Warner Bros. offering "re-imagined" versions of classic cartoon characters
Talk about extreme makeovers. Take a look at what's happening to Daffy and Bugs.
Hoping to breathe new life into its animated Looney Tunes franchise and prop up the WB television network's slumping Kids' WB line-up, Time Warner Inc.'s Warner Bros. is planning to launch a new cartoon series this fall based on "re-imagined" versions of Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Tasmanian Devil, Lola Bunny, Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote.
Warner Bros. has created angular, slightly menacing-looking versions of the classic Looney Tunes characters for its new series, dubbed "Loonatics" and set in the year 2772.
Names for the new characters haven't been finalized, but they are likely to be derived from the originals: Buzz Bunny, for example.
Yo Yogi, anyone?

Yo Yogi at least stayed somewhat on model.

I had forgotten about Yo Yogi. How could that have happened?
