Revision as of 16:40, 23 July 2021
Looney Tunes Cartoons is a revival of the Looney Tunes franchise comprised of one- to six-minute shorts. The series released a ninety-second preview short online 12 June 2019[1], the same day it screened several shorts at the Annecy Film Festival, but made its proper debut 27 May 2020 on the HBO Max Streaming Service.[2][3][4] This is a departure from recent Looney Tunes productions, as each short has different artists and visual styles.
Development
Sam Register and Peter Browngardt, creator of Uncle Grandpa, are the executive producers for this project.[5] The designs for Looney Tunes Cartoons were previewed in the Warner Bros. Animation logo that was first shown before Teen Titans Go! To the Movies and shown in other Warner Bros. film subsequently.
In 2017, after Browngardt finished Uncle Grandpa, he had a lunch meeting with Audrey Diehl, the creative executive at Warner Bros. She was talking about a project that didn't interest him, so he talked about a project that did. As they wrapped up lunch, Pete said "You know, what I really want to do is to direct a Looney Tunes short." She was surprised that he liked the Looney Tunes and got him with a meeting with Sam Register. Browngardt said he wanted to do it like the old 40s cartoons. He then planned his cast, which was immediately set to Bauza, and he was really a fan of Jim Soper's art on Instagram, so he hired him as a character designer.[6]
The 2020 San Diego Comic Con panel on Looney Tunes Cartoons revealed that the production took particular pains to preserve the aesthetic and style of the original Looney Tunes. The supervising producer, Alex Kirwan, mentioned that while everything was created from scratch, some reporters mistook the faithful designs as reused backgrounds from the original. Aaron Spurgeon, the art director, was also noted as having used interior design magazines from the 1940s to help stay true to the old looks.[7]
Episodes released so far include twenty-three Bugs Bunny shorts, fifteen Porky and Daffy shorts, eight Road Runner shorts, six Daffy Duck shorts, six Tweety shorts, three Porky Pig shorts, two Ralph and Sam shorts, two Tasmanian Devil shorts, one Foghorn Leghorn short, one Yosemite Sam short, and one Petunia Pig short, as well as seven Marvin Flag interstitials, seven Hole interstitials, five Telephone Pole interstitials, two Beaky Buzzard Gag interstitials, and one Daffy Psychic interstitial.
Other returning characters include Sylvester, Elmer Fudd, Yosemite Sam, Wile E. Coyote, Beaky Buzzard, Taz, Marvin the Martian, Pepé Le Pew, Granny, Foghorn Leghorn, Cool Cat, Barnyard Dawg, Speedy Gonzales, The Three Bears, Rocky and Mugsy, Cecil Turtle, Gossamer, and many more.[8]
A holiday special Bugs Bunny's 24-Carrot Holiday Special was released 3 December 2020.[9]
The second set of cartoons was released 21 January 2021 but was briefly removed alongside the holiday special due to a mix-up. The second set was reuploaded a few hours later but with a few hiccups. For example, the twelfth episode was double reuploaded. It has since been fixed.
The third set of cartoons was released 29 April 2021.
On 20 May 2021, Jim Soper wrote that production of the initial order of one thousand minutes of cartoons had finished.[10]
A fourth set was released 8 July 2021.[11]
A back to school special will premiere 19 August 2021.
Notes
- Looney Tunes Cartoons became the first Looney Tunes production since Duck Dodgers to be nominated and win an Annie Award for "Outstanding Achievement for Storyboarding in an Animated Television / Broadcast Production."[12]
- The series made its linear premiere 5 July 2021 on Cartoon Network.[13] The series only aired on Cartoon Network for two weeks as it left after 16 July 2021.[14]
