    Was political correctness what got Looney Tunes out of the mainstream? I’d wager it was Warner/HBO being greedy once streaming became a thing. That, and kids these days don’t care for that animation style compared to the high contrast/saturation visual slop that’s prevalent nowadays, but ya know, get off my lawn.

      It’s more that it’s WAYYY cheaper to do a live action remake of whatever old story and get millions than to spend years animating by hand

          some were a bit sexist, but you can’t tell me roadrunner and coyote were politically incorrect, for example. even if they had one incorrect skit, it could easily be removed. maybe it was the violence that got too much for kids tho
