Cartoon fans i've held of making this post for so long but finally here it is my thoughts on the latest Looney Tunes series Wabbit or as it's also known as Wabbit A Looney Tunes Production.
Now i have something to admit i've watched alot of this series and while it does sometimes get the humor right it gets alot of things wrong with the first of those things being the fact that it introduces a new character called Squeaks the Squirrel who adds nothing to the Looney Tunes cast he isn't even Looney he's just there and that's really it.
Some of the jokes i admit can be kinda funny but alot of the times there's no joke but the characters are acting like something funny happened and that just seems lazy to me it's almost as if the animators knew the jokes weren't funny so they had the characters act like a joke had been told in the vain hope that little kids wouldn't notice.
This is something that i only noticed while watching the season 2 premier for some unknown reason the show is now being called New Looney Tunes why not just stick with the name Wabbit just calling it New Looney Tunes doesn't sound like a show name it sounds like something you'd see in a trailer or poster for the actual show it's a minor issue but it's one that i felt needed to be brought up.
This next issue isn't minor at all it's really freaking major and that's the fact that they destroy the character of Bugs Bunny in most of the episodes now to be fair in the first episode he's still the character we all know and love but as the series goes on he gets dumber and dumber it's almost at the point where he's a completely different in one episode he mimics an oil digger and that's the joke.
Now i'll admit that the designs for the characters are pretty good i like how they made Bugs look and i like the look of Daffy but the one character who i think got the best design is Porky and it comes down to the fact that whoever did the design for him knows there Looney Tunes history since he looks like how he did when he first appeared in the mid 1930's so that's one thing the show got spot on.
The other thing i think the show got right was the animation yes there are times when the animation isn't that good but there's also times where the animation looks passable which by this show's standards means it's fantastic.
Now any Looney Tunes fan will tell that there are really only two sides to Daffy and depending and who he's with you'll get a different side so if he's teamed with Porky you'll get the more Looney side but when he's teamed with Bugs you'll see a more cynical side to him this show from what i've seen keeps the Looney side present regardless of who he's with and for Daffy that doesn't work at all Daffy works best when you use both sides of his personality.
I know alot of Looney Tunes fans hate The Looney Tunes Show but i like it because it did something different while keeping the characters true to who they are this just feels cheap at best.
