New Looney Tunes
Skip to comments
Warner Bros. Animation is producing new Looney Tunes for the public.
Returning to the original 1930s and 1940s cartoons for inspiration, new shorts go heavy on sight gags and don’t spare the violence. So snowflakes, who demanded the elimination in the ’70s and ’80s of what made the Tex Avery/Bob Clampett/Frank Tashlin/Chuck Jones cartoons such classics, had better shield their eyes.
“Our mantra on the shorts is story, comedy and reverence for the classic Looney Tunes of the ‘30s and ‘40s and the way they used a more cartoonist driven animation.”
A dozen shorts premiered at the Annecy Intl. Animation Festival in France.
One 90 second short has been released to the public.
Looney Tunes Cartoons is a series of new short form cartoons starring the iconic and beloved Looney Tunes characters. With a crew of some of the premier artists working in animation today, each “season” will produce 1,000 minutes of all-new Looney Tunes animation that will be distributed across multiple platforms — including digital, mobile and broadcast.
Each cartoon will vary from one to six minutes in length and, from the premise on through to the jokes, will be “written” and drawn by the cartoonists, allowing their own personality and style to come through in each cartoon.
Among the sites reporting are Variety and Newsarama.
