Who Framed Roger Rabbit was awesome. This won't be up to that standard though.

We're going to spread this shit like Nutella.

Wow, things are just getting better... Mike Myers is doing a Pepe Le Pew movie and apparently, 1/3 of America doesn't recognize Bugs Bunny these days. http://www.movieline.com/2010/10/4-terrifying-things-about-the-report-that-mike-myers-will-voice-pepe-le-pew.php

More statistics for your information-doubting pleasure.

• Between Myers and Bugs... Bugs Bunny is still the more popular Google search.
• Mike Myers peaked around the time of Shrek 2 and The Love Guru.
• Bugs Bunny peaked around April 2005, a few months before Loonatics Unleashed was released.
• Shrek is ridiculously more popular than either.

She's playing with fire! He's not ready for Nibbly Pig!

this is most likely because bugs bunny hasn't really been in anything lately but shrek has had four movies this past decade.

No.

HELL NO.

(I don't cuss, but seriously. THIS WILL NOT FLY.)

oh, that's why I need this binary mind // ⌘

This movie is not in the same category as Who Framed Roger Rabbit. These films aren't even in the same category as Space Jam or Looney Tunes Back In Action. The only reason films like this are made is the increasingly widespread idea that all you need to make a kids' movie is having a few CGI cartoon characters running around and putting zero effort into everything else. It seems to have started with the addmittedly decent Casper, followed gradually by the somewhat okay-ish Scooby-Doo films and the absolutely awful Alvin And The Chipmunks movies. And now we're going to get Yogi Bear (!), The Smurfs (!!), Tom And Jerry (!!!), Marvin the Martian and Pepé le Pew (!!!) and then THIS.

But I must ask myself, are all these movies really going to make money? Surely even kids will eventually get sick of this... right? But will that happen before or after Hollywood is done desecrating every Hanna Barbera and Looney Tunes character they can dig up? 'Cause if Cats and Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore and Marmaduke are any indication, this kind of film doesn't do nearly as well without "star power". I'm personally hoping a studio will eventually make a Genre-Killer for these movies.

To be honest, I'm starting to doubt whether these things will get made at all. If they do, they'll be so low-profile, they won't make any kind of difference.

So... uh... this Pepe Le Pew movie. A kids' film about a French sex offender. Yeah, this s going to end well.

What's precedent ever done for us?

^Pepe LePew was one of my favorite characters as a kid, so maybe it would go over well. But, that would be if it was in traditional animation. His antics in live action would be weird.

Both Looney Tunes and Tom And Jerry have survived some pretty god-awful adaptations over the years, I think there's a good chance they'll survive these with at least a shred of dignity left. That said, I am not looking forward to these movies at all. >.<

So, aside from the "live action/CGI" thing, what information are people basing their "this is gonna suck" opinions on?

The fact that these characters are meant to operate within the confines of a six-minute cartoon; they can't hold up an entire feature on their own. It'd be repetitive.

That aside, I found Looney Tunes Back In Action very funny, so I guess there's hope!

Well I don't really know anything about the Bugs movie yet, but the Tom and Jerry movie is supposed to be about how they met in Chicago or something like that...

Hopefully this time they don't become friends and try to save a little girl from her evil aunt.

^^ Ditto. I'd be very content if that was the last Live Action Looney Tunes film ever made.
