I was going to do another animal post, but the week was looking kind of iffy. Figured I would see if there was an interesting holiday. My eyes went right to ‘National Bugs Bunny Day’. I grew up watching Looney Tunes, so I couldn’t resist doing a post. Enjoy.
Charles E. Yallowitz was born, raised, and educated in New York. Then he spent a few years in Florida, realized his fear of alligators, and moved back to the Empire State. When he isn't working hard on his epic fantasy stories, Charles can be found cooking or going on whatever adventure his son has planned for the day. 'Legends of Windemere' is his first series, but it certainly won't be his last.
You’re welcome. The change from 1996 to 2010 was probably due to art style and techniques. It kind of looks like he was drawn by hand until 2010 when he’s more computer drawn.
Oooh, thank you for this! Yesterday very late I was doing some writing and for some reason an image wanted to sneak into one of the poems – of the cloud which does not let Bugs Bunny fall through it (but does Elmer and Daffy) and was wondering where did it come from . I am going to go with subconscious synchronicity!
Now I am just thinking of how they added an homage to that cloud by making it the 4th, ultimate spell, for Monkey King hero in Heroes of Newerth and it was cool but damn, was it a bad ultimate. I miss old computer games, and I miss old cartoons with Bugs Bunny – although I have to admit that I did get hooked on the second to last looney tunes iteration (and I blame it on the songs!)
That makes sense. I think the original Monkey King legend had him riding a cloud. I mean, Dragon Ball is based on the legend. Not sure how it would work as a big attack.
Which one was the second to last version? I get them mixed up.
I get them mixed up too, especially when they keep making new iterations. This one had the original art style, just slightly more HD (the last iteration I remember had a big character redesign, and I do not know what exactly it was, but it just wasn’t right to me) and it had a lot of songs that my kid, and me adored, this one being one of :
I would say it is definitely worth a watch, the songs are really nice – but I would argue it is definitely not for kids, even though my kid loved it (and saw it when he was about 5 or so).
I think the classics had a lot of adult content too. I guess the trick is to have adult jokes that kids won’t get and silly humor as well. Hit both demographics.
Legends of Windemere 
I’d forgotten how entertaining these cartoons were! Thanks for a happy post. I wonder why Bugs’ torso got shorter and his legs and feet longer.

Probably true. I like the 1942 and 1996 versions.

Maybe it was the flying nimbus from Dragon Ball?
