Tummy Trouble TV Spot

Here's the return of Maroon Cartoons to the big screen after 1988's Who Framed Roger Rabbit.

Rabid Rider 2010

Thanks to this brave soul who went to see the live-action version of Yogi Bear, they were kind enough to snag a peek at the third, hopefully not final, CG Looney Tunes short "Rabid Rider".
Oh, and Happy New Year everybody! All the best in 2011!

Hey 2010, Make Way for 1964

Before Warner Bros Pictures releases it's live action version of Hanna-Barbera's Yogi Bear this weekend, try some of the good ol' old school stuff here!

Road Runner & Coyote 3D Theatrical Cartoons

You can have a sneak peek at all 3 CG Road Runner & Wile E. Coyote cartoons here:

The CG animation really captures the look and feel of the classic traditionally animated cartoons of the golden age with a modern twist. I wonder if Warner Bros Animation will produce more (and longer) 3D cartoons?
Can't wait for a DVD/Blu-Ray release of these cartoons to enjoy at home eventually.

Coyote Falls 2010

Gotta admit they really captured the style and look of the classics with CG animation finally.
My only complaint would be the Roadrunner's design - his tail is one big feather? I hope they continue producing more shorts in 3D - but only Wile E. Coyote and Roadrunner, it may look really odd putting Bugs and Daffy in a 3D setting.

A short peek at the first of 3 upcoming CGI Roadrunner-Coyote shorts premiering in theaters soon.
Coyote Falls will debut on July 30th in front of "Cats & Dogs 2"...

RoboCat BG Artwork

The 1992 film "Stay Tuned" includes a fun animated segment called "RoboCat" which features the voice talent of the film's stars, John Ritter & Pam Dawber, as they suddenly find themselves as animated mice. Chuck Jones directed the segment while paying homage to his roots at Warner Bros.
The story, music, animation and artwork capture the feel of a classic cartoon from the old days. Here is a collection of the backgrounds that you can see as you watch the segment.

Warner Bros have finally decided to re-launch the classic Looney Tunes franchise to a new generation with a new animated TV series and new CG theatrical cartoon shorts, that will feature The Roadrunner & Wile E. Coyote.I like the new modern take of the characters and hope they are rebooted with audiences today. Nothing will ever take the place of the classic cartoon short from the Golden Age, but the characters themselves are timeless. As long as they bring the laughs and chuckles, they should be around for a lot longer.

Trail Mix-Up Inside Gags

The final Roger Rabbit theatrical short, "Trail Mix-Up" (1993) directed by Barry Cook, is full of inside jokes and I've always liked searching for them.
What kind of underwear does Roger wear? For some reason it's revealed here. Those extra "tents" in the background are a nice touch.The props from "Somethin's Cookin'" (1988), the opening short in the original film, make an appearance along with Warner Bros' ACME company logo changed slightly to avoid a law suit.Some nice cameos hiding within the animation itself:A tribute of sorts to the previous director of "Tummy Trouble" (1989) and "Roller coaster Rabbit" (1990), Rob Minkoff.Seems that Mrs. Herman stopped for break while hunting.After being stung several times, Roger spits out some hitchhiking bees. This one seems to be a caricature of one of the animators?There's Disney's mouse.The Genie from "Aladdin" (1992).Evinrube the dragonfly from "The Rescuers" (1977).TinkerBell from "Peter Pan" (1953).Looks like more than one Disney character went through the saw mill. ("Pinocchio"(1940))The 1996 release of "The Best of Roger Rabbit" VHS tape, which included all three shorts, "Trail Mix-Up" included gags that were "edited" for the 2003 release of the Vista Series DVD. Wish I hadn't sold it at a garage sale.
Roger rushes by a sexy poster featuring Jessica(?) riding a long saw. The first sign reads "Watch Your Tool". Both signs were quite visible on the VHS version.When both Baby Herman and Roger fly by the screen, Baby has Mickey Mouse pupils while Roger has skull & Crossbones pupils. That gag got covered up on the DVD. Why? Who knows?Does anyone know who's featured on this wanted poster?A nice Disney Park Attraction advertisement.I guess that's the end of Mrs. Herman. She was pretty mean-spirited anyway.Raoul J. Raoul is the governor of South Dakota. He was the fictional director of the first Roger Rabbit cartoon, "Somethin's Cookin'".I'm not sure if there are anymore hidden gags in the cartoon, but let's watch it anyway. A nice send-off short for a very funny rabbit.

Little Go Beep BG Artwork

September 17th marks the 60th Anniversary of the release of the first Road Runner & Wile E. Coyote cartoon, "Fast and Furry-ous" (1949)!In celebration, here is a collection of background artwork from the well-crafted modern cartoon "Little Go Beep" (2000).Directed by Spike Brandt with Art Direction by Alan Bodner and Production Design by Frederick J. Gardner III.
Backgrounds by Bonnie Callahan, Dennis Durrell, Patricia Keppler, Dennis Venizelos and Bill Wray. Titles by Tim Cahill, Chris Duncan, Bill Franks and Craig Kelly.Actually this cartoon was created in 1999 to celebrate the duo's 50th Anniversary, but wasn't released until 2000. If the cartoon makers had their choice, this was a rare glimpse at what the Baby Looney Tunes series could have been like.
You can add "Little Go Beep" to your cartoon collection by picking up a copy of "Daffy Duck's Quackbusters" on DVD from Warner Home Video!
