Toon'd Up! A Rundown of News from Animaniacs on Hulu to Bugs Bunny Builders.
Tuesday Feb 23, 2021
Tuesday Feb 23, 2021
After a brief hiatus, the podcast has returned with a breakdown and dissection of the latest Looney Tunes News across all franchises including news of a rebooted Tiny Toons; titled Tiny Toons Looniversity! and Animaniacs on Hulu!
I'm joined by my wife and massive Disney fan Sabina Graves (@ThatLadyGraves on Instagram and @SabinaHasNoR on Twitter) who brings so extra excitement in our discussions surrounding the newly announced animated shows from Warner Animation!
According to The Hollywood Reporter, we will be seeing a big push for pre-school audiences and we're excited about watching them with our future kids!
Bugs Bunny Builders (working title) – Produced by Warner Bros. Animation and built on the solid comedic foundation of the iconic Looney Tunes, Bugs Bunny Builders brings the wackiness, humor and slapstick we’ve grown to love to a new preschool audience. At ACME Construction Company Bugs Bunny and Lola Bunny manage a crew of builders that, quite frankly, should not be anywhere near a construction site. However, by working together as a team, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, Tweety and others use their tools and wild vehicles to pull off some of the looniest construction jobs ever.
Tweety Mysteries (working title) – Tweety Mysteries is a hybrid live-action/animated adventure from Warner Bros. Animation and Warner Bros. Television that follows a curious tween investigative journalist and podcaster named Sydney and her sidekick Tweety bird. Working together the pair must solve various local mysteries in their small, quirky Washington state town.
Space Jam 2 - X-Box Game Contest and 3 seconds of Footage
Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar is a bonkers mash of zany comedy with an Austin Powers bend! Highly recommend checking it out if you love 90's era comedies.
Lola Bunny in the Looney Tunes Show voiced by Kristen Wiig.
Dave Baer has passed away at 70.
He animated Mickey Mouse in this classic scene from Who Framed Roger Rabbit; which is a seminal moment in animation as two legends finally shared the screen together.

Mutiny on the Bounty (1935)
OSCAR WINNER: Best Picture -
Synopsis: The Bounty is on a mission in the South Seas. The brutal and arrogant Captain Bligh (Charles Laughton in an Oscar-nominated performance) becomes antagonized by the genteel manner of the First Officer Christian Fletcher (Clark Gable, who was also nominated for the "Best Actor" Oscar). While in Tahiti, the men of The Bounty are seduced by the gentle beauty of the island and its women. Nominated for 8 Academy Awards and winning for "Best Picture," this 1935 vigorous retelling of a true historic incident about a British ship commandeered from its brutal master, remains a cinematic classic.
