I may be on the wrong topic here, but no amount of fancy graphics or high budget can make up for the lousy plot lines. Yosemite Sam singing a boy band song?…SERIOUSLY?! What bozo thought that one up?

It is 4/28/2011——
I just saw it. The first time with out sound.
FANTASTIC !! And LONG over due. I’ve miss those old cartoons. The new ones just don’t make it for me.
I was a bit disappointed with the back ground sounds but the sound effects were great.
Did I mention that I’m 58 years old.
Great Work !!… Keep it up !!…Please.

Actually, I wasn’t referring to this short when I was talking about the new series. All of the Looney Tunes characters have been redrawn this year (2010) in 2D with a more simplified style that is very unbecoming for the lot of them.

In regard to these clips right here, I think this looks fantastic, and I could only hope that they would go so far as to make a regular series with this quality of work in the future.

Sorry if I wasn’t clear about that.

Why do people like Road Runner cartoons when they’re so weird? That, in itself, is weird. By the way I’ve found messages saying when Chuck Jones made his T&J cartoons he tried the RR formula & it didn’t work. What’s the RR formula? Whatever it is I’d say it worked better on T&J because I like Chuck Jones’ T&J’s much better than RR.

I disagree.
I think the old Road Runner episodes look like a low cost cookie cutter formula.
with all the respect I have for the classic Road Runner, it doesn’t look good and someone has to say it.
Frame by frame the old cartoons and see for yourself the bad drawings and animation. not to mention Coyote itself looks different in some of the episodes.

If the jokes are the same in the new 3D series as they were in the classics, then 3D will only make Road Runner better. Just like this 3min short already looks better than the original and most important- makes people laugh.

And please put everything under perspective – no TV show will ever look like a Pixar production. give it a rest and start enjoying the “more simple stuff”.

The new series is sadly in the vein of raster graphics (a la Flash style animating) to simply the animation process further than it already is. The new character designs are painfully broken down and I imagine the cartoon plots will feel the same way to make a low-cost, high-rating, cookie-cutter formula.

Whatever market strategist(s) came up with the idea of making formulaic media (a stream of first-person shooters, reality tv shows, video games of movies so simple they release before the movie does, two hour long plot-less visually stupefying juggernauts now known as blockbusters) should be shot.

Immitation is the greatest form of flattery. The truth is that even if you do copy someone, you will have your own style regardless. Because even subconsciously you make changes to the things you copy to improve them in the way you feel they would work better. Also, to best understand the process for anything, whether it’s animating, drawing, painting, building a ship, selling lemonade, you WILL be copying someone. Most specifically, the techniques used by the person who taught you how to do it.
