Looney Tunes Cartoons is an American animated web television series developed by Peter Browngardt (creator ofSecret Mountain Fort Awesome and Uncle Grandpa) and produced by Warner Bros. Animation, based on the characters from Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies. The series made its worldwide debut at the Annecy International Animated Film Festival on June 10, 2019, and the first 10 episodes from the first season premiered on HBO Max on May 27, 2020.

Why Looney Tunes Characters Are Back

  1. It stays clearly faithful to the classic series and New Looney Tunes.
  2. It's also stays much more faithful compared to the 2003 shorts directed by Larry Doyle.
  3. The show manages to stay more true to the original cartoons from the 1930's, 40's, and 50's than ever before, especially the ones directed by Chuck Jones, Bob Clampett, Friz Freleng, and Tex Avery. The animation is very fluid and matches the spirit of the classic Warner Bros. cartoons.
  4. Great voice acting from Eric Bauza, Jeff Bergman, Bob Bergen, Fred Tatasciore, and Michael Ruocco who do swell jobs at sounding like Mel Blanc, Arthur Q. Bryan, and Kent Rogers.
    • The same can be said for Candi Milo with her rendition on Bea Benaderet.
  5. Good musical score that sounds a lot like Carl Stalling's music.
  6. Funny jokes and humor, frequently taking clichéd Golden Age-era gags and doing something new and creative with them (e.g. "Tunnel Vision" takes a spin on the old "painted tunnel" gag by depicting Wile E. Coyote as trapped in his own painting).
  7. The character designs can match the style of their original designs.
    • In fact, some of these designs resemble those drawn by Bob Clampett. And some of the later characters receive designs reminiscent of Clampett's drawing, like Wile E. Coyote.
  8. Speaking of characters, the Tunes themselves are still as memorable and as likeable as before.
  9. Beautiful and appealing backgrounds.
  10. Some unique references, such as Daffy posing with a cement statue of his creator, Tex Avery.
  11. Characters like Beaky Buzzard, Barnyard Dawg, Rocky, Mugsy, Charlie Dog, Ralph Wolf, Sam Sheepdog, Hector the Bulldog, The Weasel, Gossamer, Gruesome Gorilla, Mrs. Gruesome Gorilla, George Wolf, Fred Sheepdog, The Gremlin, Dr. Frankenbeans and The Russian Dog finally return to this show after being absent from New Looney Tunes.
  12. The team behind the show also released a special cartoon that celebrated Bugs Bunny's 80th birthday in 2020, which is kinda wholesome.

Bad Qualities

  1. Elmer Fudd and Yosemite Sam were banned from using guns in the show from season one, due to all mass shootings and gun violence in the United States.
    • Fortunately, it has been confirmed that the ban will be reverted for the second season, having been confirmed that Elmer will carry his shotgun in his hunts for Bugs Bunny once more.
  2. Elmer Fudd became a lot more unlikable, mainly due to his intense hatred of rabbits and his fiery temper which is almost comparable to that of Yosemite Sam. In the original cartoons, he was mostly portrayed as mild-mannered and sympathetic.
    • Cicero Pig is also unlikable due to his bratty persona.
    • Porky Pig (while likable) has been repeatedly tortured in his shorts (with "Elf Help", "Brave New Home", "Practical Jerk!", "A Skate of Confusion!", "Hog Wash" and "Overdue Duck" being the worst offenders).
  3. Some of the slapstick humor could be too violent and intense at times, even for its target audience. For example (though it is arguable that the original cartoons do occasionally have such intensively violent moments, especially in the Bob Clampett-directed cartoons from the 1940s):
    • Though still funny, Tweety breaking Sylvester's ribs in Kitty Livin (thinking that he's in his cage) can be very painful to watch.
    • In addition, the short Fully Vetted ends with Sylvester getting neutered in the end. we're not joking.
    • Weaselin' In ends with Foghorn about to be eaten by the weasel.
  4. Some bad shorts, such as "Fully Vetted", "Relax!", "Elf Help", "Weaselin' In", "Shell Shocked", "Holiday Purrchase", "A Skate of Confusion!", "Rabbit Sandwich Maker", "Bathy Daffy" and "Practical Jerk!".
  5. Just like New Looney Tunes, some gross-out humor is present that can feel out of place, with "Bathy Daffy" is the biggest.
  6. In Latin America, Miguel de León is a bad replacement for the late Luis Alfonzo Mendoza for Bugs, his imitation is very seen and almost does not have the same essence as the deceased and Alfonso Obregron.
    • Carlos Mireles as Elmer, is much worse, he does not have the character and it sounds very serious.
