Warner Brothers is planning on “re-imagining” the Looney Tunes characters into a new series called “Loonatics”, set in 2772 and featuring updated, anime-ised descendants of the originals (ie Buzz Bunny is a martial arts expect with laser eyes - though whether he'll also cross-dress a lot has not been specified). Amongst discussion on the usual suspects there's a palable question of “why are they bending our childhood over the desk and abrubtly sodomising it?”

The answer of course is it's their job (and they can't help it if they enjoy it). And, given that despite initial scepticism, Battlestar Galactica is now seen as one of the better Sci-Fi shows on TV it's not impossible for Loonatics to not entirely suck... possibly.

But you still have to ask: if you're going to spend time and money coming up with characters so far from the originals you claim to be basing them on, what was the point, amongst fficial">all the coverage about... oh.

(Also, when does the copyright on Looney Tunes run out?)
