Two things can be true at the same time:
1. The "animation is for kids" stereotype has harmed Western animators for generations.
2. If every other new animated series looks like a mix of Steven Universe and Family Guy, don't expect normies to take animation seriously as art.
How it feels to be followed by Satoshi Okano (Sonic), Matt Danner (Looney Tunes Show) on Twitter and Fred Seibert (What A, Oh Yeah, and Random Catoons), Steve Belfer (Spongebob composer), and Kirk Wise (Disney's Beauty & the Beast, Hunchback, and Atlantis director) on IG
This cover drawn by Dave Alvarez for the DC Looney Tunes comic's 50th issue and compilation reissue does a better job at showing how these characters would really act towards each other compared to how WB treats them as a family akin to the Muppets
It all traces back to the issue of WB making the franchise like Mickey Mouse and Friends. Some of the promotional art since the 90s are the most prominent examples
the big appeal of looney tunes to me was always the fact these characters would often just run into each other and be ready for blood at first sight so when you make them weirdly family related and caring the entire appeal is personally gone for me lmao
