My audience had a wide age range but with plenty of kids (and yet it was the full-grown adult two seats over who obnoxiously laughed too loudly at everything). I hope it gets a big bump for Labor Day weekend as the last hurrah before school starts.I hope so too. This is definitely something I hope parents with younger kids go to see. I really have no idea what kids like these days.
Yup, I grew up much the same why. I watched Looney Tunes all the time whenever it aired by whomever (as there were many sources).I remember the Bugs and Tweety Show on Saturday mornings. But the shorts were also syndicated on local channels. That was all before Cartoon Network. I had a Bugs Bunny baseball cap I specifically wore whenever the cartoons were on. This is first house I lived. Which we moved out of 1989 age 11. My point, get them to be fans early. But back than so many options. Plus for me almost yearly visit to Six Flags Great America in Gurnee, IL. Where the Looney Tunes were everywhere. So no need to sell these characters to me or my generation. Part of our dna.
Hell, I remember Looney Tunes baseball cards that ran during in the early 90s at the height of baseball cards. There were at least a couple of series which involved the Griffeys, Nolan Ryan, Jim Abbott, and Dave Winfield. I want to say White Sox Michael Jordan was in the mix, too, but I could be misremembering. I still have my cards in a box or two somewhere...
Well, I wouldn't go as far as WB winning if not enough people watch the film. I think it's a win enough that it was properly released in theaters and a lot of people love it. I was never expecting blockbuster money. I'm just happy it's a great film that has been so well received regardless of the box office take.![]()
It's critical that you see "Coyote vs. Acme"
If the latest "Looney Tunes" film doesn't get the support it deserves, Warner Bros. wins.www.salon.com
