Better Warner Bros. Animation News

Mm, I don't know; CGI just doesn't seem like a good fit for the Looney Tunes. I don't have a problem with CG in general, nor do I have a problem with shows made in CG, but CGI Looney Tunes just seems...wrong somehow.
 
CGI Looney Tunes would be a disgrace in some eyes. But it's very long that it was 2D, so we can give this a go.

Btw I like 3D when done right. If they can make a 3d cartoon expressive and wild enough to where it reminds me of 2d animation then they've won my heart.

I don't wanna see the sloppy tv 3D animation that I notice on Fanboy and Chum-chum. The attempt at CGI expression and good writing/acting is the only thing saving it from the blurry textures, the sometimes robotic toy like movements, and that annoying inbetween blur there is between each movement.

It's stuff like this that really makes me love Pixar movies.
 
Because Looney Tunes has been a staple in traditional animation for many, many decades, a 2-D format for its new series would likely be the best bet in my opinion. But even if the Warner Bros. Animation crew decides to go an extra mile and use 3-D animation, that's okay, too. After all, it's my enjoyment of the show that counts.
 
You mean, the Scooby series hasn't aired yet? I don't get CN, so would there be a place where I could watch those online when the show does premire. Just thought I'd ask about that.
 
That actually could be a good expiriment. I could see Scooby and the gang mixing with other HB characters. Maybe they could work with Fred Flintstone and Barney Rubble to solve a mystery at the rock quarry or something. Also, they can do more than they used to be able now that WB owns the Scooby-Doo gang. After all, the Looney Tunes characters have had cameos in WNSD as well as Shaggy and Scooby having a cameo in 'Back in Action.' I could see those characters working together in a full plot or something.
 
While CGI for these titles are not my cup of tea, if it allowed for the proper writing that's needed to make them well done series, I can get over it pretty fast. On the different series.


- Scooby Doo - Mystery Inc.: Eh, to be honest I haven't been really digging the newer SD, while things like there animated videos were enjoyable (so more then others), I feel there series as a whole has run its course, if they want that frame work, why not take a show like Jabberjaw and run with it. The series would be great for mixing a youthful soundtrack from ska bands and other music (since young kids today really dig those hip new band XD ), Plus there series has not seen much if any light for years.

- Batman: The Brave and the Bold: .... *cringes* Ok this one is a complete I don't know, with the resent campy Batman series/movies that have been playing on Nick, I just don't know. While I enjoy Adam West Batman when I'm watching Adam West, the newer animated campy Batman just kind of leave me cold. While I'm not saying go "God damn Batman" rout, I think they can find a mix and or balance if they really want to go the campy rout.

- A new DC Comics series (could it be Green Lantern? The Flash? Wonder Woman? Someone less known?): Same issues with batman series as well as what the storyline would be.

- And.......wait for it.....Young Justice League (NOW it's officially announced) : *points above*

- More Scooby Doo movies: Since the movies have been hit or miss, I rather have the movies then another series. SD movies I feel give the right amount of SD for the fans and keep it out of the line up for other shows for the non-fans

- And of course more the DC Original Movies.: *points to all the DC related views*


SF4 and Daffy @On the idea of crossovers, they only work if time/AU travel happens and that can be hit or miss. I've seen it done well and I've seen it done so bad it has taken years of therapy to help me get over some of those series. So if they were going to have SD and the main series and have them hopping to different time/worlds the plot and team behind it would not only have to be talented but have a clean and tight view of whats going to happen since the series would have to be a linear series and they my not like that kind of work.

Jon@ Really? *groan* Why can't people leave SH alone, while it might be cute, most of the T&J stuff as of late has just been painful. But oh well, so long as they don't TALK and stick with a proper mix of SH and the slap stick that makes T&J enjoyable then I should not be to bad... I guess.
 
Well, the Coyote and Road Runner short is part of the CGI 3-D Looney Tunes theaterical shorts Warner Bros. Animation are currently producing, working until the fall. Unlike some unhappy fans, if WB Animation can at least put the umph in these CGI shorts (like Fanboy and Chum Chum), then I'd probably watch it.

As for the new Looney Tunes series, after seeing some of the later, more tamer 1960s Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies shorts (like Aqua Duck, The Iceman Ducketh, and the 1990s shorts, I wouldn't mind if the producers followed that path than the crudful shorts from Larry Doyle.

I also hope the artists can still experiment with models varying from Darell Van Critters, Bob Clampett, Chuck Jones and Friz Freleng.
 
Why is it that seemingly everyone hates the Larry Doyle shorts. Granted i've only really seen 2 of the shorts (Whizzard of Oz and Duck Dodgers in Attack of the Drones), but they were pretty funny, i thought. What was the main difference between the Larry Doyle shorts and what most people were looking for? Was it in the animation, character designs, writing? It's probably something subtle that i'm missing.

So, i'm pretty excited about the new looney tunes stuff and the DC comics series that could be happening. Is there any way that all of this stuff (if any of it actually happens) doesn't end up on cartoon network? I mean it really seems that any of those shows could anchor any programming block that cartoon network has currently if done correctly.
 
But...if you watch any of the episodes from this season (and even most from last season), you'll see they have found a balance between campy and serious for Brave and the Bold. It isn't purely campy or purely serious; if it can be compared to anything, the tone has become more along the lines of Teen Titans.

Also, it airs on CN, not Nick.
 
Although not "cringe" worthy when I read it,the part where they state "more dialogue" driven has me a little..."eh?".Considering that most Looney Tunes shorts primarily relied on music and less on dialogue in many of their shorts.The characters relied on Charlie Chaplin-esque gags and expressions.I think that's what I loved about the older shorts.The music helped you with understanding what was going on versus Hannah-Barbera's lets-narrate-everything-we-do-outloud format which would really make me feel like the characters were always talking down to me about theirs actions.
