Looney Tunes Images
Some of my fondest childhood memories revolve around Looney Tunes images. Bugs Bunny was a staple in our home. My brother and I spent countless hours watching Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck and Elmer Fudd along with the other crazy cartoon characters. We were entertained by these characters for years and years and I find it very difficult to believe that the cartoons are no longer being aired.
The cartoons (my brother and I refer to them as Bus Bunny cartoons) are no longer aired on television. There are updated Looney Tunes images that are presented with new storylines but they are not nearly as good as the originals.
This tragic turn of cartoon events is due to concerns about political correctness and concerns about violence on television. The edited Looney Tunes images are better than nothing but even these cut versions are scarcely seen on television today. I find this to be detrimental to the development of my childs cartoon appreciation skills.
The thing that I loved about the Bugs Bunny cartoons was the detail in the artwork. The background scenes were meticulous and had details that are lacking in todays cartoons. The Looney Tunes images were far more professional than the flat characters and empty backgrounds presented to us today.
The music was another great feature of the older cartoons. I was introduced to classical music through Bugs Bunny. Not only were the Looney Tunes images of superior quality, the music was as well. Mozart was a regularly featured composer on many of the episodes that we watched every Saturday morning.
One episode won an award for its amazing attention to detail. The character in the cartoon was playing the piano. The artists drew the characters hands to replicate an actual piano players as he struck the keys. This Looney Tunes image is not socially unacceptable nor is it violent. It is also never aired on television anymore.
I guess that I will rely on downloading Looney Tunes images from the computer to teach my daughter about what I watched while I was growing up. I guess that I will have to pull the fond stories and tales out of my mind to share with my child.
Saturday mornings will never be the same without the classic cartoon entertainment. It has been years since I have seen one of these cartoons but the Looney Tunes images remain strong in my memory.
