This is despicable.
All the info being thrown around is from the link that no one apparently looked at.demon said:
Also, found this over at Toon Zone:
Toon Zone also references these Loonatics as being "descendants" of the original Looney Tunes characters... not sure if that's meant in terms of actual ancestry or in terms of creative derivatives.

Duck Dodgers wasn't a major redesign of the character. It was just Daffy in a goofy suit.
If I saw this new Bugs somewhere (without knowing who it was), I'd thinking he was the new protagonist in Sonic X or something.

I don't think this new Bugs will be replacing the old Bugs from now on. It's a one-shot reimagining for this new show.
It's like making a Duck Dodgers TV show.
And if you're going to get pissed about a change to beloved Looney Toons characters, get pissed about them turning the zany, one-feather-askew Daffy Duck into the mean, humorless Daffy Duck in the '50s. I'm still pissed about that one.
Damn, looks like it's real: http://www.michaelbarrier.com/

First words I said: What the FUCK. Awesome first post, first poster.
I like how this new show is getting rid of everything that makes these characters who they are. Bug Bunny isn't some kind of bad-ass mother fucker, he's a sly-witted smart ass.
Who wants to bet that in at least one, if not all of the episodes, Buzz Bunny will say the words "What's up, Doc?" in a dark, semi-'threatening' tone before taking someone out? *sigh*
And how the hell do you make the Road Runner cooler than he is already? Is he just going to be a rocket that goes, "Deet deet" and flies around? How can he and Wile E Coyote be on a team?
Oh shit, I just realised...this is also gonna lead to "bad ass" Yosammity Sam and Elmer Fudd, isn't it?
*weeps*
This is the worst news EVAR.
Oh snap, I'd be up for that. Anyone else wanna go?

Mickey got much lamer once he lost the pac man eyes.
Of course, what they're doing to the Looney Toons is exponentially worse.

THIS TOWN AIN'T BIG ENOUGH FOR THE BOTH OF US
Are you kidding? Mickey Mouse was a straight up JERK in the early cartoons. He was full of himself and freely manipulated others.
Yeah, it was funny, but they eventually homogenized him. He lost any real personality and instead became a character that could be plugged into any situation. The other Disney starts like Donald and Goofy became a lot more popular because they had clear personalities from the start.
I mean, there is a vague "naive do-gooder" image for Mickey that's been played throughout the years, and I'm not sure if there's a need to reinvent him, but he certainly hasn't evolved in a long, long time.

The zany Daffy Duck is the humorless one if you ask me. It wears thin after like two features. Completely one dimensional. The greedy, looking out for number one, wise-craking Daffy was more versatile. The zany Daffy could never be Duck Tracy or Duck Rogers. Sticking him with Speedy Gonzales in the late 60s though is what kind of sucked.

Get a grip, pal. Bugs Bunny was a cartoon about Elmer Fudd hunting him. Or Daffy Duck getting involved. Or Bugs Bunny running away from lions. How does what you say make any sense? A shot at the childhood's of many millions of people? What planet are you from? I doubt that line makes sense anywhere in this universe, translated to all the languages in existance.WedgeX said:
You're hopped up on nostalgia. Just like everyone else. Your memories and childhood experiences were fed to you by multi-million/billion dollar corporations, and you're whining about them adjusting to the times?
Just... everyone, get a grip. Think for once. This shouldn't mean anything to anyone.

Finally, somebody picked up on it! Thank You.
In the grand scheme of things, because they aren't replacing the originals, yeah, it means nothing. Kinda like Tiny Toons.
But the classic Looney Tunes era of 40s and 50s had and appeal about them that were just about timeless. They didn't put mop haircuts on them in the 60s, they weren't hippied or discoed up for the 70s, and when I grew up with them in the 80s, they weren't wearing legwarmers or have multicolored hair nor did they change the classical scores to new wave. Bugs and his pals peacefully coexisted alongside He-man or Transformers or Thundercats or whatever. I just think it's a little sad that some kids today get to miss out on some really good, classic animation.
