"Buzz Bunny"

I'm going to go to bed and pretend this isn't happening.

"Buzz Bunny"

That's the name of my vibrator, indeed.

That's why they're changing the name from "Buzz Bunny" to "Ace Bunny". I read somewhere that the makers of the "Buzz Bunny" vibrator were going to lawsuite WB if they went ahead with "Buzz Bunny".

Plus, there's the connection between a kids' show and a sex toy that wouldn't sit well with parents. Pretty good idea to change it.

On the cartoon itself, I'll just echo everyone's comments and say no matter how much Warner Brothers fiddle with the character design or change the names, the cartoon is still going to be a PIECE OF SHIT.

It's looking like Teen Titans with fur.

It looks like something from the vcl

It's looking like Teen Titans with fur.

Well, its seems fair.

But what about an "Ewil Vilwain" for the show?

Either way, the human-like mouth on the female creature is horrible.

Lok, I know it goes with your username and stuff, but uh your "talking like elmer fudd" gimmick is seriously geting annoying. Knock it off.

wow now they just look creepy.

omg soulraep

Just be glad he's not signing his posts.

He's kind of missing the point there. Bugs stopped being funny not because the character became static, but because they started writing these cartoons strictly for children. The conceit that cartoons were strictly kiddie fare only came later. The goofy slapstick in the original Looney Tunes wasn't anything that was out of line with the Three Stooges or the Marx Brothers, which also were intended for adults. When writers decided that children are stupid and that everything has to be dumbed down for them, that's when Bugs Bunny - and cartoons in general - stopped being funny.

Ace Bunny (descendant of Bugs Bunny), voiced by Charlie Schlatter, the adroit and quick-witted, action-driven leader who galvanizes his crew for each mission, boasting infrared laser-lock vision and marital arts ingenuity.

From the Loonatics press release:

Or maybe Ace Bunny really is a master of the marital arts!?

Edit: What makes it truly hilarious is that all kinds of news pages have copied and pasted from that press release - without any of them correcting that typo. Or maybe Ace Bunny really is a master of the marital arts!?

That'd be worth watching. I want to see "Ace Bunny" healing wounded marriages through therapy!

Insert your own joke using the terms "Buzz Bunny" and "Marital Aid" here.

Seriously, that sounds like it's right up Cartoon Network's alley. Put "Loonatic Counselors Unleashed" along with Sealab 202, Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law and Space Ghost: Coast to Coast.

And add a lot of violence and anime-ish humor. That'd make it fit for Adult Swim.

The thing is, kids will watch anything. I realized this after re-watching my beloved Voltron and Silverhawks on Cartoon Network and realizing just how awful they actually were. The objection comes from parents who ultimately have to sit and watch this rubbish with their kids (I'm broadly assuming there are a few parents who still do this). I doubt parents would object as much to the mass marketing blitz of Pokemon, if the show wasn't so vapid. I'd rather my kids demand a Tickle-Me Elmo than a talking Pikachu doll.

Or mention Sherman in Savannah

there is no hate and pain in sunshine land

Todays' post was brought to you by the letter "E", and the letter "U".

As for what Elmo can do, heres an idea of his connections; both with Kofi Anin and the European Union. Pretty fast work for carpet sewn puppet with foam eyeballs.

I can't see the kids WB show do anything of this size even with japanese stying and the Kung foo.

I think my Inner Child just commited suicide...

I grew up watching those Looney Tunes re-runs on CartoonNetwork...

They don't air those anymore.

PC destroys everything it touches.

You know what else they don't air on Cartoon Network anymore? Speedy Gonzales.

The joke about the mexican stereotype in Speedy Gonzales cartoons is that
it is to far away from reality.
What living mexican could ever identify with those mice ?
And who says other people are as easily offended as americans ?
I am german and I don't mind all the lederhosen stereotypes and the wartime cartoons.
Found a "banned cartoon" on torrent with Reichsmarschall Goebbels and Bugs Bunny.and wondered why it is banned.
Because it made fun of Goebbels ? Eh ?
They should show some wartime cartoons again.
Political correctness can go to heck.

I'm not a huge fan of disney but if you haven't seen Hitlers Face, (possibly Der Fuhrer Face) it's brilliant (possibly won best animated short oscar), probably the best wartime cartoon. Tex averys were awesome too

Let me say this again,simply;New Loonatics=crap=angry fans=suit with NO MORE JOBS!...now,how hard is that?

Studio execs probably aren't even aware that fans exist, and if they did, they couldn't care less.

The Loonatics are aimed along the lines at a 4-9 year old demographic on Cartoon Network to sell nine minutes of advertising on a thirty minute timeslot and a toy line for the christmas season.

