Whatever happened to them?.
Happened to hear a snippet of Daffy duck on an ad earlier today and that prompted the thought. Great characters, Foghorn leghorn, Yosemite sam etc. The cast list is fantastic. Then got to remember some of the plots and gags, they were genuinely funny at times. The gifted Mel Blanc doing the voices. Compared to some of the dire bilge that's on offer these days this stuff is priceless.
Are they Non PC?. Too much swearing?. Violent?. Would our current crop of darlings be too offended to see a big rooster belt a dog?.  Anyway, I loved them as a kid and was wondering if they could ever make a comeback. Without any CGI bollocks, just the originals. I'd watch them again for sure.  |

They're still making Looney Tunes although it's a million miles away from being like the originals you remember

I remember seeing a Tom and Jerry a few years back and the woman in it, we only see her legs, was over dubbed saying more politically correct things. They were of their time, perhaps reflecting white American culture back then at the expense of the non-white community. You can see why they don't get airtime now in our more racially sensitive universe. Shame enjoyed them as an innocent kid
Here's one from the era you'll never see on TV just to emphasise, not Loony Tunes but of that ilk:

I used to like these cartoons (Daffy Duck, Foghorn Leghorn, The Roadrunner, etc etc) and it's yet another situation where the PC brigade are spoiling everything for the over cossetted precious little darlings of today. On a different subject I also heard that the FA are wanting to make kids football a summer only sport so that they don't get too cold "standing around on a football pitch" in the cold weather.
Bloody hell, cartoons deemed too violent, football too cold - when you consider some of the things they can readily get access to today - violent video games, foul mouthed lyrics in some modern music, all the crap programmes on TV.
The world has gone mad.

The world has gone mad. I agree. It just struck me that if animations such as the Simpsons etc can be broadcast at prime time on mainstream TV what's wrong with a bit of genuine light hearted humour. Crikey each one was only 7 or 8 minutes long,how much damage can be inflicted in that time. |
