Revision as of 01:08, 4 July 2020
Template:Infobox SeriesLooney Tunes Cartoons is a revival of the Looney Tunes franchise comprised of one- to six-minute shorts. The series released a 90-second preview short online on June 12, 2019,[1] but made its proper debut May 27, 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 he wasn't interested in so he talked about what project he was interested in. 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 basically 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]
Episodes released so far include nine Bugs Bunny shorts, five Porky and Daffy shorts, three Tweety shorts, two Daffy Duck shorts, three Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner shorts, and one Ralph Wolf and Sam Sheepdog short, as well as three Marvin the Martian interstitials and four Hole interstitials which star Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd.
Other returning characters include Sylvester, Yosemite Sam, Elmer Fudd, Granny, Beaky Buzzard, Mama Buzzard, Gossamer, and Doctor Moron.
Other characters such as Pepé Le Pew, Taz, Foghorn Leghorn, and Petunia Pig are confirmed to appear in future episodes.
