Relationship between Looney Tunes, Merrie Melodies

The Merrie Melodies article (opening section) refers to Looney Tunes as a parent series, while the Looney Tunes article (opening section) refers to Merrie Melodies as a sister series. Which is more accurate? In the absence of such thing as some sort of series incest, these relationships apparently contradict.

"Sister series" is correct for the historical context of the shorts series, "parent" is more correct as far as branding is considered today. The lead has been fixed to reflect this. --FuriousFreddy (talk) 01:48, 7 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed merge with The Looney Tunes Show (2002 TV series)

Article contains no useful info and it was just a reruns of the original series/ JDDJS (talk) 14:37, 30 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of The Martian Queen content

In these sets of edits [1][2] user Zjec added content about a Martian Queen character. I feel this content is clunky and distracts from the scope of the paragraph, which is to present a quick prose list of various Looney Tunes series. I also don't think the parentheticals that indicate who "stars" in the series is useful and it invites more additions like the Martian Queen. For this reason (which I explained in my original edit summary I am removing the content again. If the paragraph were specifically about Duck Dodgers, it would make more sense to mention the Martian Queen, but that is not what the paragraph intends to cover. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 18:10, 16 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see what the problem is. She's another looney tunes character and thought it'd be nice to give her some recognition - 18:15, 16 September 2014 (UTC) user Zjec

We don't give "recognition" to characters; information shouldn't be gratuitously included. If there is a logical reason for writing about a character in a paragraph that is focused on the different series, you haven't yet explained it. The focus of the paragraph isn't "characters in Looney Tunes shows" or "new characters introduced in Looney Tunes shows". Thus, I find it an unnecessary inclusion, especially when stuffed into a parenthetical. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 19:39, 16 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Roger Rabbit an epic?

Does Who Framed Roger Rabbit qualify as an epic film? While I enjoyed the film I don't think it has particularly "large scale, sweeping scope and spectacle". — Preceding unsigned comment added by CryptographicallyInsecure (talk • contribs) 22:16, 17 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

CryptographicallyInsecure Hi, I don't think it's the correct way to describe the film. I changed epic to film. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 14:43, 21 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Question about the Looney Tunes article

Why was it reverted back to the previous one? The Merrie Melodies article still mentions the one-off 1988 revival, so why can't this article mention the 1987 to present revival? 24.180.56.157 (talk) 22:20, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Also, the last pre-revival Looney Tunes short ended in 1969, not 1970. 24.180.56.157 (talk) 22:26, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

New Shorts

The new shorts which are said to be released in 2019 could possibly be the third and final season of Wabbit/New Looney Tunes. Doesn't make sense they would start a new series before finishing the current series. YouDontKnowSponge (talk) 20:50, 22 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Can't be. Bergman isn't voicing Bugs, Eric Bauza is. Peter Browngardt isn't on Wabbit staff. Wabbit cartoons are longer than these shorts--Harmony944 (talk) 15:11, 25 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The third season could be retooled like how the second season was retooled from the first season. Perhaps different people also worked on the third season. They could have changed the voice of Bugs for Season 3. Daffy is also in his New Looney Tunes design in a teaser image. Time will only tell. YouDontKnowSponge (talk) 19:05, 30 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You're really grasping at straws--Harmony944 (talk, Twitter) 15:31, 3 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 24 March 2020

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

In the third paragraph of the introduction it has been changed to say Bugs Bunny is a rapist and has died. (outlined in bold below) Page was then semi-protected so falsehoods cannot be changed. Rollback to previous true version is required

Looney Tunes has since become a worldwide media franchise, spawning several television series, feature films, comic books, music albums, video games, and amusement park rides, as well as serving as Warner Bros.' flagship franchise. Many of the characters have made and continue to make cameo appearances in various other television shows, films, and advertisements. The most famous Looney Tunes character is Bugs Bunny, a struggling rapist who left the world on the 22nd of March, 2020 to witness perfection.[4] Several Looney Tunes films are considered among the greatest animated cartoons of all time (e.g. Duck Amuck, One Froggy Evening and What's Opera, Doc?; All three Merrie Melodies), and five (three Merrie Melodies: Tweetie Pie, Speedy Gonzales and Birds Anonymous; and two Looney Tunes: Knighty Knight Bugs and For Scent-imental Reasons) have won Academy Awards.[5] Bhar7198Bhar (talk) 00:20, 24 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Time Warner caves to far-left extremist anti-gun nuts.

The anti-gun rights radical leftists in control of the corporation won't let the hunter Elmer Fudd or Yosemite Sam have guns because of "gun violence": [3] I see no reason why only criticism of the cartoon by leftists hysterically screaming "Racism!" over certain episodes created eighty years ago should be included in the article. If you truly are a neutral encyclopedia, you will include criticism by normal Americans over the show's recent radical leftist political agenda. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.203.11.231 (talk) 05:55, 8 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

We can mention that the new cartoons do not include guns (in fact, I'd used the quote "“We’re not doing guns,” Browngardt said. “But we can do cartoony violence — TNT, the Acme stuff. All that was kind of grandfathered in.”" from [4]. But we can't be critical of that without reliable sources being critical of it, even the Fox news piece is not that. --Masem (t) 06:04, 8 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Bear in mind that the characters being shot at were anthropomorphic, so it was essentially gun violence against persons. BMJ-pdx (talk) 07:00, 14 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Jordan vs Lebron

Ok, who wrote this article? Are we seriously gonna call Lebron a basketball mega superstar and just call Jordan a basketball player? If anyone was the mega superstar it was Jordan. Whoever wrote that must be too young to remember the phenomenon that was Michael Jordan. There’s no need to go all King James like Space Jam 2 did. Either call them both basketball players or switch the descriptions. It’s absolutely disgraceful to pretend that James is on a level beyond Jordan. It would be like comparing any actor today to one of the true stars of golden age Hollywood. There’s no comparison. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:249:8100:D270:9C3D:1FD3:14CD:F1E (talk) 14:58, 28 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Awkward Introductory Phrasing

The second sentence in this entire article has pretty awkward phrasing:

"Then some new cartoons were produced from the late 1980s to the mid 2010s as well as other made productions beginning in 1972."

Could this be written more elegantly? 2601:44:404:23F1:18EC:1BA5:2647:C7CC (talk) 16:18, 4 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in Looney Tunes

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Looney Tunes's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "Amazon":

From Scooby-Doo! Moon Monster Madness: "Scooby-Doo! Moon Monster Madness". 17 February 2015 – via Amazon.
From Scooby-Doo! and the Witch's Ghost: "Scooby-Doo! and the Witch's Ghost". Amazon. 1999. Retrieved July 17, 2011.
From Scooby-Doo! Pirates Ahoy!: "Scooby-Doo! Pirates Ahoy!". 19 September 2006 – via Amazon.
From Lego Scooby-Doo! Haunted Hollywood: "Scooby Doo and Lego: Haunted Hollywood". 10 May 2016 – via Amazon.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. Feel free to remove this comment after fixing the refs. AnomieBOT ⚡ 06:27, 9 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
