    Looney Tunes theatrical return

    The famous Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner are appearing in three new shorts set to air in front of various upcoming films. In an attempt to bring the franchise into a post-cgi world, the shorts will be 3d animation. I'm a bit weary of the cgi update, but I suppose it could work....



    Having met some kids that have no idea what LT is, I'm excited. And the 3D conversion looks spot on in the few photos provided. Too bad I'll most likely never see the films they're attached to.

    Anyway....good to see these characters appearing on the big screen again. Hopefully this is WB testing the waters for some sort of feature.

    I've literally almost pissed myself watching those things.

    I'm also excited about this.

    They don't even give this stuff on tv anymore. However, they still give some Hanna Barbara on boomerang. It's not looney tunes but i still grew up with it.

    Shit man, now you got me thinking about the old toons like Woody Woodpecker, chilly willy, heckle and jeckle and mighty mouse!

    I wouldn't be surprised if we see adaptations of these soon. If Alvin & The Chipmunks, The Smurfs, and Yogi Bear are all "new", you know the rest will follow. I would like to give Yogi a chance as it's Dan Aykroyd, but it looks just as bad as Alvin was.

    Hell....even Tin Tin is getting a movie from Spielberg!

    If that photo is from the upcoming short... the CG animation looks great. Love the reflection of The Roadrunner in Wile's Knife.

    Good attention to detail. I had missed that.

    But i guess to do what you do it's a requirement.

    Isn't that the truth! I grew up on LT's. My wife, unfortunately, was a Disney nut and never got into Looney Toons, which I personally think should be considered a felony offense.

    Yes they were the 2 factions back in the day. It was like coke and pepsi.

    And Hanna Barbara was like RC cola.

    This is an idea I'm actually all for; I get the feeling they won't screw up and tarnish the original toons.

    I'm thankful to have my siblings, whom are 5 & 6 and actually know/love Looney Tunes.

    Kids have no decent shows these days! Pretty much every program or cartoon aimed at kids is either trying to educate them or trying to push some message on to them about recycling, multiculturalism & global warming, what a load of crap!
    Lets hope these new Looney tunes efforts stick to the old formula & havent been watered down by political correctness!

    Yes!

    Bring it back to characters being smashed by bolders, falling off cliffs and blowing themselves up with TNT I say!

    Spongebob is the only current show that isn't half bad. My kid loves it and I can also get a good laugh or two per episode.
