Looney Tunes Cartoons
What's the Story?
LOONEY TUNES CARTOONS welcomes Bugs Bunny (voiced by Eric Bauza), Daffy Duck (Bauza again), Porky Pig (Bob Bergen), Elmer Fudd (Jeff Bergman), and the rest of the classic Looney Tunes gang back to the screen. This reincarnation revisits the friendships and feuds that have become synonymous with the Looney Tunes brand since the 1930s and carries on the absurd and often physically calamitous humor that plays out among the famous characters.
Is It Any Good?
It's clear that this remake was created with the original Warner Brothers look and feel in mind, and that's to be appreciated by viewers tuning in for nostalgia's sake. Even with the advancements in animation and sound, the series conjures images of the classic cartoon and revives the rivalries as though little time has passed. It's not highbrow humor, to be sure, but the physical gags and general absurdity still entertain.
Looney Tunes Cartoons is more mature because of the reiterative violence in many of the episodes. While it's far from reality (and, let's be real, undeniably funny), it's also a constant possibility in some of the stories, whether it's physically present or just threatened to be so. Either way, this remake is a solid pick for tweens and up and especially fun for parents to watch with their older kids.
