Cartoon Network Reveals New Looney Toons

The full line up of new-look Looney Tunes has been unveiled from designer Jessica Borutski who redesigned them for the upcoming animated TV series for the Cartoon Network, The Looney Tunes Show. She writes;

"Here they are!! Man I had fun drawing these guys, I love this job SOOO MUCH!!Marisol and Petunia are my personal favorites.

I gave them slightly different proportions that emphasize things I always liked about the characters. An example is Bugs’ feet. I streamlined them and made them bigger. I thought it would look awesome in a walk cycle and be really fun to animate in general.
I spent six months creating a show bible…new turnarounds, notes and drawings showing the new designs…"

Eh, what's up, doc? Bugs and gang are back!

Cartoon Network is launching a new version of the classic Warner Bros. series "Looney Tunes."

The Looney Toons Show" will star Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck, along with Yosemite Sam, Tweety, Sylvester -- the whole gang. Weirdly, the network is having each episode as a half-hour story along with "cartoons within a cartoon." The concept takes Bugs and Daffy out of the woods (awww) and puts them into the suburbs (arrrh!) with "colorful neighbors." You would think in the age of YouTube, re-embracing the show's original seven-minute short-form format would be the smart play here instead of trying for a weekly version of "Desperate Houseduck."

"Looney Tunes" will also having classic characters singing original songs in two-minute music videos called Merrie Melodies and the Road Runner and Coyote in CG shorts.
