Looney Tunes have literally been through situations worse than this.

I know. I'm just really trying to help Promote The Day The Earth Blew up because it's gotten very little Marketing from the Official Distributor. Looney Tunes was a huge part of my childhood and I don't want to see it pushed aside like it has been before. #SupportTheDayTheEarthBlewUp

the people who want to watch it will watch it.

I know. Maybe I'm overreacting a little. It has a Low Budget and not much big Competition in March. I'm sure the movie will do fine. I should relax a bit.

nemalki.bsky.social•8 days ago

I understand and appreciate the enthusiasm. But don't put too much pressure on the film to be the savior of the Looney Tunes brand. It's just a movie. Movies come and go.

Succeed or fail, the Looney Tunes will still be around. Don't kill them off so quickly.

Many tried. And failed.

looneytunelegend.bsky.social•8 days ago

Understood. I did quote my original post and side that I overreacted a bit and think the movie will do fine.

nemalki.bsky.social•8 days ago

It's cool.

Again. I dig the passion. Hold onto it. But have faith in the Looney Tunes, Doc.

looneytunelegend.bsky.social•8 days ago

I will.

The classic Twitter fearmongering is back on BlueSky again... Sad!

Looney Tunes fans are way too dramatic and paranoid to the point of becoming insufferable. If the Tunes could survive the atrocious shitshow that was Space Jam 2, it'll survive that alien movie, even if it flops. TV shows will come and go. Movies? Who knows...

Is it Looney Tunes is getting a reboot movie project by Warner Bros Pictures Animation in 2028?

Even if The Day The Earth Blew Up didn't performed all that well, WB is still not giving up on the Looney Tunes franchise.

C'mon. Anyone with a half of a fucking brain would know this.

Warner Bros shut down Warner Bros Cartoons three times. The 1st time was when they tried to cash in on 3D and sold off half of the library to AAP. The 2nd time was when they wanted to save costs on productions & just outsourced everything. The 3rd time was when they stopped making theatrical shorts.

nemalki.bsky.social•8 days ago

Jack Warner couldn't kill Looney Tunes.

The Depatie-Freleng/Format era couldn't kill Looney Tunes.

The Z-list never-wases couldn't kill Looney Tunes.

Chuck Jones' ego-driven fare couldn't kill Looney Tunes.

Back in Action's failure couldn't kill Looney Tunes.

Looney Tunes are very resilient.

Oh, no...

We're not doing that here, so... stop.

gamermouse647.bsky.social•7 days ago

Plus, WB apparently plans on revitalizing the Looney Tunes franchise with its currently top-secret project that's supposed to launch in 2028, so that's definitely looking forward to once that happens.

mrvenom32.bsky.social•5 days ago

I have a bit of a soft spot for Back In Action due to me loving Brendan Fraser and Timothy Dalton

nemalki.bsky.social•5 days ago

I do too.

I still think of the three live-action Looney Tunes films; it's the best of the trio.

rangerdonald.bsky.social•7 days ago

Chuck Jones' ego-driven fare?

nemalki.bsky.social•7 days ago

Yeah.

From the late 1970s until his death, Chuck Jones pretty much saw himself as the God of Looney Tunes, inserted himself into Friz Freleng and Robert McKimson's legacies, and nearly rewrote the history of Termite Terrace, and WB let him get away with a lot of that.

What are some examples of Chuck Jones' ego-driven productions? I admit, I'm only familiar with Jones' 40s and 50s shorts, his T&J shorts and the two MGM one-shots, the Dr. Seuss productions, and Rikki Tikki Tavi.

At Warner Bros, he was the guy behind The Bugs Bunny-Road Runner Movie, which was, more or less, a tribute to himself and how he made Bugs Bunny the character he is today and will always be. He made numerous self-referential projects that were boring and treated like he was the Cartoon God Almighty.

wb8979.bsky.social•4 days ago

Ah, I see. I don't think I ever seen The Bugs Bunny-Road Runner Movie in full, but I do remember seeing it rerun on HBO Family in the mid/late 90s.

kaminokatie.bsky.social•4 days ago

Chuck made that movie after he got fired from Warner Bros due to secretly working with UPA on Gay Purée

nemalki.bsky.social•8 days ago

Looney Tunes have been around since 1930... or is it 1933, the actual birth year has been fuzzy. Let's just say over 90 years. They've survived many corporate upheavals, ownerships, and managements. They've been a part of every major media format.

Trust me, doc, they're going to outlive us all.

crashfan03.bsky.social•6 days ago

i mean 1930 was when the series started, but 1933 is when leon schlesinger productions was founded (but you're probably joking lol)

kaminokatie.bsky.social•4 days ago

To quote Disney’s Peter Pan: All of this has happened before and it will happen again

jenkat57.bsky.social•8 days ago

No, Dumps have a stupid crisis so...constitutionally we must suffer.

twin-images.bsky.social•7 days ago

I also want TDTEBU to succeed (I plan on seeing the movie when it opens), but I'm sick and tired of all the fear mongering that WB will sell off Looney Tunes if this 1 movie tanks. No, that's not going to happen. At all.

twin-images.bsky.social•7 days ago

Worst case scenario: if TDTEBU under performs, we'll have to wait significantly longer for a new Looney Tunes project. If the movie does well, it will encourage WB to make more films like it.

mistahaye.bsky.social•5 days ago

While I highly doubt they’ll kill off the Looney Tunes altogether, what IS a very real possibility is that if this film doesn’t do well that the prospect of MORE films is down the drain.

And to that end I can understand the concern specially considering the Wiley vs ACME thing

szuniverse.bsky.social•8 days ago

The brand will be fine. It's the biggest brand or one of the biggest brands under the WBD label. Even if this upcoming movie doesn't perform well Looney Tunes will still be made. They want to keep these characters alive for the next generation.

channeleven.bsky.social•5 days ago

Well put, people like that are gonna poison the well for those looking into it.
