The Enduring Cleverness of ‘Looney Tunes’ Cartoons

Turner Classic Movies (TCM) announced that they will be airing Looney Tunes cartoons alongside the movies with which they debuted.

For the first time since these cartoons appeared, they will be programmed and presented alongside the very classic films with which they debuted, and that’s something to say “Sufferin’ Succotash!” about.

To help introduce this incredible announcement, TCM invited comedy stars such as Patton Oswalt, Dana Gould, Bill Hader, and Joe Dante to talk about the enduring cleverness and comedic brilliance of these iconic cartoon characters.

A murderer’s row of Looney Tunes fans–filmmaker Joe Dante, actor/comedians Patton Oswalt and Dana Gould, actor/director Bill Hader and animation historians Jerry Beck and Mark McCray—appear to discuss the comedic brilliance and lasting power of Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck and the whole animated gang.