The fact that some aging fans who are nostalgic for the old Loony Tunes are pissed isn't even a blip on the radar.

To tell the truth, nobody gives a shit about adults who watch children's cartoons. And frankly, they shouldn't.

Yeah, but somebody in charge ought to give a shit about children who watch children's cartoons. There's no need to feed children crap; and as Beauty of Nature said, it takes very little effort to do something better.

Well, I had to see it for myself....And it was crap!Ninja Turtles lite or recycled Road Rovers...either way,a 25 minute toy commercial...Way to go suits :roll:

Think of how parents recently have been complaining about how mindless the shows that are on for thier kids. Like how Barney the dinosaur or the teletubbies got on a lot of parents nerves. Why underestimate your audience and dumb things down till there's nothing left?

Given that characters like Bugs Bunny and Mickey Mouse have their roots in entertaining adults in cinemas whilst they waited between news reels and features I'd still love to see some of the classic characters brought back with an up to date cynical edge for a modern auience, but that isn't going to happen as adults simply aren't where the money is anymore.

Animation hasn't always been for children. That association has only really come up in the past three decades or so, if I remember rightly, when people realised that kids were loving the slapstick humour of the older cartoons. Then came the legislation to remove the adult references as these cartoons were now, somehow, for kids only to enjoy.

While cartoons were clearly not yet exclusively children's entertainment, there was little doubt that a large proportion of their audience was under the age of twelve... Leon Schlesinger, the producer of the Warner Brothers cartoons, was quoted as believing that since many cartoon viewers are children, cartoon producers are morally obligated to serve the children's interests.
(...)
The purpose of the Code was to officially enforce several Hollywood rules ignored by various studios since at least 1930. The Code was created to avoid official government censorship and to appease the growing criticism of motion pictures as immoral entertainment.

To silence (Hollywood's) critics, the Code conceded to many of their demands. Homosexuality, interracial romance, drug and alcohol abuse, abortion, and nudity were all prohibited. Couples could not be shown as sharing the same bed. Not only were the "Seven Dirty Words" that George Carlin would later joke about prohibited, but so were many others. Violence was toned down. More importantly, no story could appear in which evil and good were confused. Any evil character had to be concocted so there could be no audience sympathy for him, and the evil character must be punished by the end of the film.
This explains why so many movies continue with this formula even today.
(...)
The Code had some fine results, albeit indirectly. (...) Classic novels such as Wuthering Heights and The Wizard of Oz were filmed along with Shakespearean plays in an attempt to show how cultured Hollywood could be (!). (...) The gangster films became morality plays in which the mob boss was transformed into a parable of the American Dream gone awry.
(...)
The Production Code of 1934 forcibly changed the Betty Boop character, and her new form was saccharine sweet. While the Boop never reached the sauciness that Tex Avery's Red and Who Framed Roger Rabbit's Jessica Rabbit would do later, she was clearly an offender under the new rules. Her sexy teases contained too much promise. Betty's hemlines were lowered to reveal only her calves, and instead of playing dance hall characters, she was typecast as a schoolmarmy maiden aunt. She was paired with a series of cute animal and children, all of whom seemed to be based on a simplification of the Disney formula. (...) The Fleischer cartoons made under the Betty Boop header were attempts to please the Production Code by aping the Disney style.

Betty's last cartoons for Fleischer were completed in 1939 and from that point on, the Boop vanished from newly produced cartoons. Max and Dave Fleischer had long since refocused their energies into series that the Production Code would find less troublesome. Popeye may have been violent. Nevertheless, the Sailor Man didn't drink or talk suggestively and his girlfriend was unlikely to inspire erotic feelings in moviegoers.

True enough, but I do remember Donald Duck commiting various acts of GBH which always greatly amused me.

Jah help me,but ,yes I can see the suits at Disney doing the same bloody nonsense....bottom line:the suits win ,and the fans(old and young)are screwed!...but didn't we expect that?

You realize, of course, that there probably is something like that lurking in the direct to video market.

As a matter of fact, yes there is.

Teenagers nothing.. they are bubble headed stoner aliens now! =)

Oh, I REMEMBER that show! I always pitied Donald throughout the whole thing...I remember some furry dude I knew used to draw pics of Daisy getting it on with Huey, Duey, and Louie...I think Joe Randel has a few of the sort, as well.

GONTERMANIA STRIKES KIDS WB!

GONTERMANIA STRIKES KIDS WB!

Who is this Gonterman? I keep hearing his name bought up.

Personally, I think the show is passable at best. Not like, oh, Ed, Edd, and Eddy.
