Remake Bugs?

There are some things you just don't do. One of them is remake Bugs Bunny:

The Looney Tunes characters — six in all — have been "reimagined" (in studio parlance) for a new series called "Loonatics," which is set to air next fall on WPIX/Channel 11 as part of the Saturday morning Kids' WB program lineup.

[...]

He said the characters' superpowers have not yet been finalized. And neither have their names, although they are expected to have names close to those of their ancestors (think Buzz Bunny).

Great. A "reimagined" Bugs. Here is their blecch! reimagined Bugs:

Of course, it gets worse:

"This is a kids show intended for kids today who are growing up in the Internet age, an age of technology, an age of hip, cool animation, and something that we hope will resonate with that age group," explained Sander Schwartz, president of Warner Bros. Animation, in a phone interview from Hollywood.

Yep that's right. A character that went fundamentally unchanged for 60 years, was one of the most popular characters during that entire time, needs a new, "edgier" look. When I was 8 years old, as a cartoon character, he was already 30 years old, and he was one of the most popular cartoon characters then. For some reason, the producers back then didn't give Bugs Glam Rock makeup and a Members Only Jacket in order that he'd appeal to a younger demographic. What kind of idiot messes with an icon of animation?

I forgot, the kind that wants to give Bugs super powers:

For "Loonatics," the six characters are being projected 700 years into the future, given superpowers, and outfitted in tight-fitting, slenderizing space gear.

[...]

He said the characters' superpowers have not yet been finalized. And neither have their names, although they are expected to have names close to those of their ancestors (think Buzz Bunny)

Lovely. Now, instead of Bugs getting by with his wits, he'll use his superpower. And something tells me it won't be related to how smoking Bugs looks in a Dress.

No, that would just be so 1999, you know.

Update: Michelle at A Small Victory has more:

Stop fucking with my childhood, please. Stop remaking my favorite movies and stop giving my favorite cartoon characters makeovers. Is the entertainment industry so bereft of new, creative ideas that they have to basterdize everything that was good about tv and movies? Eh, don't answer that. I know the answer.
