Joe Alaskey didn't like the premise either, saying that the Looney Tunes felt "subservient" to that film and that the "hip-hop angle [on the] classic characters" felt like "pandering." Combined with the drawn-out auditioning process, he decided to pass on the movie and it's one of the few post-Blanc Looney Tunes projects he had no part in.

Funny how that works

Interesting, I actually never knew that. Any idea on what he said/where he said it?

Alaskey also refused to audition for The Looney Tunes Show because he thought the sitcom premise was a betrayal of the brand. Then he died.

Bob Bergen said he was part of the pilot back when it was still "Laff Riot" or whatever, but I guess he just wasn't chosen.
But yeah, in an interview with Saturday Morning Rewind he called the show a concept he didn't care for, saying that it breaks Chuck Jones's rule of "if it doesn't need to be animated, don't animate it [if it's a sitcom, you FILM it]" and that it turns Bugs and Daffy into the Odd Couple.
I remember being really sad about his death because he was by far in a way my favorite Tweety, and I genuinely think he owned Sylvester and Marvin better than Blanc did in some ways. Don't smoke, kids.

Yes he was.

The real lesson to learn from all this is that Blazing Saddles is the only good Live Action Looney Toons movie.

The entire movie was pretty fucking bad outside of the fact that the Looney Tunes characters were animated very well and it had a fun theme song. Outside of that the film is weak as fuck.
>BUT THE OST
The OST is a mix of old pop and then-contemporary pop songs exempting the theme. It's not actually part of the production, they just go licence to play the music.
Aaron Hill
Blazing Saddles is the only good movie.

The movie literally only exists because Nike used Bugs Bunny to advertise basketball shoes. It's pure crap with a bizarre amount of fetish fuel that exists only as a product and not something that had passion put in it. And I'm totally 100% fine with that.
Space Jam 2 is gonna fucking suck though.

Not understanding that Looney Tunes changed humor and mannerisms with the era they were animated in.
This is why modern Mickey Mouse and Ducktales are driving the Tunes into irrelevance.

Good on the show runner for actually following that at least.

One of the new Looney Tunes shorts is actually going to be based around this idea.
Owen Brown
I mean the newest reboot is literally trying their damnedest to go classic.
