If you missed the movie saved from the void, #TheDayTheEarthBlewUp, you have some options to see it. It is currently on #PhysicalMedia. But if you prefer, you can rent or license it from the usual platforms. It also is coming to HBO Max on June 27.

These are another great way to support the movie. And support the planned release of #CoyoteVsAcme. And maybe convince Warner that they maybe shouldnt do bad things to #animation.

Halloween comes early with Juneaween, a cryptload of spooky-themed episodes of MeTV’s weekday morning show Toon In With Me airing Monday, June 2 thru Friday, June 6 from 7-8 a.m. ET/PT. Fans can catch classic cartoons featuring the likes of Bugs Bunny, Sylvester and Tweety all week long! #BewitchedBunny #BroomstickBunny #DrJerkylsHide #HydeandHare #Juneaween #LooneyTunes #MeTV #TooninWithMe #Transylvania6500 #TrickOrTweet

Cuanta música clásica conozco porque la he visto en Tom y Jerry o en los Looney Tunes? Porque han hecho más por mi cultura musical (léase, que me suenen) que casi todas las orquestas del mundo...

La mini chavalería de ahora tiene opciones para poder ver estos dibujos 'en entendible'?
Aparte, sigue habiendo 'polémica' porque son violentos o ya los buscaconflictos se han calmado y han aprendido a contextualizar la violencia de dibujos animados?

My "The Day The Earth Blew Up" bluray showed up today.

If you love classic Looney Tunes , especially Porky Pig, Daffy Duck, and Petunia Pig (who doesn't get cover billing, but is a big part of the film, and equally funny), then you should check this out. it's a lot of fun! And its clear it was made by people who love the old Looney Tunes.

Zaslav is an idiot for selling this film instead of Warners releasing it.

"The Merry-Go-Round Broke Down" is a song written in 1937 by #CliffFriend and #DaveFranklin and published by Harms Inc., New York. It is best known as the theme tune for the #LooneyTunes cartoon series and #MerrieMelodies reissued cartoon series produced by #WarnerBrosCartoons, used from 1937 to 1969. Popular recordings of the song included versions by #ShepFields, #RussMorgan and #EddyDuchin.

Despite WB association with a long history of top animated brands like #BugsBunny, Tom and Jerry, Hanna Barbera, DC Comics, not to mention homebrewed #AdultSwim and other creations, ever since reality TV channel #Discovery honcho David Zaslav stormed #TNT , #WB , #HBO #CartoonNetwork nearly all new #animation content has been going extinct on his embarrassing near miss of a streaming platform portal known as MAX.

Like a villain out of a cartoon, Zaslav has chaotically crushed his own corporate #ContentCreators, pulled the plug on the standalone Boomerang animation #streaming service; offed the #ATX based Rooster Teeth web animation platform and even yanked classic Daffy & Bugs based #LooneyTunes content off the menus.

While animated and children's content still pull ad revenue despite precipitous drops, competitors like #YouTube, #Netflix & Disney+ can attract around 40%+ shares of kid viewership, the youth targeted programming on the dismal MAX app attracts far less than 15% of the tween audience, and even lower amongst the kinder and preschool demographics, also losing the adults in the room.

While Ted Turner once noted in a speech that “On the average evening, more adults are tuned to the Cartoon Network than are tuned to #CNN.” Not to worry about that anymore my friends!

“Discovery came in, and it went downhill fast,” says Robert Alvarez, a retired animator who worked on popular #Cartoon Network shows from the mid-’90s until the Zaslav takeover.
