		<description>I&#039;m stoked for the new show! I think Daffy looks great - love the modern sort of faux-hawk going on, and his &#039;spiky&#039; bottom half reminds me of his personality - so I&#039;m all for the new design. Also, I always thought Bugs had a smug streak in him anyways, so I&#039;m happy to see the arms folded, eyebrows raised, standing behind Daffy who&#039;s trying to steal the show!</description>

		<description>Animation character design is in a weird state of flux these days.

Either it&#039;s minimalistic - iconic &quot;anime&quot; style designs....or it&#039;s the &quot;hyper-photo-realism&quot; of CG and seeing every single pore and hair on the character.  

What happened to the balance of simple cartoon drawing??  Bring back the art and appreciation of drawing, man.

....urg.  The usual &quot;oversized head and feet and hands&quot; ....&quot;Anime-style Bugs Bunny&quot;.... no thank you....</description>

		<description>Scarabim, the muppets never worked in features IMO. However I think Muppets Tonight, the tv show, was created when Jim Henson had already dead (correct me if I&#039;m wrong) and it was a very good show that actually reflects the Muppets characters and their humor in a very faithful way.

I wish this show will do anything similar for  the Looney Tunes, though it&#039;s a lot more difficult.</description>

		<description>Obo: “Did it ever occur to you that maybe, just maybe the reason why LT isn’t being shown here is because the rating for LT have been terrible? Acme Hour was one of the lowest rated shows on CN before it went off the air…”

In its later years, the Acme Hour was an hour of one-shots, lacking Bugs, Daffy, or any other well-known characters.

I may like the one-shots myself, but kids like the well-known characters. So I’m not surprised this was ratings suicide. But there was no getting CN to correct a mistake: rather than revise the show, they kept it just as it was until its ratings killed it. It was CN’s way or the highway.</description>

		<description>yes, it&#039;s a sad but true fact that little kids DON&quot;T know the Looney Tunes characters, unless their parents show them on dvd or VHS tapes.</description>

		<description>So much focus on the look of these classic characters, but what I am interested in seeing the most is how they are writing/boarding these things. 

They can look EXACTLY like the old designs &amp; please all the venomous Looney Tunes fanatics, but if the gags &amp; writing sucks then who cares what they look like?</description>

		<description>I&#039;m pretty surprised about how everybody loves the CGI Coyote and hate the 2D designs. Even though the Wile E. Coyote image looks good, the 2D drawing looks a lot more appealing to me. There is cuteness, skill and expressiveness in it.  

I think it&#039;s just because the 2D designs are different and Wile E. looks similar but in 3D. I understand people not liking some of the design decisions when they think about the characters. I agree with Peter H. Bugs&#039; long body is part of his character and it&#039;s weird to see him like this.

However, if I forget about the character, the drawing is appealing enough. It doesn&#039;t look terrible like Loonatics or devoid of style like most LT merchandising.

People should differ the quality of the drawing from the design decisions. You can say you don&#039;t like the proportions but I fail to see what&#039;s so ugly about the drawing and it&#039;s definitely not badly drawn.

And even the design decision part is not that much of a deal. Maybe if the series is a  big success and we start watching these designs everywhere instead of the original ones then there could be a problem with it. But the way I see it now it&#039;s pretty much like the original creators drawing the characters in different ways. Yes, they did keep the proportions more similar but I never liked how McKimson drew Bugs in some of his shorts, when he draws him fat, but that doesn&#039;t make me hate all those shorts per se. They are not my fave ones but I can watch them if they have good gags.

This is Bugs in these series.  Jones&#039; designs are not going to change because of this and I can always watch a Jones&#039; short whenever I want to.

I&#039;m not mad about this new Bugs but it doesn&#039;t look ugly either. I can perfectly watch a cartoon with those designs without feeling sick. I don&#039;t think they&#039;re corrupting Bugs because his feet are longer or his body is short. I can think it&#039;s not the best decision but at the end of the day if the stories are fun and the animation is well done, who cares? This is not like Loonatics where the look of it instantanely puts me off.</description>

		<description>Good thing Chuck ain&#039;t around to see the Looney Tunes franchise gone to Dungville!  These new character designs alone would have sent him to his grave.</description>
