think you might be able to get a refund once the short's over.
They'll most likely be playing in front of the theatrical WB animated film like: >Scoob! (2020) >Tom and Jerry (2021) >Space Jam 2(2021) >Minecraft: The Movie(2022) >DC Super Pets (2022) >The Jetsons (TBA) >The Cat in the Hat (TBA) >Coyote vs ACME (TBA)
>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.
It Tex Avery but a parody of the Walt/Mickey statue at Disney World.
Cameron Reed
Looks great but not really funny.
Nicholas Johnson
That's not in a doesn't make sense.
Adrian Lewis
It's not one of those "funny funny" kind of shorts or meant to be, nor is it the whole thing. For that I'm waiting to see what Bugs brings Still really great
Gabriel Long
We have no context yet
Thomas Myers
>That's not in a doesn't make sense.
Michael Gray
Nigger look up Tex Avery's photos and then the Walt/Mickey statue and then it will make sense.
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.
Carson Taylor
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.
Noah Fisher
>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
Anthony Nelson

Colton Rivera

Levi Diaz
>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.
Charles Anderson
Has Looney Tunes Critic guy said anything over the past 24 hours?
Nathan Rodriguez
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.
Jonathan Parker
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".
Christian Powell
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.
David Ward
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.
Jose Allen
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.
Angel Richardson
>Porky is gay now >they turned Daffy into a retard >shoving more LGBT propaganda where it isn't needed Really disappointing how even Loony Toons had to go woke. Why do SJWs have no respect for the classics baka desu
Hopefully we'll get to see some dynamics that weren't from the original cartoons. It would be interesting to see something like Elmer trying to hunt the Roadrunner or Marvin the Martian going up against Yosemite Sam.
Dylan Jones
Hopefully faggots like you fuck off and we can enjoy Looney Tunes as it’s supposed to be without “update” cancer.
Brayden Hill
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.
Jose Lopez
Which director are they aping here?
Caleb Thomas
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.
Josiah Garcia
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.
Kayden Martinez
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.

Logan Cox
So you don’t like Looney Tunes. Stop bitching about Looney Tunes for being Looney Tunes.
Hudson Jenkins
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.
Jacob Allen
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)?
Yes, we know you have brain damage. Shut the fuck up.
Joseph Sanchez
The first 20 seconds could have fooled me for an old Looney Tunes short. NICE.
>they even go with the same music lol nice

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.
Jeremiah Garcia

Xavier Price
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.
Wyatt Lee
>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
Thomas Watson

Ian Allen
>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. I like it, but thats it.

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.

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".
Evan Cooper
Are those the writers or the animators?
Samuel Gomez
I really hate this board sometimes, faggots like this are why animation is a dying artform.

Parker Sanchez
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.
Christian James
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.
Asher Torres
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.
Christopher Nelson
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.

Jose Morales
in terms of cartoons plots are for thots jokes are for blokes lore is for whores gags are for chads
Adam Brown
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.
Logan Powell

Tyler James
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 kind of looks like that wet cement episode will have one angle it's viewed at.

So what, the only good thing about Ghibli is the backgrounds.

it's being animated at a pair of Canadian studios; TonicDNA and Yowza.

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.

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.

>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.

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.

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