Cartoon Network's Thanksgiving Holiday programming will feature the World Television Premiere of <b>SCOOBY-DOO AND THE CYBER CHASE</b>, on Saturday, November 24, 7 p.m. (ET, PT), as well as a LOONEY TUNES MOVIE MARATHON on Friday, November 23, 9 a.m.-5 p.m. (ET, PT).
<b>Scooby-Doo and the Cyber Chase</b>, the latest adventure starring
Scooby-Doo and the Mystery, Inc. gang, makes its premiere on Cartoon
Theatre, Cartoon Network's showcase of the best contemporary animated
features, on Saturday, November 24, at 7 p.m. (ET, PT). Scooby-Doo,
Shaggy, Velma, Fred and Daphne face their most electrifying case ever when
they are zapped into a high-tech computer game based on their own
Mystery, Inc. adventures in this all-new, feature-length movie. While
pursuing the Phantom Computer Virus through the ten levels of the
video game, the gang travels from the prehistoric past to the space-age
future and even manages to meet up with their own digital doubles
along the way.
Most of the nation will enjoy a day off to indulge in shopping and a
huge turkey sandwich or two, but Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Elmer Fudd
and other cartoon stars will settle in for a full day's work during
the Looney Tunes Movie Marathon on Friday, November 23 from 9 a.m-5
p.m. Following is a description of the four Looney Tunes features that
Cartoon Network will present.
* 9 a.m.: Daffy Duck's Quackbusters (TV-G)-Upon the death of J.B.
Cubish, Daffy Duck inherits a Daffy million dollars, which he, Bugs
Bunny and Porky Pig use to start a ghost-busting business. Their sole
purpose: destroy the ghost of Cubish, Daffy's benefactor. The film
features a number of classic Looney Tunes, such as "Hyde And Go Tweet,"
"The Abominable Snow Rabbit" and "Transylvania 6-500," as well as the
first new cartoon Warner Bros. had produced in decades: "The
Duxorcist." Daffy Duck's Quackbusters is a 1988 Warner Bros. production.
*
* 11 a.m.: Friz Freleng's Looney Looney Looney Bugs Bunny Movie
(TV-G)-This 1981 Warner Bros. compilation film is made up of three acts.
Act One: Yosemite Sam raises hell with the devil in a remake of the
1963 short Devil's Feud Cake. Act Two: Bugs Bunny outwits inept
gangsters Rocky and Mugsy who hold Tweety hostage. Act Three: Bugs acts
as host for a zany parody of Hollywood awards programs.
*
* 1 p.m.: Daffy Duck's Movie: Fantastic Island (TV-G)-In this 1983
Warner Bros. film, Daffy Duck and Speedy Gonzales have been shipwrecked
on a desert island for a long time. They find Yosemite Sam's
treasure map, but instead of treasure, they dig up a wishing well that
transforms the island into a spoof of Fantasy Island. Daffy and Speedy
welcome visitors whose fantasies come true via footage from classic
cartoons. Daffy Duck's Movie: Fantastic Island includes clips from
Buccaneer Bunny, Stupor Duck, Greedy for Tweety and From Hare to Heir.
*
* 3 p.m.: Bugs Bunny's 3rd Movie: 1001 Rabbit Tales (TV-G)-Daffy Duck
and Bugs Bunny are rival book salesmen for Rambling House Publishers
in this 1982 feature length compilation from Warner Bros. They
travel the world finding new places to sell their wares. In the Arabian
desert, Bugs encounters Sultan (Yosemite) Sam and his bratty little
son Prince Abadaba. Sam forces Bugs to read him stories from books.
The film features several classic titles, including Ali Baba Bunny,
Apes of Wrath, Bewitched Bunny, Cracked Quack, Goldimouse and the Three
Cats, Mexican Boarders, One Froggy Evening, Pied Piper of Guadalupe,
Red Riding Hoodwinked, Tweety and the Beanstalk and Wise Quackers.
