Looney Tunes is pretty much the antithesis of that. “We’re going through this wave of anti-bullying, ‘everyone needs to be friends’, ‘everyone needs to get along’. The modern versions will reflect modern sensibilities, he said. “I always thought, ‘What if Warner Bros had never stopped making Looney Tunes cartoons?
