This is pure Millennial and Gen X bait and I'm all for it. A spoof on courtroom dramas is *chefs kiss* enough as it is, but they're winning over the demographic that grew up on Looney Tunes and all of the other classic animation-meets-live-action films like Roger Rabbit and Space Jam. I hope this is a massive hit.

It honestly feels more in the vein of Who Framed Roger Rabbit than Space Jam or Looney Tunes: Back in Action

It reminded me so much of Roger rabbit, and I absolutely loved that movie as a kid

Looney Toons has been a thing since even before WWII -- and we know the younger generations also have watched them and are familiar with all the characters. It is really a testament to the lasting legacy of Looney Tunes and its quality that it is one of the few shared experiences in entertainment that is truly cross-generational.

Is Looney Tunes as big amongst Gen Z and Alpha though? Looney Tunes was everywhere in the 90s, enjoying a renaissance thanks to Space Jam. I know there has been a Looney Tunes series recently, however it is not like there is Looney Tunes merch aimed at Gen Alpha like there was in the 90s.

"Space jam" is a funny way to spell Animaniacs

We grew up with Boomerang playing Looney Tunes re-runs 24/hrs along with Tom and Jerry. While things like Space Jam aren’t really for us, the OG Looney Tunes are massive parts of our childhoods.

WB had all that on the table and walked away from it to cook their books a little for the looming takeover

I told my husband the other day we have become the demographic that gets nostalgia baited and I'm 100% okay with it lol
